tammyleeTuesday morning I was 192.6 lbs. Saturday morning I am 189.2 lbs. 3.4lbs lost in three days? This is a LOT to lose in such a short period of time so I emailed my trainer to ask about it.
She suspects is the sudden reduction of sodium in my diet. I... might have been eating bacon nearly every day, prior to starting this programme. *coughs* *examines the ceiling* I really like bacon.
I'm to weigh myself again on Monday and see where I'm at.

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day but, sadly, I don't often have the time I want to spend preparing and consuming breakfast so I tend to make do during the week and take my time on the weekend.
During the week I get up early to go to work and I eat my breakfast when I get to work. Having to go gluten-free throws a bit of a wrench in my options for breakfast as I've now crossed toast, bagels, and pancakes off my menu. But what I'm left with isn't so bad.
My basic work-day breakfast:
- using a microwave egg poacher I poach egg whites before I leave the condo and toss them in a small tupperware container
- when I get to work I turn on my personal kettle for a cup of tea
- I use hot water from the coffee maker to mix up a sachet of instant oatmeal (which I suspect are not totally gluten-free but I'm taking baby steps here)
Today I had the time to make a weekend breakfast but my kitchen still isn't completely equipped to handle full gluten-free cooking so I made:
- egg white omelette with red, yellow, and green pepper
- 1/4 cup of steel-cut oats with dried cherries from my parents' tree in the mountains
It may not seem like a lot but it took me an hour to eat with two, liesurely cups of tea and putzing about on the Internet. Now that I'm finished Breakfast, I'm ready to clean my kitchen and get lunch going! I might try taking some photos of what I'm cooking this weekend; some of it is interesting!
