R2P2D14 – 170

Weight: 170

Yay!!  Finally a whole pound down!

While my calories and carbs seem to be up, according to SparkPeople’s nutrition tracker, I avoided the chocolate Stevia all day, for the first time since I got it last week.  I'll try that again today and see if my progress continues.

I also had broccoli for the first time on this round, and it sure was good!  While it's not on the original protocol, my doctor said it was fine to eat.  I had decided though, to try following the original protocol more strictly, hoping to have better progress, so I have avoided it.  I had been concerned that the carbs might be too high, but then I looked at the nutritional information for zucchini, which IS on the list, and it is much higher than broccoli.

So, dinner consisted of grilled ground bison, broccoli, and my multigrain wasa bread.  Pretty good for Monday night football!

Later, for my evening snack, I had a frozen strawberry and iced tea slushy with cinnamon and vanilla Stevia.  Yum!

Seven more days left on this round and am hoping to get rid of at least 5 more pounds.  That will put me at my original goal, which I’ve had for many years.  However, I have recently adjusted it downward, based on how much fat is left in my tummy area, and the fact that I'm not lifting weights anymore, so don't have the lean body mass that I used to have.  It's not about the number, it's about being healthy.
