Yesterday was a scary day. My husband wanted to go for a hike so I ate a bowl of mac and cheese so I could have the energy for the walk. Can I say it tasted so good? It was amazing. Then in place of the 2nd smoothie I made burgers. Of course it was with lettuce in place of a bread bun, no cheese. I snuck in mustard and low fat mayo. And onions and salt-free spices in the meat for more flavor. I was so hungry I had two of them. And a handful of Pop Chips on the side. So I was afraid to step on the scale this morning. But to my surprise I weighed in at 140, a loss of 1.6 pounds! Phew! Even with all that cheating I still lost weight. I guess the key is to avoid the grains, sugar and processed foods.
So to sum I've lost a total of eight pounds in five days. Super awesome! It's encouraging, especially since I still have nine more days to go and this diet is hard for me. I need to plan some sort of celebration for the end and treat myself.
6pm. Today was a much easier day, thanks to the fact that I had the meal at lunch and the smoothie for dinner. I made the flaxseed crackers recipe from the Smoothie Shakedown website. Topped with tuna salad it was pretty delicious. The fiber in the crackers made it really filling and carried me through the afternoon.
