First Weigh-In

Drum roll please...I lost 6 lbs. and 6 oz. Yea me! Wouldn't it be nice if I lost that much every week? I know that is not realistic; I'm just saying. Anyway, I am so excited and I think I can do this. They gave me some meal examples for the week and there was actually one piece of whole wheat bread on there; that's something to look forward to since I have only been eating protein, vegetables and fruit.

Did you know that hot water with fresh lemon squeezed in it is a natural diuretic? I'll be honest, I have felt a little bloated with all the broccoli I have been eating so I asked what would help. They told me to drink the lemon water twice a day and it should help. I am going to give it a try. She said to use about 1/4 of the lemon with 6 oz of water. I asked but lemon juice will not work the same as a fresh lemon.

Okay, here's wishing me another great week.

  1. Congratulations. That is fantastic. FYI, I heard that drinking green tea helps prevent/reduce bloating. Maybe you can ask them about that and let me know what they say. I would be interested if they "approve" it.
