Day 25 VLCD - I'm 60% There!

It's wild to think that I've made my way this far through the protocol. I think I've established some good habits, taught my body and mind about nutrition and lost a bit of weight along the way. I feel good and I'm looking good. I wore my Bisou Bisou "Charlie's Angels" outfit to my hubby's bodybuilding competition. He loved it and was so happy to see me in it again. It looks a lot like the picture here, but mine is a halter-style in dark blue.

There's a host of clothing waiting for me and I'm so excited about wearing my old/new clothes. Some items still have tags (my wishful thinking items that I never got into). I still haven't shared what I'm doing with people. They still just think that I'm eating "clean" and they're very respective of that. When we went out last Friday, they were so conscientious about finding a place where I could actually order items. How very kind!

I had a bit of a gain (.2lbs), but I have a feeling it was the tomatoes from yesterday. I think I have to plan to drink additional water on the days I have those. Salt is my bloats encouragement and I don't want them to be friends anymore.

Here's what I had today:

March 22nd, 2010

Calorie goal: 1,070; calories consumed: 413; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 413

Mood: Okay

Had a bit of a gain this morning, but not by much (.2lbs). I have a feeling it was yesterday's stewed tomatoes. I'll have to watch those. Today, I'm drinking my water and hoping to get an extra 24 ounces in for a total of 1 gallon of water today. We'll see if I make it. [edit this diary entry]
