Day 39
133 lbs...
Well, that's mildly disappointing. This have never been about the "number", but I was hoping to keep losing in small increments -- there's only 6 lbs to go to reach my goal weight. OK, fine -- 8 lbs. I know Dr. Mike says that the weight loss slows down now, but I didn't expect to backtrack, even a little. Three days of having carbs (and minimal carbs at that...) and I'm going in the wrong direction? Maybe it was last night's beef. Maybe "cow" is the problem and this is just bloating. I'll have to see about that...
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt with strawberries, green tea
Morning Snack -- Granny Smith apple
Lunch -- mushroom Cup of Soup (yeah, real healthy, that...)
Afternoon Snack -- Kashi granola bar
Dinner -- BBQ chicken breast , steamed baby carrots, small green salad with tomatoes and fat-free Italian dressing
At least there has been no change in the way my clothes are fitting -- actually, another pair of capris are too big. I was running errands earlier today and caught sight of myself in a mirror at Sears -- I looked riduculous in my baggy pants...lol! That shopping trip might be happening sooner than I expected...
Day 40
Still feeling great!
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 2 scrambled eggs, 1 slice whole grain toast (no margarine), 1/2 grapefruit, green tea, probiotic supplement
Morning Snack -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt with red grapes, coffee
Lunch -- grape tomatoes, sliced cucumber, 1/2 turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with cranberry mustard, mayo, lettuce (since I had toast with breakfast, I was only allowed one more starch for the day, hence the 1/2 sandwich...)
Dinner -- pizza (yeah, I know...)
This will be my last post for a while -- heading out for vacation tomorrow. I will be as careful as possible while we're away -- I've already proven to myself that I can eat out responsibly, so now I will be putting myself to the test. I'll be back in 10 days, hopefully without too much damage done. Thank you for following me this far -- hope you will be here when I get back!
