1Body4Twenty - Day 4

Weight - 161

My second day on the 500 calorie plan, and I did feel a little tired and weak, but that's normal in the beginning. Nevertheless, I have to keep an eye on my energy levels because if they continue to be low, then something isn't working right!

Sunset on Friday until night fall on Saturday is the sabbath in the Jewish religion, and I observe this religiously. There are many things we have to do on the sabbath, but mainly pray and eat. Eating, however, has it's own requirements, and we are supposed to drink a cup of either wine or grape juice and eat a special bread called challah on both Friday night and Saturday afternoon. While I can get around eating the bread, the grape juice is a must. So I will be having a small shot of that, and pray it won't affect anything. Obviously, grapes are full of sugar, and I haven't been able to find a sugar free grape juice yet, but hopefully I will soon.

Breakfast - I ate the apple that I am allowed at lunch

Lunch - Spinach with Walden Farms chipotle ranch dressing, and half a cup of non fat plain yogurt with Walden Farms Blueberry syrup mixed in.

Snack - Two garlic Melba toasts

Dinner - A shot of grape juice, 3.5 oz of Tilapia with garlic, paprika, pepper, and salt, and 2 cups of broccoli

Water - 1/2 gallon
