Unprepared for lunch
Today, I was so busy answering questions on Facebook about what I'm doing on this diet, that I found myself unprepared for lunch. So, we had the easy-peasy luncheon of cauliflower with ranch cottage cheese dipping sauce. It's 150 calories, 170 with the grissini stick and wonderfully satisfying. :)
I have news! This morning when I weighed myself, I was down another four pounds - that's a whopping 22 pounds in 8 days.
My poor Mom has been sitting at the same weight now for the last four days. I think I'd be discouraged, but she's a real trouper and has been through diets before. Personally, I've not dieted for the majority of my life. I've worked to get healthy, and, other than this last little hurdle (weight), I am healthy. I figured that it didn't make any sense to do any of those diets - they didn't work for other people, why on earth would they work for me? The definition of sanity, according to Ben Franklin, is to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. I take it a little further and say that insanity includes doing the same things that other people have tried over and over, expecting different results for no reason.

No loss, again - Lunch menu
Today, again, I have no loss to report. :( So, I stay right where I am. I guess, since I've been near here (this weight) for years and years, there's no harm in just sticking with what I'm doing and seeing how it works out. I'll keep you all informed!
For lunch today, we opted to go the way of vegetarians. I enjoyed cucumbers and cottage cheese. Mom enjoyed much the same thing, but with cherry tomatoes picked from the tomatoe plants just on our deck. I added about 1/4 teaspoon of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning to our cottage cheese, as there's no fat and no sugars in it. So, since seasonings are allowed, I used it!
Ranch Cottage Cheese & Veggie (90 calories)
100g cottage cheese (90 calories)
1/4 t Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning (or to taste)
Cut up your allowed amount of your choice of veggie (cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower - YUM) and dip into the cottage cheese ranch. Enjoy!!
