So, I went to weigh in today, not expecting much of a loss since I hadn’t been exactly on plan and……..I lost 3 lbs!!  Three pounds in three days– couldn’t ask for much more than that.  So, now I’ve officially lost 40.5 lbs., and it’s time for my next reward, which is a facial at Christina’s, and since it doesn’t cost much (because I’m going to the education center instead of the regular spa), I think I’m going to get an Italian CD as well, since I really like Giusy Ferreri’s music.  I’ll post and let you know how it turns out.

Breakfast:  cheese toast, 1 hardboiled egg white, HNS

Lunch: bar (fourth for the week, only supposed to have three), HNS

Dinner:  Plan to have shrimp and cheese on a wrap again, but we’ll see if I have time.

Today and yesterday were both on plan, and I feel much better now, too.  I think I wasn’t eating enough before on top of having too much caffeine, and I was totally jittery.  They also did my measurements today and a body fat analysis.  I’ve lost 2.5 lbs. of muscle since I started, but that’s very good considering I’ve lost 40 lbs., too.  They said it’s normal (on their program) to lose about 5 lbs. of muscle over the whole course of the diet, and that fits since I’m about halfway through.  On other diets you lose a lot more muscle mass, but since this is so high in protein, you tend to keep the muscle and lose fat, which is always a good thing!
