P2R1 VLCD Day 5 Total Pounds Lost: 5

Another pound down...yeah...I am so close to being under 180 for the first time in a loonnnng time! That goal should be reached in about two more days.

Again with the sugar-free coffee today. I forgot my stevia and black coffee was just gross to me. So I am taking yet another chance. No weight effect because of the soymilk BUT I did have a pimple this morning, which I think is a result of something I took in yesterday.

Here is what I consumed:
Drink - Plain water, unsweetened black tea, sugar-free vanilla cappucino
Breakfast: apple
Snack: cucumber with plain vinegar
Lunch: Picadilly cajun baked fish, two sides of plain broccoli
Dinner: two boiled eggs, mustard greens

Measurements (change since VLCD D1): (they flucuate up and down daily-I'd like to think my body is being contoured)

P2R1 VLCD DAY 4 Total Pounds Lost: 4

Shockingly, the restaurant grilled shrimp wrap did not stop my weight loss...another pound YEAH!

Today was another test but I did much better this time. My book club meeting was today (read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol - which was pretty great!). First I had to finish reading and went to Starbucks (had soymilk)...THEN...our meeting was held at Chili's and luckily they have guiltless meals. Hopefully the soymilk doesn't have any effect on my weight loss.

Here is what I consumed:
Drink - Plain water, unsweetened passion tea, unsweetened black tea, sugar-free non fat soy latte
Breakfast: none
Snack: none
Lunch: none (I wasn't hungry at all--I know that isn't good should have forced myself to eat)
Dinner: Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp Salad - I ate around the corn relish (don't think it is allowed), left most of the cheese on the plate (580 calories)

Measurements (change since VLCD D1): (they flucuate up and down daily-I'd like to think my body is being contoured)

P2R1 VLCD DAY 3 - Total lost to date: 3 pounds

Today was my first real test. I was out and about when the topic of dinner came up. My cousin had somewhere to go so we needed a quick place. Well the choice made was Brewbachers. We both purchased wraps. I had the most healthy thing they carried...Grilled Shrimp Mediterranean Wrap (wheat) with cucumber sauce on the side. I had about 1/2 teaspoon of the sauce on my wrap. I looked up various recipes and figure the only downer of the sauce could be sour cream (and that was if it was a non-healthy sauce). I will know on tomorrow morning if this was a super bad idea. I started feeling really full half way through so I ate just the inside of the other half. (saved some calories).

Here is what I consumed:

Drink - Plain water and lemonade w/stevia

Breakfast: apple

Snack: sliced cucumber with regular vinegar

Lunch: boiled egg, mustard greens

Dinner: Grilled Shrimp Mediteranean Wheat Wrap w/ 1/2 tsp cucumber sauce

Measurements (change since VLCD D1): (they flucuate up and down daily-I'd like to think my body is being contoured)

P2R1 VLCD Day 2 (actually it was on Friday) Down 2 pounds

Posting for Friday: YEAH, 2 day down...! It was not hard at all. I was not hungry at all. I even forgot to eat my second fruit at my second snack time. If you knew what a nibbler I was throughout the day you would value to importance of this lack of craving.The only interesting thing was the twinge of longing I felt whenever I came across an ad for food while reading a magazine. Other than that, I could see people eating all day and it didn't really bother me.

I am trying to get my nerve up to post my before pictures tonight. It is quite tramatic as I haven't really taken such up close and personal pics in a while...hope I can press the upload button!!!

Here is what I consumed:
Drink - Tazo Awake tea throughout the day
Breakfast: tea
Snack: apple
Lunch: tilapia, cauliflower, biscotte toast (I lost weight so veggie oil in toast had no effect)
Snack: ate fruit with dinner today
Dinner: tilapia, mustard greens, biscotte toast, apple, fresh lemonade w/stevia

Measurements (change since VLCD D1):
