R3 Phase 2 Day 21

Weight 147.0

Down 1.4.  I'm still holding my breath until the scale tomorrow morning before I pass judgement on my nutty steak day.  So far so good though.  Really who knows in the end if I would have had the drop regardless or if I would have dropped more.

Family Sunday today.  It's so great being able to actually cook a meal for more than just myself in P2 on a Sunday.  Until this round, I've literally cooked two meals each time.  One I could eat and one I could watch others enjoy.

By the way, I tried the Costco Kirkland Frozen Tilapia Loins tonight.  I've been eating the Kirkland Wild Alaskan Cod and found them to be very steady as far as taste, etc.  Typically tilapia tastes a bit fishier to me.  These fillets run about 135 g each when thawed.  Since fish is a lower calorie protein I usually do more than 100 g.  I dry pan fried them in spicy seasonings.  They are what I'd call bronzed not blackened.  They were delicious. Although I went to heavy with the Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning and it was very salt.  Next time I'll switch to Old Bay Low Sodium instead.
