Day 5 Ideal Protein Diet
So I unofficially lost another pound...
I say "Unofficially" because of what my coach said about only using his scale...
I think it is OK to celebrate small victories on the scale. ESPECIALLY when it's taken 6 years to see this kind of progress. I mean, for 6 years I was REALLY good at moving the numbers...just, never in a downward direction!!
With that said...Day 5. Is it really day 5? Maybe it's really more like day 3 without cheats...but I guess it's 5 days since I had bad food.
So here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: 6:30-7:30am - 1 IP chocolate shake (with ice today, so it lasted longer and it was GOOD)
Celery around 9:30, just because
Lunch: (11:30/12) Lettuce with 5 cucumber slices, 4 pepper slices, WF Italian dressing and 1 cup of brussel sprouts and IP Chicken Noodle Soup
The rest of the celery around 1:30 just because I wanted to crunch on something.
Snack: 3:45 Double chocolate Chocolate bar
Dinner: 7:00pm - 7oz shrimp with lemon pepper seasoning, sea salt and some onion, 1/2 cup of mashed cauliflower and 3/4 c steamed broccoli (since I had the extra celery I cut back my evening veggies...
I had 2.5L of water today, about 20oz of my seltzer creation and I'm currently sipping on about 12oz of my seltzer creation because I wanted something sweet and quenching and water wasn't doing it for me.
I don't recall going to the bathroom as much today. I think I went about 5 times but I was also running around at work so I was forced to space out my potty visits today. Actually, no...thinking about it...I went 3 or 4 times in my building and 3 times in the plant. Wow. I didn't go this much when I was pregnant and I was drinking the same amount of water!!!
I went down to the gym to weigh in, since I was doing a weight challenge down there before all of this started. I'm down 2.5lbs since this time last month. I had gained a little just after Christmas and then lost a little and then gained a little by the time I weighed in on Thursday so that sorta jives with my 3lb loss.
So here I am on day 5. I've lost 3lbs which has usually taken me 1.5 months. If this holds...if I can get passed this weight I will believe that this diet is working. I'm still skeptical because I am losing weight that I've already lost and gained a few times in the last few months.
I'm just really excited to see how this diet impacts my blood work. I think that will be more rewarding to me than the scale.
Til tomorrow!
