Weight: 253.6

Normally I’d be disappointed with not losing any weight over a week but I was on vacation and although I stuck with the EVOO regimen I also enjoyed several fine meals out.  I was actually down to 252.3 at one point before the gorging began.

I’ve been taking 2 Tbsp of EVOO before bed.  The SLD effects are back but not as pronounced as I would like.  I’m going to increase to 3 Tbsp per night and see how that goes.  In all this experimenting I’ve never been below 250 so that’s my goal for the next two weeks.

 Also, I had stopped tracking my weigh-ins on a spreadsheet.  I feel like this has gotten me out of touch with my weight so I’m starting that again.

Weight: 253.6

I’m starting to see the Shangri La effect after a few days of being back on the plan.  Today I had a light lunch and was satisified, although not bloated-full.  It’s almost 5 hours later and all I’m only now starting to feel the urge to eat.  It’s good to see I’m losing wieght again too, although that’s more attributable to me making an effort than to any SLD effect.  I’m starting to get back in the mindset of just not needing to eat all the time too.

Weight: 257

OK so it’s been almost a month since my last post.  A few days after that post my weight was down to 252 and I got cocky and figured I had everything under control. I stopped taking the oil, figuring if I could keep eating the same way minus the 400 extra calories, I’d lose weight even faster.  Wrong.  I slowly slid back into all my old habits, started eating fast food lunches and gained back nearly everything I had lost.  Lesson learned.

So, I’m calling a do-over.  I started back on the oil today and I’ll be keeping track of things here at the blog.  Next time I get over confident I’ll make sure I re-read this post.
