Woohoo! I dropped over 4 pounds in one day. Yes, I know it is water. I know I lose really fast at first. A long time ago, someone talked about set points in weight loss. It does make a lot of sense. Because I maintained 15-20 pounds lower than I am now for so long, I will drop this first 15-20 pounds very quickly. I think this especially true because I gained this last 15-20 so very fast. I hope it gets off quickly. I need to feel better.
Today, I have groceries, so no excuse to not rock this program.
Breakfast
I adjusted the recipe from yesterday. Today, I did 6 oz of ff cream cheese, 6 eggs, and all the rest of the salsa. It was about 6 tbs -maybe a little more. Today, I got it all really smooth before pouring it into a sprayed pyrex dish. I divided it into 4 very large pieces. I will have breakfast for the next three days.
I want to make smoothie bags - put all the ingredients into a ziplock, so they are ready when I want them. If I get a chance. I can't claim that idea. I got it from Pinterest.
Lunch
YUM! I really, really likes my lunch. I looked at a lot of different recipes for the 17 day diet. I combined and adjusted and came up with a chicken soup that was really yummy! It sort of reminded me of something you might get in a Japanese restaurant - sort of a combo - the broth, mushrooms, onions, cabbage - yum!
Chopped 1/2 of a large yellow onion
Added 1Tbs olive oil in a my cast iron dutch oven
Sauteed onions until they were almost clear
Added one large can of mushrooms, drained
Add 1 Package of Onion Soup Mix (bought the one with lowest sodium)
Cooked until it was sort of a roux
Slowly added 1 Large container of low sodium chicken broth
Chopped about 1/4 head of cabbage (a large head) I think it was between 2 and 3 cups
Added 1 pkg grilled chicken pieces
I let it all come almost to a boil, before turning it down to simmer for about half an hour. I liked it a lot. I will keep it in the refrigerator for lunches. I do much better when I don't have to worry about prepping something. I now have 3 days of breakfast and at least 3 days of lunches in the fridge
Dinner was also an adjusted recipe.
It started with a dip for the chicken and the onions. I put 2 Tbs of FF sour cream and 1 egg white and a little water. I started by dipping the sliced onions in the mix. I put them on a sprayed pan. Then I did the same thing to the chicken strips (breast for me and thigh for Dean. On the chicken, I added seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese. On the onions, I added salt, pepper, Louisiana hot sauce, and some Parmesan cheese. I was hoping they would get crispy, but they didn't. They were really good though. I topped the chicken with the onions, and steamed some fresh green beans.
I managed to get all my water in and plenty of green tea, but I have yet to exercise. Maybe I will go walk tonight. Maybe. I need to plan better tomorrow for that.
