Day Three - Cycle One

     Good Afternoon!  Yes, it was another luxury sleep in morning because it was a president holiday for the kid.  Upon waking I drank my required lemon water, cup of green tea, ate yogurt and an apple.  Again, I felt full, but I tried drinking water too.  I had strawberries for snack (yup- before 2:00!)  I had a great salad with hearts of romaine, fresh mushrooms, and chunks of turkey.  I found this Kefir Yogurt salad dressing in bleu cheese and ranch, so I tried the ranch.  It was fabulous.  The brand name is LiteHouse Kefir Yogurt Dressing!  I got mine at Walmart Super Store.  Buy and Try it - it tastes just like the regular house with only 50 calories instead of 140 per serving!  Of course, I kept my usage down still.  I don't want to overdress them.  I enjoy the vegetables and meat in the salad - the dressing is to enhance slightly, not cover the flavor   I also steamed some brussels sprouts to go with it.  I was filled and fulfilled!.      All day I thought about what I was going to do for dinner and I thought about the dinners I had already made and loved and was going to repeat one of them, however, I did not want to get stuck in a rut and get tired of this diet.  Therefore, I went with another salad because I did not take anything out of the freezer (although I could have cooked some fish or chicken anyway).  I ate my second yogurt!
   
 My tabulations for the day are as follows:  Green Tea = 5; Water = 6 (I did much better, but still not 100% - its hard you know!); I ate my two fruits; I finished my two probiotics -plus that new dressing I found also has probiotics in it, so I scored a little more in that area for the third day.  Vegetables = Lots!    Turkey = lunch and dinner!
     I already feel lighter, healthier, more energetic.  With every pound I lose, I get one pound sexier for my hubby!  My clothes feel looser.  My stomach has indents in it and its only been three days!  Imagine me in a few months??  Look out!.  I have lasted longer on this diet than I ever have before.  I usually feel deprived, hungry and crave things.  I am surprised I haven't craved soda or sugary things, but I haven't.  Honestly!  It does seem hard to believe, but it's true and I am so glad.  Since I don't feel hungry or like I am missing out on something, I am having success!  Thank You God!  (I really do thank Him every day because I know I couldn't make this without His Strength and Blessings....)
     I cannot wait to be able to play and run around with my little one.  I want to be healthy for her and the rest of my family. Until next time, remember - you can do this too!  Thanks for all the support I have been getting!  If we all stick together we can help each other succeed in this endeavor.
