Three Pounds

The is Wednesday, our third day on the Strip That Fat program. Last night, was our first night for eating out. We went to a national chain that has specials on Tuesdays for Mexican foods. We were metting at the restaurant, and my wife ordered for me because she got there first. She ordered soft chicken tacos for her and she ordered hard-shell beef tacos for me. She thought the chicken would be lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than the hard-shell beef tacos. We asked for an information sheet, and the cashier went to the back of the store and brought one out to us. Surprise! mine were 10 calories less than hers. Mine were also lower in fat and cholesterol. How could this be? The only information we didn't have was the amount of meat in the tacos. We speculate that hers contained more than mine.

Anyway, I weighed this morning and weighed three pounds less than yesterday. That makes a total loss of four pounds since we started on Monday. I don't suffer from any illusions that I might not gain on a particular day, but this is quite encouraging so far.

You might want to try it. As with anything, you can't just read about it, you do have to put it into practice. So far, we are satisfied and don't feel hungry, although I confess I thought about something sweet about 9:00 last night, but I passed it up.
