Note on pict: last night's dinner just took three ingredients. You can buy these tuna packages in different flavors at your store. They cost about $2.19. I throw the whole package in the oven for about 10 minutes while its pre-heating to 350 and then drizzle the whole thing, juice and all, over freshly made brown rice. It's an easy, tasty, nutritious, high-protein, low calorie meal.

1/3 cup of freshly cooked green beans 30, 3/4 cup of brown rice 126. 1 package of specialty tuna 140 total: 296

I Hit the Five Pound Mark

This post is not so much informational as it is just me expressing on my diet blog the little bit of excitement I feel at having lost five pounds. Actually what I'm sharing with you all now, is similar to what I might write in my food diary. I always used my food diary to express my weight loss goals and feelings associated with them.

I'm excited because I've lost five pounds in 11 days. I have three more days till day 14. I'm hoping to drop another pound by Monday. That will make it six pounds in two weeks. I am soooo determined to NOT mess up this weekend, so I can skate in on Monday...one pound less.

Also, allow me to speculate on the future. At this rate, I could very well lose 2 pounds a week over the next two weeks. So, hear, me now...I could be looking at a 10 pound drop in four weeks.

I'll have to admit it to you all. I think I may very well be doing better than I would have done if I hadn't started this blog. Maybe it has something to do with wanting to be a good role model...I don't really feel pressure, but I feel like I'm being a lot more nit-picky about everything I eat.

So, that's my little sharing time with you all. Five pounds in 11 days. Now I'm shooting for the next five to be gone by the end of my fourth week.
