In the Groove

(Guess I could stop adding that since I'm the only one who posts anyway...)

Well, after a few hiccups over the weekend (BW3 on Friday night, Chinese buffet on Sunday), Derek and I are both on track and doing well.  We strategized over dinner on Sunday, and Derek committed to at least seven days with me, at which point we'll reevaluate and see if we need to change anything about the fast (e.g. juicing breakfast and lunch but eating a healthy dinner, or eating raw fruits and veggies along with juicing, or...).  I've also been sending him with a second juice each day, so he has that in hand after school and can avoid the drive-thrus on his way home.  I have to admit, it's getting easier just because I'm getting in the habit of not eating, but even more so because I know I have a partner in this journey.  Thanks, hon, for hanging in there with me!

After the weekend, I didn't lose any weight for a couple of days, which makes sense.  Yesterday, I finally went down a pound, and today I was down another 2.5, bringing my grand total to -12.  Woo-hoo!  My clothes are feeling a little loose, and I just feel good; excited to see how much more progress I can make over the next 2.5 weeks. :-)

However...  This weekend we're celebrating our third anniversary at a bed and breakfast near Hocking Hills, where we got married.  I have very mixed feelings about the trip because on the one hand, I'm doing great with the fast and don't want to mess it up or slow down my progress, but on the other hand, they have really yummy breakfasts there (which are already paid for in our room fees) and it's always been fun for us to go out to eat in the area.  Not exactly sure how to play this one...  We'll see.  Regardless, it'll be AWESOME to get away for a few days with my honey!
