One Week Down!

Today was a much better day. I still wasn't super excited about breakfast, but I've never been much of a breakfast eater. I don't have much of an appetite first thing in the morning. But I made myself a cheese omelet and ate just over half of it, so that was fine.

Lunch was a big salad with baby spinach, chicken breast, cucumbers, green peppers, 15 almonds, and light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Very tasty.

About 3:00 I had a snack of a lite cheese stick and a sugar-free jello.

Dinner was tacos, and I made a taco salad with these layers: lettuce, left-over chili, cheese, sour cream, and then just a few corn chips on the top for crunch. I was looking at the bag of chips and I discovered that this brand is 100% white corn... the only ingredients are white corn, vegetable oil, and salt. No sugars. So, even though I'm not supposed to have corn during phase 1, I put just a few chips on top. And it was so good!

I did have a blatant cheat today, though. This morning I REALLY wanted coffee, but we didn't have any sugar-free creamer. So I just used the real stuff. But, I am planning on shopping tomorrow and I will have sugar-free creamer on my list, so it's all good.

I have not gotten any exercise these last few days, but I can tell I have so much energy. Today I played with Nathan ALL DAY LONG (he's in a very clingy stage these days!) and did laundry and dishes. Most days I feel really good until about 2:00 and then I just get so tired. But I have been sleeping so much better at night and I find that my energy level during the day has been higher too.

I am very anxious to weigh-in on Sunday. I actually thought about going by the church tomorrow morning just to weigh, because I started this diet on a Saturday so it would be a week. I wish I had a scale at home, but it's probably just as well that I don't. I think I would be one of those people who started weighing all the time, and I don't need one more thing to stress about. But hopefully I will be posting a good loss here soon!
