Things were okay with my husband last night. He's working for two days with another guy. It's good for him to have the company, and he doesn't have to drive! He had a good day yesterday, so he was in a pretty good mood when he came home, but he was exhausted and in bed at 8pm.

I spoke to "Lisa" in the office yesterday and she said I don't have to clear out the cabinets. I was thrilled!!! I'm going to clean out under the sink and let them know about Dottie obsession about getting under the sink. Maybe they can take a look in that hole…

Yesterday I spent 40 minutes on the recumbent bike. I should be doing it so that my legs don't atrophy, and it should help with the weight loss. I have no excuse not to… I wake up very early and have plenty of free time.

I got on the scale this morning and I was so happy… I weighed 155.2lbs! That is 7.4lbs down from when I restarted this diet on Thursday 9/22, and the heaviest I ever weighed before I blew up from the seroquel
But weight fluctuates a little during this stage, and if I get on the scale tomorrow, I may be heavier. I won't get on the scale tomorrow. I want to enjoy this

That is about the same amount of weight I lost in 1 week on South Beach the first time around, but I started 5 lbs lighter this time. I lost nothing week 2 the first time. My target is 140-145lbs. I guess I will do this for a third week, then start stage 2 where I can start adding in more diverse foods in moderation.

To be honest, I ate 1/2 of a small Fuji apple last night. It's not allowed on this stage of the diet, but it's a hell of a lot better than reaching for the pop tarts!
