I missed weighing in yesterday, but today is 209.5, down 1.75 lb from 9/18's 211.25.
That's better. That's what an egg-grapefruit day is supposed to do. This egg-grapefruit day just took a couple of days to kick in.
I've found the most wonderful thing to do with chicken and salad. Stir-fried chicken with apples and greens! Yum!
Gotta go to the gym today. My personal trainer is out for the week this week, but that should not give me a reason to avoid the gym. He even provided a workout!

Weighing In 9/5/2018
212.0, down from yesterday's 212.75.
The water weight is clearly almost all off and the weight loss will slow down to a crawl as I lose fat rather than water.
Yesterday was a scheduling disaster. Breakfast and lunch were fine, and water intake was fine. But I ended up working in my office until 9:15, which put me home at 9:45, which gave me dinner at 10 pm. I can't do that again; I ended up being hungry by 8 pm. I need to get food for the office that I can eat for dinner in such times. Some canned shrimp will be good, and I can get veggies as I need them from the Price Chopper or Walmart that are nearby.
Dinner last night was delicious, though. Chicken and summer squash from the garden, stir fried with apple chunks and rosemary leaves. I did not eat a salad last night; had one of those for lunch. A bran muffin was dessert. So NICE to eat food I grew myself!!
Gotta get a shower before I start eating and drinking today.

Weighing In 9/4/2018
212.75, down from yesterday's 214.75.
I'm back to the weight I was when last I blogged this weight loss. Told ya it wouldn't take me long!
Today is Day 2 of the Reducing Diet. I am not hungry and I certainly am not thirsty. I will take my lunch and snacks to work with me today; lunch will be salmon and salad; snacks will be 2 apples and 2 oranges. Dinner tonight will be chicken and summer squash from the garden. I had a jalapeño pepper with that squash last night, also from the garden; those peppers are HOT.
I have water at the office and will drink that. All. Day. Long.

Weighing In 5/21/2017
Yes, I missed yesterday. My niece graduated from college (summa cum laude, if you please) in the morning and I got into a rush. Rushing does not work well for blogging.
So, to catch up, yesterday I weighed 229.5, up 0.25 lb from Friday's 229.25. Today I weigh 229.5, no change from yesterday.
I LOATHE plateaus. In fact, I think it's time for another egg-grapefruit day tomorrow if this plateau doesn't break on its own. But then, I'm maintaining in the face of eating more than I probably should. I had a friend for dinner on Friday; we had split chicken cooked on the grill and veggies that refused to cook on the grill, and we had a Diet Center® tofu delight for dessert, something I haven't had in eons so I'm calling it a new dish. Yesterday, I ate two apples for breakfast (rushing to the graduation, remember), a salmon filet and salad, the rest of the uncooked veggies, the rest of the tofu delight, a cold grilled bird, and two heaping, and I do mean HEAPING, spoonfuls of peanut butter. That's too much. Today I shall eat less, though I'm still working on the cold bird (I have two left).

Weighing In 5/9/2017
232.25, same as the last few days.
I've gone off the straight and narrow for the last few days, and it's showing. I need to shock myself into going back on the straight and narrow. One egg/grapefruit day, coming up! I hate them, but they work so very very well. Eight eggs, eight grapefruit halves, eight glasses of water, that's it. Expect the dropping of weight in the next couple of days after that shock to the system.
Then I will indeed be back on the straight and narrow. I ate things like salad dressing and a dish of oatmeal with cream yesterday; I've been off since my gentleman caller left, and it's time to fix that. This is why the weight is being recalcitrant. Back to chicken'n'fish, chicken'n'fish. Though I did have a delicious dish for dinner a couple of nights ago: chicken "tacos" in which the "taco" shells were romaine leaves! That was my daughter's brilliant idea.

Weighing In 4/7/2017
241.5 down from yesterday's 241.75.
Slow and steady wins the race...
Yesterday I spent the whole day with a client, so eating and drinking were both very off-schedule; on nutrient target but off schedule. I didn't get my full 8 glasses of water yesterday, but I'll be back on the straight and narrow on that today.
I had the best dinner last night; I'll have to do this one again. I diced half of an apple, added cinnamon and wrapped it in a pounded-out chicken thigh. I baked it for 45 mins at 325 in an aluminum foil wrap (to hold the wrapping in place since I couldn't find my toothpicks). I had asparagus to accompany. Absolutely delicious!
