Today felt better. But eating plain lunchmeat for lunch is still weird. So, tonight I made some extra shrimp with dinner so that I can take it for lunch tomorrow.
This morning I tried a great recipe from the friend who suggested the diet to me (thanks, Marisa!) - a recipe for oatbran pancakes:
1 egg
2 Tablespoons yogurt (I used plain Fage - she uses vanilla Chobani)
1.5 Tablespoons oat bran
Splash of vanilla (since my yogurt was plain)
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of Splenda.
Just whisk together and cook in a greased pan. :) Tomorrow I'll need to use a smaller pan to make a few smaller pancakes. SO good. They taste like french toast pancakes. SO good.
Anyway - here's what today's menu was:
Breakfast -- oat bran pancake, 1 poached egg
Lunch -- chicken (lunchmeat - carving board style), cottage cheese
Dinner -- "surf & turf": broiled steak, shrimp scampi (sauteed in lemon juice, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, & Old Bay spice)
I also had 5 (?maybe six -- I can't remember how many times I refilled) bottles of water (they're 24 ounces each).
Here's a look at tonight's dinner:
I'll try to remember to take a photo of the pancakes in the morning... :)
As for how it's going weight-loss-wise - this morning I was 2.4 pounds lighter than yesterday morning. So - that's promising. I know that a lot of the weight this week will probably be water weight - but it does provide a bit of a confidence booster to know that I can keep with it and drop 6 pounds in a week.
Until next time (tomorrow?) - happy dieting!
