Day Twelve - Cycle One

     I am up early so I can walk baby girl to school.  On my way home, I was passing by a store front window, when I caught sight of my reflection.  My spirits took a plummet to the ground!  I had been feeling really great, and seeing and feeling results.  However, when I saw my image in that window, I was shocked and dismayed.  I look like I am carrying a baby elephant in my stomach!  Man, it's so depressing how much weight I actually have to lose.  I have been trying real hard to stay strong and focus on every day small successes to lead me to a bigger loss.  It was working until this morning.  On day ten, when I saw myself in the mirror after my shower, I was surprised to see that my hips were smaller on the sides.  Then, today it looks like all the weight just shifted to the front.  Maybe that is what is happening.  A shift in weight??  Is that possible?  I don't know, but it really makes me want to eat a couple of donuts!  It is devastating.  Instead, I ate a light lemon cream pie yogurt.  It was nice and sweet, and was my second probiotic for the day.  I still have not cheated with so much as a crumb or a lick or a taste of anything not sanctioned on Cycle one of Dr. Mike's 17 Day Diet.  At least I can be proud of that!  This is why fat people give up dieting after a short time, because the results are slow in coming and it gets discouraging.

TODAY'S STATS


     Green Tea = 5; Water =  8  yippee!; probiotics = 2; fruits = 2 (strawbabies);  Proteins = Grilled Chicken breast, stir fry chicken breast; Vegetables = mushrooms, onions, broccoli, snow peas, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, carrots,; Exercise = 45 minutes!


     I made my lemon water upon my return home this morning.  I drank it. I made my green tea and drank that with my yogurt and my strawbabies (5).  I made a video to email to my beautiful older daughter so she can see what I look like, and so I will have a comparison for after.  I drank two waters.
    After picking up the little bit, we went to lunch at Chili's - I just cannot get enough of those onions and mushrooms!).  I also drank a green tea and two glasses of water there.  Then we went shopping for some necessities.  Came home.  Had another green tea.  Drank a water. Worked on my blog design and posts.  Made stir fry chicken for dinner, and added some grilled onions and mushrooms to it - it was fabulous.  I ate a large bowl of vegetables.  The rest of the family eats rice and yakisoba noodles with their chicken and vegetables, plus teriyaki sauce.  I drank two more waters.
   
     Feeling kind of lonely.  I miss my friend Diana.  She is on vacation with other friends having a great time.  I miss her smile, and her conversation, her hugs, and companionship.  Hurry home Di.
God Bless....
