I get knocked down, but I get up again

Week one of phase 1 is ovah!  I stayed totally on plan - not even a single slip-up, so I’m very pleased with how I did.  I didn’t lose much weight at all, but my period will start within the next day or so, and I always put on at least 3 pounds during the week before, so the fact that I lost ANY instead of putting it on like usual is a good thing; I’m hoping that next Friday’s weigh-in will be heaps better.

Tomorrow is dh’s family reunion, and anyone who has ever been to a Southern family reunion knows that there isn’t anything served that could remotely be considered healthy or SBD friendly.  I’ve racked my brain trying to come up with something I could take that I could eat while staying on-plan while it still being palatable to everyone else there, but I’ve come up empty.  I think I will allow myself a small cheat instead - I’ll just eat what’s there but try to stick to small portions of the least unhealthy stuff (green beans, peas, meatloaf instead of fried chicken, etc) and skip the deserts entirely - I can have a SBD desert when I get home.  I’ll be right back on plan Sunday, so hopefully it won’t do too much damage.

BTW - I find it completely unfair (and rather irritating) that I’m working this hard and it’s coming off agonizingly slooooooowly, but my husband can just cut down to medium portions of junk instead of large and the weight just melts off.

Ok - for the numbers:

SW (this time) 209                  CW 207                           Total loss (this time) 2 pounds
