R2, P2, VLCD 5 - Indulging in BBQ

Well, as much as one can indulge on 500 calories per day. My mother grilled today, rather than tomorrow. Her reasoning? You can actually enjoy the day off, rather than slaving away over a hot grill. I love her logic.

Anyway, she grilled chicken, halibut, salmon, tilapia, giant hot dogs and ribs. She accompanied these meats with potato salad, corn on the cob, green bean casserole and spinach salad. What a mom! I ate some of the halibut, the spinach and had fresh strawberries for dessert. I also packed away enough left overs to have lunch and dinner for the next two weeks. Sweet!

Like a crazy woman, I stood on her scale when I went to use the potty. I never have unrealistic expectations when I step on a scale, fully clothed at the end of the day. Shockingly, it was 1.4lbs lower than what I was this morning. Huh? I told her that I was sure her scale weighed light. Anyway, I came home, stripped and stepped on my own scale. It read the same weight I was this morning. Either way, I know I've had a loss already. Well, alright! Round 2 is going well, indeed!

I was 1.8lbs lighter than yesterday.

I didn't sleep well, but woke up with a 1.8lb loss this morning. Cool! I had a chicken breast from the store, so I'm not sure about the calorie content and fat. I did pull all the bones out. I dipped the chicken in honey dijon mustard. Lovely! [edit this diary entry]

Today's weight, a bit of a number's flip/flop from yesterday. I was 156.8lbs now officially below my LIW. By the way, today was a "skip" day, so the hunger was noticeably stronger, hence the several cups of coffee. That seems to help a lot.
