One down five to go

Steven and I have started off the new year with a bang also known as a diet. We are doing a six week diet program that our friend Chris is using for the boot camp weight loss program he runs.

Today is the first day of week two and boy am I glad. For this program we eat the same thing every day all week, so here is what we have been eating for a week now:

Meal one: 3 hard boiled eggs (with out the yoke), 2 pieces of Canadian bacon

Meal two: 1 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup pineapple chunks

Meal three: romaine lettuce one serving of canned chicken (There are six serving in one of those little cans so it ends up being about 2 tbsp) one medium cucumber and 2 TBSP of vinaigrette dressing.

Meal four: a grape fruit and a sugar free jello cup

Meal five: 4oz ground turkey steamed yellow squash and broccoli and 1/2 cup kidney beans

We don't get to add salt or any other flavors and we drink a gallon of water a day. I ended up throwing up twice last week, I couldn't handle the eggs.

But this week we get oatmeal with fruit and nuts, celery with peanut butter we have chicken and kiwi for a meal and strawberrys, apples and yogurt and fish with sugar snap peas for dinner. I am so excited to eat foods that are regularly part my diet.

Now I have to tell you Steven and I are doing the diet a little different then Chris. We start our week on a Thursday so we have 3 days to follow the program then on Sundays we give ourselves a little break. We make a normal Sunday dinner of meat and veggies but no breads, for breakfast we eat a hot cereal, then we add in two fruits throughout the day. Also all we can drink is water. Then we continue our week Monday through Wednesday and start with a new menu on Thursday. We also have decided that lime juice is allowed on vegetables and on the last day of our week we give ourselves a little something extra, yesterday it was a slice of cheese with dinner. Now I would like you to imagine how amazing cheese tastes after a week of bland food, it was divine.
