Cycle 2/ Phase 1/ Day 24

I've been an absentee blogger.  We got back from Savannah yesterday.  It was a great trip.  I had a blast and I don't think either of us were ready to come home.  I am glad to be back though.  My weight should get back to normal now.  I gained a pound (as you'll see below) even though I didn't cheat and I just had a hard time.  I think it had to do with water.  I wasn't able to drink as much.  Things are back to normal now though.  Fortunately when we go to Disney I'll be in phase 3.  I'm happy though.  I'm almost under the 200 mark!  That's huge!  I started at 234 or 236.  I'll have to go back and look.  Before that I weighed even more.  I was 242 at one point.  That was right when Russ left.  I don't have a lot to update at the moment.  I'm actually pretty tired.

My current weight is 202.6.  I lost 1.2 lbs from yesterday.  Finally!  This week didn't produce the numbers I wanted for the week, but really they're right on target at 0.54 lbs a day.  It should be 0.5 - 1 lb a day.  So, I guess that's ok.  Hopefully this week will be much better numbers though.  I'm really hoping to be closer to 0.8-1 lb a day.  That would get me closer to my over all goal.

cycle 2/ Phase 1/ Day 21

Today was a big shock when I stepped on the scale.  I wasn't having the stalls I was last time, but it has been a little slower than when I started.  I'm not too worried.  I'm glad to be over with the first cycle.  It's nice to know what to expect.  The hardest part has been being on vacation and not eating out.  I think tomorrow we're going to Bonefish.  Raleigh really wants to go, so I promised her we would.  I may cheat a little and have Salmon or Tuna instead of a white fish.  I don't know.  Maybe they'll have a healthy white fish dish.  That would be great!  If not, then I'll just do a grilled chicken salad.  Well, I'm going to get off here.  I'm supposed to be vacationing.  We have a big day planned tomorrow.  We have a carriage ride scheduled.  That should be really fun!  I have never seen the historic parts of Savannah.  We did Tybee Island today and I tried so hard to keep up with water intake.  That was hard.  Anyway.... Here's the latest...

Cycle 2/ Phase 1/ Day 20

Well, I haven't had the loss this week that I wish I had.  It's ok.  I think I know what the problem is.  Not food.  I'm eating like I should.  I packed all my food and traveled with it.  I think it's that 1. I'm on my cycle  2. I haven't been able to drink enough water and  3. I've been doing a lot of walking.  So, I'm ok with it.  I'm going down not stalling.  So, here's a table of my recent phase..

This is what it's like for me to travel.  I wash my dishes in the sink and have all my proteins and veggies and fruits in the hotel fridge.  I have never used it for anything but beer and left over pizza.  So, this is pretty exciting!  

I should be so excited right now, but I have to say that I'm a little bummed.  I really want to eat some good food here in Savannah.  I've been doing so well though, that I really don't want to mess it up!  Sigh....  This cycle will be over before I know it.  20 more days until the end of this phase.  I'm doing a 40 day phase this time.  Yay!  I'm already feeling a little better about myself.  Clothes are starting to fit a little bit better.  Well, I'm going to get off here.  I need to take care of my kiddo and go to the store real quick.  We've got a big day tomorrow and the next.  

Cycle 2/ Phase1/ Day 14

I may not be able to blog for the next few days.  I'm going to be traveling.  I've prepared all my meals for 5 days.  The only thing I haven't prepared are the veggies.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that yet.  My hotel has a fridge in the room, so I hope that holds it all.  Other than that.... I just don't know.  So, the past 3 days have been like this... -1.2, -2, and today is -1.  So, I feel positive.  I'm at -10.7 for this cycle and -25.7 total.

Cycle 2/ Phase1/ Day 11

I forgot to post today!  Well, today wasn't a great loss day.  I realized last night or maybe this morning, that leeks are NOT on the list.  Dang!  So, maybe that's a reason I don't know.  Anyway...  it's late now and I'm just going to update the loss and put a new chart.


-0.2

Here's the table I've been working on for this cycle.  Red means a gain.  Hopefully there will always be more black numbers than red. *wink*
