Day 2 of the 5dpt, 4 lbs lost. Stuck to it, not 1 cheat. I also walked about  2 miles yesterday. And this is the first time doing the 5dpt that I can remember being able to walk on the first day. Usually I am so washed out. Michelle made the split pea soup, pretty damn good, and today we are having the ham and cheese soup. The orange to help that washed out feeling seems to really work too. Sitting here drinking my protein drink as I read.

FYI, I have been taking a scoop of vanilla protein powder, then about a teaspoon of instant coffee and mixing it up in a shaker. Pretty damn good.

Way to go, John...It gets easier each day to be good, especially when you see that scale going down!  I used to do a protein drink like that except I added some cocoa and splenda or would use Hoods calorie countdown chocolate and splenda.  I used to crave them.  I might need to go back to that for a protein drink.

Hang in there...

Way to go John.  I'm not sure i could stick to all liquids without cheating, I'm impressed!!

Not such a great day for me yesterday.  I am definately in a "feeling sorry for me" mode and it is not good.  Gonna stop that as of now.  Too much SF candy last night...my downfall & I'm not buying anymore.  Haven't been on the scale since Sunday when I was up to 139--still in my ok range.

Today:

protein shake for breakfast
dreamfields penne & homemade spaghetti sauce for lunch
don't know about dinner as I'm working later...probably just ham & cheese rollups
protein shake about 1/2 after dinner
100 oz of water

Morning vitamins are in & the whining & feeling sorry for me are over.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Hugs & love,

Jeri

Today I'm making a big pot of beef veg soup.

Lynette,

Could you share that 15 bean chili recipe? It sure sounds yummy.

I love to make the 15 bean chili. This is how i make it;

1 bag of 15 bean soup mix (I use the beef flavored) cook the beans with the flavor packet until they are tender ( I only use 1/2 the flavor packet it is pretty strong)

Add 2 cans of rotel tomatos

Add 2 lbs of lean ground beef (brown and rinse first)

Just simmer it all in the pot and serve.

Season with chili seasoning packet or chili powder

  

Wow, is it really day 23??  Where did the time go.

I think I'll be the only one on here who has lost 1 pound. Ha ha ha. Oh well.

Yesterday was good. For dinner last night I had fish.  :-)

Today:
B- egg, ham, cheese (and Starbucks)
S-shake or trail mix
L- ham and swiss
S-trail mix or shake
D- I'm thinking about what to make...something yummy and warm given this ugly weather headed our way.
All my water and vitamins.  

Hugs to all and BE SAFE out there
