Goal: 190 lbs.
This is one of those days that make me hate regimented diets. After around 4 hours of snowshoeing through the woods of Maine, I come home to find that I have gained a full pound. The logical part of me knows that it's probably because I ate and drank not too long before, whereas I'm usually on an empty stomach after work when I weigh and wearing different clothes. The gut feel part, however, thinks he's ready to find out if this book would make 17 days of kindling.
Lesson learned: weigh-ins will now be first thing in the morning, straight out of bed with no food in me and no clothing variables.
Today's food report:
Breakfast
Blueberry smoothie-ish drink (frozen blueberries + low fat yogurt)
Lunch
Leftover chicken vegetable soup (not surprisingly this tastes a lot better after hiking through the snow all afternoon)
Dinner
Sashimi (raw fish)
Edamame (steamed legumes similar to pea pods, I think these were actually a no-no on Cycle 1)
Chicken negimaki (scallions wrapped in chicken, both quite legal, though it had a light smattering of teriyaki, another Cycle 1 no-no)
We caved. Dinner was out for Japanese tonight. With the two exceptions above, we did manage to stay on-diet. Oh, and we ate a fortune cookie too. Nya-nya, take that Dr. McHunky.

"...you can practice my 'three-bite rule' with desserts...If you truly want chocolate turtle cheesecake, go ahead and have it, but limit yourself to a taste. Take three bites and set it aside for a few minutes. You're less likely to come back to ti. You might even discover that those few bites of a great dessert can be very satisfying, and might be all you really wanted in the first place."
I'll go ahead and let that one stand on its own merits.
