For almost five weeks now, I've been on the two-protein-shakes-and-one-reasonable-meal diet that my bariatric m.d. suggested. I lost five or six pounds right off the bat. But now my weight isn't budging!
Yesterday, I had the two protein drinks, 1/4 cup of fat free cottage cheese, one container of greek yogurt and a peach during the day. For supper, we had grilled chicken (I ate two legs), one small piece (4 inches) of corn on the cob, and steamed broccoli. After supper, I had a chunk of watermelon and a suger-free popsicle. (I just remembered that I also had a tablespoon of peanut butter in the afternoon.)
I've exercised for five of the past seven days. Good, hard exercise that had me sweating profusely and out of breath. Thirty to 45 minutes at a time.
So why is my scale refusing to budge? I was briefly at 221.8 a few days ago, but since then it's bounced around from 223.8 to 225. I don't understand it!
I had hoped to be at 219 (my required five percent loss) by the time I go to my last nutrition class Thursday afternoon, but it doesn't look like that will happen. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Maybe I need to go to three protein drinks per day just to get these last few pounds off.
Also, while I'm whining: I have a task to do at work that I despise, and I am procrastinating like whoa. ;)

Hi Monica ! Thanks for following my blog and now I'm following you :) I also made a list of all of the hoops and appointments so that during some tuff days, I could look back and see how far or what I'd already gone thru. Oh, and my fat loves me too - sadness !
(whoops, Blogger signed me into the wrong account!)
Hi Cece! Thanks for following me back. It's no fun blogging if no one's reading, lol. Do you think if we keep annoying our fat enough, it'll eventually leave?
