Day 22-We've made it to Week 4

Alright, I'm at the 4th week of the program, I've lost weight and I don't want to kill myself. Good times. I decided I would do one more month. But of course I am making changes. The second month might be much harder since I'll have even less options, though there are a couple of things I am adding in (there's a mashed potato lunch thing? How did I miss that?). As a bonus of sorts, I will be on vacation in Ireland for a week or so (where I won't post daily updates) so there's meals I'll have saved for when I get back and will finish up the program after I return. Just have to remember to cancel as soon as I get back. I also plan to try and stick with the program as much as I can, while still enjoying my vacation.

Breakfast: I got to the gym late so I got home late, and still had no skim milk. So I just ate the Crispy Rice cereal dry and stirred some into my 4 oz Fiber One strawberry yogurt. I couldn't eat any fruit because I just wasn't hungry enough. The name of the cereal makes you think of Rice Krispies; they do not taste like Rice Krispies. They aren't as sweet. They are okay in their own way, but disappointing if you're expecting some snap, crackle and pop.


Lunch: This did not quite work out right. I had some unexpected travels and wasn't able to prepare and pack some carrot sticks or anything like that. So while out and about I tried to find the healthiest thing I could nibble on because it was pushing 4, I still wasn't home and I wanted to eat desperately. I managed to find a bag of Chicken Jerkey. I love this stuff. I ate more than a serving but the stats are pretty decent so I didn't feel bad about my choice.

Afternoon Snack: was non existent, again.

By the time I got home it was pretty close to 6 so I decided to make my quick little salad, and even though dairy isn't a dinner option I used the one I missed in my afternoon snack in my salad (fat free feta cheese). I got to have the dinner entree I missed the other night- Chicken Pasta Parmesan. It was really good. The sauce was sweet with a little bit of spice. The chicken itself was a bit meh. The pieces are kind of puny. But otherwise a good solid pasta option. Could have used a little more cheese taste. And it was really hard to not grab a piece of bread to have with this. I suppose that's a habit to break since that's carb overload.


Dessert: Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Though I prefer a chewier cookie these hit the spot mostly because there are a few of them in the pack. Think Famous Amos cookies in terms of size and texture. I was still kind of hungry so I thought a sugar free pudding couldn't hurt.
