Day 29

Todays Starting Weight : 162.3 lbs
Total Weight lost to Date: 20.2 lbs


For those of you reading my blog, I apologize for the long stretch without any posts, life got a little away from me and I have been swamped with loads of other things on my plate. However, I did not deviate from the program. I have continued to lose a steady amount of weight and in less then one month I lost 20 pounds!! I have never been this successful in one month on any program I have ever tried. 


Here are a few things that I have learned since my absence from blogging. Although the bottle says 10 drops (0.25ml) those numbers do not seem to be the same. I felt that I was going through my bottle faster than I should have based on the information printed in the guide book. I measured the 10 drops I was taking and it was more than the 0.25ml marked on the dropper. I have since stopped dropping 10 individual drops and have begun carefully measuring the 0.25ml and I have suffered in the weight loss category. 


I consulted my Stimulock practitioner when my weight loss slowed to only .5 lbs/day about 7 days ago. I supplied her with a detailed list of my foods and although I was not eating anything that wasn't on protocol she noticed a few mistakes in my eating habits. I was not eating enough fruit (sometimes I would not eat the whole serving thinking that it would be ok, apparently not) and I was eating the cereal option every morning. She recommended that I do a recovery day and that following that I should switch to the egg and bread option for breakfast. Additionally, I thought that on days that I had a salad for lunch that I should not have my leafy greens at dinner as well, this was wrong. My practitioner explained to me that even if I had a salad at dinner, it was still very important for me to have my leafy greens at dinner. 


People are starting to comment on my weight loss and that feels really great, but what feels even better are my pants! They are getting baggy and button without the slightest problem. I am not only washing my jeans I am actually putting them in the DRYER! I am looking forward to breaking into the closet of jeans that I have held onto hoping that I would one day fit back into them. 


I will try my best to post on a much more regular basis, I am feeling great and looking much better too!
