Do not, I repeat, do not cheat on this diet! And if you just can't help being naughty, do not do it the night before your weigh-in!!
So disappointing! I was down .6 of one pound!! Should I be happy because the numbers on the scale are still going in the right direction? I suppose I should, but when I had lost 2 lbs this week on my own scale as of Friday morning and come Monday evening only .6 shows, I am mad at myself for blowing it so badly last night.
This is where I went wrong: 3 glasses of wine, some brown rice, extra protein(because I wanted to try a couple bites of everything my friend made), a few low fat veggie chips, 3 slices of low-fat cheese and 3 crackers, 2 cookies and almost a half of a canoli!
Cookies and canoli? Ack!!! I need to learn to just avert my eyes from the canoli and cookies or any form of dessert! Don't look! Pretend it isn't there...or if it is right in front of your face like this was, pretend you know it tastes bad...that's the ticket, that canoli has gone off...that cookie looks stale...yup, that's the way to go.
Try to remember the big picture, remember your goal, remember how fast May 29th will be here and also that white is not slimming!
If I do this right, I should be able to lose at least 25 pounds between when I started and May 29th. If I stick to it(really stick to it, not half-ass it) and also exercise, I should be able to lose more, possibly even the 40 I want to lose.
Sticking to it all the way is not easy, but I know if I do it, I will be very happy on my wedding day. I will worry about maintaining once I get there and I get the help from the nurse practitioner to learn how to maintain properly with this diet plan.

I am in a little town called St Cloud, FL. I understand that the dr's office in Lake Mary (like an hour each way). I am conflicted. I have to work M - Th, so that leaves Friday, and I have my sweet baby granddaughter on Friday (she's 16 months old).
ReplyDeleteHere's how I think you can look at your weight loss: You LOST. You didn't gain, you didn't stay the same, you lost. Remember, you have to get completely naked and walk out and greet your new husband with a great sexy dance, that he is going to remember forever. (okay, obviously I made that up, but use it as your encouragement! You will want to look hot for that night). Go find something a size or 2 smaller and hang it up in your kitchen. Every time you go in there - look at and believe you are going to wear it - if you get your butt out of the kitchen (empty handed)! LOL - Hang in there, Linny. I'm rooting for you. Melissa
Hi Melissa! I know that area. I have an aquaintence in Kissimme and I used to live in Hollywood back in the late 70s. I envy your warm weather!
ReplyDeleteAn hour is far to go there and back every week. I hope they get into your area soon. That's a long ride w/ a baby if you had to take your grandbaby, as well, although they sleep as soon as the car gets moving usually! Not exactly fun time to spend w/ her either!
Must be nice-I don't have kids and met my sweetheart much too late to start.
This morning, I was down 2.1 so I am hoping that is the real weight loss.
At 48, there will be no naked dance but I wish I had the confidence for it! My fiance is a slightly uptight Brit so he'd be more mortified than me anyway!
I will be better this week so hopefully next week the scale will have a nice dip in those pesky numbers!
