Day 10

Let's just say, yesterday was bad...now not the bad you're probably thinking of...there were no cupcakes, although my children and I did make some delicious cupcakes :) There was no ice cream, or pop, or alcohol. I just had to have peanut butter! I had a tspn of pb and thought I was going to die. It didn't even taste right because I haven't had it for so long. I also missed my workout with Jillian last night. I was just exhausted. So I woke up today, glad to not be weighing in, and feeling tired. I should have worked out this a.m. UGH!

Anyway,
So I started my a.m. off with lemon water
I am now currently drinking hot green tea...I'm not even hungry, so I don't know when I'll choke down the yogurt and berries sitting in my mini fridge next to me.
For lunch: tuna and spinach
Snack: yogurt
Dinner: Baked tilapia and broccoli

Sounds exciting, huh?

Day 9

It's days like today that I feel like I need these:

Why does it have to be rainy every single morning that I'm having a fantabulous hair day??

6am Hot Water with Lemon
6:30am Mushroom, Onion, Egg, FF Cheese Omelette with Salsa
7:00am Green Tea

1:30pm green tea and FF yogurt
2:30pm apple french toast

ZIPPER MISHAP AND DAY 8

Good news...my new linen pleated skirt from Forever21 is adorable. I wore it with a seafoam colored top from J.Crew and a longer slub gray cardi.
Bad news...zipper split from the middle...you know the kind I'm speaking of, where it's not due to tightness or pulling too hard it just parts for no apparent reason.
Good news...The home ec teacher I work with can put a new zipper in it and fixed me up for today.

Day 8

6am Hot Water with Lemon
6:30am 2 scrambled eggs with onion and mushroom and a tspn of hot salsa
7am Green Tea
9:30am Berries
12:30pm Tuna, Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower, Green Tea
2pm Apple and Yogurt
**Track Meet---taking carrots. (May have a yogurt or steamed veggies when I get home)

I am not weighing in again until Friday morning, which will be day 12.

Day 7

Today...we didn't sleep well last night, babygirl was up and down all night with new teeth coming in the far back!

We were up for good at 7:30 a.m., so I made the husband and kiddies French Toast and berries. I had hot water and lemon while I cooked.
Then I made myself the apple french toast, without the toast, it is just so GOOOD!

I had Green tea about an hour later

Then I had a vanilla greek yogurt with this miracle 0 calorie, 0 carb, 0 far chocolate dip. Well, at least I thought it was miracle. It must be made with sugar alcohols because not long after I felt so bloated.

I had asparagus and tuna for lunch

Around 5pm I still wasn't hungry and still had stomach cramps...note to self: if it seems too good to be true, it is! Dang chocolate miracle dip.

I decided against dinner, just did Jillian's 30 Day Shred, and I had some water with lemon.

I am hoping this goes away before tomorrow morning...stay tuned! YIKES.

Day 6 & Forever 21

I HAVE LOST 5 POUNDS IN 5 DAYS...no joke!

I am starting my day out with hot water with lemon...
Apple French Toast, without the toast...

Green Tea--my k-cups came in and they are delish!

For lunch, Turkey Taco Salad, no shell.
Raspberry Yumberry Yogurt

Snack (around 2pm) berries

Dinner: Tuna and Steamed Veggies

p.m. Snack: carrot cake yogurt!

Now, with all this said, I was feeling really good about myself at Forever21 yesterday, so I'm going to bring in a bit of the RETAIL portion of this blog. I purchased these items:

Day 5

Well last night, I was out until after 9pm at the track meet. My girls did a great job! However, I got home and I wasn't even hungry! When I got to the meet, I had my second fruit-an apple and a hand full of carrots with two tablespoons of fat free ranch. I was amazed this held me over all night. My cravings are over---thank goodness!
So I got home, showered, drank some hot green tea, and passed out!

Day 5:
5am Hot Water with Lemon
6am Two scrambled eggs with onion, mushroom, and salsa
7am Hot Green Tea
930am Berries
11am Green Salad with Tuna
1:00pm Green tea
2:00pm Vanilla Chai Carbmaster Yogurt

*Here's where it gets tricky, I have another track meet tonight. I'll eat an apple when I get there, and take a yogurt and some carrots. Hopefully, that ties me over like it did last night.

I weigh-in tomorrow, so I'm interested to see the scale, since I had to definitely wear a belt with jeans I never usually do wear a belt with. I feel great, my skin looks clear, and I'm energized! This isn't so bad...only 12 more days until I can have oatmeal--YUM.

Day 4

I feel like my clothes are fitting much better this morning. I definitely give credit to both the 17 Day Diet and Jillian for this. I've never had this much will power (nor have I had to...as an avid runner, I never had to worry about this)...but I just want to lose that last 10 pounds I acquired while being in a boot due to my fractured foot.
My friend, Lindsey (I've mentioned her before) and I drive people nuts. Once we were getting ready to eat at FirstWatch...this amazing breakfast and brunch place near us. While we waited to be seated, we were looking over the menu trying to determine our healthy choices. Now, mind you, neither of us weighs even close to 110 pounds at this point. We got a death glare from the woman next to us. I wanted to yell, "It's okay to order healthy food!!" But we are ridiculous at times.

Anyway, for Day 4, here's what's on the menu:

6am Hot Water with Lemon
7am 3 small scrambled eggs, Green tea
9:15am Spiced Pear Yogurt (I'm excited to try this)
12:30pm Green Salad with tuna, Water
2:00pm berries, green tea
*I'm coaching a track meet tonight, so I'm not sure what I'll do for dinner...I'm thinking an egg white omelet with salsa, but we'll see.

Then back at it with Jillian tonight. The 20 minutes are killer, but oh-so-worth it.
