Day 17

Today was the last day of the accelerate cycle of my diet.  As of this morning (Day 1-16) I had lost 9 pounds.  I am happy with that.  I know that it will slow down now, but maybe not too much.  I have a new dress to buy for a wedding on May 7th.  I really hope to be able to buy it around the 1st of April and to buy a much smaller one than I would right now.

Going to post my meal plan for the next week - starting tomorrow.  I now will alternate between the way I have been eating and adding in some beef and starches every other day.  Ready to go.
