Day 19 - Down 1.2 and 1.8

Jami: Down 1.2
Justin: Down 1.8

See, told ya. :) One more day and I will be right back on track to the one pound per day, same for Justin. And let us tell you, cheating is SO not worth it. Not just the following days of working hard to get back on track, but the bloating, fatigue, heartburn and terrible deuces. Don't do it.

Every day there are little things we are noticing. Today Justin mentioned that I haven't been complaining of terrible sleep lately. I thought about it, and yep, I have been sleeping better and better the longer I am on this. Now I can't say it is all from the diet because of the other things going on in my life, but I am sure it is at least partly helping. The other thing I recently noticed is that I am not hungry nor experiencing those random hunger pangs. Hopefully this is the beginning of my emotional break from food. You know, the part where you no longer crave food for emotional comfort.

Now Pam, I wanted to give you some preliminary Phase 3 advice (even though I haven't been there, this is mental attitude stuff). DO NOT buy steaks unless you have to do a steak day. By not buying them now, you are not telling yourself that you will mess up and that the steak is there for that occasion. This goes for everything is life, as I am sure you know being the athlete you are. People tend to set themselves up to fail in the name of caution. Justin and I are going to buy only the food recommended and not the steak unless we have to do steak days. Plan to win, the grocery store is convenient enough that you don't need to stalk up. :)

And Lany, no excuses, order the injections. David will see your incredible results and that will dissolve any needle apprehensions he has (or at least minimize them). It'll be harder for you at first, but well worth it.

Shout out to Cat; Congrats on the In-Person Interview!!! It's a wonderful game plan to be on the diet for a few days before and during the interview. They are going to love you!! Who wouldn't?

News on my interviews yesterday: they both were AWESOME!! The first one, The Perfect Job, was the best though. It was not a traditional interview AT ALL. None of those "What is your biggest strength/weakness, what do you bring to the table, why do you want to work here? BS" It was about my personality and work ethic. Which are solid solid compared to the pile of beans labeled 'What I have done." So he emailed me last night me to tell me they are checking references today and will be extending an offer this week. Everyone cross your fingers I get the amount I asked for. :) Thanks all for your support!!

Off to make backups for when I leave this place.

Jami: 159.6; Total Weight Lost: 13.2 (back in the 150's! Woot!)
Justin: 201.2: Total Weight Lost: 13.6
