Hi Alto, and thanks for checking up on me. Yes, 6 lbs are gone, how do you remember the numbers? I sure can't remember other people's numbers!
No whoosh, just the 6 lbs I lost during the 4 weeks of the V2 project and just updating the stats now.
I'm quite pleased, it is now an even 50 lbs gone! Woooo Hoooo! I really wanted to hit the 50 lb mark before Christmas and I've done it. My family and friends are amazed by my progress. One good friend says, quote: 'Nothing else ever worked for you, but this {LC) is!'
They are supportive and never say anything negative. Lucky me!
Alto, you are definitely not alone in the wonky day/schedule thing. Sleeping in and not having my usual omelet for breakfast is the beginning of a lazy food day. That's exactly what it is with me: laziness. Everything I eat is LC legal, it is just the amounts that are way skewed.... and then to add insult to injury, I usually don't bother to eat any veg.
I've been LCing for almost 9 months now and feel I can do this without too much advance planning, but the amount of planning and effort required to do the V2 group project surprised me. The fact that I was pushing myself to increase my work hours to full-time during this project was a definite factor in my brief appearances on the board.
Alto, I've been reading your journal nearly every day, just no energy to post and tell you how well I think you are doing. Congrats on increasing your water intake and at least planning to increase the veg. Buying the veggies is the first step. When you have had enough of eating tired veggies or throwing them out, you'll get better at the execution of the plan: actually cooking & eating 'em. If you ever try a lean protein only day, you'll find yourself yearning to have vegetables! You won't have to force yourself, can you imagine? LOL
Do you know, I was planning on making one of those tasty but nasty-to-the-weight-loss-effort choc mousse things tomorrow. Your comment has made me re-think that. Maybe I should just get on with some Christmas LC baking for me and my diabetic dad.
I've got lots of recipes that use cream cheese in other ways
G'nite,
