I weighed 224 this morning, but that was without PT. If I didn't have the Color Guard event, I would've been at the gym sweating out 2-3lb of water weight, so I'll still count it as progress (which isn't all that important, anyway, as it was just one day).

I chose a few things that were very similar to yesterday, but I tried to change up my lunch/dinner entrees, rotate my fruit servings... and I managed to skip my lunch salad and the afternoon "snack" dairy/protein.

1 glass (16oz) Crystal Light - 10 cal
1 glass (16oz) Crystal Light - 10 cal

Light on calories and protein. Since I just did the numbers, so I ran over to the shoppette before it closed. Later tonight I'll have:

PowerBar Protein Plus - 300 cal, 50 fat cal, 6g fat, 3.5g saturated fat, 39g carb, 1g fiber, 23g protein
Sugar-free Red Bull - 10 cal

Ugh. It's only 2300 and I'm already bored and out of my daily food (except for the bar). Bored bored bored bored.

I think the raspberry green tea crystal light is yummy. As for the boredom, now is a great time of year for fresh fruit. Maybe hit the farmers market and get some peaches, plums, black cherries etc. You're a disciplined soldier, I am sure you will stick with it.

Oh a great motivational site is Sparkpeople. I get daily emails from them and they have lots of articles/tracking/boards/support and the best thing is that it's free. You might want to check it out. Link I do think they offer a recomended diet but you can still follow what you're on and just go with the motivational tools. My favorite is the little graph that shows how much you have lost. It's always gratifying to see how far you've come even if you still have a ways to go.
