Down 1/2 pound of the whole pound I gained yesterday. YEA! Back to protocol always works for me. I was a cooking fiend yesterday getting ready for the week: cut up cucumbers, celery, and watermelon (phase 3) for distribution for the week and cooked basa fish, asparagus, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower combined with a wee bit of real butter (phase 3) and some mushrooms with a wee bit of evoo (phase 3). Got all my food ready for the week and weekend. I remember the quote, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." That is so me. :)
Praying God's health and strength for all of us. I am not stabilizing as quickly as last time, but it takes up to three weeks. Just beginning week 2 of phase 3. It will happen when my body finds its "new normal." Still loving the plan and LOVING the NEW REALIZATION that meals are for fueling - not simply pleasure. I now find pleasure in health, energy, clothes that fit, going to the pool in a bathing suit if I like, taking less and less daily medication for fat-related illnesses, freedom from a life-long cage of obesity..........my meals are not "oh I can't wait..." now they are "have I gotten my fruits and veggies into this tank to provide FUEL for me to live?" BIG difference. I could eat the same thing daily and be ok now as food serves a different purpose than it has for 54 years of my life. Thank you GOD that my stomach is no longer my god. (Philippians 3:19)
Bye for now - PK
PS - how much has everyone lost now? Please send current totals. I am at 55 down from Jan 24, 2011. LOTS OF LOVE!
