Ok...the 5 day pouch test is over. Ready to move forward with the right frame of mind!
Today's weigh in: 118.8 (down a total of 3 lbs since Monday morning)
I'm really happy with that!! I have 3 pounds to go till I hit my ultimate goal. I want to lose those last 3 pounds this month. I'll let you all know how it goes!
Have a great weekend!
Well here it is....day 5 already! It's been a great week. Yesterday was good...no issues at all. I was a little disappointed getting on the scale this morning - it showed the same as yesterday morning. I was hoping for a little loss, but no biggie...I'm still really happy with the loss so far this week.
Now that I am almost done with the pouch test, I am creating my shopping list for this weekend. My head is in the game and I'm ready to roll - I WILL hit my goal weight!! I'm
Well this 5 days is on its downhill slide. I must say, it's been pretty great, and eye opening! I realize now how lax I'd become in what/when I'd eat, and how out of control I felt.

Day 3....liquids are over!! Yay!! That's what I woke up saying this morning. lol. Yesterday really went pretty well. I did fine all day, but my night-time pudding didn't satisfy me. I ended up having a small spoonful of peanut butter and that took care of it. At least I know now that I CAN do the 2 days of liquids...it'll be easier the next time I do this. So today...onto soft protein!
I know this might sound crazy, but I really do think those 2 days of liquids tightened my
Well, I survived day 1! lol. Actually, it really wasn't too bad and I know I'll make it through today just as well. Biggest take aways from the liquid phase: I get really sick of sweet stuff. The next time I do this, I need to factor in more soups and things a little less sweet. The hardest time for me yesterday was mid-evening, around 7:00. It wasn't time for my evening pudding, so I got a glass of milk instead. That satisfied the need for 'something,' and got me some extra protein to boot.
