Done!
March 17th, 2007 @ 6:52 am

Well – it’s done. I just relucantly ate my oatmeal, fruit and “omlette”, completing 3 days of the Perricone Face-lift Diet. So here’s the “skinny” so to speak -

What worked:

  • I lost close to 4 lbs (so I guess it’s good for weight loss!)
  • My neck looks marginally improved – not quite so saggy. BUT – is that merely the result of losing weight? Probably plays a big part.
  • I did seem to have a little more energy – especially considering I had 2 nights of 6 or fewer hours of sleep and then had to be “on the go” the day after.

What didn’t work:

  • I have to say, truthfully I WANT my skin to look a lot better but I can’t really say there’s any noticeable improvement
  • My skin tone looks about the same as it did before

Is it worth it?:

  • Maybe to lose weight and feel good about what you’re eating (but big question – if I were to have my mercury levels tested right now, what would it look like? All that salmon…)

Oh yeah – and I forgot to mention a couple of tiny things :) . I did cheat twice last night. One rather small, and one pretty major!

I had a very small piece of pizza last night with my dinner – the rest of the family was eating it and it looked so good. Because we had a huge snowstorm, I resorted to frozen pizza but I swear it tasted unbelieveable to me!! Second, at that point I decided I needed a good snack last night. So I just took a flying leap off the wagon and ate a cupcake (I was making them for my son’s birthday) without frosting, though, and a little Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked frozen yogurt. Oooooh boy. Yummy!

I’ll let you know how fast the weight comes back on. I’m guessing by Monday with the weekend I have ahead of me…
