I am going to have to stop w/ the Day___ because I never know and have to stop and think...and it's easier to just say what day it is!
I got on the scale this morning and I was down 2.1 from this past week, not the .6 that showed up on the Wellness Center scale. That was a huge relief!
So, it's is a 2 week total of 8.1 which I am happy with.
I hear of some people doing crazy good on Ideal Protein-like 20-30 pounds their 1st month. I could see that happening for a man but I'll bet it's more rare for a woman. We just don't lose weight that fast...our damn bodies like to hold their fat! Scientifically, I think it's something about protecting our bones and organs and helping save us from the lean times when the hunter gatherers are having bad luck with the hunting and gathering....stop trying to protect me and go away, damn fat! The last lean time we had in the US was way before I was born by 40 years or so.
I remember my dad's stories about the Depression and how he and his brothers and sister would walk to school in winter with hot potatoes in their pockets fresh out of the oven. It kept their hands warm because they often didn't have gloves and then it was their breakfast when they got to school and their lunch. Of course, if I ate 2 baked potatoes every day, I'd turn into a fat cow!(ok, so more of a fat cow than I am now!)
Today I bought a high protein, low carb, 0 fat bar at the supermarket as a snack as it's way cheaper than an Ideal Protein snack. I think it was called Think Thin in a brownie flavor. It wasn't great and I tossed the last bit. It wasn't much different than the Ideal Protein bar I tried last night instead of my usual drink as my night-time snack. Both had kind of an odd flavor, but filling. The drinks I like taste better, I like the cappuccino drink, especially if you put it in the freezer for awhile. The wild berry is also good. That one is good in the freezer, as well! Got to change it up a little to keep it interesting!
Comments are welcome if you are reading,folks. Please be nice, though. My blog is no place for nastiness. Ideas, words of encouragement, funny stories, your results on Ideal Protein or other diet,stuff like that. So far I only have one person commenting and she makes my day when she does because I know at least someone is getting something out of my journey.

Hello from Canada.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog by accident but enjoyed reading it so I kept reading. I think it's a great idea. I'd start my own but I know how horrible I am at keeping up with things like this. Always good intentions but you know what they say...."the path to hell is paved with good intentions"...lol.
I will be starting Ideal Protien on Saturday. I'm hoping the results are as good as you and alot of other people say. I love carbs so I'm thinking this should be really interesting.
I was in Las Vegas this past weekend, never been there before and could't believe the SHOPPING. OMG!!! The best EVER!!!! Unfortunatly I'm absolutly miserable with myself and my weight so I decided that I am going back to Vegas in the fall to buy a new wardrobe because by then I will need one.
So now you have abit of a following. Nothing like a little peer pressure to keep you motivated:) I wish you luck and all the best. Keep away from the wine!!! :)
Hi Tammie! Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteKeep me posted on your experience w/ Ideal Protein. I have a friend who wants to start it now, too.
It's so exciting that people are reading me. I have to try and be interesting and funny so I get followers.
I know what you mean about shopping-it sucks when we aren't the size we want to be and it's great when we feel good about ourselves. I want to shop in my own closet when I can fit back into my thinner clothes. I didn't get to wear them for very long when I went off Weight Watchers and started gaining it back. Take care & let me know how it goes for you. God bless!
