Day 10

As of today I have lost 8.5 lbs and 10.9 inches overall. Yesterday and the day before I had a little set back where I gained 1 lb each day. It was miserable, but now I'm back on track and I'm half a pound less than where I was before I gained those 2 dreaded pounds. I don't know how I could have possibly gained weight doing this diet, every single thing that I do can only possibly make me lose weight.
I worked a graveyard shift on Friday night and was very hungry during the night, but I had already eaten my allotment of food for the day. I decided a handful of strawberries would be okay to eat and I would just take them out of my next day of food allotment. Well, when I got home from my graveyard shift, went to bed and woke up four hours later to weigh myself I had gained a stupid pound. I don't think the strawberries could have messed with the program that much, so I think it had to do more with my sleeping hours being so messed up for the day.
Sunday morning before I got ready for church I weighed myself as usual, because I like to weigh myself at the same time every day before I get dressed. Much to my dismay I had gained another pound! I took the liberty of checking online for what to do in this situation and it said for me to have an apple day.
Apple day = 6 apples and as much water as I want for the entire day. Nothing else... just 6 apples. I've got to tell you, by the 4th apple I couldn't look at another apple let alone eat it. It was not because the apples filled me up, it was because I am not a fan of apples to begin with, and I would rather starve than eat another stupid apple!
Anyway, when I woke up this morning and weighed myself I had dropped those 2 extra and half more of a pound. Thank you apple day! I will probably utilize another apple day in this 30 day adventure.
I don't feel like I look different, but I take my measurements every day and put them on an excel chart, so I know it is working. Plus I can already fit into my jeans that have been folded in my closet forever because I haven't been able to fit in them for a few years.
