Day 8

I'm down almost a pound from yesterday morning. According to the book, it takes until Wednesday (if Saturday is cheat day) to be at or below the previous week's weight. I did my measurements, and I appear to have lost 8 TOTAL INCHES and 3% BODY FAT in just 8 days. Pretty incredible. I also went to my doctor this morning, so I have a real-deal body fat %, but since I did not have that information at the start of this program, I will have to rely on the online percentage calculator losses to calculate my % lost. I am still a disgusting percentage body fat, but the doctor's reading was lower than my online estimate, so at least there's a glimmer of good news. I return to the doctor March 8 to find out my other test results, at which point I will ask to have body fat % read again, and I will see the progress over the next 2 weeks. No picture of breakfast today due to being in a huge hurry, but it was chicken, green beans, and great northern beans. I like eggs better, but there's always tomorrow...



Lunch, Day 8: Salad bar salad with greens, grilled chicken, roasted veggies, peas, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, some seaweed salad, oil and vinegar.



Mid afternoon snack: Brussel sprouts, fake bacon, warm apple cider vinegar dressing. I will post this recipe soon.



Dinner: Chicken breast, great northern beans, arugula, tomato, apple cider vinegar dressing
