I made it thru Day 4. It was pretty easy. I love bananas. I made myself 2 banana shakes, each of them had 2 bananas mixed with ice and soy milk (vs. regular milk). Super yummy. You are supposed to eat 8 bananas, but I didn’t need anymore than the 4 I ate.
I had a banana shake in the morning, a banana shake in the early afternoon, and a bowl of the soup for dinner. I drank a lot of water today … I marked 9 glasses officially, but I know it was way more than that. It was a warm day today and I did a bunch of stuff around the house… I was just thirsty and I love water.
But get this, I GAINED weight! Yes, only an ounce, but seriously?!?!? I have no idea why, I felt good, didn’t feel hungry, stayed on target/plan.. just boggles my mind (maybe the soy milk vs. regular milk? not eating all 8 bananas?, the alcohol from the day before?). I keep thinking to myself, why am I doing this? I’m doing this to lose weight, not gain weight.. surely something is up. I eat pretty healthy as it is, and cutting out carbs hasn’t been that big of a deal.. but cutting back on alcohol, and thus my social life, is a BIG DEAL. So I’m now tinkering with the idea of giving up.. Below are the stats:
| Day | Date | Day | Morn Weight (lbs) | Daily Loss/ Gain | Total Loss | # glasses of Water |
| 1 | 29-Aug | Mon. | 126.1 | 8 | ||
| 2 | 30-Aug | Tues. | 124.1 | (2.0) | (2.0) | 8 |
| 3 | 31-Aug | Wed. | 123.6 | (0.5) | (2.5) | 7 |
| 4 | 1-Sep | Thurs. | 123.6 | 0.0 | (2.5) | 9 |
| 5 | 2-Sep | Fri. | 123.7 | 0.1 | (2.4) |
The only craving I had was for fruits, and specifically the organic grapes I have sitting in my fridge. It was hard to not grab a handful every time I opened the fridge. I’m looking forward to eating some meat on Day 5… I have dreams of a hamburger.. I might make some ground beef and season with taco seasoning, mix it with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, onions, a bit of cheese.. yum!
What I miss the most is not sweets (I don’t really have a sweet tooth), but tortilla chips and beans. I eat mexican food all the time – I love it, the chips, the beans, salsa, cheese, etc.. it’s a staple in my life, along with soft toilet paper. 😉
Wish me luck on Day 5… if I don’t lose weight, I’m NOT going to stick with the plan…
Paula's Ponderings 
These type of bathrtooms scales cost more but you will get bettfer results
from them. Wheether this is fair and reasonable is debatable, but nevertheless it is
something that the older generation must deal with. Pin up posters of
people who are slim and trim, preferably next to your mirror.
You’re highly motivated to turn this luxurious way of
eating into a lifestyle because you don’t have too
count calories, and you believe you can eat alll of the low carb
foods you want. Its perfectly OK to havve more calories some days and leess calories on other days.
