| A fresh batch of chex mix I made up for my wife's friend this morning. I resisted the urge to eat even a single one. That fact did not please me in the least. |
Saturday's weight: 214.8 lbs
Goal: 190 lbs
This weight roller coaster is getting annoying, though I need to keep repeating that it's the long term trend that matters, and not whether I'm retaining a pound of water day to day.
Speaking of weight, we decided to take a diet vacation Saturday. Not that we abandoned the whole shebang altogether, but I was getting together for a rare all morning/afternoon get-together with some friends, and my wife was visiting a friend of her's in the North End of Boston. For those who don't know what the North End of Boston is, allow me to summarize in a picture:
A few allowances simply had to be made.
By and large, we were fairly good though. She had a few treats, but a salad for lunch. I settled on a waffle in the morning (went light on the syrup, though it took a Herculean effort to resist seconds) and some chili at lunch. I expect we will pay for this on our next weigh-in, but both having lost somewhere around 10 lbs, we figured a small diet holiday wouldn't be too terrible.
I'm still making my way through the book itself. We'll be moving on to the second 17 day cycle soon and I'll need to see what extra scraps we're allowed to ingest, though we're thinking about extending the first to 18 days to make up for our Saturday lapse.
Today's quote comes from the second chapter of the book, where Dr Hunky is telling us how we're not allowed to have pineapple and bananas, because they have too much sugar and will turn us into walking cans of Crisco.
On the first two Cycles of the 17 Day Diet, you'll stick to berries, apples, oranges and grapefruit, which are lower in sugar. By eating like this, a fruit tooth will replace the sweet one that rules your mouth.I will be making a dentist appointment very shortly, because it seems my fruit teeth have been late coming in. Maybe they're impacted.
