June 6th...Day 2 of the 17 Day Diet...what are you willing to give up?

Well here's tonight's "circle of love" question...what are you willing to give up on this diet?  Easy answer for me, creamer in my coffee.  I know it's sooo bad for you, but I love it so much, really, really love it! I'm substituting it with vanilla almond milk.  I'm in day 2, so far so good, I had a headache yesterday in the morning and at night, not sure if it's related.  I was up early today, good to go.  I find that I have to eat every 2 hours or so, otherwise my cravings will get the better of me.  Some of you said that alcohol is going to be a hard one to give up, especially with summer coming.  One drink, I said one, is not going to be the end all.  If you follow this program exactly, for 17 days, you should see some amazing results.  If you do it half-ass, then don't expect to see much change on the scale.  So speaking of scales, I got on, Monday morning, weighed in at 146.4lbs.  This afternoon I got on and was down 2lbs. now I'm 144.4lbs. I'm pretty sure that is just water weight...Monday's work-out wasn't that intense!  So being the official sacrificed Ginny Pig, that is where I start...just need Mom to stop making Super Yummy banana bread, loaded with chocolate chips.  Yes I had a super small piece today, couldn't help it, it was calling me through the zip-lock bag!

Above is one of my snacks today, Protein shake with water, 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries, and 3/4 cup of Kale.  Also 1/2 cup Greek 0%plain yogurt, with a sprinkle of sliced almonds and dried cranberries.  I'm pretty sure your not suppose to be having nuts in the is phase but I needed a little crunch!

I found this at SuperStore...Greek yogurt taziki dip, great for "guilt-free" dipping with your veggies.  I wanted to post a picture of my chicken veggie soup I made, but my phone is on the fritz because while I was taking the picture, I dropped the phone into my soup!...no more close ups!
