Watermelon

Happy 4th of July!

We had a BBQ at our house yesterday. There was so much great-looking food. It was definitely a challenge for me to stick with my own chicken and turkey only!

But then I decided to try the watermelon. It looked so juicy! There is obviously no wheat, gluten or anything I'm not supposed to have in it. I still got worried, since I haven't "ventured out" in 2 weeks (YES, today is the 2-week mark)!

So I ate some. And then some more. And even some for breakfast today! No, not some - like 3 cups! Good news....no bloat! I'm in the "clear" to have me some low-cal, high-water concentration, watermelon!


Now that I have hit the 2-week mark, here is my comprehensive '"Definitely "Okay"" Food List: 

• Turkey
• Chicken
• Beef
• Fresh lemon juice
• Fresh lime juice
• Fresh orange juice
• Coconut Milk
• Coconut Butter
• Cayenne
• Avocado
• GF Flax (grounded)
• Watermelon
• Banana
• Olive Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Garlic + Sea Salt + Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Cinnamon
• Honey
• (weakened) Coffee
• (small amounts) Soy Milk
• Red Wine
• Vodka
• 100% Raw, Pecan with Cashew Nut Butter

And here is my (very) "Questionable" Food List: 

• 100% Durum Whole Wheat Pasta (reaction on 7.1.2010)
  

I'm looking forward to even more "Definitely - Okay" Discoveries!

For today, in honor of the 4th, I leave you with....
