Still loosing although it was another crazy day for me. We had friends that decided they wanted to come over to play cards and stayed until 9:30. So I didn't get to eat my normal dinner. I did have chicken and some tangelos, but no veggies. Just to be on the safe side, I'm planning on an apple day tomorrow.

Down another .6 today despite the extra orange and almonds last night. It was a crazy day today. I had a meeting that went later then expected and after picking up my daughter to runs some errands it's was after 8 by the time we got home and I didn't bring anything with me to eat. So I had an apple about 7 and an orange when I got home with a handful of almonds.

R2P2 - Day 17

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 150.1
Gain/Loss -.5

I've lost what I gained yesterday. I'm hoping tomorrow will drop me down below 150! It's seams like I've been stuck here for a while. I've also decided that for the rest of this phase I'm going to do an apple day once a week unless my weight loss really kicks in again. I've heard that it does at the end of the 3rd week and the 4th week. I hope so. At this rate It's going to be difficult for me to make my goals without staying on the program longer. I had hoped to be down 30 pounds from my LDW of 155, which would put me at 125, but that's another 25 pounds and I only have 23 more days to go. So I can either do another round later in the spring or I can hang in there and see how much more I can lose staying on the drops a few more days. I guess it will depend on what I"m weighing at the end of the 40 days!

Breakfast - 5

Still not eating the bread. Hoping it will help with the weight loss. I did finish all my water today and had several cups of tea on top of that. I just can't wait to get below 150! It's like the halfway mark. Plus I can't remember the last time I weighed below 150. I think it was after I joined Weight Watchers the first time back in 2003!

R2P2 - Day 16

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 150.6
Gain/Loss +.5

I was so disappointed today to have gained. I really thought today would be the day I dropped below 150! Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Every time I get discouraged I remind myself that I've lost a total of 29.2 pounds since last year. That's amazing! Just another .8 and I'll be down 30 pounds with only 20 more to go. That keeps me motivated to stick with it.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 225

100 g chicken breast
2 c cabbage
apple

Dinner - 235

100 g ground sirloin steak (made into a patty)
1 small tomato
1 slice red onion
brown mustard
strawberries

I had a bun less hamburger for dinner. It was a nice change of pace. I'm not a big fan of hamburgers but it was very good. I cheated a little with the slice of onion, but who wants to eat only tomato on their hamburger?
