The Sonoma Diet Day 3
I have spent a lot of time shopping and in the kitchen the last few days. It has all resulted in delicious food. After picking up most of my produce and herbs at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, I made a trip to the grocery store to pick up additional items. Then today I went to a health food oriented market, Sprouts, to find the more obscure items. They had it all but I think I had to ask 4 times where something was. I needed wheat berries, and quinoa, and whole wheat bread crumbs. We had the quinoa tonight in a pilaf along with Braised Pork Tenderloin with Olives and Capers and a spinach salad. It was very good.
Yesterday, New Years Eve, I managed to eat healthy by bringing lobster and crab and cole slaw (from the diet recipes of course) to a party and drinking just a little champagne. We also danced – exercise is good! Earlier that day, we were scuba diving (that’s were we got the crab and lobster) and it all helped contribute to 3 pounds weight loss. Nice to get off to a good start!

that sounds like a kick ass sonoma meal! I’m about ready to start this plan again this weekend and I’m looking forward to dropping a few pounds. I’ve tried the program 2 years ago and it worked great. I’d like to follow your progress so I hope you stick with the blog. Good luck…. I know this will work for you if you can get through the first wave. One Tip Don’t get too worried about your weight loss on a day to day basis…. just weigh in once a week at the same day and time so any rebounds or plateaus don’t get you discouraged.

Thanks for your positive support rran! I know what you mean by rebounds and plateaus. I am too early in this one to have them yet. I do love the food and think it will keep me motivated to stay on track. Good luck to you too,
