Weight:  155

Well, I seem to be stalled at 155.  Day 3 at this weight, and I'm getting impatient to break into the 140's!

I'm not sure what I'm doing differently, if anything.  I know from experience that worrying about it and trying to make changes to get things moving is pretty ineffective; the body will do what it's gonna do, I just gotta keep to the program!

I have a harder time sticking to protocol on the weekends, though, especially this round since my hubby has been eating normal foods, where he didn't the first couple of rounds.  I have a habit of "nibbling off his plate", so to speak, which makes it worse.  The option:  to keep myself in check!

That being said, I really can see a huge difference in my body, even from just this round; the remaining area of fat on my midsection is much smaller, and seems to be firmer, where I can even imagine having only a normal midsection.  Oh, how I've wanted that for so long!  And now with this stall, it seems like it's just out of my grasp.  That's what's hard about what seems to be not making any progress.

So, I'll take my own advice and measure!  It is, after all, pounds and inches!

Happy Weekend!

OK, so I've been chewing gum this round...totally not protocol, but it has helped me a lot and doesn't seem to have caused any stalls.  Well, yesterday, someone brought in fruit breakfast bars from a bakery, you know the ones that look all healthy for you, and I totally LOVE those types of things.

I immediately popped gum in my mouth, and then proceeded to "chain chew" all day.  My temples and jaws are SO sore!!  While I didn't cheat, I didn't lose either, FYI, but I also have adjusted my dose down a notch the last couple of days, so hard to say what that's about.  I'm also getting close to goal, but I have 20+ more days to go, too.

Not worried about it, just reporting...

I hit 155 today!

In June 2010, I weighed 208 and never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd ever see 155.   I've extended this round and I think I'll be able to get 10-12 more pounds off of my belly.  What a mind bender!

OK, so looking back at my stats for the week, it would appear that I’ve only shed 2 pounds, so let me explain: I nibbled food from my hubby’s plate this last weekend, and it stalled me out.  So….I paid for it again.  SO not worth it!

Does anyone else get hungrier at home vs. when they are at work??

Yesterday I was out getting my hair done and running errands, so I planned ahead and took my lunch with me.  I ate at 11am, which isn’t much earlier than I normally eat at work, but by the time I got home at 2pm, I was really hungry!

I had another lunch of mostly stir fried veggies, added 2.2 oz more of protein, but I ended up nibbling on some other things too.  Of course, I'm UP A POUND this morning!  GRRRR!  I'm just disappointed in myself when I see the effects and then I worry that this setback will cost me ANOTHER week!

Today is another day, so can't focus on it or it'll drive me crazy.  I will be drinking LOTS of water today and if the “hungries” come around, it’s raw veggies and such for me!
