Day Seven on The Plan - Rest Day

I lost .4 lb from Day 6 New Protein Test (I had skirt steak - YUM!).  I was worried because I love beef and don't want to give it up.  Yesterday I lost .4 lb bringing my total loss to 8.8lbs.

I made minor tweaks to the plan.  I add nuts, seeds and dried berries to the flax granola and skip the milk.  I'm not a big fan of cereal so I typically eat the granola and fruit separate from the milk.  I skipped the milk because I was out of it.  

The plan wants you to have Spicy Veg Soup but I hated the soup the first time I tried it. On the 2013 Day 1 to 3 Food Prep from the Lyn-Genet website the Spicy Veg Soup has been replaced with a Cream of Broccoli so that's what I had instead. I also didn't have the cheese for lunch and instead grated Macheago cheese over the chicken I had for dinner. Nom Nom

For dinner the plan wants you to  have chicken with a lemon garlic sauce and carrots and broccoli in the stir fry.  I made my own chicken and added carrots to my broccoli soup so I skipped them at dinner.

 For the chips I had Kettle brand unsalted and they were delicious.  The back of the bag said 1oz was equal to 13 chips.  I put them on pretty plate and sat on the balcony in the back over looking the river and enjoyed every crunchy yummy bite.

Like every morning I weighed my self and then drank 16oz of water with lemon.
