Day 12 on the Danish Diet

Thu - Day 12 (121 lbs  55 Kg)
Hunger level low (below normal), energy high (above normal), not cranky, no headache.

Abominable is the only word that describes a day with no coffee. Now I was not cranky, but if I did seem snippy to some, you would understand. I may have cut down from 3 cups a day to 1 cup a day; but no coffee at all is treacherous. I think even prisons serve coffee because they are supposed to treat inmates humanely. The carrot is by no means a replacement for coffee. But you know what after today I don’t have to give up coffee for dieting purposes… yay !!!!

So tomorrow is the last day, and what will I do after that? Keeping the weight off is challenging because bad habits can sneak in. For instance I can see me drinking more coffee than 1 cup per day very easily. It is said that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so maybe I’ll stick to 1 cup of coffee a day for one more week to reach the 21 day mark. I’m definitely sticking with no food past 8 pm.  I can see that changing to 10 pm on nights that I’m out. However, I think that is completely doable. I think I’ll stick to meal planning, it was so carefree knowing what to buy at the store and what I was going to eat that day. I don’t miss trying to force myself to eat breakfast to I’ll stick to that. I’ll also keep posting and let you know how I’ve been surviving after the diet.

Today’s meal were easy to prepare. I love making the Salmon wrapped in aluminum foil because there is almost no clean up. The trick is to open the pouch slightly to let some heat out and drain it before opening the rest. It is also very easy to reheat in its pouch if there is an oven nearby. It stinks, literally fish odor, if you put it on the microwave; but in an oven it’s not so bad. Dinner was meat on the stick, again easy.
