The 17 Day Diet - Cycle 1 - Day 14

Starting weight: 222.8
Today's weight: 212.8
Weight loss to date: -10.0 lbs

I am thrilled!  Two figures now!  What can I say, I actually look forward to waking up in the morning so I can weigh in and see the results of my persistence.  Clothes are fitting even better and others worse (the ones that were too big before I started).  I'll be down in the ONES before I know it.

Tonight I went on a walk with Juno.  Now Juno is weird in that she WILL NOT do her business anywhere else besides our back yard (she won't even go in the front yard).  Of course when she was kenneled, she had to give in eventually.  I normally only take her two rounds around the hood (1 mile) but I wanted to go a little further and off she went with me.    She was slowing and I thought she was tired so I turned around and there she is pooping in the middle of the road.  Well I didn't bring a poopy bag with me so I had to turn around and get one from the house, walk back and pick up.  From now on maybe I'll care an emergency poop bag. 

Now after the poop story, let's talk about what I ate today. hehehe

Breakfast - what else?  Yogurt and fruit.  Next time I buy yogurt I'm getting all vanilla because I like to mix it with my fruit and flavored yogurt doesn't go as well with fruit as vanilla does.

(forgot to take before I ate it all - I was hungry!)

Lunch - salad with tuna, balsamic, an orange, and green tea.  for some reason it was hard for me to stomach eating this whole salad this time.  I think I need some new lunch recipes.

 Dinner - broccoli and frozen salmon.  All I hve to say is that I CAN taste a difference between frozen salmon and fresh salmon.  I'm going to have to suck up the cost of buying fresh.

 Dessert - Fruit.  I'm not "supposed" to eat fruit after 2 PM for god what reason in the book, but other say it doesn't matter the time of day you eat fruit.  Either way it's good for you.  Das right!

I talked to someone at work today that was trying out Nutri-System but said she gave up because she lost no weight.  I asked her if she was interested in trying something different and told her about the 17 Day Diet as best I could in a short amount of time.  Then I told her how much weight I've lost so far and she said she was going to go buy the book this week!

Today was my Dad's first day quitting smoking cold turkey.  I hope he makes it cuz I'd sure like to have him around longer.  I left him a voice mail today and told him to take it one day at a time and stay committed.
