Day 15

Day 15: 141.8
Total Lost: 9.2

So I'm going to be more strict on this diet. No Melba toast still though. I am not satisfied with my weight loss. Yesterday I cheated too much, but that was the last of it! Except when Christmas comes. I'll decide then if I want to cheat. I haven't noticed much weight loss. All I see are the numbers. I just really want to notice my pants go on easier! Although, I have been told my face isn't as round.

I'm having trouble going to sleep. Once I'm asleep, I can sleep all night, unless the baby wakes me up. I think it's because of the B12. If it continues, maybe I'll cut back on it a little. I guess I'll see what the nurse says. For lunch I had chicken, tomatoes, and an orange. Bad combo. It does not go well together AT ALL!!!

Day 14

Day 14: 141.6
Total Lost: 9.6 lbs

I'm pretty pleased that I didn't gain anything this weekend! Now, according to the scale at work and our charts, I've only lost 4ish pounds. So I don't know what's really right. The work scale also seems to change depending upon where your on your foot you're putting the most weight, heel versus toes, so I bet that has some effect. They're getting a new scale though.

I've also gotten past craving so many foods. Sure, I still want stuff here and there, but it is not overwhelming me. Once I got past those first 2 weeks, I'm accepting this diet more.

----------
So I cheated. I wanted a warm lunch, I wanted to get out of here. So I went to Panera. I got a cup of chicken noodle soup, 80 calories, and a small turkey sandwich with no cheese and no dressing, 200 calories. It was SOOOOOO good! And I was so full!! But I know I will pay for it by not losing :(

For dinner I had chicken and 1/2 a grapefruit. And 2 Melba toast. That is why I stay away from the toast. Once I eat one piece, I have to eat more. Thank goodness only 2 were left in the whole package! Oh, and 4 chocolate chips. The craving was too overwhelming. Ugh, watch me gain :(

Day 13

Still in KC so don't know my change in weight!

For lunch I had shrimp and cucumber, no fruit.

For dinner I had a grilled chicken snack wrap from McDonald's, no sauce, but with extra lettuce. I left the cheese on. Then I had an orange, and right before bed I ate 0.5 oz of chicken, just for a little snack.

Day 12

I was in KC on Day 12 so I don't know how much I've lost. Here is the breakdown of what I ate/drank:

Lunch was Lobster and Shrimp chowder that was cream based and had corn and potatoes in it at Longhorns Steakhouse. I only ate half of it, so about 150 calories worth (the whole thing would've been 250 calories). I also ate Jeff's steamed broccoli, which I'm sure had butter on it. And I had one small sip of soda, which honestly didn't taste all that great. Too sweet for me!

For dinner I had chicken, an orange, and asparagus. Also I had maybe a 1/4 cup of Starbucks coffee, not the normal kind, but the super sweet delicious high in calories kind.

Day 11

Day 11: Unknown
Total Lost: Unknown

So, I'm unable to weigh myself. The scale available here is WAAAAAAY off. Weighed me in at 139, and said my husband lost 10 lbs overnight! So I will have to wait to weigh myself until we're home. Which stinks, because I can't see if my cheating is really hurting me.

I'm having a real hard time today. It's cold, and I want hot chocolate and soup. And not Stevia hot chocolate, but nice creamy hot chocolate. And a cream based soup, like Jason's Deli broccoli and cheese. This diet is so hard during the cold months. I highly recommend to do this during the summer!!!!!

For breakfast I had an orange, and because we were out and about at lunch (we're visiting family), we went to Quiznos where I ordered a large roast beef sandwich, with only lettuce on it and Au Jus to dip it in. I ate only half with bread, and the other half I just ate the roast beef and lettuce. I was SOOOO full! And it was delicious! I just ate dinner and had shrimp. I am skipping my vegetable because I'm just not hungry, but am still going to eat a 1/2 grapefruit or orange. I also haven't drunk much water today. So I better get 2 bottles down before bed!!

Day 10

Day 10: 143.8 lbs
Total Lost: 7.2 lbs

I didn't get a chance to write yesterday, so here is what went on yesterday. Breakfast I had 1/2 grapefruit. Lunch was a hamburger patty and grape tomatoes. I skipped my Melba toast. I went to Jose Peppers with co-workers and was good and only had a water and some apple slices. Because I was headed out of town, I didn't get the chance to eat before I left except for an orange, so on the way to Kansas City for the weekend, I stopped at McDonalds. I got a grilled chicken snack wrap, with no sauce and no cheese. So lettuce, chicken, and wrap only. I figured it was the healthiest I could eat on the road. That was all I had the rest of the evening.

Day 9

Day 9: 144.2 lbs
Total Lost: 6.8 lbs

I'm feeling really down about the diet today. All I want is something tasty. And this isn't dreamy me, this is serious me. I'm hungry, I want comfort food. I don't want all this food that is healthy and makes me feel physically good. I want food that will emotionally make me feel all warm and gooey inside. Food that makes me happy. Food I enjoy eating, and not being scared of when it's the last bite because I know I don't get anymore after that. I want to eat to my hearts content. I want to be able to go to the kitchen when I feel that pang of hunger in my belly and get something tasty to snack on.

This halfway stems from me not finding vegetables that I like. True, I do like cucumber, but cucumber every day, when I'm already cold and want something warm is just not my cup of tea. And on the topic of something warm, yes, I can make soup which is so tasty in the winter! But what kind of soups does this girl like? Cream based soup. Potato soup and bean with bacon soup are the 2 I eat. I'm not into chicken noodle and other brothy soups. And tomato soup I only like with grilled cheese. That is one of my favorite winter meals. Ugh, just frustrated. And hungry. Blah.
