The other day Superman said something, and I've been thinking about it. We were talking about diet since him, and his training partner K are both on strict cutting diets. He said it's a little easier, and sucks a little less, when you know your friends are "suffering" through it too. You know, 'cause misery loves company 😁.

So I've decided to do 2-3 more continous  rounds of 21DF, and not stop til his competition in late September.  I know I won't follow plan 100%, but I'm sure I can manage 80% of the time. That will still allow for coffee with JC and chocolate to help me through rough times at work (someone will DIE if I completely cut out chocolate and alcohol).

If I can lose 1 pound a week for the next 9 weeks, I will officially be the lightest I have been since possibly before I got pregnant with DS2. And only about 15 lbs away from the obese/overweight line. It would be so awesome to finally hit the overweight BMI after all these years.

Round 2 results....

This round I lost weight like crazy the first week--2.4lbs. Then PMS hit, and I "regained" a pound or so. This morning I'm finally back where I was at the end of the first week. I'm a little disappointed that I only lost 2.4 lbs this round, but pumped that my total is 6lbs in 6 weeks. I did lose an inch on my waist this round.

I'm thinking my results this round are due to a combination of factors. I averaged about 3 cups of veggies a day instead of 4/5 from last round. I wasn't as regular this round, despite adding a daily probiotic. I also added a few things to my meals that are not 21DF approved, like granola, and Bare Naked brand granola bars.

Today is the first day of round 3, and I'm hoping it's a good round. For a few days I'm going to bump my veggies up a little, and see if that helps my regularity issues. Maybe next week I'll skip the granola in my yogurt and see if that helps the scale move at all. If I can lose a pound a week this round, I'll have lost all of the 9 lbs I regained. Then I can get back to real losing.
