okay so i was getting a little discouraged the other day as i have been weighing myself everyday..(i know, i shouldn't be doing that but i can't resist the urge)...anyways...i weighed myself today and i am down 1.5 lbs...that makes my total weight loss so far 8.5 lbs in 12 days...not too bad....i did get the ketone strips today and gotta a little upset because i was only in the trace category...but not going to let that get me down as i am still losing weight.....eating me some steak and grilled shrimp and salad for supper tonight...can't wait....it is going to be yummy....well...until next time.....
