South Beach Diet – Day 5

It’s a Saturday. Sorry, guys, but I forgot to weigh today. I woke up at 2:45 am in the morning since I was an organizer for our Company’s run. I was already supposed to be at Ultra in a few minutes. I woke up and I was still groggy, so I forgot to do my usual routine.

Anyway, my morning went well. The run was super fun. I didn’t get to join, but I do plan to join next year (hopefully by then, I won’t be in this diet). I didn’t feel hungry at any time during the event. I think it was the adrenaline and the anticipation :) I also was enjoying myself, so I guess, it didn’t occur to me that my last meal was at 7:30 in the evening.

I got to go home at around 8:30am. As usual, breakfast was delicious. Check this out!

Again, it was primarily made out of egg, but today, the circular looking omelette had brocolli and cheese in it. The consistency was like souffle — it was light and fluffy. I even like that some of the part were crispy (unusual and weird!).

I was so tired that I slept again after breakfast. I woke up at 11, just before lunchtime. I got to eat lunch at 12:30 pm. Lunch was this:

The main ‘meat’ in this was shrimp. It was mixed with red bell peppers and onions. The dish had a hint of sweetness and I actually found this dish appetizing. I loved the sauce. I wanted to take in even the sauce, but it was already mixed with oil.

In the evening, I had chicken with mushrooms. The sauce was white and creamy. I don’t know though, what the ingredients our household help used for this. It tasted like well cooked chicken dipped in carbonara sauce.

Oh, by the way, in between meals, I just had the less grease peanuts by Growers. Well, we will see what that effect of this will be on Monday. Monday will be Day 7 (one week) of my South Beach Diet.
