The final count down.

Sorry, you don't get a nudy pic of me.

But you get this wonder drawing I made instead.

Here are the diet deets:

That's a combined total of  17.5  inches lost over the course of 30 days!

The latest.

This is day 1 & day 31. 

 I am honestly shocked by this photo comparison. 

No photo shop, no sucking in.

Given, the lighting in Day 1 isn't fabulous...but still, this is pretty great.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves though, the side profile shot is way better than the full frontal...which I am not sure if I want to post yet.

Well, why don't you cry about it, Saddlebags.

I am now maintaining my new weight (phase 3) and adding in foods I wasn't allowed in Phase 2 of the diet. 

I made a delicious Paleo Granola because I have been craving cereal

Recipe Here

It called for honey, which isn't Phase 3 friendly. 

No sugars allowed.

So I used a very small amount.

It's also much better after you refridgerate it a bit so that the coconut oil can completely solidify.

I, of course couldn't wait to gobble it down and it crumbled into bits.

I also had some sour cream today.

Dairy has a variety of different effects on people, so who knows how mine will handle that.

I also bought some Coconut Milk to eat with my granola.

e 

I bought the Unsweetened, because the vanilla & original flavors had more sugars added.

The verdict:

tastes like I am drinking paper.

So I cut it with half 2% milk. That helped, but not fabulous.

I think I prefer Almond Milk for now.

Also all this coconut stuff is making the tummy rumble and rattle.

If you didn't know this already , coconut is a natural laxative.

That goes for all things coconut; oil, butter, juice, milk etc. 

I found this out the hard way on my Honeymoon in Jamaica...

*And you though drinking out of a coconut with a straw was sooooo cute*

Buyer Beware.
