My first dinner out last night went well, I had Cajun Tuna Steak and it was delicious! I had it with black beans and a side of broccoli that I asked for 'dry' and a side salad with tomatoes and onions and oil and vinegar. I am still doing well and enjoying the feeling of my body and not feeling so 'blah' and gross. I also find the afternoon energy to start getting better. I am surprised at how well I have been doing with cravings and how I haven't been wanting to kill for a snickers bar, although I am starting to get to that point I think. I know I know I know I should not be weighing myself every day (I know!!) but I can't help it. I want so bad to see SOMETHING come off as I FEEL it but I still have that extra pound lingering on. Oh well! I am going to keep moving forward and keep on with the lifestyle because I sure am enjoying it. I was looking at the Cooler 2 meal plan in the Recharge book to see if I was doing anything wrong and I feel like I'm doing ok except maybe my mid morning munch was a little heavy (1 piece Ezikiel bread with almond butter, cottage cheese and piece of fruit). Today I tried to only have the cottage cheese and fruit but was hungry an hour later so I ate the Ezikiel bread and almond butter. It is hard to get out of that diet mindset! I know I shouldn't worry about the number on the scale and eventually it will catch up with me and I'll figure out what my body needs I just wanted to see something you know? Today I'm also wanting to stuff my face with food, not because I'm hungry, but because I'm a fat kid and I want chocolate and a burger and fries or something. UGH. I had a good couple of days of not feeling like that! Off to go refill my water instead!!!

So I am on Day 3 of the ECD and I am still loving it! I really thought I was going to be struggling a bit and wanting ice cream and candy and fries or something. I guess I wasn't eating that on a daily basis before but typically when it's something I "can't" have I want it. I was looking forward to starting the clean eating lifestyle though. I didn't want to start until I had read the ECD Recharge book cover to cover! I'm finding myself less and less hungry each day and now I think I need to cut down my breakfast a bit because I was not hungry for my mid morning snack! I ate it anyway and I guess I am getting hungry for lunch now which is about on time so maybe it's alright. I did the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga on Monday, hiked yesterday and did the yoga again this morning. I have my first eating out experience tonight and have checked out the menu so I can plan. I am getting the cajun tuna steak over roasted corn and black beans with a side salad with oil and vinegar no cheese or croutons extra veggies :) I'm just enjoying it. I'm trying not to think of junk food as things I "can't" have but as things I don't want to put in my body. I don't want to feel like crap! I don't want to do that to myself!
Do you guys try to only eat grass fed beef and organic free range poultry? That is what I bought this week but it is a lot more expensive and I know it's not something I always can buy. Is it bad to get regular cuts of meat? What about pork chops or something?

Trying not to let the scale mess with my mind. Want to stay upbeat and positive. I have "dieted" all my life. This time feels different. I am determined to lose this weight!

The long weekend is officially over. The company is gone. Peace and normal has returned =} now I deal with the left over food! I have a big pot on the stove and the left over ground turkey taco meat is in there along with the raw veggies some tomatos a little salsa even spinach. I had some chicken bone broth in the freezer and I added a little pasta from the pantry and voila...lunch and I will freeze a few bowls to have on hand for busy days. I like the fridge clean and back to its minimalist self.
