I didn't believe it until I saw it...

One day you are on the scale and it says 173 then the next day it says 168.5. I just averaged the two together and said 170 as my starting weight last week when I decided to go on the FBD. Then Monday it droped to 166.5 then went up a lb each day of the 4 day Jump Start plan and I was getting very discouraged. Then I got on the scale today and was SHOCKED that it read 165.5! What, that worked? I really didn't see those 4 days making any difference.

I did go to the grocery store last night and get other foods for breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks. I bought nuts out of the bulk bins. I bought natural peanut butter and whole wheat english muffins. Just standard things that would hold a good shelf life and work with the 400 calorie + MUFA rule. I picked a dozen combinations out of the book to start with. I have gotten every book related to the FBD (even the one for men) to make sure I have all the possible options in recipes and food combinations.

Today I had some organic flaxseed frozen waffles and warm apple sauce with walnuts. LOVED IT! Warm apple sauce is one of my favoriets, the instructions said top the waffles with the apple sauce but I like to warm it up and eat it on the side.

Lunch was a whole wheat english muffin, one laughing cow cheese wedge, and 3oz turkey. Why have I never thought to put laughing cow cheese on a sandwich. Delish! I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the weekend yet with a baseball game tonight, and a pool party tomorrow but I will try to eat every four hours and in moderation of 400 calories.
