Note to self - Find another diet!!! Let me just give you my total loss in 2 weeks - 8 pounds! Not bad you say but my total loss for this past week - 1 pound - yep, 1 pound. I realize I'm going to have good and bad weeks but I followed this diet to the T every day (except for the peanut butter and alcohol incident). The 2 T of peanut butter and 1 vodka tonic & half glass of wine she assures me was the cause of the slow down in my weight loss. You have got to be kidding me. I eat lettuce til it's coming out my ears, more vegetables in the last 2 weeks of my life then I have in my whole 50 years of being alive, and chicken sales have gone up at our local grocery store. And above all that - I'm not eating ANY sugar. That alone should be taking the pounds off faster then 1 pound a week. As I mentioned before - patience is not my virtue!!! OK, I'm done complaining.
Weirdest part of this diet is they tell you not to exercise which at first sounded fantastic - lose all this weight and you don't have to get your fat ass off the couch - doesn't get much better then that!! Now I'm thinking it slows down your weightloss so you have to stay on this diet (buying your packaged meals) longer then you would have to if you threw in a sit up here and there. Well I think it's time to go out on a limb and drag this load of a body onto the elliptical this week and see what the scales say next week. I'm heading to Vegas and I can tell you right now - I plan on skipping the peanut butter but there will be more then a drink and a half written down in my journal. In Vegas style let's take a bet and see if exercise and drinking will bring more then 1 pound off that number on the scale next week. I'm going to go with - IT BETTER!!!
Off to the elliptical I go!
I hear ya, Becky! Now you know why I just cannot do any diets like that, EVER AGAIN! I've been eating Thin Mints and losing weight, but I exercise 30 minutes every day. And, I had a martini with my dinner at Butcher & Singer. The old me would have had 3 drinks and a whole box of Thin Mints in one day. Once you figure out how to do it and what works best for you, everything clicks in place. I've been waiting for years for this to happen.
