I’m back! I have had repeated weekends away and they have caught up with me. Not only has it caused a creeping up of weight but it has distracted me from my plan.

I know that it should take me 3-5 days to get back to where I was a week ago. I also have my period so I am particularly bloated.

I didn’t want to post because I thought that by losing…[Read more]

Day 4

165.5, 7.5 lbs down

Lunch: 5 bites vegan pizza

Dinner: 5 bites massaman curry

Killing it! Even trained quite a lot today. Making it boring and pushing through. 

Day 3 Sat

167 this morning, 6lbs down

Lunch and Dinner: 5 bites vegan pizza

I’m feeling good this weekend. Been training way more than usual, still feeling good. Easiest day 3 yet! Good luck this weekend y’all.

Yes for the most part I haven’t experienced the super terrible hypoglycemic moments I had the first time I went through. Knowing that I have done this before helps me relax about the process a little bit better. I know I can do it, it’s just a waiting game now.

Dr. Lewis, did you have a bout with recidivism?

Thanks doc, you’re totally right. It’s just interesting to think about the math on it. It really concretizes what is happening moment to moment as I breathe out knowing weight is being lost.

Day 2

Lunch: 5 bites of vegan italian sausage

Dinner: 5 bites of spaghetti and not-meatballs

Today has been incredibly easy and I even trained parkour for…[Read more]

169 this morning. Back in the 160s. I checked my weight loss over night to see how much I am breathing out and it looks like I am only losing about half a lb over the course of 8 hours. So that’s 1.5 lbs per day which is 10.5 lbs per week. That’s 42 lbs in 4 weeks. If I am eating 4 oz of food per day that’s 28 oz per week and 112 oz per month…[Read more]

Good morning Peeps! Slept in — 8am after many early wake-ups. Added bonus to have shed that water weight. My plan continues with the focus being TRUST in myself and the process.

Day 1 (again)

I was at 172 this morning.

I think not eating in the morning helps quite a lot with hunger issues. I did not feel very hungry today at all. Was even considering skipping dinner but thought better of it. I had plain coffee for breakfast and even though I have not been a coffee drinker for most of my life, I am starting to enjoy the…[Read more]

Thank you Gayle! Yes that hit me hard when Laura said she was inspired by reading my journal whilst I was in the midst of being off the diet entirely. I think I am certainly motivated to not let other people down no matter how small the commitment. Anyways I got through last night pretty easily with some miso soup and a diet soda. When I remind…[Read more]

Well I managed to avoid all candy in the office, stores and at home. BUT – I had too many bites. I was celebrating with my son and his girlfriend on his FIRST JOB!! It was beyond exciting. I managed to avoid eating out at a restaurant and brought food home. I avoided all their goodies (including ice cream, and superbly decadent and addictive…[Read more]

Day 1/7

EEk! Too many bites last night. Not enough to gain “real” weight, but salt and volume showed up. Lesson learned. Excited for this challenge to encourage me to stay on track.

I just went on my phone and entered slimming station – clicked on this post and pressed the picture icon (last icon above or the one furthest from right) – it has a…[Read more]

We all fall but we get right back up!! You are doing so well. Cheering you on!!! You are such an inspirational person for others. Tap into that today. You have all you need for CONTINUED success!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. I fell off the rails after 4 days this time.  I gave in to candy at work and I went straight back to some of my recent patterns. I’m trying not to beat myself up. It took a lot just to drag myself back over to the forums here to admit my failures. I was just going to disappear and try something else but…[Read more]

Yay! Let’s do a post for scale piks for everyone

Today is Halloween! Three years ago when I FINALLY committed to getting to finish line, I started two weeks before Halloween, I challenged myself to a “candy-free” halloween. This will be my third candy-free Halloween. Love to be a rebel and to go against convention. Part of me decided to do this bcs I used to eat the candy like it was somehow a s…[Read more]
