I did it! I did it! I only ate 1/2 serving of creme brulee every day for four days. I'll admit, I was very tempted last night to have a second serving. Then, the temptation came again in the middle of the night (since it would technically be today). But, I was able to resist and stick to my plan of only having it in moderation as it fits into my calorie range! PTL for the victory!
Weight still the same as yesterday, which is fine with me. Yesterday's calories 1,480, fiber 22.2g. Fruits/veggies: butter beans, watermelon, cantaloupe and cherries.
Changed my menu for the end part of this week because my daughter agreed to cook a large pork roast and give us half, which I'll get tomorrow. She marinades it and cooks it in apple cider, beef stock, brewed coffee and some other ingredients. Doesn't SOUND all that great, but it is delicious! My husband doesn't want to eat it any other way since he tried hers. So, on Saturday, instead of having a Mushroom Swiss burger, we will be having pork roast, sauerkraut (seasoned with bacon grease), mashed potatoes and cooked carrots.
After we eat the roast for a couple of days, my husband will make BBQ out of the rest, and I'll make Chick-fil-A Coleslaw. Still going to have the Bacon & Tomato Sandwiches on Sunday, because I have two tomatoes that I need to use.
I've now lost over 15 pounds in 8 weeks. It seems very slow to me, but I know that 1-2 pounds a week is what doctors recommend for optimal and sustainable weight loss. Other benefits, for 8 weeks I have eaten fruits and vegetables every day, I have drunk at least a half gallon of water a day (64oz), I have limited my Diet Coke to 3 cans a day. Maybe someday I'll be able to give up the Diet Coke completely, but it won't be today. I'm just pleased that I've been able to sustain the reduction from my 2+ liters a day habit.
All is well. Hope it is going well for you, too!
