Ten weeks, nine pounds. All things considered, that really isn't bad. But now I'm starting afresh; on May Day. A beautiful, springy day; full of promise!


********************

Breakfast: glass of V-8 (they now make a version fortified with calcium!); 1/8 c pistachios; mug of green tea

Lunch: mesclun salad with tomatoes, cucumber, celery, red bell pepper, walnuts and hemp oil/balsamic vinegar dressing; diet Dr. Pepper

Midafternoon snack: failed toated yellow-eyed beans (actually, they were tasty but kind of fell apart so aren't really a good finger-snack-food, so I won't bother posting the recipe); diet Dr. Pepper

Dinner: Mediterranean chickpeas again (man, these are good!!)

********************

It's amazing how much easier it is to eat fewer calories when on Phase I. I easily hit just under 1200 calories; something I haven't managed for several weeks on Phase II.
