Well I phased off for two weeks and continued to lose. Two pounds exactly. I have to say I am looking forward to phasing off again. Those breakfasts were delicious! I was pleased to have only gained 4 lbs on my vacation. (And I am sure at least one or two of those is still water!!!) It was a week of eating and drinking like crazy and I fully expected to gain more. So here I am today on Day 1 of OP....hoping the headaches won't be a wicked as the last time I started but will embrace them as payment for my week of living like a rockstar. All of this goes to show that maintaining will not be that hard once I am there because I never eat and drink like that on a normal basis. Reassuring to me!
Have a great week everybody!

I didn't "phase off" before I went off diet during vacation, and was out of ketosis for a week. The only thing I dealt with was hunger day one back OP. No headaches, no lethargy. I didn't indulge hugely, and I didn't gain any weight, but I did go out of ketosis because of bread products...my kryptonite. I was very pleased that even though I indulged, I maintained my weight. Made me realize that maintaining won't be that big of a deal when I get there.

Hope today is as easy as my redo day one!
