Hello-
I'm not very happy with myself. As you may remember from my last post my weight has been up a couple of pounds for the last couple weeks. I told you that it was water. I was wrong. I went for my weigh in at Dr Poon's office this morning and I have gained back 3 lbs of fat. I am so disappointed in myself. I did not like sitting in that office, face to face with the doctor, being told I was up. That is not a situation I want to put myself in again. Truthfully, since I knew I was up on the scale, I considered calling to cancel my appointment. I thought I was just retaining water. I was kind of curious how the body composition scale would read me. It was so much worse than I had imagined. According to my home scale, my weight was up about 1.5 lbs from my last in-office weigh-in. The past few days I had been drinking water like it was my job- trying to flush the water-weight from my body. It worked. I was actually down 1.5 lbs of Total Body Water. What was horrifying was that I was up 3.5 lbs of FAT!
So it's time to pull up my socks. What I intend to do between now and my next weigh in is to be COMPLETELY transparent. I am going to journal every evening. I'll give the numbers from my home scale and a detailed food journal. If I exercise, I will recount that as well. I truly hope to "redeem" myself with a substantial loss in time for my next 2 week weigh in.
My results so far:
June 6 June 26 July 17 July 31 Aug 14 Aug 28 Sept 11 S25

Fat Mass 75.6 67.0 67.8 66.8 64.0 62.5 59.0 62.5
TBW 82.5 81.5 79.0 78.0 78.5 78.0 78.0 76.5
My weight this morning on my scale was 168.8. I did not record my scale's calculations of body fat percentage and hydration, but I will each morning from this point on for the next two weeks.
My goal is to hold myself to a greater level of accountability and to hopefully reap a reward of weightloss similar to what I achieved during week one of this diet.
Breakfast- 2 eggs, scrambled
lunch- ground turkey with Guy's BBQ sauce
dinner- spinach salad with a small amount of goat cheese, 1 tbsp. garlic dressing, mashed cauliflower, 4 small brussle sprouts, baked basa fish, coated in carbquick
water- 3 litres and counting
Ayurvedic Tea- 2 large mugs
Coffee- 4 cups
Diet pepsi- 1.5 cans
I will also give myself a score between 1-5 of how well I followed 'the diet' each day. Today I give myself a 4. If I could make improvements I would have not had cheese in my salad, I would have used a calorie free salad dressing, also I would not have used the Carbquick on my fish.
During my consultation with the Dr today, he told me I was snacking too much. It is my intention to cut out ALL snacks for the next 2 weeks with the exception of Jello-Lite.
So there you have it friends, I screwed up. You'll be seeing a lot more of me over the next 14 days. I sure hope to make it worth my while. It was horrible seeing the scale back in the 170s this past week and a half. I'm praying that I can get my act together and be firmly back in the 160s and perhaps even the 150s by my next official weigh-in.
