No, I didn’t follow protocol yesterday.  More than likely, I won’t lose any more on this round.  I’m really ready to stop, all I keep seeing, everywhere I look, are CARBS!

And this started before my friend brought dinner over!

I decided yesterday, that I should return the pan to my friend with something in it, so I made brownies, with added chocolate chips.  Yes, I licked the bowl and ate some of the chips…and even included some peanut butter from the snack I’d made my hubby.

For our dinner, my hubby wanted to make oven baked chicken breasts.  He uses soy flour for the coating, so it’s low carb, but not protocol.  After I ate my fish and veggies, I decided I wanted one of those, too, so that was extra fat and protein; I removed the skin and the breading, of course, but it was pretty oily.

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get into the 140’s.  I’m OK with that, as long as I stay in the low 150’s, and since I have experience with gaining back up to 155, I’m nervous.

I’m hoping my maintenance plan comes through for me!

I knew I’d be up, but I couldn’t resist. 

My friend texted me that she was bringing dinner over for us, as the neighborly thing to do since my hubby was recovering from surgery.  She brought beef stroganoff, apple crisp and yeast rolls.  I didn’t have any of the rolls, but I had plenty of everything else!

There was a lot of love in that food.

Finally back to my lowest weight!

All it took was following protocol…duh!

With everything that’s gone on, I’ve considered stopping early.  But then, I’ve only got a few days of injections left and I’m only a couple pounds away from being in the 140’s, which will give me the buffer zone I’ve been looking for.  I’ll have achieved my goal.

That’s sort of scary.  No excuses anymore. 

My body isn’t perfect, either.  I do not look like any of the Bond Girls.  There’s still fat there I wish wasn’t.  Maybe that will change shape, which is probably, or actually disappear, when I start working out, which I’m not counting on it.

But it’s all about me now, no covering up, nothing to protect me.

I think I’m OK with that.

Still up that same .5 again today.

Too much chocolate delight and not enough water, at the very least yesterday.  Hoping that being out this morning with my DH at his PT appointment will help restore a sense of normalcy and I can finish out this week strong.

R7P2VLCD23 – 151.5

Still up the same .5 that I gained on Saturday, from Friday's indulgences.

That's OK, though, because those Ritz crackers are still around, and I love them!  I also made another batch of chocolate delight, and it’s really good.  I ate way too much of that, too.  So, I compensated and didn’t eat any of my breads and skipped one fruit.  Not exactly the best nutritional exchange!

Funny thing, as I was writing this, I remembered yesterday feeling sort of "hung over" afterward eating the crackers, a very slight headache and dry mouth feeling.  I do not like my food to make me feel that way, so I take it back...I do NOT love Ritz crackers!

At least I didn't gain. And now Paul is feeling better so I think it will be much easier to relax this coming week and finish this round.
