I'm looking forward to this evening and really enjoying the added items for phase II. As I type there's a roast with carrots, tomatoes, and onion in my crockpot at home. I don't know how I'm going to exercise before dinner with the house smelling so good!
I'm proud to say I haven't added back in diet soda. For a treat I might have the occasional Sprite Zero, but this is a very big deal!! Before I started doing all of this I had quite the diet Dr. Pepper addiction. The only caffeine I've added back is my morning cup of coffee. And going 9 days without it.....I feel like I could do laps around the block after drinking it! Because of this I'm considering cutting it out all together and moving to decaf.
Here's my day today:
Breakfast: 1 cup of cereal with 1/2 cup skim milk and a banana.
Snack: Yogurt
Lunch: Beans and Rice, Orange
Snack: Apple
Dinner: 4oz. of roast, cooked carrots, and steamed veggies
**Lots of water and 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer.
On another note, I'm worried and excited about tomorrow. My friend's Dad is having his annual shrimp/crab boil and I've been invited. It's an all afternoon affair with a self serve margarita machine, lots of yummy food, and cake. I haven't cheated since I started this diet, but tomorrow could ruin that. I can pass on cake, but margaritas are another story. Crab and shrimp in moderation will be okay. I'm thinking about bringing a veggie tray to snack on!
