1) I've had weird dreams the past 2 nights about cheating on the diet. The first night I had a dream that I was at a Relay For Life convention and they were handing out candy to everyone. I had several pieces before I remembered that I was on the diet, and then I felt bad :(
The second night I had a dream that I was over at a friend's house and someone made spaghetti. I had a full plate of it and, again, remembered that I shouldn't have eaten it...whoops! The funny part is that I've had no actual cravings since I started the diet last Sunday and I haven't even been tempted to cheat...go figure!
2) The second thing that I've noticed is that my dog, Milo, has already gotten used to my new morning ritual of cooking my breakfast and then sitting down at the dining room table to eat it. I give him his breakfast as soon as I wake up, but he won't touch it until I actually sit down at the table and start eating...how cute is that?
On another note, I tried something new for dinner last night! I marinated and grilled chicken thighs (in the dark when it was about 30 degrees outside) and they were delicious...I'm even eating some of the leftovers for lunch today. See picture below. I've also attached the recipe in case anyone wants to try it. I didn't use any ancho chili peppers (because I didn't have them) and I substituted chicken stock for beer, but it was still successful and it was some of the juiciest chicken I've ever made!
