10 days in - 20 left to go!! (Lu)

It's been over a week since we've started this diet. So far, it hasn't been too bad, except I'm pretty tired of eating eggs and steak. The good news is that my weight dropped down to 149 lbs! Yay! Four more pounds and I'll be back to my pre-pregnancy weight. If I'm lucky, maybe I can even get back to my college weight. I highly doubt that though. I've been eating a lot of whole foods, but what I eat is pretty high in fats, especially all the beef and avocados. I'm going to see if I can avoid the beef and stick to mostly chicken. When I go out to eat, I try to eat Japanese and get lots of yummy fish in my diet.

Some of the various dishes I have been eating:

Breakfast:

Mushroom, onion, tomato egg scramble
Turkey bacon
hard boiled eggs
avocado
purple yam

Lunch:
Calamari salad
Fuji apple chicken salad
NY steak with avocados (was sooooo yummy...too bad the kids ate half my lunch)
leftovers from dinner

Dinner:
NY strip steak
Pan fried chicken thighs with sauteed spinach
purple yam
sweet potatoes
Seaweed soup with fish maw
Beef sukiyaki
Braised chicken wings with broccoli
Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce
Kalua pork and cabbage

I think I'll try to make cauliflower fried "rice" and hot and sour soup tomorrow. Looking forward to it...if I can get off my lazy bum to cook.

On the exercise front, I actually went to yoga with Sue and Lisa one time. It was very enjoyable, even though I almost fell over from one of the crazy contortions. Surprisingly, not too much soreness this time. What I am actually sore from is playing Plants vs. Zombies on the computer every day this week. I'm going to get Carpel Tunnel syndrome from this evil, addictive game. Other than the yoga, no other exercise other than walking my daughter to and from school.
