6 pounds down, total of 6 inches lost.
Walking almost every day with the hubster, too – about 2 miles.

So far I’m doing pretty well. My body’s finally responding appropriately to my new eating habits & exercise. Got an ego boost as well – it’s always important to feel some success for me – I tend to get discouraged easily and tend to give up. I know I have made a commitment to check in on this blog every so often so I’m a bit less likely to stray.

Oh, and the picture is my usual lunch. This diet requires eating massive amounts of protein (for me) and eggs have always been my fall-back when I don’t want to shove 8 oz of chicken down my throat. This is a Tomato-Zucchini omelette with sprouts on top. I add some Mrs. Dash Tomato/Basil/Garlic seasoning when scrambling the eggs and it makes for a rather tasty omelette. Add some toast w/ some light butter & it’s a meal!

I’ve pinpointed it to 3 things:

• Stress: due to the 15-ton 35+ foot 100 year old tree that fell in our yard and has been hovering over our neighbor’s house since Monday morning
• PMS: self-explanatory
• Cheerios: I never realized Cheerios has sugar as it’s 3rd ingredient. Crud

I spent a little time wallowing in my self-pity for gaining back those 3.25 pounds, but I’m not going to give up in my first week…
