Start: 176.0
Day 1 - 176.0. Well, another late night/early morning talking with my brother. I feel tired a bit puffy...I shall be taking a nap here shortly, have two meetings today, I need more sleep. May I say: family rivalry is ridiculous. I have felt this way all my life. Mom always had love for each of us...no need to be jealous. I have a sister and a brother (2 out of many) that are my go-to people. My sister? Basically, if I'm going to tell anything to anyone, it's to her. My brother is a safe place also. In NO way is that disrespectful or meant to be hurtful to anyone. My nose isn't out of joint that I'm not my youngest two sisters 'go-to' person. I know I'm one of them, that's fine. And for crying out loud...we can only make one phone call at a time. So...when my brother is going through hell...should he need to talk to someone else besides me...I'm not judging...I'm not guilt-tripping him...I'm giving him the freedom to do what HE needs to do. And I know, this isn't necessarily stuff about weight loss, but it is kinda...because I'm not stuffing my feelings by eating...and I'm not blogging this on my 'regular' blog because then my brother will get more crap. So. There you have it. My vent. Jealousy, in all shapes and sizes, no matter the disguise, isn't good for anyone. Run away from that feeling. Period. No arguments. No good comes from jealousy. Let. It. Go. *sigh* As if that'll fix the issue... On to my plan of attack for today. I'm happy with the scale's number this morning. I do not think that each week will be a 4-pound weight loss...but I'll take it for my first week back. I wish that number would go down by 4 each week, but...reality is...I'd be at my weight goal by now, and I looked at the numbers on my ticker (at the bottom of the page) and had a mini-pity-party...I'll finish with that in a moment... Motivation to do good today. So I will eat my proteins and fat-free cottage cheese...I already had my oat bran...I will do my mile walk and some T-Tapps. I will drink my water. I will not have a cookie...no, I'm not craving them...but cookies will always be my downfall. That and good homemade cake. I just sat here for a moment...figuring out if I was craving those things...I'm good. I thought the number wouldn't move much...due to the massive amount of spinach and mushrooms I had for dinner last night. This morning, as a particular body function escaped me as I was ironing...I laughed...because I had the thought: eat a buttload of spinach, your butt will make sounds back... TMI? Oh, get over it. Farting is something that doesn't really happen much on this diet, so all the spinach must be what's made me a bit noisy...
Day 2 - 174.6. Good news! My hair isn't falling out like it was! And my nails...oh, they were beyond sad there for awhile...they're back to strong, I think. For quite some time there, if an air current passed by, my nails would break. Okay, not really, but I've been doing so good at not ripping my nails. Wearing dark gray, blue, purple, red nail polish...having fun, freaking out my girls because they're not used to seeing color on my hands. And then, I guess they grew to the crappy part. Which makes sense. My hair was falling out SO MUCH. I was quite concerned. Then, added biotin...and it took some time, but it has slowed down to almost nothing. And I'm watching my nails and they're now back to normal. I think I love biotin. If you're not taking it, and you're on this diet, GO GET SOME! Take it. Take it now. Your hair, nails, and supposedly skin will thank you.
Day 3 - 174.6. Well...that number didn't go down, but it didn't go up. Having the number stay the same is good motivation to get some sweating exercise in today. Which is what I need...because I really do not care for exercising. In an effort to be positive, because I need to look for good things, too much pain out there, more good news! I think those headaches were sugar related...they haven't been around for a few days..*knock on wood*...
Day 4 - 175.4. Is it the heavy salt? When I'm used to hardly any salt? Dunno.
Day 5 - 174.4. Okay...maybe it's 'game on'...maybe yesterday was a fluke? Or just a normal weight movement? I'll make sure I get my walk in today...I'll do two miles...
Day 6 - 174.0. That's a surprise. See, last night, just before ordering my husband's cheesy bread and hot wings, he kind of barked at me for no reason. Okay. No 'kind of'...he did. Very unusual. Which then led to an evening of jokes at his expense. Anyway. Had a moment of weakness/stupidity. I ordered myself parmesan bites. They were good. Made sure I did my hoe-downs..still expected to gain poundage. Perhaps there is hope for weighing a normal weight. Seeing as how if you eat normally, you don't gain weight! What a concept.
Day 7 - 174.8. Well, I'll not freak. I feel hormonal and puffy. Amazing how losing 30 pounds can make you notice when you're retaining water...guess I was puffy and bloated more back then. I'll ride this out. Behave today and hope for a total loss for the week tomorrow morning...
Official weigh in from the end of my twenty-fourth week in the Cruise Phase: 174.4
.
Week twenty-four weight loss: 1.6
Total weight loss: 30.6

Try eating lots of green beans too... then you'll notice a lot of bottom activity :-) Well done on a good loss this week. Your weight sure does move up and down a lot during one week.
