Jami: Down 1.0
Justin: Down 1.0
This morning my injection site hurt quite a lot. Tolerable but still annoying. Woot woot, yesterday was definitely easier than the day before! And I am very thankful for continued consistent results!! I can really see where my love handles are disappearing each day. :) Justin is really starting to miss food though. I hope he can pull through that. He had to have half of a large grapefruit last night just to get his mind off of food. Anyone have any other suggestions of super small things he can have at night?
I also had a wonderful victory at lunch yesterday; went to Olive Garden with a couple of coworkers and didn't cheat! Actually, my chicken and cucumbers covered in lemon juice and pepper was really really tasty. The only thing I did was smell the chocolate sauce served with deep fried donuts and still wasn't tempted! It really is comforting and encouraging to see steady results. I don't know how I would handle small losses mixed in with large ones, too much stress!
Here comes the snow though...
2:06pm: I am at home watching Project Runway while the kids finish their naps and I noticed something wonderful in the bathroom: I am already seeing a significant decrease in cellulite!!! My skin is responding better than I could have ever imagined and I know that when I am done my skin will not betray that I ever carried the extra weight. I wonder if the major players on The Biggest Loser have the same experience?
One final note, no where in the book does it tell you to expect far fewer trips to the bathroom for number two. It makes sense though, since you are only taking in 500 calories there cannot really be much extra that isn't used. Now don't misinterpret that to mean you use less toilet paper because that is Not the case! In fact, you'll become a lot more acquainted with the nearest bathroom, especially if you use the teas and coffee to fend off the hunger pangs. In case you couldn't tell, I like that little bit of extra TMI to make me memorable.

Tell Justin to hang in there!! It's only been 7 days! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSome days when I felt like I really needed an extra snack I would eat an additional apple, or I would eat a handful (ONE handful) of organic raw trail mix. Sometimes it affected my weight loss, sometimes it didn't. If I were him I would start counting down the days until the end of your phase two, and use that as motivation to stay on protocol.
I've reminded myself quite a few times when hungry, "Pam...this isn't forever. You only have ___ days to go, and you've already lost ___. At the end of this you want to know that you lost as MUCH as you possibly could, so go find something else to distract yourself!" HAHAHA!
