on the good news side

I confirmed at the gym that I'm down to 261. That's 11-15 pounds in two weeks.

I was thinking I might keep doing the first phase for another week or two, but I'm missing bread too much (I had a peanut butter and jam sandwich yesterday in the first time since forever).

Congrats.

I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn't make it through the first two days without cheating. =)

Well, and I figured I wouldn't do this well (on the high side of the 7-13 pounds they estimate) because I was cheating a bit here and there. But it's a lot easier than I thought to eat mostly veg and lean meat and some dairy. Chocolate is not a religion with me as it is with some :-) And the next phase will not be too hard, as I'm more fond of heavier, full-grain breads than white bread to begin with. And I get plain yoghurt (and frozen yoghurt) back (so I can eat something for breakfast other than eggs or cottage cheese). And fruit! No bannanas and no watermelon doesn't break my heart, but I'm glad to get apples and peaches again.
