8 months later....

It is time to refocus!

I am happy to have lost 52.6 pounds, I am happy to not have gained anything back, but I am not happy that I have become complacent. I have not lost a pound in months and I know I am not working my band properly. It is a wonder I have not gained anything back. I have let my busy, hectic life get in the way and I have lost control. I know that chips, ice cream, and those dreadful york peppermint patties go down easily and have no place in my diet. Especially when I may eat them in lieu of a healthy, balanced meal. This is something that has been nagging me for weeks and I am doing that before bed mental crap that I used to do back when I was 270+ pounds. Just as I am falling asleep I get that feeling of dread that I am still obese. I am ready to get this weight loss rolling again or in the very least start feeling like I ma working it properly and being more healthy.

I have opted to try to incorporate South Beach principles into my diet because I truly believe this is a healthy way to live. I am doing Phase 1 as of yesterday to try to detox me from all the crap I was eating. I swear that helps with the craving and I hope it helps again....

Yesterday's Meal Plan

B: 1 quiche cup

1 turkey sausage *I cooked 2 sausages and quiche cups but was full after 1.

L: low sodium V8

3 slices ham rolled with cheese

mustard

coffee with 1/2&1/2

D: romaine lettuce (about 1 cup)

3oz chicken

parmesan cheese

light caeser dressing

dessert: SF jello with cool whip

snack later 2 Polly-O string cheese

I figured out the calories to be 932 with 52grams fat and 82 grams protein.

Per fitday.

I also managed to drink more water than I have in months. I would estimate that I had 10 glasses! That was why I didn't really snack until later...no time with all that drinking and waiting after meals. I really wasn't ever hungry today though either.

Yesterday was my busy day though so we will see how I do when I have more down time.
