It has been a long week!  In the dietary world, I have gone and come back in a full cycle with my weight this week.  Usually, it takes a while for my weight to be impacted, and it really has not done much since early spring.  Yet this week proved wrong everything I thought I understood about my body mass and metabolism system.

At the beginning of it all, I was still working on a come-back from “Vacation diet blunder”.  I had gained three pounds (up from 144)  from a vacation which did not mirror my desire for dietary and body mass health.  I had lost one of those pounds already…a good start.  Then last Monday for no apparent reason I gained two pounds (148)…I couldn’t  believe it!  So I ate what I considered sensible and exercised and weighed myself Wednesday all to receive another complete shock of 149.  I have not weighed 149 for a long time (since before spring break). 

It was completely frustrating!  I thought to myself…I have to do something fast or I am going to say goodbye to my goals and the 140’s.  Afterall I went from being 10 pounds from my goal to 15 all in a half week. 

So, the next day (Thursday) I ate as usual, except I just skipped dinner.  I figured, it would not kill me and I am a well-nourished person.  Friday, I ate a delightful fruit salad after my morning run, then enjoyed an early dinner of veggie fajitas at my favorite local Mexican Dining.  Delish! Saturday I was already back down to 145 and today I sealed the goodbye letter to “vacation diet blunder” and am finally at my 144 weight that I was Pre-vacation.   

What a whirlwind of weights this week!  I did not think my body was capable of such quick changes, but I have to tell you I am seriously renewed in my inspiration.  To be able to say again that I only have ten more pounds to lose in order to be/have:

 a) a healthy BMI

 b) reach my goal of a thirty pound weight drop

 c) successful at achieving a better health… (with added cuteness)

So friends, I am going to try very hard to duplicate my success this coming week by only having two meals daily and making sure not to eat after 4 pm.  If I am starved in the evening to the point of complete discomfort in the evening I will eat fruit.  Other than that, I think that is what my body needs in order to obtain healthy weight loss.  I will try my best to post my meals this week so you all can see I am not starving myself… but not over-eating either.  This is my week- I can feel it!
