The second week.

The second week was a hard one for me.  Some of it was my fault some of it wasn't.  So here it is, the good the bad and the ugly.

The good is that despite having a fair amount off plan i was still down 1.5lbs. I didn't do my measurement as doing them once a week feels too much for me. I would rather do them once a month and actually see the results like that.

The bad is that in some regards i failed to plan..so didn't have as many things prepared as i should have and thus was off plan. Also had my license plates stolen so spent way too long running around doing stuff and ended up eating out to much. That's one of the things i am finding limiting with this plan...its all based on eating at home which doesn't always reflect my lifestyle. I do sort of try to follow the balance your plate ideals if i have to eat out. I don't know if it makes a ton of difference but it makes me feel better.

The ugly is that there were two days i didn't even try to be on plan. I got overtired or caught a a bit of a virus or something but the thought of most foods just made my stomach turn. So i ate mostly soup and bland foods and not enough protein but i also didn't eat much so...a rough two days overall.

This week so far is mostly back on track. I'm learning how to make my tweaks to the plan to fit what i need out of food.  Giving up diet coke fully is not something I'm ready for, but only have it twice a week i can do. Little things like that are how I'd going to make this work for me.

My one thing is that this plan doesn't take some things in mind...i will be eating the same amounts of food now and at 100 lbs lost and i imagine my nutrition requirements are going to be a little different then. A breastfeeding woman doesn't get special consideration but a man does.  That makes me feel a bit nervous because if my weight loss stalls or plateaus how to change things to restart thing? When Jussi is extra hungry there isn't much wiggle room for him which leads to  snacking. Maybe this is going to be changed for the full launch. I hope.
