262 day 11

YAY, 15 pounds! I prefer the 2-5 pounds a day but I know that is especially rare and probably not going to happen anymore, I think I have slows to the 1 lb every other day. I accept that. My food today was the usual. Chicken for lunch & dinner. 2 cups of hot chocolate for a total of 120 calories. Mushrooms, a tomato and crystal light.

Finally! 263

Okay, I was right. You get so don't anxious with this diet because you want the pounds to drop off right away. Not like a normal diet when you wait a week for a 2 pound drop. I was careful about eating today. I had been weighing my chicken but it is annoying so I decided I will just thaw a small chicken breast from the big Costco bag and cut it in half. I figure I am getting 100, 125 calories instead of 87 calories from a 3.5 oz. When I use half of a Costco chicken breast it is 4 oz. I am not going over 500 calories either. Chicken and tomato for lunch & dinner. Hot chocolate & crystal light. Oh yes, a 9pm apple.

266 WTF? Day 8

I ate ribs & it does this? ARUGH! Well today because of time, I had two trips to the airport I didn't eat a lot. I had a tomato for lunch. ½ of a Wendy's chicken nugget, I ate it not thinking (leftovers from my daughter) then a steak & mushrooms for dinner. I did have my cheating items. Crystal light, sugar free hot chocolate and sugar free breath mints. Those things might add up to 100 cal. I still feel good though. Come on! I am eating healthy for sure, even if the weight stays for a (tiny) bit.

Day 7 265

Okay, I guess I know I can't loose everyday but it sure feels better when I do! I was actually bad today in terms of this diet. I made BBQ ribs today. I was just cutting some off the bone for the kids and I ended up trying it, harmless right. Than another bite and another.... I didn't eat a lot but it was ribs (and really good for that matter). Then I figured that I did that I might as well eat the corn on the cob I had made too. No butter, just salt. For lunch I had my small steak & mushrooms which surprisingly tasted fine just sauteed without butter. I have turned into a salt freak! Better tomorrow I hope

Day 6 265

12 pounds in 6 days. Not bad at all. Certainly a lot better than the average of two days a week! Today was my 1^st no shot day, I wondered how it would affect me, it didn't. We went to church today which was distracting, not food there so that was good. It is harder with all the kids home, me in the kitchen all day long. Today I didn't have lunch until 3pm. I had steak & tomatoes. I wasn't hungry for dinner at 6 so I just skipped the mean portion and just had two small tomatoes, My body must be wondering WHAT IS UP! No sugar, tomatoes galore… I was certainly tempted today though. Cheyenne made super awesome chocolate chip cookies that I wanted so badly. It was like the breakfast I made everyone on Saturday, hash browns, eggs, orange juice, and bacon. Oh I wanted those hash browns most of all. I have to say I made it though! Again, YAY
for me!

Day 6, no loss

Well today is day 5 and for the first time I don't have a loss. I am not sad as I have lost 10 lbs in 5 days, I can wait a day or so to see change on the scale. Today I had chicken (3.5 oz) and tomato for lunch and steak (3.5) and tomato for dinner. I had a pear later and then read the protocol and found that for some reason pears are not allowed? Anyhow, I guess I will go back to apples even though pears this time of year taste fantastic!

Day 5, 267 10 lbs in 5 days!

Well it has been 5 days and I have lost 10 lbs, which ROCKS! Today was fine, still need to work on water. I ate 3.5 oz steak & a tomato for lunch, a salad with vinaigrette dressing (5 calories for 2 tablespoons) for a mid day snack and an apple. Then a 3.5 oz steak for dinner with asparagus. I have been trying to be faithful about eating dinner by 6 and no snacks after that either. I am certainly happy with things as it is moving so fast! I still have a TON more to lose but it is always encouraging to have things move fast.
