Day 14

The end of day 14... tomorrow starts the first day of week 3!!!! It's going faster than I thought and the food has been alright and kept me focused.  After 14 days of tracking, I'm down a net total of 10.6 pounds (11.2 pounds since starting VLCD on day 3, 11 days ago) in 13 days!!! In inches I've lost a net 11.75" (13" since starting VLCD)!!!! I know the numbers show it, but I'm still not excited... I am definitely happy about the loss in only 2 weeks but since those inches are in various spots in spot increments, I haven't seen a huge difference in my clothes.  They were very snug before and this morning I was able to put on my work pants and not feel stuffed in them but they were still not really lose.  The other visible thing I've really noticed is my ring.  I used to have trouble moving it or taking it off and not, if I'm not retaining water, it will slide right off!

Last night I decided to cook up my meals for the week... I had two dishes of chicken asparagus, two dishes of stuffed chicken, two dishes of buffalo chicken strips and one Mexican cilantro chicken dish.  The Mexican cilantro dish was pretty good today at lunch and I had the stuffed chicken tonight.  It didn't taste quite as good as the first round but I used Chinese spinach instead of regular spinach.  I need to go to the store tomorrow after work to get tomato paste to make ketchup to make some mini meat-loafs for my other meals.

We may be going to Columbia for Bob's niece's 5th birthday on July 10th.  I'll probably still be in phase 2 but hopefully by then I'll be down another 15 and may be able to wear a swimming suit to enjoy the huge water slide they rented for the birthday.  We will see... I'm still not at bikini point yet so I'll decide at that time or as it gets closer.  I'd like to be around 145-150 (max) before considering a bikini again.  I do have a swim suit cover/dress so that may be getting used as well.

I think at this rate, I'll be doing a second round later this summer so I'm done by my birthday and at my goal weight before turning the big 30!!!

I CAN DO THIS!!!
