Wednesday-sun! finally!

OMG, thank God the rain has finally stopped! It was ridiculous! There is so much flooding around here it is nuts!
I have been doing quite well on the diet...except last night I broke down and had 3 teaspoons of coffee ice cream! ack!
I haven't had dairy or anything since starting Ideal Protein and my sweetheart bought my fave ice cream. I figured a small amount like that would not be terrible and really, it was so delish! I am not sure if that much will really mess me up or not.
It's very different doing a diet where you have to be in ketosis than doing something like Weight Watchers where you can have a little cheat now and again so you feel like you aren't depriving yourself. Although my stomach was very rumbly after that-I think it was saying "what the heck is that and what am I supposed to do with it?!? Mmmm, I think I will mull it over awhile so you feel icky, so there!"
This will be a difficult week as it is because of Easter(so I know I should not have had that last night because there will a lot of temptation on the weekend!) We are having 2 Easter dinners because we are visiting my family up in Vermont and will be driving there Friday and driving back Sunday so we're doing Easter dinner on Saturday with my family. Then when we get back Sunday, we are going over a friend's house to have Easter with her family.
When you see all the delicious holiday food it is hard to always make the right decisions. I am bringing a vegetable dish to my family being I know people are making veggies I can't have. If I stick to ham and non-restricted vegetables I will be ok. The hard parts will be saying no to wine, bread and dessert....because these are a few of my favorite things! Bread being my #1!
I grew up in an Italian restaurant and there was always good crusty bread and good crusty bread made into garlic bread, as well. I can say no to cake and cookies but bread is a tough one!
I have been feeling much better the last few days now that I am measuring out my half teaspoon of sea salt every morning. Way less dizziness! My first mistake was not measuring out the salt before, my second mistake was thinking it was only 1/4 teaspoon I was supposed to have because I forgot the correct amount and hadn't read the information in awhile. Mistake #3 was thinking a sprinkle on lunch and a sprinkle on dinner was enough!
I don't use nearly enough so the last couple of days, after dinner, I take what sea salt is left and add it to a cup of cold water and drink it. It's kinda yucky but less headache and less dizziness is way more important than getting through a small amount of yuckiness!
Ok, I just went outside and I think those bastards lied about any sun shining today! Damn!
