R2P2D12 – 171.5

Weight: 171.5

I'm surprised that I'm actually down half a pound, considering that I went over 500 calories yesterday.  That is a little bit perplexing in and of itself, because I was eating on protocol.  I have to go for my food logs and figure out where I need to cut back.

I picked up some coconut oil to use for frying, as a friend of mine uses it without a problem, and used a little bit of that last night to cook my shrimp in, so I'm quite pleased that didn't cause a gain.  I don't plan to use it often, as I think steaming or grilling is a better way to go, but it's nice to have some choices.

I use some Smooth Move tea last night without much result, so will try it again today.  Other people swear by it, and now I have a whole box, so might as well!

The dog got me up this morning at 3 AM, and I thought it was going to go back to sleep right away but my husband was a little restless, and I'm a light sleeper, so I've been awake since 3 AM.  Not getting enough sleep will definitely also affect getting rid of the weight, so I'm really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.  I know I won't get a nap today, as I will be working on Bronco quilts, and there's the game tonight, and of course homework.

As unsatisfactory as this slowdown is, I can still be in the 160s by next week, and I'm really looking forward to that.
