R 1 Day 22

This is really exasperating! I gained 0.5 lbs this morning. I am wondering if I should just hang on for the required 26 days and then go into maintenance phase, wait my time and do another round. Really? A mere 16 pounds? That's all? I guess by body is too stubborn to let go of anything. ARGH!

Later tonight...
I have given up hope. I think I am sabotaging myself but I can't seem to figure out how. There are no losses of inches and lately, no pounds either. So much for pounds and inches. I'll keep going just to finish what I started but I am not going to get my hopes up. So much for losing 30 pounds in 30 days. That would have been awesome but alas, I'll be lucky to even lose 20.

Breakfast was a giant apple. I didn't have problems getting it down this morning. No gagging to speak of. For lunch I had a chicken salad, no second fruit today. I got busy and then I figured my morning apple was big enough for 2 meals. Dinner was beef and a cucumber salad. I had trouble choking that down tonight. I don't know if it was too much ACV or if it was too much food. Regardless, it was difficult. Both lunch and dinner were cooked on the GF grill in the hopes that any fat left would be drained away. Not surprisingly, the beef produced a good amount of fluid. I don't know what kind yet. I'm going to bed even later than usual so I'm sure that won't help my numbers and I only got in about 70 oz of water today. So...sounds like today sucked! I'll be sure about tomorrow.
