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.
Glad to read everything ended with you feeling better about stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks. 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.
