The 17 Day Diet - Cycle 3 - Day 1

Starting weight: 222.8
Today's weight: 207.6
Weight loss to date: -15.2 lbs

I'm so relieved to hit 15 lbs!  I think that is a decent number after 34 days.  I really enjoyed my food today!

Breakfast - Fiber One Honey Squares (1 c), 1 c skim milk, 1 c sweet cherries, green tea


Lunch - 1 slice high fiber bread, turkey, baby carrots, green tea.  I meant to eat an apple too but it was after 2 by the time I finished my lunch.

Dinner - a dozen shrimp, cocktail sauce, romaine side salad with lots of cukes, balsamic vinegar dressing.



Snack - I made KALE CHIPS!  They were pretty good but I burnt them a bit.  You just take some kale (no stems) and toss with EVOO + seasonings of your choice - I used sea salt and garlic powder.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, flip over, another 5-10 minues until crispy.  Pretty tasty and I've never had kale until tonight.


Snack #2 - Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (chocolate + peanut butter flavor).  This was delicious.  I liked Skinny Cow stuff before but this was the first time I've had ice cream (ok, I know it's "fake" ice cream") in a loooong time.  This from someone that used to have a bowl of the bad stuff almost every night.
Something nice I noticed is that I don't dread getting dressed in the morning anymore.  I feel so much better about how I look -- even after only 15 lbs. -- that I know I can pull together an outfit and look good and feel good, too. 

Looking forward to creeping closer to 20 lbs....and then to the 100s.  =D
