Day 10 VLCD - Seasonings Rock!

I kept it easy again today, giving myself a television series marathon. I'm a little burnt out because of it, now. The girls played hard today, but not hard enough to sleep more than an hour. The little one didn't sleep at all. Ugh! Oh, well. At least they had fun today.

I finished up the crab meat (heating it up as I planned). That made all the difference. So much better warmed up. Hubby wants to eat the real deal (out of the shells) for a dinner-for-two on Thursday. I can't wait! The only draw back will be taking it all out of the shell to weigh.

For dinner, I had beef stew steak that I browned up yesterday. I used Jamaican Me Crazy seasoning. Oh, it's fabulous! It just made the steak pop...as if I'd bought it at a restaurant or something. Yes. It was that good. I will be one happy camper to find something this good for chicken seasoning. I'll be on the lookout.

I was down 1.6 pounds today. Yippee! I wondered, briefly, if taking my hair down took away some weight. Then I decided that, whether it did or didn't, it was a good loss and not to worry about the logistics.

Here's what I had for the day:

March 7th, 2010

Calorie goal: 1,138; calories consumed: 346; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 346

Mood: Tempted

I cooked Sunday breakfast for the girls this morning. Hubby wasn't here to take over when things got hard, so I stuck it out. No tasting and no nibbling on crumbs. I was very, very good. Day 10 on this diet! I'm proud of myself. I'll know I can handle anything if I can get through the vlcds during TOM. [edit this diary entry]
