Day 44

The scale is, unhappily, stuck. Well, perhaps it moves as fast as molasses in January.
Yesterday the scale was up 138.6. Yikes!
So I really strictly adhered to my diet yesterday, had my galette, drank lots of water and ate only strict diet approved foods. No chicken wings, no Frank's. Today I got on the scale and it read 137.6
Hopefully this minimal movement is part of PMS and after my cycle, the scale will reflect a lower number. This happened last month also, and was stuck at 146 for quite some time.
For breakfast this morning I had two eggs, over easy, one, 100g  fat and sugar free yogurt, and a delicious Sugar-free English toffee skinny latte.

If the scale is an unreliable way to judge the weight-loss, at least I always have my little skirt. My little skirt is the garment I chose to gauge the true effectiveness of the diet by how it fits. This fit before I gained weight (a little tight even) it did not fit for all of this past year, and now it fits! more comfortable then before even.
Today is a protein day, and I must eat again soon, I work at noon, not eating between breakfast (at 8:30) and four (when I will likely be done work) would be detrimental to my diet. You cannot skip meals!

One final note, I had a transgression. A real one, not an imagined one, I ate some almonds. I thought I could have a very little bit, and I ate them. Then, because I was concerned, I double checked my book. I can't have them... I cheated!! It's terrible! Hopefully my work will cancel out any effects it might have on my diet. Plus, I already went for a walk this morning... I must lose this weight! I already and feeling anxious, as though I am behind my schedule, I should technically be done by October 5th ( I think?), that's roughly 80 days from the start of the diet, so three months means approx: 10 pounds per month. August is almost over and I am in the high 130's...Am I a few pounds behind? I can't lose 17 pounds in September...
I should remember though, it's only 8 pounds per month, or two pounds per week. It's okay if I am not right on target, at least I am still going down. That's all that matters, even if it takes two weeks, or a month longer. I can do this, I will do this.

p.s.
It is most satisfying to see men giving you the double take.
