Day 5

I'm down a bit more again today (0.4 lbs) and Wayne lost a bit as well. I put cool little charts at the bottom of the page to show our daily progress, or at least the days we will weigh ourselves!

Today I stayed within my carb limits, but I think I may have overdone it a bit on the protein. I had a LOT of it, starting with another protein shake. I had chicken for lunch (with tomatoes, mozzarella and gorgonzola... yum!!!). Dinner was at an office party, and the food was all Israeli (the director of the department is from there). Wayne and I had chicken and beef shwarma (sp?) and a tasty salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. I'm going to have to find a recipe for the shwarma because it was delicious! The salad was also good, and we made something similar when we got home.

Tomorrow I have a book club meeting at my house, and I'm making a nice low-carb spread for everyone to nosh on while we chat. I think this is going to be the menu:

  • Breakfast casserole (I'll post the recipe)
  • Cheese cubes
  • Sausage bits (Salvadoran chorizo, cooked and cut up)
  • Veggie platter (green pepper, cucumber, grape tomatoes, broccoli)
  • Veggie cream cheese spread (it's the pre-made whipped cream cheese with veggies in it)
  • Strawberries
  • Blackberries
One of my friends offered to bring something, but last time she brought the most delicious (devious!) homemade brownies I've ever tasted. I don't think I'm at the point where I can resist that sort of temptation, yet!!
