Well week one was a success ... although I struggled a bit ...
So, for my official weigh in ... I'm down 5lbs. I probably could have been more, but I broke my own no carb rule and had gluten free pizza Saturday night. And I don't regret it! I know that this has to be a lifestyle I can maintain so the odd bit of carbs here and there won't kill me ... but I did notice the halted weight loss and increased cravings following ...
All in all, a successful week, and I can't wait to get my groceries this week so I have some more variety in what I'm eating :)

Day 4
Morning! I'm down another lb ... so that's 6.8 in total in about 72 hrs.
Last night I wasn't hungry for supper because I hadn't eaten my lunch until 3pm. I got a bit hungry last night so I ate a half lb of bacon wrapped scallops at 11 o'clock. I know that's NOT diet friendly on any plan ... but it was nice to eat and not have guilt. This morning I feel full but not bloated, and not even the least bit hungry.
We're late getting on the go today, so no real plan in place other than no breakfast, walnuts if I get hungry for a snack this morning and a trip home at lunch time. Finally going to make that sheppards pie so I'll scrape the top off of it for supper.
Peace!

Day 3
Yesterday seemed really busy and I tried a couple of times go get here to post and it didn't happen!
I've decided to use Monday morning as my official weigh in time knowing that as I weigh myself throughout the week I'll have fluctuations ... not that I won't do it, lol, just that I'm not counting it as official until Monday rolls around.
So, that being said as of yesterday, I'm down 5.8 lbs. And yes, I know that's probaby mostly water ... it's still a great number to see. I feel way less bloated and have lots of energy, so all it good!

So far so good ...
I'm not hungry really at all today, but eating meals as I go. I'm nervous waiting for the carb crash but who knows, maybe it won't happen. I'm also hoping that if it does hit, it does so sooner rather than later so I can avoid the usual PMS cravings. If I get this right, I'm actually hoping to greatly reduce the symptoms so I guess we'll see!
Day two :)
Stuck to the plan yesterday ... well, the no-carb plan anyway. I ended up snacking last night but I made sure to go get sunflower seeds and cashews so I didn't have a carb binge. I'm expecting the carb crash that I've read about to hit between day 3 and 5 so I'm thinking I'm going to have to get rid of some of the major temptations still residing in my kitchen. Namely the doritos and pizza pockets.

Going with the flow :)
Ok, so the kids didn't want to wait for the sheppards pie to heat up, so I made them a quick mac and hamburger casserole and made myself a last minute lean hamburger and veggie scramble fry. I topped it off with a bit of cheese and resisted the multigrain rolls the kids were ignoring! YUM!
Today's menu
Well, since this was a slow forming, but quickly made, decision ... I really didn't have much time to put a menu together for today, let alone the week. I was tempted to use this as an excuse to delay starting, but THAT's, without a doubt, the story of my life. So ... it's almost 3pm, I've kept on track and have a loose plan for the evening. I'm also going to plan tomorrow after the kids go to bed.
Finally!
So ...
Here I am ... decidedly doing something different. Well, sorta.
I've been trying to lose weight for most of my adult life. With the exception of the time I spent pregnant (3 kids since 2003 means that does add up!) I have tried various and innumberable weight loss "plans". In the last 15 years or so I feel like I've tried most of the gimmicks with various levels of success ... in the beginning.

I choose the fight ...
"There are two choices really. You can either surrender to the pressures of life and the struggles of this particular battle.... or you continue the fight...and do so with even more vengence and determination to reach your goals then you did before.
I choose the fight.....I know what it will get me."
