How How's Your Diet Today?

I hope that your weekend has gone well, and that you have kept your fitness resolutions. If you haven't, well, just start again right now, as you are reading this. Put down the munchie, grab a glass of water and vow to do better the next time temptation comes knocking at your door.

I didn't do too badly last night. Remember I said that my husband and I always go out for dinner on Saturday nights? We usually go to a Thai restaurant, where we are friends with the owner. I had Beef Ginger with plenty of veggies and a tiny bit of rice. I also had it extra-spicy, for the metabolism jump-start it can give.

Ok, this morning was the end of my ramp-down to my actual diet. From this point on, caffeine takes a hike, as does excess sugar. I did get on the scale and found that I had dropped a pound on the ramp-down. And I know I dropped more, because I didn't get on the scale for my start weight until my pants weren't as tight (there was probably about 3 pounds lurking there).

So today the real diet starts. I am doing a modified Fat Flush plan, which I find to be quite reasonable. My variations from the strict diet are to add some salad dressing that is not flaxseed oil and that I will not take the stevia (don't like it). I'll use either Sweet 'N Low or honey when I absolutely need some sort of sweetener.

I still don't have my supplement order, for the flaxseed oil, evening primrose, L-carnatine and CoQ10 pills. The order has been shipped, it's just taking its time getting here! But even if I don't have the supplements yet, that's no excuse for not starting the diet.

Hey, best of luck to you this week!
