Back on the weight-loss wagon

Not that I fell off, mind you. After Round 1 on the Omni Drops, I finished my full 3 weeks of maintenance- and maintained perfectly, I might add- then started loading May 12 for Round 2. It was a great weekend. For Mother's Day, my sister and I took our mom to the movies, where I ate popcorn drowned in butter, whoppers, peanut butter m&m's, nachos, twizzler bites, and a giant cherry vanilla coke. Then we went out to dinner. Loaded chips (covered in bacon, green onions, and like 3 kinds of cheese), fries, a turkey blt, and something called a Perfect 10 that had Peach Schnapps and I don't remember what else. I had planned on having dessert, but I couldn't even finish all of my sandwich because I was too full. After dinner, we spent the night at a hotel (ahhhh, a night without yelling "Turn out that light and GO. TO. BED!!!" twenty times). I was surprised that I didn't enjoy the breakfast buffet as much as I thought I would the next morning. By that point, my body was sick of loading and ready for healthy food again. I still managed to eat cereal, oatmeal, toast, a waffle, a blueberry muffin, and a lot of bacon. Plus coffee. After we checked out and did some shopping, it was time to rejoin my family and head home, including a stop at Dairy Queen along the way. Finished off the day with chili dogs and chili cheese fries. My body was sooooo not happy with me! Monday morning, it was so nice to have my strawberries and Wasa cracker for breakfast! My tummy and taste buds were highly pleased. It feels so good to be eating fresh, healthy food again. One surprise, though, is that even though I just finished 3 weeks of maintenance followed by 2 days of loading, I'm having a hard time eating enough. I'm just not feeling hungry. I was making dinner last night when I realized that I hadn't had any fruit yet, so I had an apple with dinner and then strawberries later for a snack. Doing better about staying on top of it today, but I think I'll make a chart and check off what I eat to make sure I don't forget something.

The stats so far for Round 2:
Loading Day 1: Weighed in at 171.4
Loading Day 2: Forgot my scale :)
Phase 2, Day 0*: Weighed in at 178.4 for a gain of 7 pounds from loading
Phase 2, Day 1: Weighed in at 176.6 for a loss of 1.8 (still up 5.2 from loading)
Phase 2, Day 2: Weighed in at 175.0 for a loss of 1.6 (still up 3.6 from loading)

Loading weight should be gone by Friday and I expect to say goodbye to the 170s this weekend. (Sorry, 170s, it's not you, it's me. I just don't like you.)
