So the 3 day diet is over and, like Julia I lost 5lbs. 5lbs in 3 days is pretty legit in my opinion – especially because I didn’t always stick to the diet and I didn’t exercise. I’m down 14lbs which is pretty exciting. Hopefully this downward trend keeps going!
So recently at our house we started a new behavior chart for the kids where depending on how they do during the week they get to pick out a special prize. My daughter’s prize for last week was “fancy dinner night” where she got to pick out everyone’s clothes and the menu and we ate out in the dining room in candlelight. I knew her menu was not going to be helpful to my weight loss so I tried to conserve my calories in the beginning of the day to make up for later.
Breakfast –
Coffee
Banana berry smoothie with almond milk. (The almond milk tasted gross in this smoothie and unforunately I made 4.)
Lunch –
6 saltines. I wasn’t ready hungry at lunch time. (Go figure because on the 3 day diet I was ready to eat my freaking arm off.)
Dinner (get ready for it) –
2 small mozzarella sticks
1/2 a piece Applesauce BBQ chicken
1 biscuit with margarine and garlic
1/4 c of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mac and cheese
3 pieces of honeydew
2 carrots
1 bite of Wegmans cheesecake. I wanted to eat the whole thing it was so good. I’ve never had cheesecake that fantastic. I kept it together and only had one bite though. Sadly I had to watch my husband eat half of it by himself. I am not joking. And what’s even sadder is that he probably will weigh less tomorrow for some sick reason!!!!!!
Exercise –
I should have done some but didn’t. I had to drag the kids on a bunch of errands today and it exhausted me. #excusequeen
