Hello, good morning(ish)
I'm having a late start to my day. I slept later than I expected, (Not complaining, but I did miss the first period of the Women's Canada vs USA Olympic hockey game). I'm now on my 3rd cup of coffee but I only just finished shovelling my scrambled eggs into my mouth. Have I told you how sick I am of eggs? I'm not sure what I am hating most, eating them or cooking them. Not that it matters, my body agrees with them and eating them seems to help me reach my goals. So it looks like I'll be eating eggs for the rest of my life. I personally don't buy into the eggs being bad for you because of cholesterol story. I think eggs are so nutritionally dense that 2 eggs a day HAS to be good for you. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Besides anything that grosses me out as much as eggs do- has to be good for me. I wish potato chips were nutritionally dense. I could easily find away to force myself to eat those every day -even in the mornings.
Anyways, looks like my fish out of a cardboard box has indeed affected my scale results this morning. No big deal- I feel confident is just a little water retention due to the high sodium. I'm sure everything will level out in the next couple days so long as I continue to eat 'clean'.
Day 1 Day2 Day3
Weight 161.6 160.4 161.0
Bf % 36.7 36.6
BFLBS 58.9 58.9
H2O% 46.2 46.2
H2OLBS 74.1 74.4
Not much change in my other numbers. Not that I put a lot of stock in the accuracy of my scale.
So anyways, time to get on with my day. I have lots of 'work' to do. I'll be back later to update you with the exciting list of what goes into my mouth.

So the day rolls on. I've been working away at my computer the past few hours. and boy, I can feel it right in between my shoulder blades.
Lunch was salad with cucumber and some cheddar cheese.
Here's my take on cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese is not a Poon-friendly food. There are cheese options available at the Low-carb Grocery and the ONS. They are slightly on the expensive side, but overall they are okay. They have less fat in them which is what makes them appropriate for this diet. I think when you diet as much as I have over the years you sort of start to get a sense of what you can 'get away with' and what you can't in terms of losing weight or maintain weight-loss. For me, I can get away with a little bit of cheese. I do keep my portions small. I am mindful of the amount I use. I like to buy old cheddar because the strong flavor means I get more taste in a smaller portion. This is not to say that I would not do better on this diet plan if I cut out regular cheese and only used the Allegro cheese from the ONS. In fact I am sure that I would. I am sure that following this diet to the letter would ensure huge amounts of weightloss. But I also know myself, and I know what my limits are in terms of how much I am willing to 'give up' and 'change' and how far I can 'bend' the rules and still see results. So for now, a small amount of old cheddar is still considered to be 'on track' in my books. For you, it may not be. Now cheese curds, gravy and French fries, sadly, this is a combination I cannot get away with. But a little bit of cheese on my tossed salad at lunch... well, I give it a pass.
Breakfast- 2 eggs scrambled
Lunch-tossed salad, cheddar cheese 2 tbsp. olive oil dressing
Diet coke
Snack- turkey meat
Dinner -breaded beef strips and coleslaw
So as you can see, dinner was a 'failure', as it was again, out of a cardstock box. It was highly processed and breaded, fried in a factory, and then baked in my oven. To add to the lack of nutrition, it comes with a packet of Szechuan sauce to smother it in. The alternative, was to have macaroni with my husband. He LOVES pasta. Fortunately for me I don't enjoy pasta in the least, so I don't miss it in anyway.
That's it for the day- I'm done with the computer. I'm done with the kitchen. I'm thinking, bed .
Good night, eat right
