Today, we add veggies back to the diet! Yay! But we're also realizing we aren't really *hungry*. However, I want to eat & drink at regular intervals, so the body will keep burning calories & stored fat.
I did weigh in this morning to some good results. After 5 days, I'm down 7 pounds to 156.
That jump start has been a long time coming, and I'm definitely on the right track.
My target, realistic weight is 123. I began at 163, so that's a major drop of 40 pounds. Just admitting that is so horrifying. Again, how did I let myself get into that large size? <shakes head> Almost all the weight is belly fat, and I'll be so happy when that's GONE. :)

Post Script: This was a very long travel day, but we're back in the Fleet Suite in Carmel, IN. And, we have new granite countertops in the place. They did good work while we were gone.
My dinner tonight was at Five Guys in the ATL airport, and it was good! Burger in a bowl (no bun) with tomato, lettuce, grilled onion & mushroom and a little mustard. It hit the spot.
The mail accumulated in the box while we were in Reynolds Plantation, and it's always fun to go through the pile upon return. My latest issue of Cook's Illustrated arrived, and I'm looking at it in any entirely new way! It'll be fun to cook meat again.
I'm really hoping to keep to this eating plan, but tomorrow I'm going to experiment with a protein smoothie in my Christmas Blentec blender! Flavored Greek yogurt, ice cubes, non-fat milk, maybe vanilla & Stevia, with the daily oat bran & flaxseed. I need to become 'regular' again, and it's taking more than just drinking loads of water daily. Maybe the smoothie will do the trick.
G'nite! Going to sleep with Geo in our Carmel bed. :)
