I can't believe it's day 14! Time has flown by this week. Sorry for not keeping my promise to blog everyday while I'm on the 17 day diet. With Christmas just around the corner, life has been a wee bit hectic. We had our, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" date night party this week: 
I had the girls put on red lipstick, and kiss the Santa. The husbands had to figure out which was their wife's kiss mark ;) It was lots of fun, and I didn't have a single dessert. Yeah, I know, I rock. We got our Christmas cards/pictures ready:
And lots of shopping, wrapping, and decorating in between.
I had a good week on the diet, but it wasn't perfect like last week pretty much was. I've let a couple things slip, like having soup with corn in it, or a salad with beans... but over all, I'd say I did pretty darn good.
Today's weight:
I lost 2.9 pounds this week. That puts me at a 9.9 pound loss in 2 weeks.
I've been getting a lot of emails asking what exactly I'm eating. I gave a list of the foods you're allowed to eat in THIS post.
On top of that, here's just a few pictures of my meals:
My two favorite things to eat for breakfast on this diet are low-fat cottage cheese with peaches, and eggs with onions and hot sauce:
For lunch I either have a salad (which I usually go somewhere to get), or left overs form dinner:
You're not allowed to have beans, or corn in the first cycle, so be sure your salad only contains items from the list.
Dinners are where I have to get creative. The two recipes I turn to the most are lettuce wrap turkey tacos, and Mexican chicken skillet (minus the corn and beans, and 1 1/2 jars of salsa instead of 1):
For snacks I either have fruit (but not past 3pm), or veggies.
I'll try to take more pictures of my meals to show you.
Only 3 days left, and then onto the 2nd cycle!

Great job on another loss :) Do you find that the cycle gets easier or harder as you go. Are you excited about moving to cycle 2? My book is supposed to come in on the 23. I can'
t wait to read the book.
I would say it gets easier... and harder at the same time. I know that's a lame answer :) It gets easier, because after the first week it just becomes a habit. A new way of life. It gets harder because you start to get sick of the few things you're allowed to eat. Which makes cheeseburgers that much more enticing. I'm very excited for the 2nd cycle! Being able to add corn, beans, and potatoes to my diet is seriously going to blow my mind, lol! There's going to be so many recipes I will be able to make on the 2nd cycle, that I can't now.
Way to go with the weight loss girly! What an achievement! I am still struggling xo
When you see your results, it's always the best motivation to keep working! I've learned a lot about trainings and dieting at militarygradenutritionals.com/blog/. Now I have a number of clues how to set my goals and keep moving forward. What I found especially helpful was their recommendations on the proper nutrition and the ways to provide your body with energy and strength. Following their advices I gain better shape and achieve the goals I have set.
