Week 1 of th 17 day diet...

Well, my husband and I want to jump start our weight loss so we are trying the "17 Day Diet." It's kind of restrictive the first cycle, but eases up on the next 3. You must have a large salad with each dinner. We will see how I do with this because if I eat a big salad, I usually don't eat anything else at that meal. I will let you know how we like it...???

Here are our dinners for the next week.

Sunday = Macaroni and Cheese, broccoli and cauliflower (not on the diet) My last gasp at getting in pasta for a while...LOL.
Monday = Grilled Chicken, yellow squash and salad
Tuesday = Grilled Tequila Lime shrimp, spinach and salad
Wednesday = Roasted turkey breast, salad and green beans
Thursday = BBQ steak, acorn squash and salad
Friday = Burgers (Beef or turkey), salad and peas
Saturday = Halibut, salad, broccoli

While I don't eat a great variety of vegetables, I will do my best to improve. I don't eat cooked carrots or celery, but do enjoy them raw. Also, I consider corn a grain...not a vegetable. I will have to figure out some more. I always have cucumbers and tomatoes on my salad. Oh...and I am allergic to onions, mushrooms and can't stand the taste of peppers or chilis. They invoke gag reflex in me...OK...TMI...LOL. So...we will see how this goes. Anxious to start it tomorrow.
