Well, lookie there, I got a little cocky yesterday and I paid for it with a "NO LOSS" - believe me when I tell you that I had to resist the urge to measure this morning - I made a deal with myself at the beginning of this round that I would only measure once a week. And I am keeping that deal.

Ok...so here are a few things I did wrong yesterday:

1. I drank iced tea - with caffeine - and with Stevia but in any case, I never drink caffeine iced tea, hardly, maybe not never.
2. I had cut up chicken for me for the next few days and I had like this .7 ounce piece left over, and so I just threw that in with my lunch - so in actuality I had about 4.2 oz of chicken at lunch. I should know better.
3. And then, I had a LOT of salt yesterday. Yes, a LOT. Can you say water retention?
4. Water intake? FOR THE BIRDS! I drank one liter, and then the other maybe 1/2 to 3/4 liter came from that blasted tea.
   

So all things considered, I am ok with it. No worries. I had a very good run, and it was about time for my body to do what it normally does, and that is STAIR STEP!

Speaking of stair stepping, I had written on one of the blogs I visit that I would post a graph of my weight loss so far. Pretty impressive if you ask me (you can click on it to make it larger):




Now, if you look closely at that graph, you will see that I stalled 9 different times during my first round - 4 times I stalled at 3 days the same weight and 5 times I stalled at 2 days the same weight. So I am FULLY prepared for this. But the important thing to remember is that the general trend is DOWN DOWN DOWN.

So I am 1.2 pounds away from hitting that 50 pounds gone mark! And 2.2 pounds away from UNDER 200! I am going to WILL my body to do that all in one day, so that we can have ONE celebration instead of two!

So what were my meals yesterday? I had Renee's fantastic WHITE CHILI for lunch! It was MMM MMM GOOD! She mentioned that she is on a soup kick. I just find that soup is very comforting. It forces you to eat slowly and so you can feel the fullness and the goodness. I had that with celery, and then I just whipped up steak and celery stir fry for dinner. I need to try her Apple Crisp. Maybe today. Never really been an "apple pie" fan, but I am getting kinda tired of just plain ole apples.

Shout out to my MOM! HI MOM!!! I am so happy your following my progress. You, who have never struggled with your weight, you have a working HYPOTHALAMUS! You lucky dawg you! Why couldn't I have inherited THAT gene from you??? Why did I have to get that from DAD??? Oh well...I am fixing it.

And another thing...thanks to ALL you readers out there. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy days to glance at what I am doing. It's very encouraging!

Ok...enough of this...

Biz, over and out.
