Today's weigh-in: 212 lbs. I lost 10 lbs in 5 days. Wow! I fully expect to gain at least half of that back within a week.
I survived the temptation of free donut Friday at work, and some meddlesome co-worker who gave me a stack of In-N-Out coupons that expire today. I'm practically in the clear.
Today's apple: Ambrosia. A very sweet, and very fragrant apple (I bought this a week ago in preparation, and smelling this apple has been a nice pasttime when the hunger pangs get too loud). Not as crisp as a Granny Smith or a Pink Lady, but not mealy and much better than a Golden Delicious or Rome. In fact, that's my order for best to worst: Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Ambrosia, Golden Delicious, Rome.
Here's the pic, next to my skull mug...which I guess symbolizes the death of the apple project.
Next challenge: eat nothing but a bushel of apples every day?

So...how was your post-apple feast? I had salmon in puff pastry Friday night. Yummm.
Mmmm...salmon in puff pastry. Gaaah (drool). See my next post for my rundown of my "falling off the apple cart" dinner.
I read about it. Coincidentally, I had just finished reading a newspaper article last week about Scott Adams and his restaurants (and how he has become a pointy-haired boss by helping to run the one you went to). There are two restaurants that he's partners in. Your feast sounded fabulous.
Another test
10lbs eh? that's wild! i posted a comment on your first day, and realized by now you'd be done. congrats!
10 lbs. isn't that impressive when I tell you that I've already gained it all back.
Good luck on your 20 day attempt! Let me know how it goes. I know I could've gone at least a few more days (longer if I included a can of tuna every day), but I had a dinner party. One thing I see whenever I try to diet--food is very social. If you really want to lose a lot of weight, drop your friends first.
