J Day 21 (Part 2): Celebration!!!

J Day 21

In honor of the milestone day my family and I celebrated with...food. I know how can this be a fast from food if your gonna eat.  Well, that's what having an exit strategy and moderation after the fast is all about.  Tonight we tried the salad dressing and taco recipe that i have had in my head for over a month now.  I am full. And i am apatitically (there's one for ol' Hubbard) satisfied.  Here is what we had...

Salad: Spinach, romaine, tomato, fresh shredded carrot (do it yourself don buy already shredded) and cucumber
Dressing: 2 cloves of garlic (crushed), 4 oz red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons good quality extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons mustard (Dijon tonight), salt and pepper to taste and hot sauce to taste

The dressing will be slightly broken and runny. Dress your salad in a large bowl before getting individual servings, this will just coat the leaves and lower the caloric value.  The garlic, mustard and hot sauce make big flavors for the blandish greens.

And for the main coarse...

Turkey tacos: 93% lean Turkey, black beans, no fat cottage cheese, tomatoes, lime, hot sauce, herbs and spices all rapped in a romaine leaf.

I am happy to say i could not finish this plate. I will be back full strength tomorrow on the fast but it was a good celebration...39 days to go, I CAN"T WAIT!!!

Thanks for the love.

Peace
