That Elusive 34!
VLCD 41 and 42
Date Weight
8.18.08 210.8
8.19.08 212.0 (SO CLOSE! And yet...)
Well, I really should have learned my lesson by now not to speak so soon and so optimistically about hitting -34 lbs before the end of my round. I can't imagine what sparked the 1.2lb gain overnight. I drank a TON of water yesterday, and had a pure protein dinner (I couldn't be bothered to fix veg). I also skipped my strawberries. So, I have nothing to explain it. Maybe I'm just ready to be DONE. And I am. One sort of feels like one's been out in the wilderness while doing this diet. Gastronomically sequestered. Tomorrow is my last injection, so wherever I am, that will be the point from which I need to maintain within 2lbs. I suppose it was too much to hope to hit the 2-0-somethings, I'll have to be happy in the 2-teens until October.
One thing I'm annoyed at: my bras are too big. I really would rather be losing the weight from my hips and thighs, thank you very much! But I feel great, so I really should not complain.
Well, bedtime, And the last injection tomorrow. I can't wait for Saturday: roast chicken, avocado, and heavenly cheese await me. I drool at the mere thought!

Hi Helen,
I know you're disappointed to not be out of the two-teens yet, but you've done so great! Taking a nice long break will help your body, and you'll get to the two-ohs and eventually Onederland in no time! And look how far you've come - you've done great!
