TRANSITION : Week 8 – Day 1

Balance, balance – the center, the equilibrium.

The new crown is settling in but still needed adjustment as I was still more in pains then not, still could not eat properly and drinking any diet coke over the milk days was impossible. Got an adjustment yesterday and I think this might now finally be it for that.

During the week my weight was continuing to climb. The 2 milk days brought me again down to almost where I was last week. But I am not fooled, my body weight has not yet reset. The body fat percentage has climbed 2.5% over the past few weeks. I am still not able not to fall into bingeing at times – Halloween and too much left over candies any one?

For this reason I announced to my Accu Diet counselor this morning on the phone that I intend of going back 2 steps and onto veggies and protein mainly and that I want to do that for 2 weeks and to get the weight settled around my end goal weight without having to have milk days in between. This did not fall onto happy ears, cutting back and having just veggies and protein yes, but not that I want to make it without any milk days.

The counselor even stated that 2 milk days are needed for the chemical balance and to flush the body of wastes from the former 5 days and that 1 milk day is not enough for that. This actually confused me, because I was told earlier, that once you are through transition you only do one or two milk days if you have gained during the week. But maybe this “has to be 2 days” approach is what you need and do during Transition?

I definitely want to get my weight truly locked in before Thanksgiving, actually even before the 22nd as then my dad will come visiting and by then I do not want to have myself on a too restrictive diet any longer but rather be in Maintenance mode.

Day THIRTY-TWO

Little progress on weight loss but again a small jump in body fat reduction – which is actually the main thing I am interested in on this last stretch. Found the measurements I had when I used to model back in Paris – yes, long ago and in another life – those numbers have definitely changed, with bust being a tad smaller and hips a tad bigger then at the time. Gravity took it’s toll over the past 28 years.

Day TWENTY-SIX

I am ready to be done. Guess what. I am not going to give in until I am fully satisfied. Period.

It’s a drizzly day outside. Having an introversion headache since yesterday. Tried changing it, it’s better but still there. Today I’m trying to get a veterinarian appointment to have a checkup on Xena. Knowing that then I’ll have to talk about Tricky’s death makes me feel all the grief and loss again. Not looking forward to it.

My weight is continuing on the promised curve. And the body fat has settled on the lower range. So far for 25 days I have not once cheated. On the email list they wish each other “a perfect day”, meaning “no BLT” (no bite, like or taste of anything outside the strict protocol). So far this was not a problem for me. Why pay and go through all the hassle of this program and then cheat and severe the chemical constellation which is the reason of such great fat and not muscle loss?

Day TWENTY-FOUR

Had a hard time getting up. But managed to get me and myself not only onto the treadmill but also starting with the weight program. After all of this I am feeling quite good.

Weight is dropping on a very constant rate of about 1/2 pound a day. Drinking a lot.

Had a win this morning, seeing my body fat finally drop, it’s now close to 30%.

Day TWENTY-ONE

Weight is dropping, body fat has remained. At this point I think that I will need 2 sets of beads to finish. I also realize that my former 130 pounds ideal weight was including muscles and that my ‘now’ 130 pounds will not have this but more fat instead. Which makes me think that I definitely will need to go a bit past the 130 and also that I will instantly need to work on building muscles again.
