Today is Day 9 on the plan. Everything has been going so well, it was bound to mean that something had to go wrong. So I had an accident this morning while I was prepping dinner.
And I didn't think you wanted a picture of my hand, so here is the butter coffee I reference below...
I was slicing sweet potatoes to make sweet potato chips for dinner using my mandolin. I went to a thicker slice level to try to make some sweet potato toast, and after a few swipes, ended up slicing off a good chunk of my hand/wrist. Fun. Nothing like an unexpected ER visit! Nothing to stitch, but bandaged up for a few days {{sigh}}... I promptly threw away the mandolin and am going to look for something else to slice my veggies! I have a food processor, but it doesn't have a "feeder" function for slicing.
Here are my last two days, and then what I've had so far today (and what is planned).
- Coffee sweetened with Medjool Dates and Almond/Coconut creamer
- Meal 1 = Banana, Fried Egg & 1/2 a sliced Avocado
- Meal 2 = Lunch at The Daily: Shared a Crabstack (crabmeat on top of tomato and avocado) and a Mahi BLT (no roll or mayo)
- Meal 3 = Salad with grilled chicken and blueberries
- Snack = Kombucha and Chocolate Sea Salt RxBar (W30 compliant)
Day 8:
- Meal 1 = Banana and an Apple Pie Lara bar. I started the morning off with "Butter" Coffee (Coffee sweetened with Medjool Dates, Almond Creamer and a tsp. of Ghee) - DELICIOUS! Really thick, and seemed to give me a nice energy boost. A lot of calories but a nice treat now and then. (Note: the link isn't the exact recipe I follow but it is a close one. I used Ghee instead of butter, no sweetener but did add Dates and blended them in, and no coconut oil or vanilla extract. I may try the extract tomorrow).
- Meal 2 = Eggs and Bacon
- Meal 3 = Grilled Chicken and Crash Hot Potatoes
No snacks on Sunday - I was REALLY content with what I had over the day, so I definitely count that as a win!!!
Day 9:
- Meal 1 = Butter coffee, banana and a piece of bacon and Kombucha
- Meal 2 = Scrambled Eggs with diced chicken, spinach and salsa. Slice of Bacon and cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
- Meal 3 (FUTURE) = ** Planned for Pulled Pork, Sweet Potato chips and salad

You are doing so well. Hope you are starting to get your energy back. Sorry about the mandolin accident. I'm quite afraid of mine and rarely use it.
I love my mandolin, but I have lost many slivers of knuckle and finger tip over the years. They are not friendly!!! I found a solution though, and bought a silicone mit to use and haven’t had any slicing mishaps since.
