I realized that when I was marking my calendar for the 17DD, I accidentally put 7 days for some of the cycles, instead of 10. I also decided to do the first cycle for 10 days, just like the rest of the cycles, instead of just 7 days (I know, I'm all over the place!). It just made sense to make it all 10. After making the corrections, I will be done with the 17DD March 25! That feels like it's just around the corner!
Monday's are going to be my weigh in days. So next Monday I will see where I'm at with the scale (I would have weighed in this morning, but I made the decision to do Monday weigh-ins this evening:)

I've still managed to eat out almost everyday, while being on the 17DD. I just always get a salad, and be sure to ask them to leave out foods that I'm not allowed. Here's some salads I've had over the past few days:
Greek salad from Jim-n-Nicks
Chicken Cesar salad from Spicy Pickle
Build your own salad from Qudoba. This one kinda looks gross, but I put lots of veggies in it, and it was delish!
Chicken and fruit salad from chick-fil-a
Keep in mind that there are a lot of salads, that are high in fat and sugars. Most of the salads I see on menus don't go along with the 17 DD. I usually have to custom order mine. If you're doing the 17 DD,
follow these 3 steps when ordering a salad:
1. Choose a light dressing, and always ask for it on the side.
2. Make sure you only have ingredients in your salad that go along with the guidelines of whichever cycle you're on.
3. Even though it's a salad, and it's filled with healthy greens, stop eating when you're just about full, to avoid over stuffing yourself. Too much of a good thing, is a bad thing :)
I found this neat link on Pinterest that gives a big list of healthy salad dressings. I can't wait to try some of these on some of my salads!
Here's the link!
PS. Do you ever want to give a gift to someone who's on a diet, and have no idea what to give? "Chocolates? NO." "Homemade cookies? NO." "Cupcakes? NO." "I give up!" A nice big jar of healthy homemade salad dressing is a great idea!!
Do you have a favorite restaurant salad?

Those salads look delish! We don't eat out that often, but I have had 2 restaurant salads on the 17dd. One was the cobb salad at chilis. Just asked to hold the bacon and ordered it with fat free honey mustard. YUM and then the Greek salad from Shaggy's! Both were great!
Wow those salads look amazing! The chicken and fruit salad intrigues me.
I love chicken Caesar salads but I always have to ensure that they are without all the bad stuff and sometimes they forget to remove everything so I really need to find a easier salad.
Giving salad dressings as a gift sounds like such a smart idea I must try that.

It's funny that absolutely none of those restaurants are ones that I know. I don't think we have any of them in my area. But those salads look amazing, which just goes to show that you don't need all the fattening extras to enjoy a salad. Good for you!
My Hubby and I love Cesear salad in Outback. It's the best we have found so far. I love your tips for ordering salad!
I tagged you in my post today. :)
Hey girlie, it's been over a month and a half since you're last post. I hope you're doing well.
Yes where are you? Hope it's good news and we don't care if you have gained weight! You're a real sweet woman.
Just thinking about you, girl! Hope you're doing okay! xoxo
