It’s Just 21 Days

I would like this waist back!

It’s just 21 days! That’s what I keep telling myself. Really, it’s just 21 days. Here’s the thing: I have to do something! I’m an apple in terms of my figure, so when I gain weight, it goes straight to my tummy. As it is right now, I can only wear so many leggings and long tunics. I miss wearing a belt or tucking in my shirt. It’s really up to me, and if I set my mind to it, I can get back to the weight I like to maintain. It won’t be easy, BUT I can do it. Plus, it’s just 21 days. It might turn out to be more, but by then (hopefully!) it will be easy.

I’m going to go on the Bone Broth Diet. And, because I know I’m going to need help, I’m making the announcement public over here on Kremb de la Kremb. In fact, I intend to use this post as my daily journal. (Hopefully there won’t be too many swear words! Hehehe!)

Dr. Kellyann has created a dieting sensation about what she calls “liquid gold.” Basically the Bone Broth Diet is five days of eating whole, pure foods, BUT no sugar at all. If I’m honest there are only two sugars I’m scared to live without for 21 days: my red wine and dark chocolate. During the other two, nonconsecutive, days of the week, I’ll be fasting on bone broth all day. It sounds disgusting–I know! But, while doing my research I found many great benefits to bone broth, helping osteoarthritis being one of them.

My knee has been killing me. It seems right when one thing gets fixed on my bod (for example Pinky, my remarkable and lovely hip replacement), another thing breaks. Carrying extra weight definitely does not help my knee; plus the health benefits of the bone broth sound too good to be true–healthy, glowing skin being one of them. But heck, it’s just 21 days. I can try this. It will be difficult, and I guarantee I will be cranky, maybe even a b*tch! But, if I want to remain clear to my mission of feeling good in what I wear, I need to do something about my growing gut!

This is just a year ago. Notice how I was able to cinch my waist. I want to be able to do that again!

My weight is always fluctuating; I go up and down, so this isn’t anything new. There are periods of time where I’m able to create balance and maintain the weight I feel best at. Currently, I’m not in balance. The reality is that in my closet, I usually have a span of several sizes. Writing this blog and posting pictures of myself in my clothing obviously offer some incentive to maintain my happy weight. I’ll never be a small, petite woman, and that is ok with me. I do however know when things have gotten beyond my happy self: I start wearing more large shirts to cover my middle, I resort to baggy jeans, and I stop trying to create a waistline. All these strategies are a result of being an apple shape; when I gain weight, it goes straight to my middle. Luckily, my legs stay true to me, and I find ways to show them off–shorts and mini skirts with tights, dresses with leggings underneath, and skinny jeans with loose tops.

I’ve had enough however, and I’d like my balance back. It’s time to do something about my weight gain. Being a librarian, I’m always researching–something. This time around I found Dr. Kellyann’s Bone Broth Diet. It’s just 21 days, and I’m going to give it a go. I thought I’d use this spot as a place to update my daily progress. It’s going to be a tough 21 days, so coming here to vent and write it all out might offer the perfect therapy.

Hehehe! Here’s my cecil (Kevin’s term for you know what) from this summer. No shame! But I sure wouldn’t post my butt in jeans now though!! Eeek!

It’s just 21 Days!

I plan to use this spot as my journal when need be. Follow along if you dare. And please reach out if you’d like to join me. I’d love a friend or two to support me on this 21 day (possibly longer) journey….

Day 1:
Day 1 didn’t go so bad–granted it was only the first day. I have harder days ahead I know! I had a full 2 egg omelet with spinach and 1/2 an avocado for breakfast. At lunch, I had pumpkin soup. In order to satisfy the sugar craving I usually have at this time, I had about 10 blueberries. All day I drank water infused with lemon and a few black berries. For dinner, we had this leftover eggplant and onion mishap. (The helper had made the wrong appetizer recipe for my birthday, so I used it to convert it into a main dish.) I added chopped roasted chicken (pulled from the roasted chicken for my bone broth), sauteed the eggplant with the chicken and added a ton of spinach. It made for a nice warm salad. Again, that sweet tooth! I ate ten more blueberries. And brushed my teeth! During my difficult time–which is always after school–I went for a bike ride, with my new bike! Also, after the ride, when I’d love a glass of red wine before dinner, I had a cup of tea. I have really, really difficult days ahead of me, so I’m happy Day 1 wasn’t too hard. Here’s to broth all day tomorrow! EEK!

Day 2:
This very first bone broth day was not hard. Not really at all! I did have some humorous difficulties which I will share, but I can honestly say I didn’t feel hungry all day long. The bone broth is very satiating and savory. In fact, as I write this I still haven’t had my breakfast for day 3….

Here are the humorous bits: first, I didn’t realize this but you are not suppose to microwave the bone broth. It turns one of the proteins neruotoxic–whatever that means, but the word toxic is enough to tell me to figure out another way to reheat. Since I don’t have a kettle yet, I had to get creative at work: I put the broth in a jar, and then I put the jar in a coffee pot filled with hot water. I let it sit there for about 40 minutes. It finally heated up.

The second funny/disastrous thing that happened was in a Zara shop. I was downtown for a doctor’s appointment, and since I was early, I stopped into Zara. Well, a flip of my bag and all of a sudden there was bone broth everywhere leaking out of my thermos! Eeek! Not good!!

So, there are two new purchases I will be making this weekend: a new kettle to reheat my bone broth and a new thermos to carry it in. No biggie. If these were my only two glitches I’ll take it. Now on to day 3’s breakfast!

Day 3:
Amazingly, after the day before’s bone broth fast, I didn’t wake up famished. In fact I didn’t eat my 2 egg omelet with 1/2 an avo until 9:30 am. I like to try to eat a little later as it helps me once I get home and want that 4:00 pm snack. Because breakfast was late, I wasn’t hungry for lunch until 2:30. For lunch I had a huge plate filled with roasted vegetables and chopped up chicken heated up on some romaine and arugula. I seasoned with salt and pepper flakes plus olive oil and red wine vinegar. It ended up that I couldn’t eat the entire plate.

I was worried about my Friday night ritual which consists of blogging with a glass of wine. Later on I usually have another glass of wine with a big bowl of popcorn while I watch tv. To battle that habit, I replaced the wine with tea. It worked–for last night anyway. Amazingly–I think it’s because my lunch was both late enough and big enough–I wasn’t that hungry for dinner, so I had an avocado with sea salt and a small apple. That was it. I have to say, the sweetness of the apple was amazing! It did taste like candy!! So, that was Day 3. Done, and not too bad–even without the usual bowl of popcorn and vino!

Here’s to bone broth all day tomorrow….

Day 4:
Today was another bone broth day. Again, I waited as long as I could before having it, which was about noon. That way I was able to have another one around 3:00 pm. It seems I still have more to get used to! My cooking method failed: I put the mug in a simmering pot of hot water. And, of course the bottom fell out of the mug when I went to grab it out of the pot of hot water. Oh well. Luckily I had made back up. Although, my backup wasn’t as good…hmmm. There’s something to get right about the recipe! Anyway, I made do with my not-as-good broth. I had some more around 7:00pm. Then I brushed my teeth promptly after. I was still feeling something–probably wasn’t necessarily hunger, but I had one more helping of broth around 8:30. I think it’s ok to have 2 cups over of the allotted 6 cups in a day. I’m not going to sweat it. I could have difficulties watching the family eat Cali Mex burritos but I just avoided the thoughts. Not really sure how I did that! Back to whole foods tomorrow….

Day 5:
I felt good yesterday after the bone broth fast the day before. I had an amazing sleep; I woke up at 9:30 am! I never sleep that late!! I had an excellent brunch around noon: scrambled eggs with sliced cherry tomatoes and sliced breakfast sausage (nitrate free!) mixed in. Yum. It was very good. Then, to crave my sweet tooth, I had two handfuls of blueberries. It was a chilly day, so I drank all sorts of different teas all day long. Around 4 or so, I was hungry for a snack, so ate some macadamia nuts–perhaps too many. Also, before dinner (we always eat way too late–drives me crazy!), I ate a very small apple. Dinner was delish however and worth the wait: salmon on the barbie and roasted cauliflower. Again, to crave my sweet tooth, I had a handful of blackberries. There is one thing that I need to inquire about–how much fruit am I able to have? Perhaps I ate too much, but oh, berries and apples taste like candy after not having any sugar for five days!

Day 6:
Today I was determined to not eat so much fruit! It is a sugar, and the point of these 21 days is to try to eliminate sugar. Plus, I really want to get into ketosis. For breakfast I had a two egg omelet with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and half an avocado. For lunch, I took last night’s salmon and placed it atop some chopped romaine. I added some diced cucumber, fresh dill, and some capers. (My capers spilled all over my bag! Ewww. I seem to be having lots of spills lately!) I added a little red wine vinegar and olive oil and enjoyed this salad. I finished with a handful of blackberries. (I planned for that to be my only fruit for the day.) The big event for this sixth day was heading to a restaurant for dinner. I admit: I was a little nervous about this. The plan was to go to La Vache–the menu is only a delicious fresh salad with walnuts, tender steak, and the most amazing french fries ever! Obviously I’d have to say no to the fries. Could I do it? Well, I didn’t have to find out; the restaurant was closed. Instead I headed with my friend to Posto Pubblico–a restaurant known for their exquisite homemade cheeses. Eeek! No dairy is allowed on the Bone Broth Diet either. But, have no worry, I became very Sally (from When Harry Meets Sally) and was very explicit about what I could eat and what I couldn’t. In the end the chef made me a very delicious chicken saltimbocca and a beet salad without the cheese. Yum! And, I was very proud that even though I wanted a dessert and was craving a piece of chocolate once I got home, I instead promptly brushed my teeth and got in bed! I made it through the day with just a handful of blackberries AND I dined out successfully. I’m feeling good!

Day 7:
This is going to sound kind of weird, but I actually look forward to the bone broth days. I find it amazing that the bone broth is soothing and comforting. I don’t miss eating on these days. If I feel like eating, I just heat up some bone broth and drink it, and then I’m satiated. It tastes really good–especially when my helper makes it. Yes, I am very spoiled over here in Hong Kong. (Actually I have been very spoiled my whole married life since we’ve always lived overseas, and having household help is quite the norm in other countries other than the US.) My batch that I made for Saturday, Day 3, was AWFUL, so I was actually looking forward to this day’s bone broth. Yummm!

The other completely, utterly amazing moment was dinner. While my family ate pizza (good pizza!), I was completely unfazed. This shocked me! Totally.

Another great thing on bone broth days is I never have that dessert craving. With normal meals, I love having a sweet finish. This is definitely habitual, but it’s the honest to god truth. And of course, I still kind of miss my glass of vino, but that too is getting easier. Instead, I’m creating a palette for all sorts of teas.

With my day by day sharings, are you tempted to try this 21 day bone broth experiment!

Oh, I almost forgot. I have been having another temptation that I WILL have the will power to suspend. I want to get on the scale, but I know that will only discourage me, so I am waiting until March 15th, my 22nd day. Wish me luck!

Day 8:
Hey! I’ve done this for over a week!! I have to say I am very proud of myself. I haven’t stepped on the scale, but here’s evidence that I must feel better: last night around the house I wore leggings, comfortably. I have felt self conscious in leggings even around my family, so that felt nice to feel comfortable in a simple pair of cozy leggings (still only to be worn in the house, right Norbyah!).

A shift has started to happen with food for me. It’s just that: food. It’s used to nourish–not support feelings. To that end I ate my breakfast, a two egg omelet with arugula and 1/2 an avo. I was so busy that I wasn’t able to eat lunch until a squeeze between two meetings from 3:10-3:30! I poured a can of tuna over romaine, with a cucumber and capers. Sound familiar! There are some habitual meals happening! Dinner was a delicious palm size steak from the grill and arugula salad with cherry tomatoes and pine nuts. And! The best part of dinner was the sweet potato fries–oooh, it was like having junk food again, but they were healthy. Plus, they were so yummmmm! The accomplishment was berries only after lunch. My sugar cravings are decreasing, and this is a good thing!

Tomorrow is my favorite sort of day, a bone broth day. Yes, I’m becoming odd!

Day 9:
Today was a bone broth day. Like I’ve said before, I love these days. In fact, I’ve even asked Dr. Kellyann if I could maybe add a day of bone broth. I think it would be fine, but I asked her to be sure. Are you amazed that I’m communicating with the founder of this diet? Don’t be. She started a Facebook group and is a very active participant. I LOVE this Facebook group. They are so supportive, and all their anecdotal stories are surefire to help one continue on. So far, this “diet” has been a breeze!

In fact yesterday I hosted a book club. Yes, that means all sorts of goodies including cheeses, and nuts, wine and chocolate, even crackers. Well, guess what?! I made it through. Easily! I didn’t even think to eat anything! Oh, I take that back. I purchased sea salt and vinegar coconut chips that made me curious, but I knew I could try them tomorrow, so I didn’t fret. So far I’ve made it through a dinner out with a friend and a book club without a sip of wine–that also is a feat! A

Day 10:
Day 10 was my first difficult day where I had a few cravings. What was interesting was Dr. Kellyann tells about having carbohydrate dreams around this time in the Bone Broth Diet. And what do you know….last night (I’m writing on Day 11 for Day 10) I had a dream that I ruined all my progress by eating Skittles. What!? I don’t even really care for Skittles! If I were going to ruin my ten days, I’d at least choose dark covered sea salt chocolates from Trader Joes! I did snack throughout the day more than I have in the last ten days. When I did snack I did make sure it was not going to ruin my progress: almonds, those sea salt, vinegar coconut chips, and an avocado. My meals were healthy: three egg omelet for breakfast, diced chicken with pumpkin seeds over romaine for lunch, and garlic chicken with broccoli for dinner. I managed the cravings, but then I had skittles for dessert–in my dreams. Hahaha!

Day 11:
I asked Dr. Kellyann (I’ve told about how amazing the Facebook group is right?) if I could add in one more bone broth fast day, and she said I could just as long at I added in the 7:00 snack. This day was easy–even heading into town. I just carried a thermos full of the “liquid gold” with me, and half way through Ikea, I poured myself a glass. When we got home I ate an avocado and with some diced chicken. I honestly could have had more bone broth, but I followed the doctor’s directions. I would have never guessed how easy these days are.

Day 12:
What an intense day! I’ve been gearing up for the Rug Lane Market for a while now, and Sunday was the day. Gigi made me one of her egg white omelet’s that she’s famous for. Then, during the market, I had an almond packet. But, I was so busy I never had a chance to eat the meal I had packed for the day.

Once home, I was exhausted. I ate the dehydrated broccoli snack Gig had bought for me. Then I headed to our local burger joint for take away. But don’t worry, I ordered the patty meal: basically the burger with out the bun with a bunch of mixed lettuce. Yum, it was good. What was even better was the junk food splurge on sweet potato fries. I’m sure they are not as healthy as the recipe from Dr. Kellyann, but oh, they were such a treat! The TV dinner was completed with two episodes of Suits! Awwwww!

Day 13:
Ok, I’ve neglected my updates! Oops. I’ve started this week at work that is all consuming. The students at this time of year all go on a week away. In fact my son is currently in Japan trekking around the snowy mountains, even sleeping in them. I wonder how he could be mine as I would never do this, but I am proud of him all the same. I’m here in Hong Kong hosting five children around Hong Kong introducing them to entrepreneurs and demonstrating all forms of innovation. Starting Wednesday they will be interns for the 21st Century Learning Teacher Conference. A change in routine has definitely rattled me.

The first obstacle of this day was not weighing myself. I was so tempted, but I stopped myself because I want March 15 to be a day without discouragement and only pride. I found out later, that I wouldn’t have been able to weigh myself anyway because Kevin has hidden the scale. Way to go KevStar!!

On this Monday, I set out with a two egg omelet and mashed 1/2 avocado. For lunch it was an interesting dining experience: I am finding when you tell the waiter that you are restricted by what you can eat, you actually receive a very intentionally prepared meal. I might do this forever! I ordered the kamachi (have no idea what kind of raw fish it was!?) carpacio salad–all safe with fennel and burnt oranges and very delicious. I also ordered the roasted salmon that they really had to cater sine it came with potatoes. Mmmm, instead they gave me this delicious cauliflower concoction with a ton of very fresh herbs. It was so good. I’d go back for that exact same order. (For those of you in HK, the restaurant was Aberdeen Street Social.)

Dinner was absolutely comical! We are lucky to have a lady who comes in each day to help us clean our house and help with meals. I set aside this pecan crusted chicken recipe, but instead of using bread crumbs, I thought, “Hey, use almond powder.” Well, when we sat down to eat, Gigi nearly spit her mouth! Kevin’s mouth scrunched up, and well, I just said, “Hmmm, this is interesting.” That’s when I remembered what the odd taste was–almond. Needless to say, my adaptation did not work. But luckily the arugula, cherry tomato and pine nut salad was tasty. Immediately I brushed my teeth and that means I was done for the day.

Day 14:
This was my hardest day yet. Everything was going just fine: bone broth in the morning, at the pizza restaurant where we met the kids, in the afternoon, and even on the taxi home. I was fine and satisfied by my bone broth. But then, I got home, and I was absolutely EXHAUSTED! And when I got home I wanted to eat the HOUSE. Kevin was gone, but luckily he gave me a call and talked me off the ledge. This is what he recommended: abort the bone broth day, but don’t abandon all that I’d done. So that’s what I did. I probably seriously overdosed on nuts but oh well. And then for dinner I had a cup of bolognese sauce on arugula. Folks, that is seriously yum. Forget noodles. When you use a vegetable you taste the sauce so much more.

Now, here’s the really awful, weird, and TMI (too much information) part. So stop if you don’t want to get grossed out. I need to ask Dr. Kellyann what happened, but the switch from bone brothing all day to then eating gave me the craziest diarrhoea. I am not sure what happened, but it was not good. I had heard of other people commenting on this in the Facebook group and just felt lucky that it wasn’t happening to me. But boom, Day 14, and I know exactly what they were talking about. It was crazy!

Day 15:
I’ve been so busy running this week with kids from the high school where I work, that I haven’t had a chance to update these past few days. Whew! I miss my library!! Wednsday we started the educational conference at a hotel. My mornings have been so early all week; I brought my omelet with me in a baggie and ate it cold. For dinner, we were offered the hotel buffet lunch. I ate a very large salad with mixed lettuce leaves and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I also loaded up with some sweet potatoes with walnuts and some delicious marinated mushroom mixture. One thing I’ve noticed is that my snacking has seriously been dwindling. I haven’t been snacking! This is good. For dinner, we had a big mixed salad and barbecue sausages (nitrate free–don’t worry). One other thing I’ve started doing is drinking mint tea. It’s so yummy! And is definitely becoming a habit for me to drink this refreshing tea.

Day 16:
This was a broth day. And I started out with a much better attitude. I hadn’t made it through Tuesday’s fast day, so I was determined to make it through this one. This was my plan: once I arrived home, I made a nice hot bath, a cup of mint tea, and I soaked for a bit. It was the perfect way to decondense from the day. I made it through this fasting day with much better ease!

Day 17:
On Friday, I left the house the earliest I have in years: 6:30 am! I wasn’t ready for breakfast until much later, and it was the usual, a two egg omelet with half an avocado. For lunch I ate some of the roasted chicken leftover from bone broth with a couple of cherry tomatoes and baby carrots. I had a small handful of blueberries, and that was it! I was looking forward to going out to dinner with Kevin….

For dinner, at a Szechuan restaurant, we ordered chili chicken–oh! It just might be the best I’ve had in the city. I was a little afraid they used flour or cornstarch to bread the chicken, but if that’s my only slip in terms of bad carbs, I felt ok about it. We also ordered okra and our favorite, green beans with minced pork. The meal was delicious, and I managed to enjoy it all with a soda water instead of a Tsingtao.

Day 18:
Saturday morning was the last day at the conference–wow! The week of working all over town, taking taxis here and there, it was tough. Luckily, I packed my meals because the food at the conference was filled with carbs that would have definitely turned to sugar in nano seconds! Like usual I packed the two egg omelet with a half of an avocado. For lunch I also packed the usual: the roasted leftover chicken from broth, some baby carrots, and a small handful of blueberries. I purposely eat all my meals a little normal than later to get me through the day. Plus I knew dinner out with a friend in town was later in the evening, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared before going out to dinner.

At dinner, again I actually enjoyed the requiring of a healhtier meal. I am finding that being more involved with what I order is extremely valuable: they take better care of what gets presented before me. I ordered the sole fish with a butter sauce. They added extra vegetables, and I also ordered my favorite veggie, mushrooms. All of this with another large bottle of Pellegrino and I was set. I didn’t mind all the pasta around me nor not being able to try the tiramisu–which is my all time favorite dessert!

Day 19:
Sunday was supposed to be a bone broth day. But, there was a major, major problem! I was late in tasting my bone broth, but around 1 pm or so when I took the first sip, I realized there was no way I was going to be able to drink it. It was absolutely disgusting!!

By the time I got home at 3, I wasn’t sure what to do. I could try to make some fish bone broth, but the thought of that is even more disgusting. I went to the grocery store and tried purchasing shellfish stock and lamb stock. Both absolutely GROSS! At this point, I just decided to scrap the whole bone broth day and fast. I drank soda water and mint tea and made it through the day just fine. Then at dinner I joined in the BBQ chicken wings and had a few baby carrots.

So it wasn’t a bone broth day, but I’d consider it a fasting day with a meal plan at the end of the day.

Day 20:
I’m pretty routine on my eating days–you guessed it! A two egg omelet and half of an avocado is what I ate for breakfast. At lunch I ate a packet of nitrate free sliced deli roast turkey and half a packet of blueberries (probably too many there, but oh, nature’s candy!!).

I think I snacked to often on this day though. I snacked on a small handful of macadamia nuts and then later some almonds with caperberries. They say to snack on fat, so I really hope all the avocados and occasional macadamia nuts are not derailing. I’ll fine out on Wednesday….

For dinner I had a mixed salad of spinach, cucumbers, and pumpkin seeds with olive oil and vinegar plus I mixed my bun-less hamburger in with the salad. For that after dinner sweet treat need, I made another cup of mint tea.

Speaking of Wednesday….it’s not tomorrow but the next day. Tomorrow will be my last bone broth day before weighing myself on Wednesday morning. I am part excited, but more anxious than anything. What if the scale doesn’t read that much? I will have to be happy with whatever number is there. But, if I am honest, I am a little afraid it won’t say as much as I like. I’m really worried about it, but I’ve already to start another 21 days of this diet on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the day I weigh myself, despite what it says, I will treat myself to a couple of food items I’ve been missing. Wanna know what they are? Well, for dinner I plan to have a bowl of popcorn with shredded parmesean cheese alongside some red wine. Then to finish off that meal, I will open up the last Trader Joe’s dark chocolate, sea salt covered almonds. Mmmmmm, I can taste that delicious meal already! But then, I’m going right back to no sugar on Thursday. I don’t think this little indulgent will be too threatening. I hope not anyway.

Ok, here’s to one more day of bone broth. It’s simmering right now in preparation for tomorrow’s day. I hope it’s better than the last batch because that was distasteful!

Day 21:
I’ve done it! I finished 21 days on the bone broth diet. I can think back and actually calculate the amount of sugars I’ve eaten in the last 21 days: about 3 very small apples–I stopped eating those when I found out I should keep to berries, probably 3 cups blueberries, and 2 cups blackberries. I’ve also snacked on baby carrots which for a vegetable are high in sugar. I haven’t cheated once! I will be weighing myself tomorrow, and I feel nervous about what the scale will say, but regardless I feel very proud of my willpower during these last three weeks. Yes, I’ve wanted both dark chocolate and wine, but with soda water and mint tea, I’ve managed to curb those cravings. I’ve eaten out at restaurants and managed just fine enjoying the challenges I present to the chefs. For some reason I never experienced the carb flu, but there were a couple of days that were hard–like that one day I just couldn’t manage one more day of bone broth so therefore ate a bunch of nuts and had dinner. There was also this last Sunday when my bone broth was so disgusting it was easier just to fast. Tomorrow I will weigh myself. I’m turning it into a much bigger event that it needs be. Rather, I need to celebrate that I wore the red dress displayed up above and showed my waist. I also feel like my skin looks more clear. I am starting to see the return of my stomach ridges, and I don’t feel as self conscious as I did three weeks ago. These are also measurements–good ones.

But, here’s to my weigh-in tomorrow morning. May I be happy with my progress and move forward in health regardless of the number.

Day 22: I LOST 5 KGS/11 LBS!! Today I will indulge just a bit, but I’m going right back on to brothing tomorrow morning!!
