confession: I cheated for the first time last night... we went out with the grandparents and I had a margarita and mexican food... I then proceeded to throw it up... pretty much undigested. I'm sure a result of alcohol slowing down digestion and the decrease in stomach acid resulting from my diet.... my body totally doesn't know what to do with crap any more... I'm only up half a pound... probably because I absorbed so very little. Won't be doing that again...

I am considering going into the maintaince phase for the next 6- 8 weeks and then doing another round simply because my progress has slowed so much lately... I'm thinking it might be a good time to ease back into a regular diet and do the P90X fitness regime. I probably need to work on building some muscle for a bit then go for another round... I'm almost half way to my goal... switching to a workout program that intense is sure to shock my body... then when I go back to the diet I'll be able to combine the two.... that should get me to my goal faster and in better shape...

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good plan to me! Exercising is always a good plan. I was thinking of going on this diet but my lazy self has not read enough to know what the plan is to even start with. But recently, I ate some bad fruit and had a bout of vomiting and stomach pain that it scares to go on such a strict regimen. My best bet right now is exercising alot. Am thinking of doing P90X too. What I really need now, other than good self-discipline, is a good wake-up call person in the morning to help haul my lazy behind out of bed.

Keep up the good job, Pooka! You've done wonderfully so far....40lbs...wow!
