6 Months Later

You thought I forgot about this, didn't you?  I'm still here!  And here we are, more than 6 months later.  I have cut back on the maintenance things, since there has been quite a bit of travel and such lately.  Generally I'm getting in a tea day about once every 2 to 3 weeks and a milk day about as frequently (in fact, today I am doing a milk day - I got inspired this morning to make a lassi for the day).  However, I am pleased to say that despite all the traveling I've been doing (including having some fast food - gasp), and despite the holidays and the parties entailed by such, I have thus far managed to maintain the weight loss!  Maintain, mind you - not lose any more, which is fine.  I have about a 5-pound "bounce" that I allow myself to have as an acceptable gain/loss range.  I think you need to have something like that so you don't drive yourself nuts if one week you find yourself up a few pounds.  It's going to happen, just be extra good the next week, have some extra water, and watch it fall off again.

I have also been getting to the gym on a semi-regular basis - at least once a week, but often twice.  Have not yet been able to get myself there three times a week, since something always seems to come up.  But I am not going to make some silly resolution to make it happen.  That's just asking for trouble.

Come mid-February or so, I think I am going to get back on the program for a single cycle (44 days - 3 10-days and the 14-day maintenance) to see about dropping those final 10 pounds or so and to get another round of detox in.  I was looking today through the recipes I'd posted in here, and realized I had forgotten how much I enjoyed coming up with those crazy things, and how good they were.  Especially that Ratatouille - I'm going to need to make that again soon!

Cheers to the New Year!

  1. Hi - I just found your blog because I'm going in tomorrow for my first consultation. It's nice to see you've maintained the weight loss for 6 months! I am worried that I will gain it all plus more back once I move to the maintenance part. That's where I always fall off. I keep saying I'm doing this more to detox than to lose weight but let me be honest with you - I'm 5'8" and weigh 184. I'm most comfortable around 150 and then am a size 6 US. I really hope you keep updating occasionally - I know it's a lot of work. But I love reading your experience and seeing your recipes.

    Keep up the good work!

  3. Hi
    Today is day 2 for me and I am having a really hard time. After reading your blog, I realize that the food we are "allotted" can be fun!
    I didn't have any green tea or honey yet so I am going to try that - I have to be honest I cheated on my first and second day. I don't know how I'm going to get through this! I hope it works!

    xoxo
