Day 15-16

Sunday's weight: 216.2 lbs
Monday's weight: ???? (I had two eggs, an orange and my morning hot water with lemon down before I realized I hadn't weighed in, so I skipped it today)
Goal: 190 lbs

Tomorrow will be the test to see if I've successfully gotten back on the bandwagon after our Saturday diet holiday.

Today's meals...

Breakfast:
2 hard boiled eggs
Orange

Lunch:
Salad with chicken thigh (really living on the edge with the dark meat)

Dinner:
"Taco" salad (same as before, taco seasoned turkey and greens, minus the tortilla)

Plus green tea, green tea, everywhere.


Keeping up with the water intake was difficult Sunday and I think I've been paying for it today in the form of a day long headache.  That's my diagnosis in any event.  It could possibly have more to do with going back to a job I dislike after a relaxing weekend ("dislike" in this case meaning "would rather have swine flu").

No food pictures today.  I did take a few pictures of the cat, but she's a tad modest and requested I not post them online.

Today's 17 Day Diet madness comes from the second Cycle.  Our good Doctor gives us some great advice on how to spice up bland vegetables.

2. Broth.  Use low-sodium, low-fat chicken and beef broth to sauté meats and cook flavorful rice without adding oil.
Sadly, what this means when translated from doctor-speak, is "water".  Why, you ask?  That's quite a good question.  Here, let's have a little one problem quiz to test your food knowledge.

There is a reason broth tastes nummy.  Actually, two reasons.  What are they?

a) The Emancipation Proclamation
b) salt
c) fat
d) Mt. Etna

If you answered b and c, congratulations!  You're a broth expert!
