Sooo much better than the last time.

I can't believe how much easier this round is. Good for me, but also good for my family. I've been back to cooking again for them since I don't seem to feel hungry at all and love the smell of food. It's a good way to keep my mind off my stomach. I cook theirs when I'm cooking mine, so I feel calm knowing that I'll be eating soon as well.
I'm also so much less cranky too, unless it's shot time. The last time I did the diet, the shots never hurt but left bruises on my arms and legs almost every time. And those little bruises itched pretty bad too. This time was a breeze. No pain AND no bruises. Well yesterday, when Matt was kind enough to do the duty for me, he must've hit a nerve in my arm or something because when he poked in, it hurt like a mother... Then he plunged, even though I'm screaming, and that STUNG! I've had a baby naturally, and I've had a dry socket, among other huge painful experiences, and I'd like to think I can deal pretty well with a little sting, but I actually cried this time. What are the chances of hitting a nerve? Probably one in a million. Interesting though, Matt was a real crabby ass at that time and we were a little edgy with each other. Maybe he did it on purpose. ;)
I made the best chili for lunch today with buffalo and my veggie being tomatoes. I added some fresh garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt. And I really let it simmer for a while. A couple of days ago, I added fresh chopped basil to my tomatoes with a fresh garlic and balsamic vinegar dressing. That was wonderful as well.
I've also had a few flops. I love grilled onions topped on meats or pizza or anything appropriate. So I thought I would choose onion for my veggie and grill it in the George Forman grill. Then I added some curry to a can of tuna and mixed it all together. When I'm eating normally, I love curried tuna wrapped in lettuce. But this was the most vile, disgusting thing I've ever eatin". And the taste stuck with me for a while as well. I'm sure that you all knew it would be nasty before I told you, but I guess I had to learn my lesson. But as sad as I am to admit this, I actually gave the onions another go the next day. Yes, that is how stubborn I am. This time I cooked them in a pan with some garlic and paired it with a lemon garlic tilapia. You'd have to admit that it sounds a LITTLE better, right? WRONG. It was equally as bad. Maybe by the time I do this diet for the 5th time, I'll actually have a clue.
I'll post total weight lost in a few days.
