D-5 vlcd 3 -3.0 total -5.4

Got up, did my routine, weighed in and really couldn't believe it. Down another 3 lbs. Is this really possible?

My headache is making me a bit miserable but I'm not really that hungry. Coffee, Herbal tea etc is plenty for breakfast.

I decided to do some menu development today. I found 3 mustard's that are listed as 0 calories, plain French's yellow, Tabasco flavored yellow and chili dog flavored yellow. They are great and I'm using them to add flavor and bulk to my salad dressings. Also, I drizzles some over my meats today and also on my lettuce.

I grilled a thin to sirloin (100g) today medium rare and it was a great treat. I ate it with the usual salad but today I figured out that if I just had more bulk or quantity that I feel more satiated so I looked at a can of Swanson organic Chicken broth and saw that it had only 10 Cal's per cup. I put the broth (1 cup) in a pan and added a about a cup and 1/4 of water. Then I chopped up about 2 handfuls of Bok Choy from my garden, a tsp of crushed garlic, a shot of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of Cumin, a pinch of Turmeric and a few crushed peppers... I wanted it spicy because to me, spicy is filling and satisfying.

So, my meal was Steak, big salad (greens only) with my homemade dressing, a big bowl of my Bok Choy and broth soup... IT WAS GREAT! I was really full too!

For dinner I made chicken again, with a different seasoning and I cut it lengthwise into 3 long strips. Each strip I rolled in a very thick bunch (about 3 full leaves) of lettuce, drizzled salad dressing and mustard on it, wrapped it up and had really good lettuce wraps! Really good! I'll do them again, allot!!!

I ate an apple afterword for desert, cutting it thin and dipping it in my vinegar-y dressing and at bed time, another big swig of A&W!!! Yummm... but, I'm a little worried because I feel so full and satisfied, since my big lunch with the soup... maybe I blew it today? We'll see in the morning!
