Plateaus

It's been a few days so a quick update on The Plan (www.neighborhoodholistic.com) and my experience after 14 days ...

The good news is, I've definitely lost about 5 pounds. The not as great news is that it's the same 5 pounds I lost during week 1. Per Lyn-Genet, it's not uncommon to plateau during week 2 but it sure makes it a helluva lot harder to stay on the plan. That said, having to report in daily with weight and questions makes it hard to cheat; I feel very accountable. This coming week I start my own menu planning. Crossing fingers that a few more lbs. will drop off.

Otherwise, it's been a week of bouncing back from a whole lot of upset & drama. I think I've hit my annual limit for taking s***. I'd like to say that I managed my emotions with grace, but that would be a whopper of a lie. I blew my stack, cried, sulked and even did a little stomping. A GNO (girls' night out) last night helped blow off the residual ickyness.  And today I sent chocolate chip cookies to my big boy at college; that made me feel better somehow.

More to come .... stay happy.

  2. Thanks. Still working hard to think of The Plan as a way-of-life eating and not a diet, but I'm getting there. Lyn-Genet has been tremendously helpful.
