P2 : DAY 16 : INJ 16 : 143.4 : (-10.6)

Ok so, sorry I haven't put anything up for 2 days but here's what happened...
I weighed Friday and I was 145.8 which was a gain of 1.4 from the previous day. I did weight 3 hours earlier than the day before and was supposed to be starting TOM (which didn't come until today) When I weighed yesterday I was still 145.8 so I did an apple day. Which was fine with me because my apples are now the favorite food part of the day.

As for my opinion on the argument...it's a new snack that I've never had before without being covered in vanilla ice cream, caramel and sugary granola. Not that I had apple crisp all that often before...maybe 5 times in my life. It's not so much a sweet craving for me as it is a cinnamon craving, and the fact that it's about 10 degrees outside and it's a warm, healthy snack that I will probably have ev en after I'm done with P3. Plus it takes 30 minutes to bake so it puts more time between my breadstick and my lunch or dinner.
I will also make sure that it's a regular healthy snack for Laiken when she's older. It's something very simple that I had never thought to make before. I don't ever crave sweet foods only salty. If I do eat something sweet it's because it's right in front of me, then I have to immediately follow with something that's salty. Must be a family thing. I agree with Susan about the sweetener on the strawberries when they're being eaten whole, by themselves....they're just so incredibly sweet as it is. I think it's better to keep it reserved for when you're making a strawberry smoothie or something Not to start another argument...

ANYHOO!!
I'm down 1.6 after my apple day, plus TOM is here so maybe if I wasn't so bloated it would be less...guess I'll find out in 5 days or so!! I'm wearing a few pairs of undies that my love handles used to bulge out over...BIG MILESTONE FOR ME! Oh and I have to wear a belt now with the Jeans Grandma got me for christmas. Love handles also bulged out over those when I got them.

I've been enjoying my flavored coffees. Millstone makes some delicious varieties that I will probably still drink after this diet because the less creamer..the better! And I don't need it with swiss chocolate almond or vanilly flavored coffee!

So I had coffee today and a breadstick. I'll have an apple in about an hour.

  2. Lindsey, I agree that fresh strawberries are delicious without any help, but I was sweetening the frozen kind that I thawed. After they are frozen, they have a "funky" taste in my opinion. Glad your apple day helped. TOM should be visiting me soon too. ARGH!!

  3. Point taken...I don't think I would buy the frozen ones if they taste weird. If you go to a bigger store you can get better strawberries. I got some from the nasty store down the street and it took me 30 minutes to pick out the ones that were LEAST bruised. Plus most of them were the size of soft balls which makes them less sweet tasting

  4. The frozen ones are great for smoothies, but I don't care for them by themselves.

  5. I'm just excited that your clothes are getting too big, so I can borrow what doesn't fit you anymore...LOL

  6. It feels great when your cloths fit the way they should. I had a pair of jeans I loved the way they fit. I lost weight with HCG and now they are too baggy to look good. (I am not complaining) My love handles no longer hang over the side either. Yeah !!!
    I found the sentence about wearing a few pairs of undies interesting. I hope you only wear one pair at a time. If not that could be why loves handles are bulging. LOL
    (I am sorry, I never thought I would be posting comment on someone's undies.) I guess there's a first for everything.
    It looks like you are doing great with 10 lbs in 16 days. Keep up the good work. I am only six days ahead of you.
