Day 29
There is only 1 more day left of this program, and today was the last weigh-in for the 30 days. I have to say, I was disappointed with my results. Today I weighed exactly what I weighed last week.
When I look at that a little more objectively, I see that at least I didn’t slide backwards. And an even better perspective would be to go back to my original goal, which was to lose 2lbs per week, totaling 8lbs total weight loss. I am at 7lbs, and that is pretty close to the mark! Still one day left…
Also, I know exactly why I didn’t lose any more weight. I ate that tuna casserole and eggplant/chicken parmesan thing last week. That sort of pasta and cheesy stuff will get you every time. It was worth it, though! If they hadn’t at least tasted good, I would be REALLY disappointed. Haha.
I will get to my goal. I’m only 1lb off track, and I can get right back on track. I will get that goal.
Here’s what I ate today:
Breakfast: Oatmeal, blueberries, banana, cinnamon, coffee with 1% milk

What I did today that moved me forward: My diet was KICK BUTT! All the foods I ate had only 1 ingredient in them, which is the best you can go for. Broccoli for instance- the ingredients are obviously: broccoli. I also did not eat any ‘fillers’. There was brown rice in my face, but I just ignored it. Not that it’s bad, but it is a filler and will help you to gain weight or maintain weight.
What I did today that held me back: I had two cups of coffee and still didn’t feel fully awake. I guess the not sleeping thing is catching up with me. There’s little I can do about that right now, so I’m just going to be nice to myself and stare at my child in love and gratitude. Also, I noticed that the water in my new home is turning my hair green. I guess that’s not something I did that held me back, but it sure is annoying. So, then, I did pretty well today!
Tomorrow’s the last day!!! Measurements and time to decide how you would like to move forward.

Green hair? Sounds like your water softener needs to be adjusted with neutralizer or salt. I think Bandit is reverting to puppyhood, he’s needing outdoor breaks late at night and 3, 4, or 5 am, too. I can so relate to lack of sleep!
Oh no, poor you with Bandit’s late night excursions! I hope Claire doesn’t start with that.
Yup, green hair. I guess Ron never noticed that the water in this house turns hair green.
For some reason 🙂
