8:10am- 3rd & last for a few days morning fiber drink with 8-10oz of water mixed in (70). 20 grapes (80) & a banana (105) 1/2 Spark (22)
Lunch 12:15pm~ Salad, lettuce 2 cups (40) green olives w/ pimentos (50) HB egg (70) Smoked salmon (80) & Lite Italian Vinaigrette dressing (20)
1:30pm snack Clementine (35)
4pm late afternoon snack banana (105) (677 so far)
All classes were canceled or skipped due to crappy snow or too much work & had to stay late. Wow, is it time consuming to write down & track all of those calories... I'm going to have to stop as I don't have time to do the math. ;) No just writing down what the calorie amount is for each & every item & looking them all up. I'll still track them but 1 thing I've noticed is that w/o dairy & bread in my current 10 days it's REALLY REALLY hard to get up to over 1,500 calories a day. I'm not sure I'm getting enough to be honest with my rabid Zumba schedule.
Dinner 8:30pm~ 1.5 cups browned pearl couscous topped with 1 cup with frozen fresh tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, parsley, garlic & onions & 1 TBS of extra virgin olive oil. 1 cup Frozen Green beans, nuked. Salad with imitation crab (aka fish) egg & cran & berry organic dressing. No dessert, not hungry for it, not even for fruit.
I also took my 3 cleansing pills & water before bed.
I've been feeling good having little to no issues with "cleansing" the system if you get my drift. Actually, I've been doing much better than in the past with mushrooms which have on occasion been a real issue for my system & giving me gas. I think I have less now than last week that's for sure. I'm sure the hubby is pleasantly surprised that amazingly with decreasing eating processed garbage that my system = less gas. Possibly the lack of dairy also might have something to do with it as well? I've had more energy & felt better too. Only thing that still lurks in the back of my mind is that I'd really like some processed foods (breaded or fried tortilla toranados) or grilled cheese sandwich, or a scoop of ice cream... or a piece of chocolate. you get the idea... But what has helped is that I had been decreasing all of those & getting my will power under control ahead of time. Those 1st 2 weeks of decreasing what you eat & how much of it you eat are the very hardest 2 weeks.
Oh I'm sure I've lost at least a few pounds already, I don't obsess myself with the scale. I'll get on it tomorrow night & again on Saturday AM on the SAME scale, but at different times of the day. I have found that I weigh less at my Wed PM than I do at my Sat AM weigh in. I took measurements on Day 1 so we'll find out how that is day 15 more than likely as a mid checkup the 24 days are up Feb. 21st. My clothes are getting looser & will have to put some away last weekend as even being tied up some are falling down.

YAY! When I clicked on this post yesterday it said "page not found". As far as stopping the tracking of your calories, I wouldn't recommend that and I'm hoping that you are only kidding. You're doing so good thus far. Just don't do the math, let the calculator do that for you! So, how is the 24-day thing working for you so far? Pounds/inches lost? How do you feel during it so far? Details, details... I'm thinking about doing it.
