I'm down 0.6 pounds today, hitting the 20 pound mark on the nose! (Although, I'm down 23.4 pounds from my high weight, but I digress....) I guess I'll quit being mopey now. I can't believe there are only two weeks left! My new adjusted goal is to lose more than 30 pounds during this cycle. Yes, even 30.1 pounds will qualify!
I've gotten a bit lazy with the cooking. We're still eating what we're supposed to, but I'm not cooking every day anymore. Instead I cook 10 or more servings of food and measure and bag them individually so HS and I only have to grab a serving and nuke it and select a vegetable to accompany it. As a result, the Littles probably aren't having the quality meal choices they were having in the beginning of the Protocol. I'm just really burned out on cooking every day, so the pre-cooking keeps me from slipping up and turning to garbage food. I don't know if HS is super-annoyed with it yet, but I've given myself a pass for the next two weeks. When we head into Phase 3, I'll do better about cooking a variety of foods AND include the Littles in our meals. For now, I'm just going to concentrate on getting HS and I successfully through Phase 2--even if it means being bored with the food choices.

179.7
Down 24.9 pounds since I first weighed in and happily under 180! I can round to 25 pounds, right? Doctor visit went well, lost 3/4 of an inch in my ribs, same with hips. Lost another 1.25 inches in the rear as well. Arms, legs, and chest stayed the same. Doc sound it's all muscle which I already knew! Doc also recommended I begin anaerobic exercise now, said that it will continue to help with the weight loss over the next 2 weeks.
I definitely think I'm going to get down to the 175 now and I'm hoping for at least 172. That would put me with in 7 pounds of where I had hoped I would end (165) and I can manage that. As for exercising after this is all done I did find a book that I will have to review after I read it. It's called Chi Running by Danny Dreyer and from the review I read on boingboing it might just be what I'm looking for. Only once in my life I really enjoyed running and it was when I was in great shape and could zone out, this might help me get back to that point. I'll probably pick up the book this week and I'll let you know what I think about it.
