Day 6

Well, I'm not extremely happy with the progress I've made in just the past day. This morning my weight was only at 238.8, meaning that I had only lost 8 ounces, which honestly could have been just clothing. What happened?

I did have a diet soda yesterday, and I know that diet soda's are a death sentence for weightloss on a plan like this, but I am doing really well with food. Last night I went to the store and bought boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and coated them with bbq sauce. Most of the sauce cooked away, so there were very little carbs, but it did give it a nice flavor.

I drank water for the rest of the day, into the night - and only had minimal carbs throughout the day. My exercise level is low, maybe I should boost that a bit?

I'm sticking to my plan, though. Not giving up. I can do this - I can make it work. I took photos of myself last night to compare to the others I took 11 pounds ago, and I do look a bit thinner. Nothing remarkable, but there is a noticable change, especially in the backside photo which was the one that made me feel so bad about myself. My clothes are fitting nicely, and I think that pretty soon, I'll be wearing those pants I've been wishing I could "still" wear for the past 4 years!

Saturday night, our friends nephew is having a Halloween Party, and I've already been told that I better make that my cheat night. I don't know what they'll be serving, but I am sure that there will be alcohol, and that's probably what they're referring to. I think I might stick with rum and diet coke, no carbs, though my body will burn that first, and if they have pizza and wings (most probably) then I'll not eat the crust of the pizza, only the cheese and meat topping, and stay away from too many of those chicken wings!

I can do this, and still be "fun", right?
