Another 1.4 pound loss, that brings me to a total of 6.4 pounds. Yesterday was a really difficult day for me and I cheated quite a bit. Some steamed rice, a couple spoons of mac and cheese, a couple pop chips. The mac and cheese was a battle, I wanted to eat an entire bowl. But somehow I managed to gather the self control and resist the urge. And it was an urge I fought all evening. I did go for a 30 minute walk so I'm sure it helped offset the extra calories I ingested.
Sheesh, I still have 10 days to go. I love how this diet makes me feel, eating so healthy helps me feel so much better. And I'm looking better. But it's so hard! Have to press on....

Day 3 - Down .4 pounds
I'm now at 143, a loss of .4 pounds. I forgot to take the 3rd set of supplements last night, and I'm also constipated. Must be the chia seeds I added to my smoothies. I also noticed I wasn't drinking as much water. I did cheat by having a spoon of pasta with my dinner, and a couple pop chips. But not enough to derail the diet.
I found a fabulous recipe that's great for this diet, stuffed peppers. I don't normally like ground turkey but it went really well in this dish, here's a link to the recipe:

Of course to make it Shakedown friendly leave out the salt and black pepper. I add cayenne to mine.
So all in all we're looking at a 5 pound weight loss in three days. I'm also finding that I sleep better at night, I'm not sure what the science is behind all this but this diet helps with that too!

Day One
Today marks the start of my weight loss journey. I've gotten a lot of false starts but I'm at at point where I really want to look and feel my best. I never had much of a problem until I got married and started having babies. Little by little my weight crept up, several years later I am 25 pounds heavier. I went from 123 pounds to 148 and I never imagined I would be this heavy. I want to reverse this trend!
When I was younger I tried a diet called the Fat Flush Plan. They now have a program called the Smoothie Shakedown. Two smoothies for breakfast and lunch, then a healthy meal for dinner. Fat burning supplements to boost my metabolism (and hopefully my energy level). I'm hoping this will jump start the weight loss! Here's to Day One....
