Today is Sunday. I have not given up and Kevin and I are now on day 3 of the second 17 day cycle of this diet. We finished the first set on Wed. and then on Thursday we decide to eat (in moderation) some of the foods we have not been eating before going on to the next stage. So for lunch that day – I ate a chicken salad sandwich with my veggies and dip and a fresh donut from the Windmill Bakery. Then for dinner we went out for pizza which Kevin had been craving. We did not over eat; we just enjoyed the foods we had completely cut out for the 17 days prior.
We started back on Friday on phase 2. This phase allows us so new foods that we haven’t been eating for the last 17 days. Now we can eat stuff like lean red meat, shrimp, lean pork, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and my favorite oatmeal. On this phase you eat every other day like you have for the last 17 days and then on every other day you can eat including these new foods. You can have 2 of the new veggies or starches but you must eat them before 2:00 just like your fruit. This is a little difficult because you want to eat those things with your dinner but you can’t because you have to eat them before 2. However, it sure is nice to be able to eat potatoes and beans. I guess I will just have to cook them the evening before we can eat them and then have them the next day for lunch.
I haven’t lost any more weight so far but I know this phase doesn’t promise to have you lose as much as the first 17 days. I just hope that I can continue to watch the scale go down to help keep me motivated.
Today’s meals: oatmeal with apples, apple slices, ½ orange, yogurt, baked fish, potatoes, lima beans, taco salad, yogurt.
Today’s exercise – ha!ha! It’s Sunday – I napped all afternoon!
