1Body4Sixty - Day 13

Peggy - 200 (+4.0; -16.0)

Woe is me!! This morning I digressed four pounds back to 200 lbs.(-16 lbs.)!!! I know why:

1.     Did not eat any fruit;

2.     Did not quite drink enough water;

3.     Forgot to take my vitamins and probiotics and;

4.     I went to fake bake (tan) and used a lotion.

My scale is giving me a reality check as the two pounds per day which I have experienced thus far is on the high side of the expected weight loss.

Breakfast was four cups of coffee w/Stevia. Yes, I was pissed!

Lunch was a shrimp cocktail w/lemon juice and steamed cabbage with garlic and sea salt. I had an apple with cinnamon and Stevia.

A trick I learned is that I purchased a one pound (116 oz.) bag of cooked frozen shrimp. There were forty pcs. which I divided equally into four sandwich bags each with ten pcs., i.e., four ready to go meal proteins.

Dinner was a boiled egg, salad with cherry tomatoes, red onion and Walden Farms Creamy Bacon Dressing. I had another apple.

I used to eat a lot of ‘convenience foods’ so this cooking for myself is very different for me. I have always been a veggie hater but I think that I have come to terms with that and actually developed a fondness for them. My portion sizes were super charged and now are what they should be.

My fingers are crossed for tomorrow. I hope to get back to the two pounds per day loss!
