R2 VLCD Day 33

Weight - 167.8

(Rolling up my sleeves)  Okay I can really do this.  I can really be in the 150s before Christmas.  I'm in the zone right now so instead of stopping at 40 days on December 10th, I'm going until Dec 22nd and be in P3 for Christmas morning.  I can skip the biscuits and hashbrowns for one Xmas breakfast, but I'll be able to have eggs, bacon, and sausage with no problems, as well as my famous prime rib for New Years Eve.


Breakfast
Coffee with vanilla cream liquid stevia

Throughout the day
Triple threat tea


Lunch - (164 calories)
**Breaded scallops with a celery salad

215 g celery, diced
2 tbsp Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Preheat oven to 375 degreesF. Combine crushed bread crumbs and seasonings in a baggie.  Moisten scallops and shake in the baggie to coat.  Place scallops and leftover coating in oven save baking dish.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until scallops start to crack open a bit.

I have to say for not being a scallop eater, these are the bomb!  I haven't been eating my grissini, but I decided I wanted something more than just seasonings.  Also I'll be danged if I'm going to leave any of the crumbs for the garbage troll.  I'm gonna eat those too!
