After some pretty quick weight loss in Weeks 1 and 2, the weight loss in Week 3 has been insignificant. (It's hard to tell on my scale, which is not very precise - I really need to buy a digital one so I can see small changes. Anything less than 2 or 3 pounds is hard to see, which is unfortunate because even losing a pound in a week is an accomplishment.) I know I'm still on track though, because my pants are a bit loose. I keep reminding myself that it took me a long time to put on this weight, it's not all going to come off in a couple of weeks.
I need to be totally honest with myself and admit that I am not exercising enough - and it's time to change that. My cycling and walking are winding down as it gets too cold, so - I am getting a gym membership at work. I'm not really a gym person but the keys to going for me are convenience and scheduling it in. It is convenient, so I just have to make a schedule and accept no excuses from myself. I think I should also pick a weekend day and go swim laps once a week - the pool is about a twenty minute walk from my house, or less than a 10 minute bike ride, so I should be using that resource.
It's very much time for Phase 2 - which of course, is not just about adding some foods in but also taking natural anti-fungal supplements to ATTACK any remaining yeast. Phase 2 starts tomorrow - I'm looking forward to working apples, berries, grapefruit, sweet corn, peas, carrots, and beets back into my diet while all those foods are still in season. I'm still going to avoid potatoes for awhile as I'm not craving them yet and they're not the best food to be eating if you want to lose weight.
So - wish me luck in Phase 2!
