Day Five Recap

The big temptation over the last two days for me was three super-sized chocolate and maple long johns from Lamar’s Donuts. We bought them for our daughter who turned nineteen on Thursday as she just loves their donuts. She ate one right away. However, the other two sat around for the better part of Thursday and some of Friday. I kept opening the box and looking at them, thinking to myself, “just one.” Fortunately for my diet’s sake, I resisted. Now they are gone (thank God).

I was going to take a picture of them sitting so pretty in the box and post it here, just to tempt my fellow contest competitors. Lucky for them, I am not that cruel.

Here is what I consumed on Day 5 (Friday).

Breakfast:

Leftover Black Beans (1 serving)
Salad with Italian Dressing (1 serving)
Spicy V8 Juice (6 oz.)

Lunch:

Thom Ka Gai Soup from favorite Thai restaurant (3 servings - no rice)

Dinner (Outback Steakhouse):

London Broil Steak (10 oz.)
Steamed Broccoli (1 serving)
Grilled Zucchini and Yellow Squash (1 serving)

Other:

Coffee (3/4 pot)
Oolong Tea (1 cup)
Water (64 oz.)
Pecans (handful)

Exercise:

45 minute walk with the dog (Jodi). She’s happy again as she missed her walk on Thursday.

As I weighed myself today, I weighed in at 232 lbs. That’s a total loss thus so far of 9 lbs. If I would have given in and eaten that Lamar’s Donut, I’d probably be back to original weight. Can’t tempt myself like that again.
