Holding Patterns

Day 41... 23.8 to go (down 16 lbs)

Same as it ever was... I've now spent one full week at the same weight.  Not up, not down... just the same.  I had a long, hard look at last week today, and realized that I only had 2 workouts, and that's 3 down from my norm.  So perhpas I'm not actually plateau-ed as much as just not quite on my game. 

Tomorrow is the end of the 6-week period I committed to for this change.  I'm going to keep going.  I feel healthier than I have in a long time, and even though I'm sure I'll be lucky to lose even a 1/2 lb a week moving forward, I have a great start.  :)

Day 35

5 weeks... 23.8 to go; down 16 lbs.  :-)

I've had a strange eating day -- Garlic & Herb Couscous with fresh corn, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms for breakfast and lunch.  I ate the entire batch I cooked (must've been hungrier than I thought).

For dinner, I"m going to have a salad -- I feel the need, the need for green.

Day 34 -- 25.4 to go (down 14.4 lbs)

Almost five weeks in, and continuing to make slow and steady progress. 

Two things I learned this week:
1 - my period is entirely different on this diet.  I'll spare the gorry details, but far, far easier. 
2 - my workouts really are quite impactful.  While I started today down 14.4 lbs, after eating breakfast (oatmeal and a fresh peach) and then spending an hour with Michael & Company, when I jumped on the scale post-workout, I was down 15.4.  And that's with soaking wet hair!
