Weight: 218.4
I droped 2.2lbs yesterday, giving credence to the supposition that my weight gain was primarily water weight. I didn't make it to the sauna last night. We had a winter-weather system move through and dumped some snow. While it was only 2-4 inches, people in St. Louis don't know how to drive on the white-stuff. I am not afraid of snow. I am afraid of St. Louis drivers on snow. :)
Last night I had a big lunch and a big dinner.
HuHot for lunch--which included two bowls of stir fry and some brown rice. I made one bowl of salmon, onions and egg and another bowl of chicken, onions, green peppers, bamboo shoots, cabbage, carrots and egg.
For my evening meal, I made a small soup (from my way of thinking, it should serve three meals at least) with broccoli and brussel sprouts, onions, some carrots and a can of rotel diced tomatoes and chilis. I added 4 chicken breasts sauteed in onions, spices, olive oil and coconut oil. After they were mostly cooked, I diced them up in the pan and let the fibrous interior of the chicken absorb the oil and spices. I also cooked them in an iron skillet to add iron to my diet. About 3 of the 4 chicken breasts were added to the soup, along with most of the juice remains. (I did add about 6 ounces of water when the juices cooking the chicken breasts got low.)
While the soup was cooking, I also scrambled up six eggs with onions and about half a tomato. I poured the remaining diced chicken breasts and juice into the scrambled eggs (also cooked in the same pan as the chicken had been cooked in--reusing oils, spices and adding iron to my diet.
It was a *lot* of food. I was quite full after a my eggs and a bowl of soup. Although I did eat three oranges--I was looking primarily for the juices as the salt content was higher than I'm accustomed to at this point.
Our office had a monthly acknowledgement of birthdays (we do it every month for everyone who has a birthday that month). There was cake--but also a lot of fruit. I had a banana, an orange, some grapes and an apple. I was quite full when I'd eaten all of it. Very happy that my office provided fruit as well as cake. :)
We still have a guest in the office, so I'll probably eat lunch out. For dinner tonight, I have my leftover soup. Produce is light today because the snowstorm interrupted our produce delivery.
I'm going to try to sauna tonight when I get home from work.
