R2P2D11 -1.0 (-8.6 total since start weight)

That's what I'm talking about! Down another pound.

Doing okay this round. Though I don't recommend it, I'm enjoying the occasional beverage and, if I drink extra water (beyond my typical 100oz each day), I haven't gained. I'll stall...but no gain. I can only think that my metabolism has truly changed...and this thrills me to no end!

Now, that's not a license to start eating poorly again...but at least a couple of tortilla chips or a glass of champagne/skinny-rita will not croak me. Color. Me. Happy!

Looking forward to the weekend...no boat (too chilly), but I will have my honey around...so that truly is all that matters. Albondigas Soup (recipe below) is on the menu tonight.

Eat and be well,

Jane Doh!

Arghhhhh...if only mother nature would do her thing! Haven't "gone" (if you get my drift) in at least two full days...I. Am. Not. Comfortable.

Think I'll head to Char-bucks to do a little work and drink a giant, black java...that should move things along (one can only hope).

Eat and be well,

Jane Doh!

R2P2D7 -1.3 (-7.9 total since start weight)

I have the hungry horrors right now...argh. Just gnawed on a melba toast...and am powering back yet another 25oz of H2O...still feeling peckish, but I won't give in.

Will be having a late dinner with my honey tonight...baked chicken with herbs de provence and a chopped salad of toms, cukes, radishes, celery and onion. Looking forward to that...perhaps I should eat my second fruit to ward off any potential cheating. Hmmmm, that sounds like a good plan.

Pink lady here I come!

Eat and be well,

Bringing the boat up...nothing but clean eating, but no weigh-in tomorrow. I will post on Monday, day 7.

R2P2D4 -1.0 (-5.4 total since start weight)

Called that...lost a pound this morning.

Today is launch day...woo-hoo...let the 2011 boating season begin.

Trying to plan meals for a Saturday overnight on the vessel Ambience. I'm good (salad type fixings and some cooked chix)...my honey's food, on the other hand, a whole different matter.

I'm thinking he can have breakfast at home and I'll bring the following:

Sat. lunch:

3oz cooked chix/cukes/radishes/toms (me)
Pearl hot dog/cukes/radishes/toms (him)

Sat. snack:
2 apples (me & him)

Sat. dinner:
95% burgers rimmed with coarse ground pepper
grilled asparagus
Cantaloupe (me & him...I know, not allowed, but too bad...it is amazing right now!)

Sun. breakfast
Black coffee in the French press

Yep...that'll work.

Eat and be well,

Jane Doh!

R2P2D3 -2.2 (-4.4 total since start weight)

...and this despite a cheat...cantaloupe...Athena melons are in season...yes, I am a weak person!

Another day...another pound, per chance?

P2 Meal Idea...Spiced Beef & Veg

Okay...this is yummy.

Spiced Beef & Veg

100g 95% ground hamburg
1/4 cup minced onion
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp. CMTaco spice blend (see below)
1 tbl. Water
Sliced cucumber/lettuce leaves

Heat water in a nonstick pan over high heat. Add onion and soften (about 2 minutes). Add spice blend and toss with onion until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add meat and brown until no pink (about 2 minutes). Fold in spinach. Season to taste. Serve with slice cucumber on side and/or with lettuce leaves to use as "taco" shells.

CMTaco Spice

2 tbl. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. dried oregano
1.5 tsp. paprika
3 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Mix together and store in airtight spice jar. NOTE: be sure to check that no added sugars are in any of the above spices...Morton & Bassett is a great brand.

Eat and be well!
