I broke free of the 150s!!!!

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. My size 8 jeans are a little loose on me. I am celebrating tonight by going out to Shadowbox Live (sketch comedy and rock n roll). And, since I weighed in at 148.4 this morning, I don’t even want those nachos anymore. Okay, so I do want them a little. But as of this coming Monday I only have two more weeks of drops left. Yes there are three more low calorie days after I finish the drops, but that means I will be officially done with this super restrictive diet on Wednesday, 2.5 weeks from now. I know I can do this.

Honestly I am shocked by how easy it really is. Especially when I have the support of my family. My husband doesn’t know about the drops, but he knows I am dieting hardcore. He has been great about buying me the healthy foods I ask for and not buying me the sugars and starches I ask for- jokingly of course. He is not the kind of guy to bring up weight, and he says he is happy with me no matter what I weigh. That kind of stuff is just not important to him. I have thanked him for how he has handled me in my crankier days.

I am still feeling a little faint at times, particularly when I jump up from a seated position and go on a mission. I still think it has to do with that time of the month for me (yes i am still on it- it lasts at least two weeks, sometimes more for me) I just think I am still losing too much iron that is not being made up for by anything else. I generally do get very tired, very easily. Right now I am not tired, I just have to stand up slow… right? Yesterday, I had the whole afternoon to myself to lie around and read a book. I could have easily taken a nap but I wasn’t tired enough to fall asleep. I still think my energy stores are doing quite well.

I have a new favorite food: asparagus. I love it grilled on myGeorge Foreman grill with salt and cajun seasoning (which has been carefully reveiwed and is clear of any sugar). It was crunchy and delicious. I also found a soda made with stevia. it is wonderful in the evening when everyone else is snacking on chips and stuff that I can still have something a little sweet. I am probably drinking too much coffee, but I have always loved coffee and so I am okay with that. Because I tend to go for warmer drinks, I am not sure I am getting enough water, though I am putting forth an effort to refill my water cup everytime I get coffee and rotate the drinks.

I am very excited at the prospect of breaking free of the 140s within two weeks. I know if I stick with the protocol it will be no problem. I’ll keeo you posted.
