Tomorrow is Flat Belly Diet, Day 1. I have all of my groceries except two things: mint and unsweetened corn flakes. I do not have mint because all of the available mint at the store was gross looking. I do not have the corn flakes because I don't think unsweetened corn flakes exist. I checked three stores and nobody had it; not even in the fancy-organic aisle at the fancy grocery store.
I am substituting unsweetened "puffed rice" cereal for the corn flakes. I am supposed to eat the puffed rice for breakfast on Day 3, I think, might be Day 2, so I am hoping it is an acceptable substitute and won't throw off the entire four day "anit-bloat jumpstart" during which I can lose "up to 7 pounds!" Happily, unsweetened puffed-rice cereal is only available in Ingles brand so it was super cheap. The mint is supposed to go in my "Sassy Water" but I suppose I can make it without the mint and add the mint after I get to the store tomorrow.
My "last meal" before the diet was de-freakin-licious. It was risotto, asparagus, and steak au poivre, a brownie topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert, and a bottle of red wine. Mmmm mmm mmm. My favorite meal, hands down. Well, that and my brother-in-law's lasagna. The best part about it? It was made in my kitchen and eaten on my porch with my wonderful husband (who made it) and my fabulous parents.
Time to go make my "sassy water."
