Day 2 - Attack Phase

Wake up early this morning to fix hubby's lunch.  Didn't get much sleep.  So, after he leaves for work (way early in the a.m.), I try to get a good nap in.  Didn't work.  Had a most horrible dream.  Text hubby and say...doh!  Bad bad bad dream...can't shake it...he called me.  Ah...that made me feel good.  Then I get on the scale.

203!!!

That is down 2 pounds folks!  Just like the book said!

So...to breakfast...this morning, I put in just a touch of some cocoa powder (the cooking kind, not the sweetened kind).  And poured myself a cup of my water-milk.  I am not a lover of these thinned out milks.  But when it's my only option, I found that I enjoyed it.

For my snack, I once again finished off that little thing of Greek yogurt that I used part of to make my lightly cocoa'ed Galette.

For lunch, I was thinking...what to have...what to have...then, I remembered that I had those turkey patties...and folks, I love those ground turkey patties.  So.  Some may look at my little plate and feel sorry for me.  Oh, I tell you...do not.  Because I put just a little salt on these (not supposed to use much salt), some garlic powder, some onion powder, a fair amount of pepper...because I love that stuff, and then, just to make them super duper good, I put some sage on.  Oh yeah.  Only thing to make it better?  Next week...when I can have some spinach or something to the side of it.  I also took the man up on his offer that we could have a diet soda...which I hate...but I thought to add something a bit different, I'd do it.  Only Dr. Pepper though.

Afternoon snack?  Didn't think I'd eat one...cuz I wasn't hungry at all.  But dinner ended up taking longer than it was supposed to, so I grabbed a piece of that garlic chicken I had in the fridge.

For dinner, I baked a beef roast.  Hubby was happy.  He had potatoes and gravy, and cheesy texas toast.  I did not.  I had a small pile of roast beef, with a sauce the book said I could have (plain Greek yogurt with a splash of vinegar and horseradish...so very good!), and an egg and a little nonfat cottage cheese.  Which I thought would be nasty.  It's not.  I'll have some of that custard stuff in a bit...seeing as how I have three more ramekins of it still in the fridge.  Next time, I'll make the creme stuff he has a recipe for.

Over all, I think today was a success.  Stayed true to the diet...except for the walking...because I did my T-Tapps.  But I figure it's still a success because I did my exercising.  Just not walking.  It's okay.  It gets me breathing hard and breaks a sweat.  AND...let's not forget, I did lose two pounds.  Here's hoping that the scale is as kind in the morning...
