Recap: Week Two

Weight:  182 (down 6.5 pounds and 13.5 inches)

This week was much better.  I found myself having more energy, and just feeling "leaner."  I wasn't puffy when I woke up in the morning, and my fingers didn't hurt to bend.  I did have a number of headaches, but I'm almost certain they're unrelated to the diet - although I hope that eating this way will also lead to them disappearing over time.

As far as food went this week, I did not enjoy my soup or my casserole.  It's unfortunate when you cook for the whole week, and you decide on Monday that you don't like your food, that you are then stuck eating it all week.  I'm hoping for better choices this week.. but having tasted my casserole already I'm not sure this week will be a whole lot better.  It's so SPICY!  My tongue was burning from a little taste.. for hours after! Yikes!  The chili is cooking though, and it smells really yummy.

I don't think I had any slip-ups this week.  We ate out a couple times and I stuck with salad, the garden crasher, and cheeseless veggie pizza.  I even resisted my favourite Domino's Hawaiian pizza during our lunch and learn on Tuesday.  And it smelled sooooo good!

I'm hoping week three will go as well as this week went, and I'm hoping I'll continue to see the scale drop. It certainly is motivating to see the scale move so quickly AND feel better.  I'll let you know how it goes!

Stay tuned tomorrow for my food recap - hopefully it doesn't burn my guts!
