Hello Junkies,
How do you feel about being JJs? Jessica junkies? There must be all of one other person reading this besides me, so possibly not plural. To the side you see Easy Balsamic Chicken adn my new and improved Roasted Vegetable Medley.

My good mood from this morning has continued throughout the day, there's nothing like a little number on the scale to make me happy. Despite the inital start up costs the Sonoma Diet has been surprisingly easy on the bank account as well, since I'm not going out and eating/drinking with friends.

I have been rethinking my rewards schedule. I really need rewards, as you might have noticed from the puzzle, and massage planing etc. My inital rewards schedule was a reward for the end of each wave and a reward for the the beginning of each new (lower) decade of pounds. But now the rewards are coming too fast. Tomorrow is day 10 of Wave 1, but I am extending it until day 12 to get some more meals in since we have done seconds a couple times. So at any rate, new reward schedule is needed..
End of wave 1/first decade will be a trip to the casino with my cousin for his Bday! Whee, that will be fun and I will def say goodbye to Wave 1 with a glas of vino. We will see what else.

Today was a good day, except I left the stove on from 9:15ish to 2:30ish, Whoops.
I also had another meat finding issue, this time I couldn't find Halibut, it's not a huge deal since I can rearrange the schedule a bit, but any ideas for a Halibut substitute? Is any Basa/Catfish type thing ok?

Wave 1 Day 9
1/2c Egg Whites & glass of tea

4 cuke slices w Laughing Cow Light Herb Cheese SPread

Chicken Pita w Cucumber Yogurt Sauce-is there not end to the delicious Sauces? I left out the mint because I didn't have any.

Easy Balsamic Chicken-this had been marinating for about 48 hours, but tasted the same as the stuff that only marinated for 1 hour
Roasted Vegetable Medley-My best oven roasting experience thus far. I premixed the water, oil and herbs and found the result much more pleasant (no crispy roasted herbs in your mouth poking you) I also did the vegetables a bit different than suggested, extra cauliflower, some broccoli and less green peppers, (I'm kinda sick of this particular super food at the moment). Next time I will put the green beans in a little later, they didn't need as much time as the cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprouts. BTW how awesomoe are brussel sprouts, they get quite the bad rap.
