just so i can keep track...sorry to bore you all with the details!
also, i apologize for putting word verification back on my comments BUT when you have over 300 spam comments in the space of a week, it's time to pull a little more security.

day 6 (friday)
- breakfast: coffee and stevia (2 cups)
` lunch: burger with tony's seasoning and fresh minced, tomato
- dinner: corned beef and cabbage at my favorite pub. this was my first attempt at eating out, and it was...kind of successful? the beef was fine, but the cabbage was definitely cooked in oil and butter -- and i could TASTE it. it was odd. i ended up transferring it from the bowl to my plate and shaking off most of the sauce, so it wasn't bad at all once i did that. oh, and i had a small shot of whiskey. yummy. but no more alcohol during this phase -- my head was liiiiight!)
* i skipped both fruit servings and one serving of bread to make up for the extra calories. hopefully that wasn't a bad thing!*
day 7 (saturday)
- breakfast: coffee, cinnamon and stevia
- lunch: cottage cheese and 2 tomatoes (one from MY garden!!!)
- snack: orange. and i had starbucks! iced coffee and i added cinnamon and a tbsp of nonfat milk as well as a packet of stevia
- dinner: burger and grilled onion at the in-laws...another (kind of) successful attempt at eating somewhere else but my house or bringing my own food. unfortunately, i didn't get to weigh my meat before it was cooked (which is a big no-no) but we tried to figure out how much to take off and i figure it's close enough. and i only sort of coveted the cheese and onion rings on the table...
as of this morning i am down 6.1 pounds and 6 inches. for a week...not too bad? and i haven't been (too) bored with my food and choices...
best of all? i feel GREAT. seriously. i have more energy (on WAY less calories, thank you drops) and i just feel...good. the 'cleanse' bit is definitely working, and i'm considering extending it another week and just dealing with a bit of a gain/stall when we go to indiana and i have to eat cake at our shower...
