Day 3 of Cycle 2, Round 1 of the 17 Day Diet

Haven't posted in a while, but we are still doing very well on this plan. We have moved on to Cycle 2. Have been able to add some red, lean meat and added a few carbs. The carbs that Ivan and I chose to add are corn and beans. With the servings being something we are now looking at (and never did before)... we are seeing that 1/2 cup of rice doesn't seem like much. So, we are missing corn a bit and peas... and the beans, we can add to a salad or something...

Last week's weigh in (2nd week) had me down another 4.5 lbs and Ivan lost 6.5. So, I'm totalling 18 lbs and Ivan 19.5. I knew he'd pass me up, but that's the "guy thing" going on. We are both still completely satisfied on this plan... not hungry at all. In fact, we now have just a few cravings. Ivan is craving something sweet... so I bought some popsicle molds. I'll be trying to make some popsicles that we can try as a desert. My craving is chocolate... it's the chocoholic in me. I haven't given in... as I see this plan really working and want to lose this weight. I'm so happy that we are both doing well, still.

Weigh in for week three in 2 days. Will report the results.

Ohhh, forgot to mention that I went down a pants size! Yay!
