The 17 Day Diet - Cycle 1 - Day 5

Today went well!  Although I didn't get my 17 minutes of exercise in.  I slept in until 8, took a 2 hour nap later and went to see Super 8 tonight.  Very pleasant day!

I meant to do all of my weigh ins in the morning but up until today I had been weighing in after work.  So I weighed in this morning and my jaw dropped.  I hope that changing my weigh in time doesn't show a gain when I go tomorrow.  We shall see, but until then, I have to enjoy my swift successs.

Starting weight: 222.8
Today's weight: 218.0
Total loss to date: 4.8

Breakfast - Mixed fresh berries and 2 hard boiled eggs (with some salt....c'mon those are hard to eat without salt!)

Lunch - Large salad with romaine* and spinach, grilled chicken carrots, cucumbers, celery, red peppers, parmesan cheese, FF raspberry vinagrette dressing.

*I thought that I liked spinach but realized after eating today's lunch that I like the spinach that comes in those creamy spinach & artichoke dips at various restaurants.  Not the same thing when it's eaten fresh!



Snack - Orange  

Dinner - Rich seasoned some fajita chicken for me and sauteed it with onions and green pepper so I kind of felt like I was having fajitas with him except no tortillas or cheese....or sour cream.  But I wasn't even hungry for dinner.  This food I'm eating keeps me fuller longer!



Movie - Huge water (no popcorn or candy!)

Snack - Mixed berries

So I got through the first day of the weekend and think tomorrow I'll do just fine.  I'm planning to get 2 walks in tomorrow or possibly do my 1-mile Leslie Sansone walk video which runs right at 18 minutes.

My next goal is to build my own workout into Runkeeper so my coach can take me through intervals.  I want do do some jogging in with my walking to ramp up my workouts.
