My husband lost 2 more lbs.

Darn those men and their ability to lose weight so easily!!!

Not much of a change for me but still it is progress so I am not discouraged.  I definitely feel better in my clothes which is what really matters to me.

Going back to all protein yesterday was interesting.  I actually welcomed the bland protein diet because I was not starving all day as I had been on the previous protein + veggies day.  I stayed feeling nice n full.  I really do feel like I can handle this phase until I lose my remaining 5 lbs.  Shoot I'm already halfway there.

Another thing I have to comment about...thirst.  I have not felt thirst this much in my life.  I drink water all day long and I still feel thirsty several times a day.  Hubby doesn't say he feels thirst like this so I am thinking it might be from the cottage cheese I eat so much of.  It's the one thing I can add Splenda to and feel like it's dessert...it's easy and quick.  I can't give it up.  But that may also be why Hubby lost 2 more lbs and I didn't.  I haven't read anywhere that cottage cheese might be too high in sodium though.  Whatever I'm still going to eat it, yogurt is too mushy and doesn't feel like "eating" to me.  I gotta have something to chew a little bit!

Also this morning Hubby fixed the oat bran with some milk and sweetener, heated up like oatmeal.  I really loved that.  It felt a little bit like I was eating baby cereal (especially since we made it in little baby bowls, how cute), but it was tasty.  I think I'll have that for a while instead of making the galette.  The galette is too much trouble for me in the morning, it's gotta be quick.  I have a 3 and 7 year old and very little time in the morning!

Tomorrow is the BBQ cook-off.  We'll see how it goes.  Right now I feel like I don't want to mess up my results by drinking any alcohol.  I hope I can resist the temptation and just eat a ton of meat!
