today was end of the first week, and I must say I am excited to have lost 8 pounds
Now I have dieted enough to know that often you loose the most amount the first week of a diet, but still I am very pleased. Oddly even though I am a carb addict and snack on stuff like pretzels and popcorn and love my wine I am really digging this diet. I needed the structure, with Weight Watches I could eat anything I wanted but it was so easy to go over on the portion size. This diet is very restricted and for some odd reason I am into it. The biggest thing that surprised me is I have discovered a taste for the 2% plain greek yogurt, which I would never have touched with a ten foot poll, but it is filling and I look forward to it each day. I drank decaf coffee every morning; with of all things cool whip in it, even though it was decaf that was the hardest thing to give up, I used to look forward to getting up in the morning so I could have it, now the thought of hot lemon water makes me want to sleep in
I plan to stay on this rigid plan until 2/5 when I go to New York for pet fashion week. I will try to eat smart while I am there but I am definitely going to have NY pizza and some wine
When I get back I will continue on again until my ski trip the first of March. I hate to admit it but I have about 40 lbs still to go........
