Phase 2, Day 1

So I returned home from vacation on Sunday night and I was beat. So tired that I skipped my Monday doctor's appointment. And I was so disorganized about everything from laundry to cooking to e-mail, that I didn't get started back on the diet properly until today (last night- remember, I work nights, and this is the end of my day)

I didn't take the weight loss supplements while on vacation, so I have plenty to get me thru to my next visit on Monday morning.

Because I was not on the diet for about 10 days, I have reverted to Stage 1, where you get 12 ounces of very lean protein & nothing more, until you hit ketosis. I have 1 ketosis test strip left, and after that, I may have to go see if my local pharmacy carries them.

My home scale is not very consistent, so until I go to the doctor's office, I won't know how my weight fared on vacation. Based on my gut feeling (pun intended) along with a few steps on the home scale, I'd say I may have maintained, or maybe gained a pound. Nothing earth shattering.

While on vacation, I basically ate fairly healthy when possible, but without counting carbs, etc. I did indulge by going out for pizza with a friend one night, and having dessert once or twice. I also got my sushi craving taken care of. I ought to be good to go until my next vacation in August.
