I didn't think I'd be able to eat anything else, but here I am eight hours later have a quesadella, at least it's a low carb tortilla, havarti cheese with lof ham and a glass of tea.

Wednesday's Food DD
 

Sigh! I think I should be marking weight at the mid-month point as that seems to be my lightest weight. This month I was down five pounds. Reviewed my menus and can't see where the difference lies...no major differences but weight is up and down...mostly up. Sigh! If the scales are down one pound tomorrow I'll be surprised...four months with no weight loss. There is some change in the way the pants fit, tho' and as they say on the JUDDD forum, "the pants don't lie."

coffee/black and one with hood's, hb egg about nine a.m. before I took puppy to the groomers...my goodness, what a difference as he's no longer a fur ball. Groomer said he was a pain, but this was first time.

some raw veggies, celery with a bit of cottage cheese, radish, turnip, and cauliflower

Italian meatball HC soup with a bit of added chicken sausage...cleaning out the fridge.

385 kcals

Mary, sometimes our bodies just take a break from weight loss, but will start again later. Just ride out the stall and keep on keeping on.
