Murphy's Law All Over the Place
VLCDs 22 and 23
Weight 5.9.08 227 (a gain of .2)
Weight 5.10.08 224.8 (a loss of 2.2)
Total Loss this round: 26lbs
This post is going to be short. I had another discouraging day on Friday with the scale up yet again, but it seems to have evened out a bit. No more nibbles at Trader Joe's, no matter how hungry I am. I had such a stressful day today, nearly gave into an urge to have a milkshake. My car, which had just been repaired not 2 weeks ago, broke down on the highway as I was heading for my Saturday morning teaching job. To compound that already stressful situation, I had left my cell phone at home. Argh! One very kind passing motorist later, I had a police escort home (the backs of police cars are NOT built for comfort) and four hours later, my car was towed to the mechanic. I am sure it's a battery/alternator problem, and I am so annoyed that it cost me a morning of teaching. I managed to borrow a friend's second car to get to my restaurant job this afternoon, and I'm going to have to work extra hard for my tips to pay for whatever is wrong! Instead of the aforementioned milkshake however, I had the lesser evil, a coke zero. So glad I didn't give in, but MAN did I ever want to. I hope the scale rewards me for it tomorrow!
On a lovelier note, I heard geese for the first time this spring; looks like they are headed back north, and summer is on its way!

Can't wait to hear if you lost yesterday. Your beginning weight is closest to mine so I've decided to follow your progress. I'm still in the research and learning mode. I plan to start this month.
Milkshakes are a BIG weakness for me. I'm so encouraged that you resisted. It gives me hope I can too. Thanks for perservering.
They say that stress helps you lose weight so you should notice a drop.
Oh... and i have been in a police car (dont ask how) and i was so bit i wouldnt even fit in the back. :(
They had to order a special station wagon for me to get in.
Yes, gotta love those milkshakes! I am going to experiment with sugar-free ones in Phase 3 if it doesn't do me in too much! Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them to the best of my knowledge/experience! my yahoo ID is encomia9. Drop me a line any time.
