Attack phase is complete!

So I survived my two day attack phase!  I weighed myself this morning on this fancy scale we have at work and let me just say it's been 4 years since I've been under 127 and I started this diet hovering around 128.  Even with doing P90X for 90 days I did not lose a SINGLE POUND.  This morning it said 124.5!!!  I vaguely remember being 124ish a few years ago but I don't remember what I looked like.  I don't know where it came off though, but my dress pants are noticably looser today :)  A lot of it could be water weight, but I've been drinking a TON of water, carbonated flavored (no cal) water, coffee, and tea.  I had a salad for breakfast, which is kind of odd but I couldn't have been more excited to have veggies!  I actually brought 2 salads today, one for breakfast and one for lunch.  And two plain greek yogurts and I had a "latte" for breakfast.  I'm definitely going to be doing the happy dance all day!  Now here's what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast - A protein powder "latte"
I went shopping and went about 4 hours after I had this before I had any more food.  I was starting to get pretty hungry/weak feeling.  I definitely don't recommend going 4 hours without food on this diet.

Lunch - I went to the grocery store because I couldn't stand the thought of more tofu.  I bought some fat free feta cheese, fat free cottage cheese, and some fat free cheese slices.  I had 2 of the cheese slices while I microwaved the tofu from the day before.  Luckily I kind of filled up on the cheese so I didn't have to eat too much of the tofu.  For a snack I had some fat free feta with balsalmic vinegar, so it ALMOST tasted like a caprese salad.  Today I can add tomatoes to that! 

Dinner - I'm not sure I had an official dinner yesterday, but later in the day I had a huge cup of ff cottage cheese and a galette/pancake.  I also had a lot of skim milk throughout the day.

This morning, I wasn't about to die of starvation, which was awesome!  And I saw 124.5.  That means I lost an estimated 3.5 pounds in my attack phase, even though the chart estimated I'd only lose 1.6 pounds.  So some of that may have been water, but I'm happy either way :)
