I just got to work. It is presently 7:50 PM CDT. I have a feeling in my tummy that may be hunger, but I'm not sure. I tried the new oil my husband bought from Walmart last night. It says Bertolli Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil on the label, but it's in the green bottle, and it tastes very much of olives. I think it was mislabeled. I mainly think it was mislabeled because of the ordeal my husband had in simply trying to purchase it.
He went into the store on a mission: find a large bottle of any brand of extra light-tasting olive oil (ELOO). He found a bottle -- a big, 51 oz bottle. He took it to the counter. It rang up as Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), and not what I need.
Apparently this was accidentally shipped with the EVOO, and it shouldn't have even been available. They don't stick the Bertolli ELOO at all.
The label said it was ELOO. The EVOO price was $19, but he got a discount becuse it wasn't even supposed to be a thing, so this ended up being only $10. Great deal!
However, it definitely has a very strong flavor. I think it was mislabeled. And now that I have seen pictures of the bottles online, the bottle I have is definitely the dark green of EVOO and not the clear of ELOO. I am almost certain that what I have at home is EVOO and not ELOO. (How many times can I use EVOO/ELOO in a paragraph/sentence?)
*sigh*
I can use this, but I will have to nose-clip to do so. I'm not looking forward to 100 doses nose-clipped.
I weighed myself prior to leaving home to go to work tonight. It was around 6:56 PM.
The result:
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 407.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs
It's 10:16 PM, and my stomach is growling. This is definitely hunger. I don't feel compelled to sate this hunger, but I do have a lunch in my back. I really would like to eat nothing, but that is very unhealthy. I'll eat a bit of my sandwich. Maybe that will be enough for now.
It's now 1.5 hours later -- 11:41 PM CDT. The growling is gone. I've been nursing a can of Monster Energy Zero Ultra all this time. Maybe that's helping. I'm definitely not seeking out my sandwich at all. I probably should just to make sure I'm getting proper nutrition and all that.
I purchased the Kindle version of Seth Roberts book The Shangri-La Diet last night and started reading it. It's pretty much covering what I was able to find online already, but it does have some insights into the diet that I didn't already know. I think it was well worth the $7.99 I paid. I don't regret the purchase at all. I was hoping to find a definitive guide or plan, but I am more confident now that I'm doing this properly.
1:36 AM CDT. A couple more hours have passed, and I still haven't remembered to eat my sandwich. I just took it out of my lunch bag. I really am not feeling deprived at all, and this is such a strange sensation. I just keep forgetting to eat. I've just taken a bite of sandwich. It's a good sandwich. I make chicken salad from the H-E-B Seasoned Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast -- Cilantro Lime flavor. I dice some carrots and celery and add mayonnaise to it. I also toss in a bit of grated Mexican Blend cheese. I make 10 sandwiches ahead of time using Sourdough Bread, and this is what my husband and I take to work with us for our lunches.
This only takes about 12 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot pressure cooker. It comes out juicy and tender and perfect! The pressure cooker is the best investment I ever made. It was $99 from Amazon. I will never not use a pressure cooker to cook all of my meats! I also use it to cook pork ribs and chicken thighs. The pork ribs -- about 2 to 2.5 lbs -- take 35 minutes on the "meat" setting. I usually rub them with Season All, garlic powder, and brown sugar, and then douse them with some soy sauce. Put about a half cup of water in the pot, put the pork (or other meat) in, and let 'er go!
