Getting pretty frustrated with this scale these days.   I'm pushing the protein today and stopping walking for a bit.

Went to see Avengers this afternoon, finally.  It was good that there was hardly anyone in the theater.  Thursday night I won't be so lucky.  Midnight showing of Snow White and The Huntsman.  There will be tons of people munching on popcorn.

Well back up 0.4 which could be due to all the walking yesterday or the lack of sleep.  Who knows.  Today was family Sunday.  Hung out at home and watched a few sports things on TV, ran to Target for a bit, and I made chili dogs for the family (both the vegetarian and the omnis).

Plugging along.  Tomorrow starts week 3.  I am hoping that means some losses.

Well it's about time!  1.2 lbs this morning.  My net loss so far for week two is an entire 0.6 lbs.  ah well.. it is what it is.  Perhaps this coming week will be better.  I do still have one more day though.   Eating a regular menu today with extra protein and up to my calorie limit.   I also did two walks today.  The first one was just two miles, but we had my granddaughter in tow in a stroller and she was much more interested in getting to the playground.  I came home and did almost 4 miles around the neighborhood.

Down 0.6 and still no where near where I was 5 days ago.  Driving me crazy, but at least my hunger situation has been resolved.  I spent 5 hours this afternoon helping a handyman friend of mine troubleshoot a wiring issue with my outdoor lights.  Blah.. did not get any of the errands done that I had planned.

I did manage to get in an hour walking this evening though.

I am pulling an old and very ROGUE trick out today for my eating plan.  This is definitely not protocol.

Stop the rollercoaster!  I want to get off!  I am up 1 lb again.  Second time in several days.  Seems I just whittle most of it back off and boom. 

I am pulling an old trick out today.  A mini-steak day.  Nothing for lunch, plenty to drink, and a double portion of steak with an apple for dinner.   Here's hoping.
