R2 P2 Day 5

Yesterday I made a mistake. I didn't even realize it until just now. Thus far I've been trying to change my protein for every meal so that I didn't have the same thing. As my choices are only chicken, tilapia, and beef because of the choices that is what I'll eat, I just rotate to make sure I don't repeat the same protein on the same day. Upon reflecting what I ate yesterday, I had chicken soup with tomatoes for lunch and then a chicken salad for dinner with my customary apples at snack times. I also had a melba toast at lunch and chamomile tea with stevia after dinner. To my knowledge that is the first time I tried stevia while on this diet. Frankly, I don't like sweet tea warm. I don't know that I'm much of a tea person as it is but I thought I'd try it since I was having a bread craving after making toast for my little one. Needless to say I was nervous this morning for weigh in. Last time around the toast didn't help so I just omitted it. This morning I weighed in at -1.5 lbs! This is the first time so far that I've been excited because I was pretty sure I was going to gain. I also weighed in this morning in my underwear so I don't know if that made a difference or not. I do have a slight amount of swelling in my fingers this morning and less than usual in my ankles and feet. This is awesome! Here's hoping it will continue.
