I woke up today to find my waking temp had spiked to 97.4. This is not normal for my pre-ovulatory portion of my cycle. I take this to mean my metabolism was working spot on yesterday.
I stepped on the scale to find no change from yesterday. It still says 283.5 from 287.5 the day before. I've weighed consistantly at 287.5 when I weigh in at 279 on the GNC scale, which is my "official" weight of record. In other words, I won't get completely excited until I see the numbers on the GNC scale go down.
Today was another protein only day. I managed 1500 calories today and was a lot less hungry. Although I did have a low blood sugar episode earlier today. A spoonful of peanut butter saved the day.
Exercise went out the window today. I need to get back on track with that tomorrow or else.

I am not extremely overweight, about 170, but my normal was always about 125 untill a few years ago. I was trying really hard and couldn't lose the pounds, so i tested for thyroid problems, and sure enough! So, now I take meds for that! I am also taking some Green Tea pills for energy, and Carb Blockers only when I eat a lot of carbs. So, I am hoping that will help!!! I am so glad you are doing this journal! Keep up the hard work!!!!!

I started the Lindora Plan on October 4th and today was my first day to add carbs. I wasn't really sure about the whole "sweet spot" thing so I was looking online and found your entries. It's so nice to know someone else on this and starting it at the same time!
Is "it" anything I want that stays within the 50-100g carb limit? Or is it something that is lower in fat, higher in protein, and/or "good" for you? I know that the latter would certainly be a better method of eating those 50 carbs, but heck sometimes you just want chocolate, or a great piece of bread. I read about the plan in the First magazine and it made sense.
I lost about 40 pounds with TrimSpa but gained 15 back being home with my son these last few months (too much leisure eating). I started at 216 down to 174 and now weigh 186. I need to lose another 50-60 lbs. - I'm only 5'2". But I am happy with each pound anyway. I lost 6 pounds on Lindora the first 2 days and gained a pound today (could be that Aunt Flo came to visit, have to see in a few more days). And I didn't feel well enough to work out. boo hoo
For exercise I use tapes and weights. I am doing The Firm right now and they are leg killers! I also use Kathy Smith, Tae Bo, and Karen Voight when I need a change. I am doing 3 days a week, an hour each time but need to get up to 5 days a week, ugh. My problem has always been consistency. Something interrupts the schedule and I am off it with not much hope of getting back on. I hope to do better this time.
If I can stick with this program, I am going to buy the book (Phase One) http://www.aaabooksearch.com/Price/1580000886 Not sure I need the whole $50.00 set. Some of their food items sound interesting, though.
Good luck to you! You've done great so far, the pics are super! I look forward to working and reading along
