The 17 Day Diet - Cycle 2 - Day 7

Starting weight: 222.8
Today's weight: 211.0
Weight loss to date: -11.8 lbs
Kind of getting frustrated at this point with no weight change overall for like 6 days.  Maybe I need to re-read Cycle 2 info. 

Today was my first true "cheat" day.  Yes, I admit it.  Keep reading for details.

Breakfast - Oatmeal (of course) with strawberries and truvia

Lunch - Iceberg lettuce with FF french dressing + baby carrots + celery with FF cream cheese and an orange

Dinner - Well I was PLANNING to have shrimp and brown rice but that didn't work out.  We went to Tuscan Oven, probably my favorite restaurant (next to Global Grill) in the city.  I ordered a grilled chicken salad over romaine with mandarin oranges and a very yummy raspberry vinaigrette dressing.  Rich and Jess ordered the Triple appetizer (cheese bread with 3 dips) and I had once slice with some red dip and some hummus dip.  Then I had 3 bites of one slice of their double cut pizza.  I savored those three bites.  YUM!

I'm sure I'll pay for my choices tomorrow OR with my luck the scale will go down.  Who knows.  The next place I'm cheating at is Global Grill if we go next week.  Other than that I'm going to buy some dark dark chocolate in 1 oz. prepackaged pieces and eat one a day.  This suggestion is in the book, but only during the "PMS Week" diet.  Dark chocolate is good for you so 1 ounce a day won't hurt and I'll curb any cravings I have for reeses ice cream treats.

So I cheated.  So be it.  Sometimes you just gotta do it, but I'll be back on track tomorrow.  I was thinking of making the knock off "chips" this weekend that's made with kale.  And the highly recommended and filling chicken vegetable soup on the 17 Day Diet book.  Wish me luck.
