I am now halfway into DAY 4 of the Dr. Seigal's Cookie Diet. I am doing pretty well on it! I definitely am more partial to the chocolate flavored cookies. I tried the chocolate shake this morning and it is not terrible! The shake can be substituted for 2 cookies and it is definitely just as satisfying. Okay. I won't use the word satisfying. Satisfied is a word that I use after I have had a fabulous steak dinner. The shakes and cookies just keep me going. That is part of the problem is that they keep you from passing out and going crazy, but they are by no means satisfying.

The worst is grocery shopping on this diet because you literally can't have 98% of the whole store. So I have to try to ignore the gorgeous bakery section, artisanal cheese department, etc. It's just painful. But I just have to lose weight. My hunger to look good versus my hunger for tasty food is greater, and therefore I can look past these things, knowing that they will be there when I have achieved my goal weight.

Today I am going to roast a turkey breast for dinner with some veggies to accompany. It is one of the more healthy of Martha Stewart's recipes. I absolutely ADORE her and on this diet it is very hard to use her recipes. But again, it will be a reward to myself when this is all said and done.

I also had my first BM today while on the diet. I know it's gross and totally TMI but I can't believe it took me 4 days. Hopefully this is just a sign of my body adjusting to the new diet. UGH.

Alright, I am off to run errands, do laundry, cook, etc.

Post later!
