‘Did you eat today?’ - most common question I get asked everyday. Up to 18 pounds as of last weigh in. Insomnia & weight loss possibly correlated? Meeeh
2 month update...
Well, it’s been two months since I completed this diet… This morning I wore a dress that I bought knowing it would only fit after some serious weight loss. I actually tried to wear it five days after I was done with this diet and it was still a no go. When I slipped it on today and it was actually loose fitting, I knew it was time to step on the scale.
I have lost 17 pounds since I...

Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee + 1 cube of sugar + 1 slice of toast Lunch: 2 hard-boiled eggs + 1 slice of...

My Thirteen Day Diet...
So the picture might be a little exaggerated….
Tomorrow I start a rigorous diet! I am kind of nervous given that it is a totally carb free diet. For two weeks! I plan on keeping a journal to encourage myself and make sure I don’t cheat! I’m least excited about drinking coffee most mornings (eek that stuff makes my tummy hurt!) I’m really excited about watching the pounds...
