Total Loss: -33

Water: 2 ltrs

First day with no loss!! I can't say I'm shocked. When I go outside my routine, my body doesn't like it. I had a great weekend getting out of town and thought I was all prepared etc... then of course life happens.... my friends changed our place of eating for lunch and by the time I got there I realized the restaurant was a grilled cheese and burger joint... they were already half way done their meal so I made an excuse to just order tea and visit. I'm trying not to get too detailed with people about my current eating plan... first of all its too complicated to explain, and second, a lot of people get strong opinions when they don't know all the details.. By the time I was eating my little steak and asparagus at another restaurant alone it was WAY past my normal lunch hour and I was feeling quite light headed..... then cause I allowed myself to feel so hungry I didn 't leave as much of the 5 oz steak behind as I should have.

When I got home I only had 1/2 tomatoe so I tried to improvise with a few dabs of v8 juice in my soup.. (probably not a good idea)

Late in the afternoon I realized I hadn't been drinking any water so I only got 2 liters in.

Who knows what the reason is for my zero loss, probably a combination of the above. Not to fret, I'm totally back on board doing everything right today.... I'm fighting a cold.... wonder if that had anything to do with it????

It would be so much easier just to put myself in a little cocoon for 6 weeks so I could follow this protocol, but I'm a firm believer in the fact that we can't wait for 'I'll be happy when I'm skinny'... motto.. I have to learn from the process as I go along.. I'm learning!! I love this passage below, it reminds me to live in the moment and not fool myself into thinking the world will be perfect when I lose weight....

I'll be happy when... We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.


So, stop waiting ...
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 100 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer..
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die. There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching.
