Day Two: The Attack

OK, well that was depressing, just got off the scales, I lost 0.2 pounds, not sure that was worth it, I felt like I lost more.  I will try 1 more day but there had better be at least a pound.  The doctor says that during this phase you should lose 2 to 7 pounds or something like that, my plan was to do at least 5 days of this phase so I shouldn't get to discouraged.  Last night I got smart and made a bunch of proteins that I can eat today.  I made tuna salad (fat free miracle whip, just a tiny bit and sugar free pickle relish, a chopped hard boiled egg and about a teaspoon of chopped onions I discovered that this is legal as a seasoning), seasoned tilapia filets, hamburger (95% fat free) patty and boiled eggs.  David (my very supportive and adorable husband) got up extra early this morning (4 a.m.) and made me an egg over easy, which is my favorite way to eat them and he makes them perfect!  The egg was wonderful, it was really weird eating this early in the morning, but we are not supposed to miss breakfast so...  Mid-morning I had some Tilapia.  For lunch I ate about 4 ounces of my tuna salad.  About 2 I had another 2-3 ounces of tuna.  Went for a 20 minute walk to Sunflower Market (where I proceded to covet the fruit and veggies).  I hope the cravings go away SOON!  Got home and mowed the lawn and then had to run an errand, while we were out decided we didn't have time to fix the chicken I had gotten out to grill so Dave decided we needed to go to Texas Roadhouse.  Can I say at this point I was terrified, a part of me was pretty sure I was going to eat the entire basket of rolls with cinnamon butter!  But I didn't, Dave had one roll and then told the waitress to take them away.  Since I can't eat a lot at any one sitting, Dave and I usually share a meal.  I was nervous, we decided on Steak and Grilled Shrimp, I told Dave to order what ever sides he wanted.  The waitress came and Dave ordered the Ribeye with grilled Shrimp and NO sides.  So it was simple, the food came it was delicious and I didn't cheat.  Bonus, the bill came and the manager had taken $6 off our bill because we didn't order sides!!  So no idea what the outcome of today will be but it was a little bit easier and I feel really good about how it went.  The scales will tell tomorrow I guess.
