The good news: Nicole and I weighed in on Monday (would have been Day 9 of detox). She lost 5 pounds of the 10 she wants to lose. I lost 7 of the 35 I want to lose. We planned to eat Phase 1 save a few fat free hot dogs and some vegetarian baked beans while we were camping Monday and Tuesday. Not so...
The bad news: The dogs slid into the fire. Then, the fire went out. The 3 remaining dogs we had were smoked and not cooked because we couldn't get the coals and fire hot enough. We wound up eating CRAP Monday and Tuesday.
The good news: We actually felt like crap last night. I mean, we had a 3.3 mile hike to a waterfall (downhill to the falls, uphill back). I thought I'd have a heart attack. But we made it. And while I am a bit sore, it's my stomach that hurts. We ate crapily (Blackberry Ice Cream Pie anyone?) and it shows. So, we're back on Phase 1 for Wed-Monday. We'll weigh in on Monday again and hopefully show at least another 2 pound loss (from the original loss that is).
Tuesday is my birthday and we will go off diet. Not crazy mind you: either Thai or Italian. And by Italian I mean mussels marinara, a salad and cheese maybe dessert. Oh and a glass of chianti.
That's the plan anyway. Let's see how it goes. I am surprised by the way I've adapted to eating smaller portions and eating vegetarian! It hasn't been THAT hard at all! We'll see if I still feel that way after ANOTHER week on Phase 1!
