Days 9 and 10

Yesterday, day 9, was my birthday and I didn't feel like doing a blog. It also was a tough time to be on a diet as it was a Big Birthday and I was alone most of the day. Susan came down and we celebrated with Passion tea - whoopee!

But I stuck to it, no treats, just the same-o same-o so I wouldn't gain any of the eight pounds back. I'm getting really used to eating like this, and really have no interest in food. Sometimes I even forget to eat - and that is not a good thing. So I need to make sure I get all of my 500 calories.

Today is Day 10, and I only lost .2 pound but I can really feel it in the inches slipping away. When I lie in bed, I can feel my hip bones and ribs jutting out a bit and the tummy seems to fit better :). So I am not too worried about the weight part but am going to skip the tomatoes that I put in a mock chili as I read some people have a problem with them and don't lose anything when they are included.
