No More Flax!!

So now I know how the Biggest Loser contestants feel when they've had a really good week and then hit a 2 or 3 --  that's how I feel about the last couple of days.  .6 and .2 aren't the biggest numbers, especially the .2 -- but I guess it's still a loss.  I'm just trying to figure out why.  I think I may have actually had too much water.  Compensating for a little bit of sweat when I shouldn't have.  Oh well, back on track for today.

Day Six -- New protein - tilapia

So breakfast is the same old, same old, more flax granola -- ugh.  Can't wait until day eight to try a piece of bread so at least I can rotate between toast and flax granola.  At least I get to add some fruit to the granola, otherwise I'd go crazy!!

Lunch was really good -- I'd forgotten how much I enjoy salad.  And I'm not even craving any tomato!!  It was spring greens with grated beets and carrots, pumpkin seeds and chickpeas.  And just a little bit of orange olive oil and lemon juice.

We started late so no snack yesterday -- but supper was tilapia and roasted squash/kale salad.  My girls have enjoyed trying the different cheeses we've been eating.  Hannah likes the goat cheese - Jack was the one we got, while Rachel enjoys the sheep's cheese, both Parmesan and manchego -- although I can't figure out what the difference between the two is, maybe aging period.

For dessert last night, we had apple and pear slices drizzled with chocolate and then sprinkled with chia seeds. Well some of us had chia seeds - Kevin laughed when I put the chia seeds on  - he said it was funny to eat healthy food with chocolate :-)

I've started to tell a difference -- while we were sitting at the table, Kevin kept looking at me and finally I'm like "what?"  He said you look different, it's not your hair.  Finally he said my skin looked different and then I went and looked in the mirror.  I thought my jawline was tighter, so I started feeling it (as a massage therapist, touch is better than sight for me!) and sure enough, both my jawline and my neck feel much less puffy.  My mom is coming up here on Friday, it will be two weeks since I've seen her, be interesting to see if she notices anything.
