So, today is the official end of my Induction. I started Induction weighing 231 lbs. and today, I weigh 223 lbs. I'm pretty proud of the 8 lbs I'm no longer carrying around! Most of my loss occured in the first week and I was really hoping to match that loss in my second week. It didn't happen but I'm OK with that. I have been reading all around the internet about the dreaded 2nd Week Stall. I'm just going to keep pushing forward and see what happens for me. Everyone seems to attribute it to my body trying to settle into my new WOE -- it's a big shock to my system.
The last two days, I admit I did not eat nearly enough (I met my carbs but my cals were much too low, which is counterproductive to my loss), nor did I drink enough water (I was 20 oz. shy on Wednesday and Thursday). I worked 12-hour shifts Monday-Wednesday and struggled my last day at work to eat all my food. My appetite just was not there. Then, yesterday I was very busy preparing for our big Usher concert and became quite pre-occupied. We stopped at The Cheesecake Factory and I ate most of my cobb salad with a small amount of balsamic vinegar (it had suger so I measured two teaspoons out). I was willing to accept that small amount of sugar in lieu of the other options I had. Funny thing is, I have been on the scale every morning this week watching my water weight bounce between 223 lbs. and 225 lbs. I was getting a little discouraged with the fluctuations but this morning I have returned to my lowest weight so far. Somehow, I had a feeling that would happen!
I've got a late start to today -- we didn't get home from Orlando until 2AM so I woke up very, very late this morning. I need to go grocery shopping this weekend to stock up on more meat and fresh veggies. Here's to hoping my weight loss picks up again! I still feel great after all this time though. :)
