Wednesday was ok for me, I was proud of myself! I didn't get on the scale yesterday morning as I was petrified to do so, my starting point will have to be in my head!

4:30am - protein drink
6:00am - cheese stick
9:30am - (2) egg white/cheese stick omelette with mushrooms, onions, broccoli & spinach
2:00pm - one veggie burger with lettuce and pickles, balsamic vinaigrette
5:30pm - pork chop (gosh that was really good), i breaded it after marinating it in fat free italian dressing and i sprayed it with non-stick cooking spray and baked it, it crisped up nicely and was quite delicious!
7:30-8:30pm - (2) sugar free ice popsicles

Do i think i could do better, yes i do but at least i'm getting the sugar thing under control and I will worry about portion control at a later date! I think having a plan of action/attack is the answer. I have to exercise more, but i'm exhausted when i get home. I may have to bring my sneakers to work and walk at work during my lunch hour (i don't usually take one but maybe it's time to do that)

Your day?  Did you stick to it...in full or in part?  Do tell...even small improvements are huge!  I have decided NOT to do the 5dpt cause I fully believe that it's not a sustainable diet...I did it before and yes I lost a few lbs that came right back BUT I did not notice any change in the feeling of the pouch as advertised.  I would rather just try to make changes in "regular" eating.

I was reading about "water loading" yesterday and am gonna try that.  Although I have not been successful so far today cause I work in a courtroom so I cant just get up during trial and use the restroom and also once the hearing starts I can't leave to refill...have to work that out.

So, I did well yesterday...stuck to it...made my protein and calorie goal even worked out!

Let's do this together...check in later, ok?

i start for real tomorrow and i'm rather excited because i'm eating anything not nailed down. ANDI

Hi Andi, Trish

I've decided to join you 'in part'.  That is, I ate my way through yesterday - cookies, candy,

So today I'm on a plain eating plan - back to basics kind of thing.  This morning I'm having greek yoghurt (Fage) with frozen raspberries and a drizzle of honey - 300 cals or there abouts.  Now I need to not keep dipping into the cookie tin at work, eat what I have planned for lunch and make my way through the evening.

I'll check in later to see how you guys are doing

Hey Andi,

Sorry did not log on in time....yes, I have been thinking about doing the 5 day pouch test again...when do you want to start?  Or did you start today (Monday?)...if so I can start tomorrow...let me know.

I really feel like I have been eating way too mu*****uantity so this might be a good idea.
