Thanks Foxye!

Apart from the labour of preparing and cooking the meals this is SUCH an easy way to eat. I feel like I am indulging all the time, and yet I don't feel bloated or tired after I eat.

I hope it's normal to be cranky by day 5! Must be the sugars leaving ...

B: blueberries, grapefruit
cereal/NF milk/NF cappaccino

Snack: orange

L: (2 hours later -- late lunch): turkey meatball / hamburger / salad (oil/lemon dressing)

D: grilled steak, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, mushrooms grilled in foil with butter/garlic, etc.

July 5

Breakfast - 1/2 melon

Lunch: mixed green salad with boiled egg, 3 pieces of bacon, feta, tomatoe with balsamic dressing, and side of leftover broccoli/cauliflower and sauted mushrooms.
Dessert: 1/2 cheesecake slice

S: orange

D: grilled salmon, zuchinni hashbrowns (first try!), mixed green salad with dressing.

I have to say the most difficulty I've had this week is not indulging in alcohol. The few get togethers I had with friends at home or at the bar I stuck to club soda with lime. I really really really wanted a glass of wine or a cold beer but I stuck to my guns! It was good to have the club soda with lime because it was refreshing and I felt like I was indulging in a little treat at least (apart from the norm of water or decaf coffee),

Just wanted to add that I feel fortunate that I've never been much of a soda or juice drinker. Mostly water and coffee, but with my greatest downfall being the liquor.

Last night at the wedding .... I had a couple of glasses of wine ... but I completely ate within my rules otherwise. It was a buffet so I ate a generous portion of turkey, salad and roasted vegetables. No dessert.
