No loss. Having constipation trouble though so that could be it. Three more days after today and then I'm supposed to maintain for 5 weeks. I've been thinking about it. I think I will still diet, but I will do it my own way. The eating every two hours thing is good- it maintains a steady burn of calories. I remember that from karate. The fruit for breakfast ONLY- By ITSELF, is good to because it burns fat. The setting a goal- in this case August 25, which is the 5 weeks mark, and the healthy eating with no flour or sugar is good too. I'm not sure why I am not losing. This diet is seriously restricted in foods, I wonder if that's it. Maybe as I branch out into other fruits and other vegetables the weight will begin to move again. Maybe my body got used to these foods quickly? I would have to do this diet again to see. It's the only way to know. I will do my 'thing' for the 5 weeks and then see where I land. I may try this again just as an experiment. Theoretically, it should have worked better than it did. Still, I did lose a decent amount. Had I only got on the scale once this month I would've been jumping for joy. I think the way around that is to get on the scale each day as ordered but to fluff it off until the once a month date rolls around. In this case, the 25 of each month. It might be the way to go. After the last three days of this diet I am going back to the once a month weigh in. These daily weigh- In's are depressing. Even if I lost a half a pound or whatever, I'm constantly reminded of how large the number is, hence that I'm a tub, you know? I don't need to feel that every day. Once a month is quite enough. Three more days- then the all protein breakfast.
My sister in law had bacon and eggs as her all protein breakfast. I'm not a bacon fan. I like the smell, as long as its not overwhelming, but I gag at the thought of the taste. Ugh! No thanks! I think I'll go with steak and eggs. My husband would like that meal too- although he IS a bacon fan. I don't cook it for him though. He needs to take better care of himself too- I refuse to help him to NOT do that. So, forging ahead..."Whale-Ho..." sigh... See you next blog...;-)
