Day 5 of Week 2

Current weight 160.0



I was so dissappointed this morning to see I have not lost hardly anything on day 5. So now I need to think back to what I did that caused this. Could it just be that I am losing some more inches? I don't know. I will not take my measurements until Saturday.

I think I just didn't weigh and measure my food carefully enough. I had some salad from the other day that was loaded with 2 different types of shredded cheese. I had removed most of it, but there was some cheese that I didn't get. I didn't think it would be a big deal, maybe it was. I did weigh my chicken last night, so I know it wasn't that. But I also cooked the homemade deep fried chicken strips for the family. I know that I am a finger licker and I cooked those in vegetable oil. As I think about there were a lot of things I did yesterday that could have cause a stagnant loss. I did eat a Stoffer's sugar free turtle candy, damn it.

The reality is that I got a little cocky with the loss, especially after having a little cookie on Valentines day and having still lost weight. I figured I could do it again and that I could relax my diet some. Well the reality is that I can not do that. There is a reason for the strict diet and why you are on phase 2 for so long.

I have to remind myself not to get down in the dumps. I have not lost this much weight in such a short period time, ever before. I am 1/3 of the way to my goal weight and a 1/3 of the way through Phase 2. If I get back on track there should be no reason I can't reach that.

I will be back on track today and hopefully I can catch up on the loss.
