A Bit of a Plateau

I seem to have hit my first plateau. I also seem to be the only person worried about it. I only lost two pounds in the past week which I guess is better than gaining weight or better than none at all. I'll take it but it cost me about $70 a pound! Fresh Ontario peaches are in the grocery stores right now and I love peaches. I can have three servings of fruit a day and so I had 3 peaches last Saturday and two on Sunday. It stopped my ketosis so I was stripped of my fruits for two days. I am now back to grapefruit and apples. I may have one peach on the weekend and I am going to enjoy it! I am still very pleased. I am wearing a shirt and sweater that did not fit me a few weeks ago and this will be the last time I can wear the pants I have on as they are just too big.

Encouraging Results

I continue to get encouraging results. I have also made some other small changes which are showing up as weight loss. Of course my body is bruised from all the vitamin B shots but as no one but me and the nurses will ever see them, that is ok with me. One of the things I have done, is cut out my egg yolks. OK, I still have about a half yolk but that is about it. Just enough to flavour my egg salad. That should save me some cholesterol and some calories every day as I like eggs on melba toast for breakfast. I am also trying to eliminate the diet coke, but that may be more difficult.

Still Working

Well I am in week 5 of this very strict diet and I have lost 17 pounds. I am sticking to it and it is working, albeit a bit slower than the commercials promise. I think it is because I have so very much to lose and I am therefore allowed more food than the average person who has a smaller amount to lose. Once I get to a certain weight, they will cut me back to the "normal" portions. I am not suffering and have been able to kill my cravings by telling myself that it costs me $140.00 a week so cheating is not an option. Even if I eat a bit more veg or protein, it shows up as less of a loss than I could have had. I am in this for the long haul. I feel better than I have in a long time and finally after months of pain, my plantar faciitis is almost gone.
