Didn't do as bad as I thought over my long weekend in Nashville. I DID cheat. I ate potatoes (very bad), I drank a couple tequila sunrises (very, very bad) and the last day, I had a piece of chocolate cake (I should be shot!). But when I got up Monday morning and stepped on the scale, my total gain was 1.5 pounds!!!
So yesterday (Monday) I stuck to the diet and so far today I have stuck to the diet. My weight today was the same as yesterday (which in almost the same as a pound gained in my book) but I expect that tomorrow will show a loss.
Anyway you look at it I've still lost 13 pounds and about 13 inches overall. I'm halfway through this first phase which lasts 42 days. In reality, I should be down 21 pounds or so by now, but previous 'cheats' and my trip have put the kabosh on that. So, I have 21 days to go on this phase and my plan is to lose the 20-21 pounds I should lose. That would be a total of 33-34 pounds which would be a total victory to anyone on a diet.
So as of today, I weigh 176 pounds (down from 189) and my total inches lost is 13.75. My pants are loser, I have to use the second set of hooks on my bra and my watch moves on my wrist.
Do I miss soda? Oh yeah. Do I miss ice cream? Definately. Can I do without them? YES.
Onto the second half of my journey with success in my sights!
No, not the psycho from the movie, just a nurse that's been doing this too long! This is just a sideways look at the Nursing Profession, Medical Issues, and Patient Rights and Responsibilities. Also the more than occasional opinion on current events, politics, random events, odd bits and pieces.
