1 Week Down!

My 1 week report is 7-8 pounds lost! I have 2 different scales and one is in Stones/KG's so it's a bit confusing. I opted for a digital scale which gives me the news in pounds, even ounces. I'm feeling super motivated right now, and excited that I can alternate my days with veggies. However, I had a shocking revelation today and realized that well, I don't actually like vegetables as much as I should. Part of the reason that I'm on this diet. I need to learn to eat the things that are good for me and my body/health. So on my Protein/Veggie day 1 I had 2 salads (1 chicken, 1 steak), and made some great mock salad dressing with quark (FF sour cream), fresh salsa and some taco seasoning.

I made an attempt at cauliflower mock mashed potatoes and they pretty much tasted like cauliflower... which I've never liked. It stunk up the kitchen, and tasted even worse. So I learned that lesson... and I won't try it again. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone and try new things so in the next few days I'm going to attempt to make some swede and a few other things that I'm not sure I like yet. Just to keep things exciting and not so boring.

Last night, I had 2 "Dukan" Cream Cheese cupcakes that my friend made. They were so good, and they were purple so naturally I had to have 2, so the Ravens would win. Boy did I feel like crap! Nauseated. Egg, FF Cream cheese & Splenda overload! It was a nice and "legal" treat and I did have the other one today without incident.

I'm back to work tomorrow so I should be in bed now... Goodnight!
