Well, the Steak Day was a success! My weight is back down within the +/-2 lbs range. So, today I am going to be very intentional. I will eat my protein and drink my water and I am going to stay away from the dairy stuff to see if that helps. I will check back later to report my food intake for the day. TTYL!!!

Well, I feel like I ate a ton today and according to livestrong.com..I still am 'allowed' 1115 calories to keep me within the range to maintain my current weight! So, here's what I had today:

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 3 slices Candian Bacon, 2 cups hot tea w/ stevia NO CREAM..staying away from the dairy; South Beach High Protein Cereal Bar-Cinnamon Raisin

Snack: 100 Calorie Muscle Milk Light Chocolate Protein Shake; 7 salted almonds

Lunch: 1 can Starkist Albacore Tuna in water w/ 2 Tbls REAL mayo, dill spice, celery salt and about 6 petite dill pickles, 16 oz lemonade w/ stevia; Pure Protein Chocolate Protein Bar

Snack: Large Honeycrisp apple, water

Dinner: .65 oz Ribeye grilled with onion salt, garlic salt & powder and parsley, 3/4cup steamed zucchini, 12 oz Mendota Springs carbonated water w/ stevia. I shared several bites of my meal with the family...those beggars!!

Evening Snack: South Beach High Protein Bar Peanut Butter

It is like 10:30, I am going to try to get in a little more water before I go to bed. I am nervous about weighing in the morning..eating all that stuff seems counter-intuitive!!! But when you read the Pounds and Inches Manuscript, it makes all the sense in the world..and when you read about the success of so many others who are doing this protocol.

I also started logging all my food intake each day at livestrong.com, which then computes how many calories and all the fat/protein, etc., I have consumed and let's me know how much I am allowed or have used up...I really have found that sight very helpful.

I can't wait until the morning (after a good nights sleep) to see how I did today and to get a better idea of what works for my body. Stay tuned!!!
