After my trip to Napa I ended up going off track for a little while. 

I am back on track as of yesterday though.  My weight was up to 165 last weekend.  Not sure what my weight is right now.  I will weigh again on Sunday morning.

Thanks Sharon!

Today’s weight = 161. Houston, we have movement! Down 1.5lbs today

150’s…watch out, I’m coming to get you! 

Heading out to grab some of my favorite coffee this morning from a local roasting house, as to avoid that sugar free syrup I have been using. In last nights chat, Dr Lewis and I thought it might be a good i…[Read more]

Happy vacation! You are doing great. What more can you ask for from a perfect vacation, than to come home without the regret of extra pounds?! You got this.

Hope you are having some easy and smooth sailing 5 bite days!

Nicely done! What a great feeling at the end of the day, isn’t it?

A winning (but losing) streak!

I had to visit my “real” office today. Wasn’t sure how that was going to go, since it has been a month since I was in last. Usually people want to eat lunch, or go out for drinks after work. I had my plan though!

Made a to-go carafe of my decaf coffee this morning. When my coworker wanted to go out for lunch, I offered to catch up with them,…[Read more]

I weighed in this morning, for a weekly loss of 2lbs.     This was the same I weighed on Thurday morning (I stayed off the scale since then).

So one of 2 things probably happened (or both).  1. I ate more than I thought on Thursday, 4th of July, and the last 3 days were recovering from any weight gain.  (and/or) 2. My “perfect” days on Frid…[Read more]

Hi Sharon. What a rough week. So sorry for all that stress. Sounds like you are doing fairly well considering. I love the yellow sweater on you, beautiful!  I just finished my epsom salt bath too. Need to find the lavender scented one though, it sounds amazing.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Great job! Race to the finish. And what an amazing feeling about the side-by-side.</p>

How are you doing today Shelly? Don’t give up. Every meal is a chance to reset.

Thank! Digestion is feeling great. Perfect day, same meals as yesterday!

Both nervous and excited to get on that scale in the morning. I feel lighter and slimmer, but that doesn’t always show on the scale the way I hope. I am sure I will be restless tonight thinking about it. Will try some meditation, aroma therapy and positive affirmations t…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a perfect day, but I decided to stop the bars. I guess this post is now my napa countdown rather than a bar challenge  😂 I just had too much indigestion and heartburn from them  so I am giving myself a little relief

Yesterday, Lunch was 1 hard boiled egg, and 2 bites of an amazing basil/garlic g…[Read more]

Yesterday was a perfect 5 bite day!  Woke up with my hunger scale at zero!  Drinking some water now, brewing my coffee, with my vitamins laid out for me.  It is my birthday today but I told family and friends my celebration was just on July 4th.  So today should be pretty mellow and easy to control temptation, just like any other normal day…[Read more]

Well, my intentions and plan were set.  However, my mind was not ready to prepare a large dinner for guests and stick to the original plan.  Handling and cooking all that food was too much.  I didn’t eat while cooking though and held out most of the day.  No alcohol at all – only unsweetened iced tea and iced black coffee with zero calorie swe…[Read more]

Don’t give up, you got this!  Go in with your plan ahead of time, and just stick to it.  Just like you did on your 1st week, remember?  Can’t be more difficult than that birthday party you had to go to.

Happy 4th of July!  No movement on the scale today.  Current weight remains at 162.  I may re-weigh after I have a chance to use the bathroom, assuming I don’t ingest any liquids before then. I usually see a significant drop after.

Regardless, I knew I had the perfect day yesterday.  And I will have the same today, guaranteed!  My plan…[Read more]

Thanks Danica! I think the next 5 days will go perfectly too.

Dinner!!! I made it til 6pm tonight. Eating lunch at 1 definitely helps. I ate my Luna bar, and drank coffee, while playing the Disney Cars racing video game with my little guy.

I am going to try something crazy tomorrow. I am going to go for bars only. Despite hosting a 4th of July birthday party! We are having a taco bar and bday…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis uses Zoom for his chats.  It can be accessed online (after downloading an update to your computer from the Zoom site). Which is super easy to use.

But Zoom also makes an iPhone app that works fairly well.  You download that from the apple app store, then set up your account.  When it is time for the call, you just open the app on yo…[Read more]
