Day 17 & 18 - Funny Dream

I missed the Day 17 post due to a really busy day so I'm combining the two days together.  You didn't miss much in terms of meals on Day 17 because they were all meals I've been having before.  I had to attend the final night of presentations for my MBA program last night and then come home and get ready for the garage sale we had this morning.  Completely forgot about my post :-(    Several people had mentioned to me that they have weird/crazy dreams while doing the Reset for whatever reason.  Up until now, I haven't had any weird ones to make note of until Thursday night.  I dreamt that I was out with several people and my sister had gotten some pecan pancakes (my favorite).  I ended up asking her for just a bite and she said 'no, it'll ruin your Reset'.  My response was 'it'll be ok, it won't hurt anything' to which I ate the entire plate of pecan pancakes plus her eggs, sausage, and bacon!  I woke up startled thinking 'oh my gosh what did I do' and then realized I was dreaming.  Shaking my head about how dumb I felt at that moment, I went back to sleep.  Not necessarily a crazy dream, but it made me laugh when I actually woke up on Friday morning.

For breakfast yesterday and today I had fruit again.  Cantaloupe and a pear yesterday and just cantaloupe today. 
Lunch yesterday was a salad, but I wished I had a little extra because it wasn't quite enough.  I wasn't starving, but I felt like I could have eaten a little more.  Today I knew we were going to be doing the garage sale and then working in the yard so I had a side of veggies with my salad.  Very good today!
Yesterday I had to alter my meals again due to the presentations so I had veggie stir-fry for a late snack/early dinner.  Today I snacked on some almonds while we were out in the yard. 

Dinner tonight was Roasted Fennel Bulb with a side of veggies.  I tried the fennel bulb and I will NOT be having that again....ever!  Not my cup of tea.  Some people LOVE it....I am NOT one of those people.  For those who haven't ever had fennel bulb, when you cut into it the smell reminds of you black licorice (which I'm not a fan of).  I tried to keep an open mind after it was cooked, but nope just couldn't finish off the portion of it.  I added the rest of the veggies I had made instead.
As you can imagine, without having protein in a while my craving is without a doubt chicken and fish.  That craving, along with the milk one, have pretty much been a staple since about Tuesday or Wednesday.   I look at it this way....at least I'm craving those things instead of pizza, cookies, or ice cream!  Almost done....3 days to go!
