| Orange glazed ginger chicken w/spinach |
To start off I am drinking my second protein shake of the day, and imagining a nice big steak with mash potatoes! Even though my stomach is not growling and I seem to be content. I have already had two cups of tea this morning (you can drink as much tea throughout the morning as you like w/ no sugar! you can use stevia sweetner which is an organic sweetner) while I have been studying for my up coming exams, and worrying about how I am going to get my essay's edited. Yesterday for lunch I had a delicious savory chicken soup with celery, and for dinner I had orange glazed ginger chicken with spinach! I absolutely love love love spinach and was happy to see that it was a veggy I could choose from. These recipes are so easy to do and most of the spices I already owned anyway. They taste really good as well. Now that I think of it I had to make myself eat lunch yesterday because I was not hungry at all! I looked up from the computer around 12 and noticed I had passed my scheduled lunch time. On my way home lastnight I drove past 4 different fast food places and each and everyone I wanted to stop in and buy something to eat! I almost talked myself into thinking it was ok to buy subway. This is around 730-800 pm, on the diet you are not suppose to eat anything after 6. So that was a no go, pretty proud of myself for being able to over come my stomach talking to me! And boy does she talk to me! When I got home I weighed out my beef and shrimp protein, did my HCG drops then took my last shake before studying some more. I had a slight headache last night while laying in bed could not sleep so I planned out my meals for today. I will say that I was very excited to wake up and weigh myself in the morning. This morning I stepped on the scale and I am at 207.00 lbs. I lost 1.1 lbs since yesterday, in total I've lost 4.1 pounds in three days! If that isnt going to make anyone wanting to lose weight dance around in happiness, I dont know what is! I am wondering if the chicken broth I used yesterday for my lunch is the reason why I only dropped 1.1 lbs. It was fat free but had over 550mg of salt in one serving! I made the mistake of not diluting it with water while it was cooking. I did not realize that was to much salt until after I was finished and looked at the label. Now dont get me wrong! I think 1.1 lbs is great in one day, it was just me wondering out loud and writing it down. I will be posting the recipes for the meals I make, and showing pictures as well!
