Fat Flush – Take 1

After debating it back and forth in my head, I decided to start the Fat Flush Plan today.  Ali thought it would be better to start after Thanksgiving but since I don’t eat turkey or pie I figured it didn’t really matter.  Might as well get it out-of-the-way, right?  I am not a person who procrastinates by any means.  Actually I can’t stand it when something is hanging over my head.  

So this morning I started the day off with a smoothie – flaxseed oil, blueberries, protein powder, and water.  Sounds decent right?  It wasn’t. I think the flaxseed oil just gives it a weird taste.  But I drank it anyway.  It was surprisingly filling, but not in a good way. 

So on to lunch, I had a 2 egg omelette, zucchini, a tomato and you guessed it, more flaxseed!  The omelette was quite good and the flax tastes much better in a savory form. But I was still hungry afterwards. I went to Ali for support and he said, “Remember how you said you’d do anything to make your stomach stop hurting?” He’s right.  I so needed to hear that.

I decided to go out and stay busy…did a couple of errands and then took Maya to the park.

As the culprit of all my health problems played in the sandbox with her friends, I studied all the park moms and wondered if any of them had ever done the Fat Flush.  Not likely.  I then caught up with the park gossip and after an hour and fifteen minutes pried Maya away from her new BFF.

We are headed over to out neighbor’s for dinner in a bit.  Initially I was anxious about what I was going to eat because I wasn’t sure it would be okayed by the plan but I figured I needed to roll with things.  I’m not usually a person who rolls with things but I am going to give it a try.  (Just so you know, I don’t forsee this whole rolling thing going well but I am still going to give it a try).
