Day 1- My very First Day on the 17 Day Diet

Day 1- My First Day
    
Lost 4.4 lbs.     Current weight:  151.6 lbs.


 Feeling:  Excited that I lost that much weight, already.

Struggled with:  My old bad eating habits are still in full force. I was so tempted when getting gas with my fav. ready to eat pizza.  I resisted and thought, I would rather be healthy and look great :-) My fiancee' decided that he didn't want to try the diet with me and I am not forcing him, but hopefully he will see how good it makes me feel and try it out :-)                                                                            

*~*~*Re-Cap of The Day*~*~*
I woke up around 10:30AM. I had the wake up drink:  (1) 8 oz. glass of hot water with half a lemon squeezed in it.  -This was very unplesant, I plugged my nose to drink it all.

For Breakfast, I had:  2 scrambled egg whites; cooked with a lil olive oil, 1 tangelo, and 1 c. green tea.

-I struggled to eat the eggs and get through breakfast. I usually don't ever eat breakfast and I really hate the texture of eggs, but hey, anyone can do something for 17 days, so I sucked it up.

 For breakfast it states I can eat 1/2 grapefruit or any fruit. I also can't stand grapefruit, it reminds me of the vomit aftertaste. I suppose I never realized how picky I am, lol

For my excersise, I went to Wal-Mart, because I needed to pick up a lemon juicer, more lemons, and a weighing scale. I thought it would be difficult to spend that long in the store, but since I didn't ask anyone for help finding my items, I spent about 30 mins. walking. <---Excersing wasn't as bad as I thought, by the time I had walked around, it just felt like running an errand..

I spent $26.00 at Wal-Mart on the bathroom scale (digital health-o-meter), cucumbers, lemons, and a lemon juicer.

I had a few things to do, so it took me a while and I had a late lunch.

For Lunch, I had:  large salad with cucumbers, carrots, tuna fish, and tomatoes. For the dressing 1 Tbsp. oil and 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar.  I drank 1 cup of green tea.


 ~My two year old, ate a lot of my tomatoes and carrots.  I was begining to think, maybe, just maybe this is a good way for her to eat healthier too:-)

I had a snack of yogurt about 3 oz. with 1 tsp. sugar free strawberry jam.

 I was very  hungry while dinner was cooking.  The yogurt is fat free and it was, well horrible. It seems like a  lot of stuff on this diet is kind of bitter tasting. The yogurt, the lemon, and the icky eggs. I am determined to lose weight, so I continue on... plus the results were pretty sweet so far.

For Dinner, I had:  Grilled chicken breast with lemon pepper seasoning, 1/2 ear of corn on the cob with no butter or salt, fresh carrot sticks, and fresh cucumber sticks. 1 c. of green tea.

~Dinner was really tasty.  I love chicken and eat that mostly anyways and I LOVE LOVE LOVE fresh veggies.
