Day 9.....still going strong.....

Other than my monthly bump in the road,  I gained 3 tenths from the day before, but that's what I blame it on. I ate the same as normal, so not sure. Tomorrow hopefully will tell, or it might take a day or two.
Anyway, here is day 9...(sorry it's late in the day)

brkfst-2 fried eggs
peach and saved the yogart for mid-morning when I needed it.

Lunch- tuna (celery and a squirt of light mayo) and a small tomatoe

Supper-turkey vegetable soup (instead of chicken) and green beans

Again, I haven't done well with exercise this week. It's been busy. Ariel either got bit by something or something stung her, not sure, but went to the Dr. yesterday. It's looking better.
I'm am taking vitamins also. Started the Omega-3 yesterday. So, I just need to do better with my walking..It's getting close to moving onto the next phase of this diet, so I'd better get to reading my book. Have a Blessed day!

Lean Beef Patties....simple and good!

I have been making these prior to starting on the 17 day diet! It's simple!

I use lean beef and make patties-however many you want
1 can 99% fat free cream of chicken (or you can use the mushroom as well) soup
1 can water

Lay your patties in a oven-proof pan. Mix the soup with the water. Pour this over the patties. You can add seasoning if you want. Sometimes I put a packet of onion soup mix over it or lemon pepper.
Bake until done! I cook mine on low and slow through-out the day or 350 for a quicker meal!
The meat is very tender and you have gravy as well. (from the soup)

Day 8...still going strong, but yet weak! LOL

And so, I have these wonderful neighbors who keep watch while we are gone and keep up with my crazy cat, they are GREAT people. I decided to bake some cookies for them. I LOVE cookies and I knew the temptation would be tuff, but what the heck, maybe 1 cookie wont hurt! AND it DIDN'T hurt me! I weighed this morning and down 5 pounds and something.....
so, Brkfst- 2 fried eggs and a yummy peach

Lunch-I only had my yogart since I sneaked in a cookie and some cookie dough! :)

Supper- Lean beef pattie with cr. of chicken (99% fat free) BAKED
yummy green beans with sauted onions (these were delicious)
yogart
I am still drinking tons of water through-out the day!

Have a blessed day!

Day 7....Eating right!

Sunday was a pretty good diet day! I stuck a turkey breast in the oven right before we walked out the door for Church...(and the preacher preached longer and I panicked it would burn!) LOL
So, here we go!
Brkfst-
2 eggs (fried in extra virgin olive oil) AND they were yummy!
peach

Lunch- Turkey breast
green beans seasoned with onion
apple
yogart

Supper-
turkey (with fat free spray butter)
green beans-yes again!
yogart for snack
....and weighing in this morning, we both did lose!
So, it was a VERY Blessed Sunday lunch and we done really good. We have been adding in a 40 calorie sugar free vanilla pudding if we get a little hungry in between meals. But, Sunday, I never felt the urge to grab one! So, that's good.
It's raining here in East Texas today or shall I say drizzling! So, everyone have a very Blessed Monday!

Grafitti Picture.....

So, my dear sweet daughter loves playing with her photos as well and here is what she done!

I think it looks awesome....Now, lets hope she don't start doing grafitti! LOL...

Love her!

Day 6...a new healthy way of eating....

I feel like now it's not a diet, but just a healthy way of eating...so, here we go. With day 6 being a Saturday, we had to travel and pick-up our camper out of town, so that means at least 1 meal on the road! (and by the way, the book does have chapters on Surviving Holidays, On the Road and shift work on the 17 day diet, and dining out)

So, we like Chedders and was just going to eat the Salad, but the grilled chicken had pecans and we voted for the Vegetable plate. It was a salad and sides.

Brkfst- 2 boiled eggs
yougart and strawberries

Lunch-tuna, celery, tomatoe and small squirt of mayo light
Apple

Supper- (my bad, I guess)
Chedders-Salad with fat free dressing
Green beans, carrots and steamed brocolli
Carrots were sweet! Green beans were GREAT!
So, I didn't get my 2nd helping of yogart in because I wasn't hungry. But when I weighed this  morning, I was the EXACT same as yesterday. So, I'm sure there were more sugars in the carrots and green beans than I should have had. Anyway, at least there was NO gain either.
Here's to a very Blessed Sunday!

Day 5....Diet

Wow, it has been a quick week or at least it seems like it flew bye fast. So, her is what I've done for day 5. I am down 4.2 pounds and my daughter is down 4.6 pounds. We did have a Birthday party last night and we both managed to have 3 bites of cake, but weighing this morning, we still lost! (the books tells if you really get a craving for sweets....blah blah blah, to eat 3 bites of the food and be done! So, we DID!

Brkfst-yogart and a peach

Lunch-tuna w/ celery, egg and small squirt of mayo light
apple

Supper- Chicken breast marinated in fat-free italian dressing (baked in over with foil on top) very juicy and good taste
salad with celery and tomatoes and fat free Catalina dressing
snack was yogart and 3 bites of cake....LOL
Once again, I was feeling bad yesterday and didn't get my 17 min. of exercise in...:(
Hopefully going to do better today with that. Have a Blessed day and weekend! Praying for all those along the East Coast in the path of the Hurricane!
