Mon Sept 14, 09, "VLCD 1" 158.2 (down .4)

Monday morning I took my HCG drop with enthusiasm!  I took my salad to work, along with some apple cider vinegar and a half of a lemon (to use as dressing).  I drank my cup of coffee.... except sweetened with Stevia, and a little non-fat milk.  YUK!  ={  It was gross.... For lunch I ate my salad & realized Stevia isn't so bad on strawberries, in fact, it's just as good as sugar!  When I got home, I made my dinner -- baked flounder in chicken broth with Tony C.'s Creole Seasoning, Cilantro leaves, and red pepper, also with some squeezed lemon juice.  I steamed 4 stalks of asparagus with garlic powder, salt and lemon juice.  I also had one clementine orange.  I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty my lunch and dinner were!  = ]  Instead of my beloved glass of shiraz, I took my sparkling mineral water with vanilla creme liquid stevia drops to bed with me... it was like having a cream soda!  I was not hungry... ALL DAY LONG!  Great day number 1!!!
