Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm still in this. I don't know that any one is reading since I'm not posting on FB, but I'm still being accountable. I wanted to weigh this morning, but I skipped it. I kinda want to weigh just to submit a weight to try for prizes on my diet bet, so we'll see. I should just wait til Saturday morning. I think ketosis is kicking in today. I've got the headache and am feeling pretty good otherwise. I had 4 pretzel squares this morning but that was it. I logged it. I'm sure I'm drinking to much diet pop/sugar free drinks, but it's getting me through right now. I'll try to wean off those eventually too.
Anyhow - that's all for now :)

Feeling pretty good!
Day one wasn't too bad. I did really well up until around 6 p.m. and then I was starving. Outside of my supplements I had some garlic stuffed olives - omgsooooogood
Today started off okay - I've had my strawberry cheesecake bar and water and tea. Started the morning with a Diet Dr. Pepper which I think was a bad choice because I got super lightheaded and queasy - so I had 4 little pretzel squares. I logged them - and I'm sure that in a couple days I'll be feeling much better.
I had a pudding for a snack and will have another later and a shake for lunch.
I'll also have a shake for dinner. Maybe some veggies.
I'm going to try not to weigh until Saturday morning. Whenever I say that, I go and weigh tho, so we'll see. LOL Today I'm avoiding cupcakes at work -- I also avoided the amazingly deliciously smelling cookies that Steve made last night! So all in all I'm doing well :)

Here we go again! VLCD part 2
So why'd I stop doing VLCD in the first place????
I was down 30 lbs in just over 2 months... I was feeling good... I got down to 240.2........ what tends to happen, is that I get close to something big -- in this case the 230s and I freak. I can't explain why I freak, but I do. And I sabatoge myself. I eat and give up. This makes no sense to me, but that's what happens.
Soooo I gave up with the excuse that ketosis and the process of getting into it sucks...which, yes it does, but it also makes sense for burning fat. I got frustrated that if I wanted to indulge at a party or something that it was going to take me 3 days or so to get back into ketosis. Ummm...yeah Katie...that's a consequence. Even this isn't a miracle -- you can't just eat whatever you want and then go back to dropping lbs the next day. So here I am, commiting to at least 2 weeks on VLCD. I had some supplements left and purchased some more.
Yesterday I indulged with a steak (and roasted cauliflower! YUM!) and then a couple homemade cookies that Steve made and some ice cream for dessert. I feel very focused this morning. I've had tea, water and a BetterMd shake!
I've been having headaches a lot lately and I'm sure getting healthier will help. Also - going to the Palace 2 weeks in a row and climbing all those stairs made me feel like I was dying. I remember noticing the difference when I was 30 lbs lighter. I want that again.
My restart scale number today was a whopping 279.4. I feel very gross about that. But it will change.

Back to Reality
Just got back from VEGAS and it was a lot of fun! Had a great time with my mom but now it's back to the grind. I know I probably should've waited til tomorrow to weigh, but I did it today. Basically my all time high. Higher than I started my diet bet. I'm hopeful that with water today a lot will just fall off fast, but we'll see.
Pretty disappointed in myself lately. I get into those funks and just say screw it - I'm here - might as well not care. Like when I had to buy a bigger size in the pants I bought from Target. 2 sizes bigger. Sure, women's sizes suck and yes, you can wear a 10 in one style/brand/design and a 14 in another (shocker, those aren't MY sizes....I'd probably kill for those sizes....yep, I think I would....) but it still sucked majorly.
Tomorrow I have to weigh in for my diet bet. No way in hell will I make that (would need to lose 14 lbs overnight...) If I'm lucky I'll be down to at least what I started this round at. As of today, for round 2 I need to lose 23 lbs. in a month. Gonna be hard as hell, but I need to do it. I need to do it for me. I'm tired of feeling like this. I want to see pics of myself and not be grossed out. I want to be the girl my hubby married. :) He deserves that and so do I!!
Anywhooo - just a quick update for anyone reading...
