Day 20

Weight: 173.0
Overnight: -1.8
Overall: -15.1

Not bad! Very happy to see that drop.
I need to be better about posting each day. Reading back through last round's posts is so helpful for me. Right now I'm about where I was at day 5 last round. It's helpful to read what was going on then or see what size I was at what point, etc. One thing I noticed reading through is how hungry I always was. It's pretty sad to read, actually. This time around I have an appetite suppressant Rx. I'm trying not to take them unless I absolutely need it. I want to have them when I need it at the end.
I'm going to quickly summarize what's been going on the last few days--
I had some disappointing weigh-ins: 175.6, 175.8, 175.6, 174.8 --- now 173.0. Better. But frustrating for a while there! Of course, I also just started my period 2 days ago, so I wonder if that contributes. It has to, right? Isn't that how women's bodies are? -- designed to work against us? :(
I've also found some satisfying recipes. I now boil chicken for the broth, add spices, and it's actually decent "soup." And if I pull the chicken out, I can save it for something else later. I like to dice it up and put it in with spinach, chopped celery and lemon juice. Lots tastier than it sounds, lol.
I'm also getting better at my Heaven Chicken. Oh, and my latest thing is that I have been eating fatfree cottage cheese w/ stevia on top for my protein. Seriously tasty. And quick and easy. I'm thinking it's better for me to eat something than nothing. I don't think skipping seems to help. Maybe it does. Who knows? But instead of waiting so long that I just end up skipping lunch, I grab the cottage cheese (3.5 oz) and it's perfect.
