I have not lost any weight in about two days. I wonder if it's because I've been subsisting on the leftover rice and beans from Dos Coyotes? I'm only eating about 3/4 of a cup of the leftovers a day, in addition to a small square of polenta. However, when I looked up the nutritional information on the web, it seems like there is a LOT of sodium in the rice and beans. The rice and beans I make here has very little sodium.
So, I've boiled a batch of rice and mixed in the lentils with the leftovers to dilute the sodium. I think I have about enough food to get me through at least half the week, maybe more... if it all keeps, that is. Of course, with that much sodium, it'll probably last until the next Presidential election.
I am looking forward to the end of this food strike. It is getting harder and harder not to munch of food. Yesterday, I visited someone's house and saw a bowl of chocolates on the table. I almost asked for one, forgetting momentarily about the food strike.
Yesterday, I cheated a tad. I had opened the cabinet to look for the package of rice, and I saw the can of mixed nuts on the top shelf. I was soooo hungry. I opened the lid and picked out a tiny cashew and put it in my mouth.
God, a cashew never tasted so good. The flavor seemed to literally explode all over my tongue, and it lasted for at least a minute after I'd disposed of the cashew.
Now, if I open the cabinet, the nuts are still there, tempting me. So far, I've been able to resist. I keep telling myself I have a week left, and then Jackie and I will dine at Fresh Choice and treat ourselves to lots of green salad and maybe even a corn muffin!
