Here we go again at THINKmcfly! Interesting things to report today. Everything is going really well still, I’m getting out of the mindset of some of the monotony of the experiment and have a much more optimistic outlook. Don’t get me wrong though, I can wait to get a plate of veggies in me when all this is over!
What I’d like to speak of today is how many comments I’m getting about my weight. I keep running into people and they keep making comments about how I look slimmer and how they’ve noticed a change. It’s only adding to my own feelings which are good as well. I still feel slimmer. In our basketball league I feel like I’m in better shape (which is obviously also due to being as active) but I feel like I have a little more spring and I can jump a bit higher as well.
I made up the brown rice and all went to plan. It made an enourmous bowl, the bowl I had to use is bigger than the bowl I contained the spaghetti in. I think I’m going to stick with that one can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, which is a little thin but it’s working out. The overall taste is semi-bland but a great mix up from the daily routines.
I don’t get it but I am continuously ruining pancakes. I’m not sure if its that its a stainless steel pan and I’m using not enough butter or something, sometimes I even use quite a bit of butter and it’s still turning out the same. The underside isn’t really cooking like I’d like it. It says flip the pancake after the bubbles break which I’m doing and it’s just not working out. I’ll have to try another pan. I have a iron-cast skillet that I need to cure before I use it, and I hear it’s unbelievably better for pancakes.
I feel good and am still going strong. My appetite is still low. The amount of water I’ve consumed is lower but I’m doing alright, trying to make a conscious effort these last few weeks to increase that back to more of what it was at the beginning of the experiment.
I’m still looking into what I want to do next month or after a short break from this. I almost think merely allowing $3 a day would allow much more room for a bit more variety and more fruits/vegetables and I think I’m going to toy with that idea a bit yet. Let me know if anyone has something they’d like me to try!
