Dinner tonight was so good! But don't let me get ahead of myself...

Yesterday I went to work and jumped on the scale and found I lost 5 lbs - Nice! Of course, I found out soon afterwards that my competition had lost 8 lbs and 5 lbs so this made my accomplishment (of water loss haha!) seem less glorious. Here's what I consumed yesterday:

B: 4 Deviled Egg Halves, 1 tomato, Decaf coffee w/ 2 tbsp of heavy cream and Splenda

S: 1/4c almonds

L: 4cups of greens with egg salad (2 eggs, 3 tablespoons of mayo)

S: 1 Red Pepper, sliced

D: Vegan Steak Bites (4), 1/2cup Mock Mashed Potatoes, & a zucchini, sliced and boiled w/1Tbsp butter

Exercise: 15 minutes stair climbing, 18 minutes stationary bike, some work with free weights

++Drank 3L water with two Crystal Light packets, a Decaf Diet Coke (1can), & a sparkling cucumber water

Then today - I was sure I wouldn't eat any eggs since I ate four of them yesterday, but after I got out of the dentist's office, I couldn't imagine chewing anything so there was more egg salad...

B: 1/2c High Protein Special K, 1/4c walnuts (chopped), & 1/2c unsweetened vanilla almond breeze

S: String cheese

L: 4cups of greens with egg salad (3 eggs, 3 tablespoons of mayo)

D: Thai Double Soy stir fry (Vegetarian Times - got this from the net but I ordered a subscription to this) - I ate two cups of this as pictured above and it was very satisfying. Tasty and filling (Even E Dub liked it)

Exercise: 13 minutes of stationary bike; 62 minutes on the treadmill (1st mile in 18:39, 2nd mile in 37:00, and 3rd mile in 58:40 - completed 3.12 miles)

++Drank 1L water with a 4C To Go packet, 1 sparkling cucumber water, 1 Steak blueberry pomegranate sparkling green tea, 2 pints water (there may be more beverages in my future that don't get logged - perhaps a decaf diet coke?)

Added bonus - had my monthly visitor stop by today which probably accounted for a pound or two on my baseline weight so maybe I secretly had a leg up on my opponents when we weighed in yesterday. Since the competition is 6 weeks I don't have to worry about this being an issue when we do the final weigh in (YES!).

Also, my blood pressure is down to 116/75! Sweet!
