Hi all...
Just a quick update... this morning showed a loss of 1.4- that is good, but still doesn't take off all the gain from yesterday (still have .2 left)... But that's OK, it's substantially gone. So I will just move forward from here. As of right now total loss is 13. Only 2 lbs to 15, which is only 5 pounds from 20! OK, I know, I am getting ahead of myself.
I am going to consider yesterday and today a "plateau", and if it continues for a couple more days, I will do an "apple day". On the apple day, you are allowed to eat up to 6 apples and that is all the food for the day. I know it probably doesn't sound that great to all of you, but I am even considering doing it today because I really don't feel like eating meat and veggies. I am feeling kind of burned out by my choices. I haven't decided for sure yet though because I don't know if I have truly "plateaued". I'll decide by lunchtime, and if I choose to go that route I will have to go buy some apples, because I'm at work and today I brought an orange!
I have read that stalling in the 3rd week is quite normal, and Saturday began my 3rd week of shots (today starts the 3rd week of VLCD). The apple day is described by Dr. Simeon as a psychological fix to a normal physiological plateau. A lot of water is released the day following an apple day and there is usually a 1-2 lb loss the next day. He also says that the days following the apple day typically show a break from the plateau in more losses.
Don't worry people. As you probably know, you will get a full report on apple day if I decide to do it. Just one more look into my fairly boring personal details! :)
Thanks to all those who read my blog. I think I know who most of you are and I appreciate your support!
More later...
