After a disappointing week where I actually GAINED a pound, I am back on track, and was rewarded for my efforts with a 3.4 pound weight loss this week. I am using very lean protein in addition to my liquid shakes (like roast chicken or hard cooked eggs). That seems to satisfy my need for something 'savory' rather than the all-sweet flavors of the meal replacement formula.
I'm feeling frustrated with not being able to exercise much. After finally getting my knee back in shape, it seems I now have plantar fasciitis, and walking is very painful. Because the recovery for this can be long and slow, I will need to come up with another exercise option, so it looks like joining a gym is in order, so I can use exercise bikes and other equipment. I had hoped to put off joining a gym or the Y until I had more weight off, but it seems the universe has another plan.
So far, I am down nearly 14 pounds since beginning the program. I can see small differences already- my watchband is not as tight as it was three weeks ago, and my ankles are not as swollen. My pants fit a bit better (they were pretty snug to start with). I know that more changes are coming!
