Weight: -1.0
I’ve lost another pound. I get so nervous now stepping on
the scale.. Lyn says we should look at the number as just scientific data but
now I’m spoiled stepping on the scale and losing 2 pounds every morning. It’s
like a dream and I’m terrified it will come to a screeching halt like all of my
other diets.
I’m so relieved to be done with the “Cleanse” phase of this
diet. It is nice to know I have the three days in my back pocket just in case
my eating gets out of whack again though. Now onto “The Testing Phase” where
we’re supposed to slowly work our way through potential reactive foods. I’ve
been waiting for this day for what seems like forever. Today we test my
favorite food.. CHEESE! (And coffee, red wine, and chocolate.) This completely
confuses me because if you are reactive on the scale how the hell are you going
to figure out what you’re reactive to with 4 new things? Confusion. Fingers
crossed I’m just not reactive, period.
My lunch is the best, combining my favorite roasted veggies
from dinner last night with goat cheese sprinkled on top. I’m so nervous that
I’ll be reactive to cheese so I go very lightly on the cheese so that it
doesn’t impede weight loss. Everything seemed fine after eating though so
that’s a good sign!
For dinner, I think I did a tinsy bit better this time with
the broccoli. I loved the idea of using red pepper flakes- it make the taste
much more bearable. I still refuse to say I enjoy eating it though.
As if cheese wasn’t a big enough present for surviving the
three days of veggie death, I also get to have a small piece of dark chocolate.
Delightful. (I decide to skip the red wine for now.. since I’m not a huge
drinker to begin with.)
Feeling so much better today.
