Ann Taylor Loft
I have been obsessed with Loft clothing lately. I don’t know why. Outfits like the one of the left are very attractive to me. I think i can wear this outfit and be comfortable. It has that relaxed style yet looks sexy at the same time. Not only can I wear jeans with this outfit, I can also wear trousers.
Though I had tried on the shirt, it seemed to not fit me very well. They only had a XS and a M. I’m a S. The XS fit but was kind of tigh around the arms. But the waist sat very awkwardly on my frame.
I am going to try to keep looking for a similar outfit and coloring that fits better. Hopefully it is out there.

Day 12
Breakfast: I do not remember breakfast except scarfing it down in minutes. I was starving when I woke up.
Lunch: Skirt steak salad… chewy. Lettuce was wilting a bit. Had onions on salad that gave a kick… but was a bit too much of a kick.
Dinner: I went to Luby’s. So the turkey sausages are left for another time. Luby’s on the other hand… was plentiful and hit the spot for me.
Snack 1 and Snack 2: Have not yet been eaten.
Overall: Yes I cheated at dinner. i do feel like I need to cheat 1 day a week. When I know I’m on a diet, the diet itself won’t work. Sometimes cheating helps with progress. (or am I just deluding myself?)

Day 11
Breakfast: The portions are getting larger. In a way. I was pretty full after breakfast. I was shocked that I chosed a meal with goat cheese. I am not a very adventurous eater. In my mind I am. But reality tells a different story. The goat cheese was a lot more pungent… a stronger taste. It wasn’t bad with all the other flavorings like eggs, sun dried tomato etc.
Lunch: Whoa.. another huge sandwich! It was the size of the whole plastic container! I love BBQ pulled pork. I can make that pretty easily. This recipe had mushrooms that added a juicy, sweet texture with the BBQ pork mix. Different.
Dinner: Crab cakes were delish! I don’t like the broccoli mash. It’s the 2nd or 3rd time I had it and it hasn’t grown on me.
Snack 1: Beef ravioli… umm umm good. every bite was cherished.
Snack 2: Pita pocket of curried egg salad… I wouldn’t have ever thought I like this. Tasted like a devil’s egg sandwich.

Fresh Diet Day 10
Wow, I was shocked when I opened the Fresh Diet bag today. The portions are getting bigger. Except for breakfast.
Breakfast: Quiche… wow.. really good. the mozzarella just oozed after heating. I felt like I was eating pizza. I didn’t really taste the zucchini though.
Lunch: When I saw thing panini, I thought I had hit the jackpot! It was huge!!!! I was sooo full after eating this sandwich. First time I felt full after a meal since forever!!! It was delicious. Then I realized, No meat?! What? How could that be? I could go veggitarian.
Dinner: I never would have thought this meal would fill me up. Tofu??? But it did. I was stuffed. Either my stomach is getting smaller or the portions are getting larger.
Snack 1: Chicken with lemon glaze.. I remember the chicken. I don’t remember the lemon glaze.
Snack 2: Sugar free and decadent chocolate cupcake. Give me the recipe!!!! It is addicting stuff.
Overal: I’m feeling good. I feel like I’m getting the hang of the portions. I do still get hungry in the middle of the day but it’s not bad. It does get bad around dinner time though. I don’t get off of work until 7 pm so I’m always rushing home and eating.

Wow it’s getting harder and harder to eat these foods. While they are good, I am still hungry after each meal. I start to crave other snacks.
Well this was what I had for the day:
Day 9 Fresh Diet
Breakfast: Still not a fan of ricotta cheese. I don’t know why I keep choosing it. I assume it’s because nothing else on the menu appeals to me. The ricotta cheese isn’t that flavorful. It is just a filling and it does enhance the other flavors of the bananas and the chocolate (or a substance that looks like chocolate but lacks the richness of chocolate).
Lunch: I really like lentil soup. But maybe I just got over tonsilitis so the lentil has that flakely outer layer. That made me cough a lot. The turket sausage was good but chewy.
– There are still no heating instructions with anything. Sometimes I might over heat the food causing chewiness.
Dinner: Very good. I love pork, beets, and pasta! But after the meal, I was still hungry so I actually took out a leftover meal from 2 nights ago: Fillet of Sole with Lemon Caper Sauce with Butternut Squash Puree and Sauteed Shitake Mushrooms.
Yes I had two dinners. I was really stuffed and I didn’t like the feeling.
Snack 1: Lamb.. yummy. chewy but yummy.
Snack 2: Mangoes and pudding. perfect combinations. Though the pudding looked different. It was more condensed than smooth like Jello pudding.
Overall, the meals are awesome! I love the variety and it is very easy to select your meals. I hadn’t selected any meals for the next two weeks, and I received a reminder email. I love the personal feeling with the Fresh Diet company. Really enjoying it.
