Woo-hoo I made it to Monday.  I made it to Monday and the scale said 219.6.  That’s 2TEEN!  I made the teens.  I am about 13 pounds higher than my lowest South Beach Diet weight ever.  I did south beach diet (which btw is a GREAT plan) from May 2006 through August 2008…  I got very very very frustrated when I could NOT get below 200 pounds.  I was close… so close…   actually hung around 21 0 but saw 206 a couple of times.. but PLEASE… 2 years to lose 80 pounds.

I’m down now 33 pounds in 11 weeks.  so I’m losing about 3 pounds a week… (average)… Now I’m sure TOMORROW I will show a gain up past 220 but that’s ok.. that’s my pattern.

Today is meet Tammie the Trainer at the gym.   glad to know my back is just an ‘irritated disc’ so I’m on steroids again.  I guess I have to admit that NOT being able to take NSAIDS is a bit annoying but there are other things we can do…. steroids in low doses occasionally aren’t going to kill me….

My food is good.  tasty… small amounts.  it’s always my fluids and my calcium that are killing me.  I never get enough fluids.   I do get enough protein but only if I drink some every day…  and If ind that the more protein I get the more I lose so I’m working it….
