Days 7 & 8. Better, but not perfect.

On Day 7 (Friday) I only cheated a little, and (I thought) safely. 

About 10am I had my lunch carb (1 rice cake) because I had a headache, and wanted to take some ibuprofen.  Having tried taking ibuprofen on an empty stomach before, I decided it was better to just eat my carb early.  So I did.

Lunch: 

unremarkable (I forgot to blog about it last night, but I know I was good)

Dinner:

unremarkable (see above.)

evening snack:  hungry as hell, so I ate about 15 little grape tomatoes, thinking that would hopefully fill me up and be a fair splurge.

Morning of Day 7 (the day after the tortilla chips):  164.2lbs

Morning of Day 8 (the day after eating a morning carb and a bunch of little tomatoes):  164.1lbs.

 

I guess they really have this damned diet down to a science.  I need to just quit cheating, because I was dropping about a pound and a half per day before that.

 

Day 8:

Weight check in a.m.:  164.1lbs

a.m.  Five-Hour Energy.  Doc said not to, but I was really feeling sluggish, so I did anyway. 

Lunch: 

3.5oz  buffalo burger
1/2 cup mushrooms on top of it.

Wasn’t terribly hungry (presumably because of the 5-Hour Energy) so I decided to put off my carb and fruit until I felt like I needed it.

Dinner:

I skipped dinner.  I ate my lunch carb (10 pretzels) around 4pm, then my lunch fruit (1/2 pear) around 7:30pm.

I’m in bed now.  I better have lost some weight tomorrow morning or I’m going to feel like this is for naught!
