YUMMY!!!!

Okay, I found another amazing recipe and a great way to get my strawberries (not that I don't enjoy eating them whole, but I'm trying not to let my meals get too boring). It's a virgin strawberry margarita.

6 strawberries

Juice of half a lemon

1 1/2 packets of stevia (since I have drops, I used 8 and that seemed to be perfect)

4-5 ice cubes

(I added water because there was basically really thick slush that I couldn't even get to pour)

Now, I've never had a strawberry margarita, because alcohol is

gross and makes me want to puke, so I have no idea if this tastes similar to actual margaritas, but I can tell you with certainty that it is absolutely delicious! I made one up for Luke too, although I forgot to add the stevia for him, but he said it was really yummy, so I didn't mention sweetening it. Jim tried the unsweetened, and he liked it too, so maybe I'm just spoiled when it comes to sour. Those 2 like sour patch kids too, and I can't stand them. Although I like war heads, so go figure lol

So... now I've got fun ways to get my 2 fruits a day, now I just need to come up with something for my veggies. I have a few recipes I may try, but I don't like to post ones I haven't tried yet, so I'll do those as they come.

For breakfast, I ate garlic chicken with parsley, half an orange, and half of my bread stick. I finished the orange and bread stick around 4, and then realized that I hadn't eaten my cabbage that I'd set out, so I ate that around 4:30. I hope that doesn't effect my weight loss any :(

For dinner tonight I sliced up a tomato, grilled some garlic chicken with parsley, and had my strawberry drink. I also ate my bread stick, of course. A lovely picture of my dinner :)

Today is day 10 of my diet. I'm going to start writing VLCD. It means very low calorie diet, and I will use it in conjunction with the day that I am on. Since my loading days don't count as part of the VLCD, just add 2 to figure out what day of the diet I am on.

So. I'm at VLCD 8, and down 6 pounds. Not bad, huh? lol
