Bad me... I cheated yesterday with a little bit of ranch dressing with some celery sticks. I knew better, I did. But I tried to convince myself that it was THE LESSER OF EVILS. There were really NO EVILS but in my mind I created a sort of Zombie Apocalypse to convince myself that the ranch dressing was the lesser of the evils. So basically, I lied to myself and I believed it... I'm such a sucker!
Enough brow beating. I didn't lose any weight yesterday but I didn't gain either. Do I think the dressing really hurt me that bad, no. Did it piss me off later, yeah. I totally did NOT get enough water in me yesterday so I need to make that a priority today.
I did make an awesome meal though that I will share. I took chicken breasts and cooked them in a skillet in the juices of a can of tomatos. I added salt substitite, pepper, garlic and an all purpose seasoning. When the chicken was about 3/4 done I added some fresh green beans and peppers and let it all sautee for about half an hour. Oh my gosh it was sooo good! The tomatos had the diced jalepenos in them so it gave it a nice kick. It was delicious!
Here's to a strong day 7 and then end of my first full week on the 17DD. I firmly believe in this eating plan and encourage anyone who is considering trying it to do so! Today I will do my second shopping trip on the plan and have a much better idea of the foods I need to buy to keep myself on the right track.
I started this plan at 233.6 and weight 228.2 this morning. Down 5.4 pounds with 93.2 more to go for my goal weight. I can do this... I will do this... It is what is good for me and my body. I am still TO FAT FOR 44, but next year I will be FABULOUS AT 45!

I completely understand how you feel when you "cheat" on this diet. I felt absolutely terrible yesterday after having some sugar-free, lactose-free ice cream (it's still 170 cal I do NOT need!). I actually wonder if we can prevent weight loss everytime we panic about cheating.. like you said, ranch dressing shouldn't cause huge effects on your diet, but it definitely hurts your mood and sense of self-worth.
That being said, you're doing awesome! If that is your only cheat, do not feel bad! I've had some bad foods, and as long as you recover by being strict later, you'll be fine! I'm very inspired by your attitude! You're still being so positive despite the setback that day. Keep your chin up and remember that everyday (and every piece of healthy food you eat) is one step closer to you fabulous at 45! :)
P.S. thanks for sharing your awesome chicken and veggie recipe! I think I may have to try that! One of the best results of this diet is having fun eating and preparing food!
Can you just try and use FF or low fat ranch next time? :) I have been using low fat low cal ranch this whole time and haven't had any issues with it.
