Day 2 of Battle of the Chemo Bulge

My human alarm clock woke me up this morning from a dream where I was eating a seven layer raisin cake with white frosting. How bizarre is that? Or was it perhaps my sugar deprivation?

Not an ounce shifted from my chemo bloated body this morning but I was not concerned one bit. I made myself some scrambled eggs and had two pieces of toast. I skipped my mid-morning snack because I had to have an early lunch in order to teach a class at noon. Lunch was a cup and a half of steamed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots) and one baked chicken tenderloin; a gala apple and a piece of cheddar cheese. Mid-afternoon snack was an Adkins protein bar.

Dinner was 1/2 a chicken breast baked with white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried tarragon, basil and minced garlic; served with steamed carrots tossed with Penzy's Old World seasoning. Feeling righteous ...

Ended the evening with 20 minutes of weights.
