• Argh! Can you believe it – one more day to reach my 178 (100 lbs) Q! Goal – I really feel like it’s gonna happen any day!
• I’m totally PMS which explains some of the non-weight loss right now
• Leave for 5 days away (Charleston with my sisters) so I had hoped to be down before now
• Maybe the shake-up from routine will be what I need to break the plateau – at this point I’ll try anything. 😉

Notes:

• 2nd – started P (v. light tho and does seem early – argh)
• Wk 3 of the calorie cycling experiment
• Did a few unplanned outings over the weekend which resulted in Burger King (BK Big Fish meal) and lunch out with J (sandwich amd home-made fries – yummy!  AND I did have my planned pizza/wings on Sunday night.
• Pretty sure that the gain I’m seeing has more to do with sodium and the eating out as well as PMS – planning a "good" week to get back down again.
