Just a quick note. I’m struggling! I just finished my 5th serving of salmon in 48 hours. That’s a LOT of salmon. Today I “cheated” by having spinach sauteed with garlic with my lunch. But it was good, and I figure that’s an OK cheat. But will I make it through the rest of the day? Not sure.
The bonus of this is that I have lost 3 lbs! That’s nice! And my skin does look healthier so far. Not a huge difference by tiny lines are less noticeable and my saggy baggy neck is a little firmer (the skin is more elastic). I have a generally healthier glow, despite the fact that I am a little sleep deprived.
The biggest challenge – next to the monotany of the menu – is preparing the food. I had a dr’s appointment for my son at 8 am this morning. I had to get up, make that oatmeal/omlete/fruit breakfast, eat the eggs (I ate the oatmeal and fruit in the car) and drink the water, get the boys up and dressed/brushed and out of the house by 7am. Drop one at daycare and then drive the other downtown to the dr’s (a story for another day!) So fitting that meal in there was not easy – but actually not as bad as I thought it might be.
The question is, once I eat my corned beef and cabbage (a requirement when marrying into the McGovern family) on Saturday and the birthday cake for my son on Sunday – will all of my hard work be for nothing? Will the effects be immediately sucked out of my skin and into the fat and calories of my splurges? Hmmm….

I’m not getting this — it’s a diet specifically for better skin, right? Not for losing weight (although I guess skinnier skin is more attractive than its dimpled counterpart). So what’s the point of a three day diet? To convince you to go on the 28 day diet? To have better skin I’d guess you’d need to “diet” all the time — does he have a lifetime diet? Hopefully one that includes more than salmon, melon, egg whites, spinach, and oatmeal…only one of which I actually eat.

Do you mind if I poke or prod your face when I see you next?(Sunday Service? “Why is that usher running from that lady?”) Can I eat the cake that you don’t eat next time? : ) Good for you! When you succeed at all these things, it gives the rest of us slugs hope!
