160.6 Phase One - Day Nine

hello,
I fell out of the loop over the long weekend.  And truthfully, I fell off of my plan as well.  I made some food choices the past few days that were not Dr. Poon approved.  I am proud to say however that I have definitely made changes to my diet that are permanent and lasting.  even though I went off the plan I still ate much more mindfully than the 'old Jana' would have.

Here are this week's numbers so far:


                       Day 1    Day2    Day3     Day4   Day 9
Weight           161.6     160.4    161.0    160.6   160.6
Bf %                             36.7      36.6       36.9     37.1
BFLBS                          58.9     58.9       59.2     59.6
H2O%                           46.2     46.2       46.0     45.9 
H2OLBS                       74.1     74.4       73.8     73.7

Friday (day 5) was Valentine's Day.  My husband and I had a wonderful day together.  We took a 3 hour hike in the woods and had a picnic in the snow.  We drank a bottle of red wine and made love under a tree in a foot of snow!!  Who knew he was so spontaneous!  So needless to say, I burned off lots of calories.  But some of my misguided food choices were pumpernickel bread and spinach dip, red wine in excess, and a red velvet cupcake. 

Saturday (day 6) we had pizza for dinner.  I ate 3 delicious slices.  I have not had 'real' pizza since beginning this diet.  It really was a treat. 

Sunday (day 7) I think I probably pulled it together and ate properly.  I don't remember what we ate on Sunday.

Monday (day 8) I ate healthfully.  I had scrambled eggs and peameal bacon for breakfast.  Tossed salad for lunch and Chicken breast and coleslaw for dinner.  We had a hockey game in the evening and I played hard.  We only had 3 subs.  We won 5-1. 

That brings us to today.  I stepped on the scale this morning and was pleased to see that I had not gained any weight.  Obviously though, if I want to reach my goals, I need to stick to the plan and not allow myself to go off track.  It is time to pull it together.

Today my husband and I had a pretty eventful day.  He won an election at work and I had a very profitable sale.  My husband wanted to celebrate by going for lunch.  We went to a local Chinese Buffet.  I did my best to eat from the salad bar and protein.  I would be kidding myself though to say that I stayed on track.  Most of the meat is deep-fried and covered in high sodium, high-sugar sauces.  I did the best I could in that situation., and I did enjoy it.  I was disciplined enough to avoid the dessert table entirely.  So a small pat on my back for that.    Aside from this meal I have only had coffee today.  I napped with my husband all afternoon.  And now it time to get back down to business and get some work done around here.

Hopefully the scale is kind to me in the morning.  I so badly want to see the 150s but I have no one to blame for not getting there but myself.
