Dandelion Root Tea: Day 1

Weight: 121

Today was weigh day, so I figured I might as well start the dandelion tea regimen and see how it goes. Supposedly by next Wednesday I should be down to 116. That would be great! That would put me where I was back in September, before the holiday weight. Woohoo!

So today I went to Town and Country and got some Dandelion Root Tea (marketed as PMS tea, LOL!) and some 100% unsweetened cranberry juice (that stuff is expensive!) and made up a batch of the drink. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it tastes good, but it could be much worse. I drank 2 liters of it this afternoon.

I figure if nothing else I drank 2 liters of water. Actually, I drank more than that today because I'd already had some of my water for the day when I started drinking the weight loss drink (WLD). So it should still be good for me, even if it doesn't do wonders. But I am, of course, hoping it will do wonders. =D

On the calorie front, I kept myself to 1300 calories. Woohoo! One day at a time, and today was good.

According to Jillian...
