Phase 2, Day 18

Another uneventful day/night. Once I select & purchase a quality mechanical scale. I'll start weighing myself weekly again. For now, I can tell you that the weight loss seem to be continuing, just at a slower pace than it once was. And that's expected. My current goal is to hit 230 by the end of August, when I go on vacation. That's less than 2 pounds per week, which ought to be well within the realm of possibilities.

Oh, and after today, I'm not going to keep track of the supplements. I'm out of the appetite suppressant, so the only supplements will be a daily vitamin, and 2 doses of the fat burner. I can get both of those OTC. I'll try & make note of my appetite and see if cutting the suppressant makes things difficult.

Today, 5/24/09:

Supplements: All taken

Water: 1 gallon

Cardio: 40 minutes

Meal 1- 7 oz mahi (7 vlp) and 3 total cups broccoli & mushrooms, measured raw (3 veg)

Meal 2- 5 oz turkey sausage (5 lp) and 2 cups bell peppers, measured raw (2 veg)

Meal 3- 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (4 vlp) and 1 cup raw celery (1 veg)

Freebie- 1 dill pickle spear

Totals: 11 servings very lean protein, 5 servings lean protein, 6 servings veg. Close enough for government work.

Notes: The mahi fillet I cooked just happened to be 7 oz, and the turkey sausage that was left was a total of 5 oz. Completely unplanned. But no sense leaving 1 oz of sausage in the freezer, so I let my "lean protein" go one ounce high today. Think I'll live.
