5 day plan how are we doing?

So I'm coming to the end of my day three - it's been tough, but hopefully worth it. I've eaten protein shakes tuna and eggs, and I had a few raisins and bites of cucumber. Plus LOTS of water. I've got a cold at the moment, so probably not the best time to do this, so have been VERY tired, and still have a headache, but that could be down to having a late night last night (I was out working - no NOT what you are thinking ha ha) and the stress I'm dealing with rather than the lack of food. Looking forward to ground beef tomorrow - Bobbie, what have you been eating today? I was thinking of having chilli, what do you think? Piddles (AKA Andi ), how are you doing on day 3? Only a few days to go girls, we are on the downward slope - almost there, we can do it. I'm down 4 pounds ( and counting hopefully)

Ruth, I may try the protein shakes for the weekend, you know....small goals, and see how it goes!!! I wasn't very good today, snacked off and on on a cinnamon muffin that my son baked. We had Burger King for dinner, but they don't make chili anymore, so I was good and didn't order anything for myself, but came home and made a Lean Cuisene Panini sandwich. They are delicious. I'll let you know how I make out this weekend. Amy

Good for you Any, making right choices - it's not always easy is it Mindyou, Panini sound smuch mroe tasty than BUrger King anyday! Good luck if you do the protein shakes for the weekend. Once I'm through this I may do the odd weekend of shakes when I need that extra push again. Oh that cinnamon muffin sounds soooooo good - and after all your son did bake it.....

Yes, I know. A mom must make that sacrifice and taste anything that her son makes. My other son is making clam chowder today. I'm in trouble..... Amy

Ruth, Can you tell me what the 5 day plan is? I guess I missed it...or send me the link? Thanks, Trish

Yay it's day 5 for me For breakfast I had a shake again, I just didn't feel too hungry. For lunch I had chicken and cheese rolled up together, it was so good! lol I am presently thinking of what to have for dinner, and I plan on having at least another shake. I'm glad I got back on the shakes, I had forgotten how much they help me. Way to go on the 4 pounds Ruth that's awesome! I think chilli is a great idea...lots of protein and way yummy! Only a few days left for you, YAY! I hope you're feeling better really soon.

YAY Bobbie - you got there! Well done with sticking it out. Will you do it again do you think? How much weight have you lost? Any wisdom with hindsight?

I think i'm going to start this again at another time. Really i'm just not concentrating on myself. I'm psyched about the 3.lb loss and that makes me feel great but I can't do the softs versus hard protein i have no idea what to eat. I really need to read that article better so I "get" it. Andi

I picked the easy route for me - not sure if I was supposed to I had protein shakes & water for days 1 & 2, tuna & eggs & protein shakes for day 3, chilli & protein shakes for day 4 and chicken & protein shakes for day 5. That's it, no sauces or anything added, oh and a few raisins in between to 'snack' on - like 5 or so each day. If I had introduced any more food I would have ended up falling off the wagon. You'll 'get it' when you need to Andi. Or just do he first two days every so often?
