So I feel dumb for not remember my weight this morning.  I know I felt really good about it, but I can't remember which number it was & I have already eaten & drank water so there is no sense jumping back on the scale.

So I have done the experiment I said I was going to do with the 1 day protein + 2 day protein/vegetable.  Yesterday morning I was in a rush, so couldn't blog, but I had lost .2lbs on my vegetable day on Day 22.  Obviously not great numbers, as I have been finding, so this morning I was excited to jump back on the scale to see the number I had lost on Day 23.  I am pretty sure it was 146.6, as I was excited to have lost .5 lb since yesterday, but it could have been 146.4.  This proved my theory that the rotation of the protein then 2 days protein/vegetable is more effective for me.  I am not sure if it is because I am in taking more food, or because the days after I have vegetables my bowel movements are a little more substantial.  Whatever the reason, I don't think I am going to sway from it as I like the idea of losing numbers like that during the week, as I had a slow weight loss week last week. 

Another note, I really like having the weekend as protein + vegetables, so I think I am going to do 2 days now of pure protein so that my saturday/sunday can consist of the mixture of the two.  I had a great weekend last weekend with my results so I am going to try and replicate what I did last weekend.  I am determined to break the 145.2lbs by Monday, as that will mean 15lbs in my first month.  Not too shabby.

I am not expecting the next 15 to come off quite as easy or quite as fast, but after I lose 15, I only have 20 more to go, and I think doing 10lb in one month is realistic & even if I add working out into the mix, I will be even more successful.  If I can do 10lb/month, for the next 2 months, I will be at my goal weight of 125 by October 1st.  YES PLEASE!

Since I am going to do the 2 proteins for Day 24 & 25, I am anxious to see if I get the same kind of results by having 2 proteins in a row that I do 2 protein+vegetable days in a row.  I have yet to try this, and now I have a better understanding of what my weight loss patterns have been so it will be interesting to see if maybe doing 2 and 2, speeds up my weight loss.
