C1 D12 R2

Still, not feeling well. I did drink my lemon water this mornning and a Green Tea...that was all I could handle.

I did stop and get a McD's S/F Vanilla Ice Coffee....I know its not allowed on Cycle 1...but I thought at least it would be some calories and it would feel good on my throat. I promised myself I would eat dinner, even if I didn't have a appetite.

Dinner: Chicken Breast, Corn (not allowed in Cycle 1) with that Grill-mate seasoning on it...GREAT... and a tomato with some truvia on it..because this time of year tomatoes are not very sweet. Green Tea

Cycle 2 Day 11

 I also jumped on the scale again today...(I think I was worried about eating out) I lost another pound. I am now down 15.5 lbs.

Another day of shopping, this time with hubby. I had a big breakfast and it was very filling, and I thought I would be home to eat something before 2...well, that didn't happen. So I only had one serving of fruit today.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with strawberries with some Truvia on the top and green tea

Lunch: I did eat a Mike's Power Cookie when I did get home..after 2..but I was sooooooo hungry.

Dinner: Stir-Fry with shrimp and a slice of tomato with some cottage cheese.

Snack: Yogurt with some flax-seed stirred in...and some EVVO. I am hoping the flax-seed will help with my hot-flashes. Over all this diet had made me feel so much better. My joints don't hurt like they used to. And my intake of Advil is WAY DOWN.

Cycle 2 Day 4

Dr Mike's Cookies
I made these today. I didn't have vegetable spray..so I used olive oil spray..and I had the rack in the oven set in the middle. They baked to fast...they got a little more brown then I would have liked and they didn't even bake 15 minutes. I am going to correct these issues on the next batch and see if I have better results. Even with the problems I had, I liked the taste and I feel like I am getting a treat. It will be great when I am on days...something to grab for breakfast when I am in a hurry.

I had a hard boiled egg and a few slices of turkey when I came home from work this morning. I also had to eat one of the cookies when I made them when I got up. This is the day I switch over shifts, so it is a little hard to fit all my food into today...but I am not going to worry about it.

I also purchased some flavored green tea...today I tried the peach green tea...AWESOME...I didn't even need to add Truvia this time.



Our all white dinner...lucky I had a colorful plate.

Dinner: Cauliflower, cottage cheese and turkey tenderloin. It tasted better then it looked! 

Snack: Yogurt

Cycle 1 Day 14

C1D 14 I am down 10 lbs and hubby is down 15. I actually like getting on the scale. Did I just say that? Maybe by summer I can say I actually like trying on swimsuits. A girl can dream right? I can honestly say the only time I find myself hungry is if I stay up late at night...my stomach lets me know it wants something. I just watched a video on YouTube from Dr. Mike, saying this is the time to eat a little protein. So I will try that or just go to bed earlier.

Breakfast: I decided to make a omelet with my new pan I purchased at Bed Bath & Behind. It really does a good job and easy clean up. I made two omelets...one for work tonight...I am a shift worker and I start nights this week. I hope my weight loss continues..its hard to eat at a scheduled time when you days and nights are opposite. Don't you just love the little egg on the pan...puts a smile on my face when I use it...what a better way to start the day!

Breakfast: Omelet-tomato-onions-red pepper-mushroom-spinach topped off with salsa, yogurt and green tea

Snack: Red Grapes  

Lunch: I was craving a sandwich. So I used a big romaine lettuce as my bread..added some turkey and tomoates and FF 1000 Island Dressing (that was all I had)  I folded it like taco shell and ENJOYED...I did not even miss the bread. I also cut up a peach...Yum Yum! I also tried my green tea iced...and I gotta say...I like it even better...of course I still had to add the Truvia

Dinner: We tried the riced cauliflower pizza...It needs a little work...I need to use a pizza pan or a stone and to make the crust thicker. Other then that...it tasted GREAT..I could not even tell that it was a cauliflower crust. I felt guilty eating it.

Cycle 1 Day 13

 C1D13 Down 9lbs for me and 13.5lbs for hubby

I love weekends, because I can take the time to make my fruit look really pretty. I also tried green tea again...this time adding some truvia to it. I had to add two packets to it to make it something that I could drink. Maybe as I get used to the taste I can cut it down to one packet.  Dr Mike did say that we can use as much truvia as we want. I just don't want to encourage my sweet tooth. I think I will brew a cup and then chill it...and add ice to it...and see if I like it better as a ice beverage

This was my lunch. I made it in right before 2 pm....I was shopping this morning and it went longer then I expected. I did not want to go out to eat for lunch so I waited till I got home.

Dinner: Spinach Salad: Spinach, mushroom, yellow tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber. We added canned chicken(for convenience reasons)...first time trying it...kind of tastes like tuna to me. I made my dressing with my friendly fat: Olive oil, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard with one pkg of truvia

Breakfast : 2 egg omelet with some hot  pico de gallo added to it for some spice, and a yogurt.
