Day 8

I was pleased to see this morning that I'd lost 2.4 pounds! That makes a grand total of 11.2 pounds in the first week! Plus, it's getting easier. I was watching that Unwrapped show and had to change it eventually when my tummy was rumbling, and it is annoying to see my dad and my brother get up and just grab any old thing from the fridge as frequently as they wish, but I'm a quarter of the way through. Technically a little over a quarter now. So it might just be okay. Maybe.

For lunch I had 3 hard-boiled egg whites and half a banana. I had a stick of celery in between lunch and dinner, and for dinner I had a baked cod fillet with lemon, dill, pepper, and a pinch of salt, as well as some spinach (raw this time, thankfully) with bleu cheese dressing. And my mom's been at a plateau for a while, so she's been doing what's recommended for such things and ate only apples today. So I made a couple of baked apples with cinnamon for dessert, so she could have a little variety, at least. :P

I'm feeling better today than I did yesterday, but I still can't wait until this month is over. It's not as hard now, but still, I miss things that I can't have, like cheese. Mmm, cheese. And chocolate. And of course, bread. But I just have to keep telling myself that I'll get those things soon enough!
