I’ve decided I’m not going to continue to log everything I eat. I’ve been “dieting” for 15 days, including 2 days in Las Vegas, and I haven’t “cheated” once. NOT ONCE. So, instead of tracking everything, I’m only going to track when I fall “off plan.” In other words, no more food journal entries unless I have to admit I screwed up. And how I DID screw up. (Not that I’m expecting that anytime soon. LOL
Not going to do a new post for each day’s meal. Will take it in weekly junks, and keep updating. I KNOW this isn’t a week….but I leave for Vegas after work on Wed., so I’m just going to do this because I’m not going to keep track for posting what I eat there. Although I fully intend to be good. 
Saturday 4/25:
Breakfast: 1 Thomas’ whole wheat English muffin, 1 tbsp. I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter Light, and about a dozen whole, unsalted almonds (MUFA!).

Snack: about 6 fresh strawberries and they were SO sweet!!!! Or is it me, just having lost the taste for sweet? hehe
Dinner: 2 pieces of sliced turkey breast, 1 tbsp. of dressing, and about a half cup of the salad above, but without the tortilla strips, and the dressing was only the low fat Blue Cheese. 16 oz. water

Third day of losing no weight. But I’m undaunted. I’m looking back at the day’s diet to see if there was anything I could’ve done, but undaunted re the end goal. :: sigh ::
