Weighed in on Thursday 23rd - it had been 2 weeks since my last official check in.
Total loss (for this 2 week period) - only 2.6 lbs.
Total loss to date: 57.4 lbs.
I was expecting this low number because I had a weekend with some beer in it. (6 light beer!). That slowed my loss down for sure. I also had a short cold, didn't last long, and I didn't really feel that bad -- but I still craved some comfort food (as I think we all do when we are sick). I ended up making a broccoli/cauli soup. It made me feel better, without me going too far off plan. I used home made stock, so it couldn't have been that bad.
I am getting closer and closer to my goal. I can SEE the light at the end of the tunnel!
Going to the gym after work today, going to meet my husband there. I would never have imagined that we would be going to the gym as a couple, for years our main couple activity has been watching TV! It is GREAT! I am really looking forward to it.
I continue to be impressed with how dedicated hubby is being to the plan. He sticks to it like GLUE!
until next time...

Week 20 Ideal Protein Diet
What a great week! It was measurement week, we have been doing our measurements every 4 weeks.
Weight loss - this week 4 (** oh yeah ** count 'em - 4!) lbs!
Total loss to date - 54.8 lbs!
I am starting to focus on the finish line - I believe I am aiming for approx. another 15 - 20 lbs more. At this rate, I will be on maintenance before I know it.
INCHES -- my loss this weeek -- 10.25" - Are you kidding me?! That reminds me -- I am wearing my SKINNY-EST Jeans! I decided to try them on during the week, because my "normal skinny" jeans seemed like they were Big...and they FIT! They were the one thing in my closet that I was not quite into when I did my closet "shopping" a few weeks back. I was/am thrilled thrilled thrilled!
I have heard that inches off will equal weight loss, and I didn't believe it back when my weight loss was at a rate of 2:1 to my inches lost. But, as you can see - they are starting to even out.
TOTAL 54.8 lbs lost vs. 49 3/4" lost
My hubby lost another 10" this week as well -- his total inches is 64"!!
He is still in the higher lbs lost than inches lost phase though, because I am SURE he has lost around 100 lbs! He is feeling GREAT, looking GREAT.. Going to the GYM every second day, he never misses! He rides the stationary bike and goes on the treadmill. I am SOOOO impressed! I have never seen him so motivated. When he notices how loose his clothes are getting, I think it just re-focuses him. And it seems like every day he gets smaller.
I said to him the other day "I forget, when I am away from him all day at work how much smaller he is now - and every day I am just a bit surprised when I see him!".
Going out to a special banquet on Saturday....The good news is that I have MANY choices for clothes to wear, and so does hubby! - The challenge will be avoiding all the "not to be consumed while in phase 1 foods..." Wish us luck. We will be surrounded by friends who have been nothing but supportive through this, so that should help.
TA TA for now (until next week).

Weeks 19 Ideal Protein Diet
I did not go in for an "official" weigh in this week...
BUT I weighed at home, and according to that scale I am down another 2.6lbs!
Total loss to date: 50.8 lbs
My "skinny" jeans are actually getting a little big on me.
AND - if I was playing "true confessions" - I would admit to being 'off plan' last weekend...
Spent Friday night at my brothers. He had said that we would go out for dinner, so I planned to be good and order a steak and salad or something equally on plan....BUT - when I arrived at his house, it turned out that he had been great enough to make dinner. Nice of him - even though there was not a single thing I could eat and stay on plan. So, I did what any good sister would do - I said "Thank-you" and then I ate small portions of each thing. I also drank some of that Sublime beer...
AND THEN
on Saturday - I met my friends for brunch, which was at a restaurant that served fruit and crepes with everything -- so I didn't make a fuss, and just ordered and ate. Saturday night we went out for a really nice (fancy) dinner, and there were definately parts of my meal that I should not have eaten - PLUS, I had a few drinks there. We went bowling after that
It was lots of fun! Celebrating my friend's birthday and enjoying each others company.
Sunday - I tried to be good -- came home early -- got the munchies and ended up having 2 extra protein packs that day (guess I was coming down from a carb high or something?).
Weighed on Monday morning - and I was UP 4 lbs! from Friday morning. To be expected though. So, I buckled down and was a little angel for the rest of the week - even getting in some 1 hour walks with the dog in the evenings. So - end result of being down 2.6 lbs - I am SERIOUSLY okay with the outcome, considering how the week went..
Until next time.
