Day 3: Success!! (-2llbs!)

Finally, this morning I got the courage/remembered to weigh myself. In high school I used to weigh myself everyday but I realized thats unhealthy. So throughout college because of my excessive weight gain I never really weighed myself because everytime it was a disappointment.

This morning I stepped on the scale and it was less than the last time I weighed myself back in November!! Made me soo happy and so much more motivated to continue this diet.

For breakfast I had my usual tomato, green pepper, and onion omelette. Today, I decided to have my glass of 1% milk along with it.

For some reason, my sister was hungry like 2 hours after breakfast so I had to make her an early lunch and myself as well (because I wasn't about to make lunch twice.) We decided to have Greek Salad today with dressing made from scratch. It turned out actually really good, but a bit salty so I added some leftover sweet salsa I got from Baja Fresh the other day. We chopped some tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, olives, and romaine lettuce. For the dressing we used EVOO, lemon juice, salt, and pepper with a tint of parsley, and topped with oregano and garlic powder. Turned out pretty delish and is definitely a VERY healthy salad.

After lunch, me and my sister were craving some sweets and yes I know I caved in and had a freaking Lindt. Oh well. My sister and I were craving more sweets so we looked up some dessert recipies acceptable for South Beach online. We found one for espresso custard and it actually turned out pretty legit. Here's the link for the recipe.

For snack I had a string cheese and some dhokla (indian chick pea flour cake) for snack time. After that I was pretty full and left the house to look at cars so did not have the option to indulge myself in more food.

When we returned me and my sister were so hungry, we were almost tempted to stop at McDonalds and eat Chicken Nuggets and take off the fried shell (lol, yeah we're lame). We came home and my mom made us some Indian Cheele which we ate with some leftover chole from yesterday. Pretty filling and appetizing.

Recap of Day 3: Lost 2lbs and cheated only a bit with the Lindt once again.

South Beach Friendly Greek Salad and appetizing, too!
