So, my 2nd official weigh-in was last week, and I was down 4.8 lbs. from last week! It was very, very shocking - but I was very, very happy.
This weekend I went for coffee with my friend, Erik, and I enjoyed a Starbucks Tall nonfat Toffee Nut Latte (with whip), and (gulp!) one of their new Chocolate Peanut Butter Stacks. Unless you have seen one of these in person, I cannot adequately explain how mesmerizing it looks in the tray, and how delicious it tastes! But I was allowed: as part of the plan, once or twice a week I am to enjoy a "food that I adore". Simply, you eat something that you LOVE the taste of.
The bad part was that the next day I went to Starbucks again and got the same exact thing. So, I figure, that's the "twice a week" part. Ack! It didn't seem to affect my weigh-in, but it did affect me in other ways. The caffeine was almost too much for me to handle. That, combined with the sugar, served to make me extremely hyper. Which I guess is okay, if you only "do it" once or twice a week.
Anyways, I'm back doing the program this morning, eating my eggs and whole wheat fajita-style tortilla with some fresh salsa (note the use of the word "fresh", I will no longer buy those unrefridgerated room-temperature salsas... too much sugar!). And I've eaten two apples, and in a couple of minutes, I'll need to make my turkey sandwich.
So, I'm off to a great start, I think. I doubt I will be able to maintain a 7 lbs/2 weeks loss-rate, but if I can continue downward I can certainly continue on plan!
