Belated

Sorry for the long belated update.

Nothing really to report. The LAD drops took a really negative turn for my body so I had to give those up. 

Because of that, I've stalled at my last weight. Haven't lost, but I haven't gained either, so that's good. 

I figure that the LAD diet costs me $100 a month, and a gym down the street is only $30 a month. I could get a personal trainer AND the membership at the gym for the $100 I was paying for. 

Think I'll be checking that out after payday! 

Another -.5

Down another half pound!

Now I'm at an even number again. yay!

This week hasn't been too hard. I found out I'm pretty good with making up healthy delicious recipes. I've been making my own homemade orange chicken for lunch. It is soooo good. Even my husband wants to eat it! Also, peach chicken. Fruits really do go lovely with poultry!

My water intake has gotten a lot easier. I measured out how many cups is in this canteen I have. Turns out there are four. So I just drink 3 of those a day and my water intake goal is reached! 

Well off to another day of losing pounds!

-.5!

-0.5

Only down by half a pound today. That's ok though. It is still progress. I stalled the past couple of days. 

I've been trying to sell my motorcycle and everyone who has said they will buy it has become flakes and not shown up. So I changed my schedule all around for nothing. 

But at least I started to lose again, even if it is only half a pound.  I can deal with that! 

-0.5!

-2.5

Down another 2.5 lbs! Not too much to update today, because I just updated yesterday. 

This diet is really working well! I hope it keeps on helping me! I am so proud of myself. 

Hubby mentioned another compliment. He said that my arms look a lot smaller. I'm really loving these things he is saying! 

Of course, it goes both ways. He is trying to bulk up so I tell him anything I notice on him too!

-2.5

-1.5

Down another pound and a half! 

LAD says you can lose a pound a day. This is days three and I've only lost 1.5, but 1/5 every few days is fine with me!

It's kind of too early to tell if this is going to work or not. So far, so good. I haven't been very hungry as long as I eat on time. 5 oz of protein five times a day is really nice. Keeps me good and full. 

The only issue I've had is drinking the water. I have to drink half my weight in ounces every day. Which is 90 oz. Which is 11 cups. It doesn't really seem like a lot, but I hardly ever drink any water, so just 11 cups is super challenging! 

Yesterday, I decided to put on a nice shirt and pants just because I could. I walked down the hall, passing Jon and he asks, "Have you lost weight? Your waist looks smaller."

That felt awesome. 

I'm down 9.5 pounds since I started tracking seriously. I'm so ecstatic! 

-1.5!

LAD Day 1 P1

Today is my first day on the Liquid Amino Diet. So far it's been ok. I'm not super hungry by any means, so that is good. The drops don't really taste like anything. I'm glad they aren't bitter! 

This diet makes big promises, but I honestly am not really keeping stock in all of the hype. If it works amazingly, then great! If it works slowly but surely, that's great too. I just like having the outline of eating healthier. 

I don't have to give up my tea either! I was so happy to learn that! 

I've been maintaining my 180. I've also been extremely sick for the past week so I haven't been paying much attention to what I was eating. Then when I did eat, my appetite was diminished so I didn't eat a lot. Probably the only good thing about being sick. 

I will definitely update if and when I see anything amazing happen. ;)
