I live on Earl Grey Tea with soy milk (no sugar and none in the milk either). I use real leaf tea and have a proper teapot and do the whole warm the pot ritual. I think I find that the hardest thing about MWL. I drink so much tea and I hate having it black. I do have it very weak though, just a sprinkle (maybe 1/4 teasp) leaves in the pot.
I have a heart condition and I'm a light-weight (one cup of tea wires me) so I have always tried to stick with just my one pot in the morning, and then an iced tea if I'm out to eat or something. I make a proper pot in the morning, warm the pot, etc., but it's a good strong pot. I did go research to see if Dr. McDougall forbids caffeine, and he doesn't, but of course, there are drawbacks to it. I don't do coffee or chocolate or any other caffeine-containing foods (except, I guess, my migraine meds, but when I'm eating well, I have fewer migraines, so there's that).
Told my husband yesterday was a bump in the road, not me quitting. He was kind of hoping that me falling off the wagon meant we would have pastry for breakfast. We're having oatmeal.
Today's food- tea with soymilk and sugar
- baked oatmeal with dried mango and pecans
- salmas
- Ezekiel toast with jam
- 1 piece of candy
- baked potato with just salt and pepper. Almost put butter on it. Decided to stop trying to add fat to perfectly good food. I like the taste of potatoes; it doesn't need butter.
Body stuffMy stomach was NOT happy with the stuff I ate yesterday when I woke up, but otherwise, I feel pretty good. Yesterday I also did a lot of physical work at my volunteer job and usually that would make me all achy the next day, but not so much, just my hands are a bit sorer than usual.
