The 17 Day Diet - Cycle 2 - Day 3

Starting weight: 222.8
Today's weight: 210.8
Weight loss to date: -12.0 lbs

Breakfast - Old fashioned oatmeal and an orange
Lunch - Steak and a baked potato wtih FF cheddar and FF sour cream.

My pictures got deleted by accident, but I have to say my Nuwave did a wonderful job on lunch.  I was able to cook both items simultaneously.

After lunch I went shopping for a couple hours and started feeling bad while I was out.  My stomach was NOT happy with me.  I had a horrible stomach ache (and back ache - WTH?) the entire rest of the day until now, which is why I decided to get up and post.  At some point when the pain subsided I had a stick of celery (I have stalks chilling in cold water in the fridge at all times) and that was a mistake, so I decided to skip dinner tonight.

I guess I overdid it on Cycle 2 foods - I figured that since I've eaten steak and potatoes on many many occasions in my life that I didn't give a second thought to my stomach not being ready for it. 

Oh well, I sure hope I'm hungry for breakfast because I really want a smoothie.  I've developed somewhat of an addiction to fruit and yogurt.

Read most of the remaininder of the book recently -- one of the lines I won't forget said something about having to be on a diet the rest of my life if I wanted to maintain my weight -- that I could NEVER go back to the way I was eating before.  That really hit home for me.....eating the way I did -- without care for nutritional content and without respect for my body -- is what got me to the weight I am at.  I am starting to view food as more of a nutritional necessity rather than pure entertainment.  Kind of neat.
