111.8
Why am I so attached to the scale? Didn’t I just rant about this yesterday.
I suppose because it’s an easy way to measure “success”.
This blog…who reads it anyway. It’s mostly for me to chart my journey.

The one thing i can say about this Yoli diet is that I LOVE the YES shakes. I’m down to my last packet. It’s like a drug. I called my sponsor to buy some off her until I receive my next shipment. She doesn’t have any extra. I’ll ask her again today because even if it’s just a few…gotta have them.

Why do I like the Yoli Shakes so much? Well, the taste is fine, but it’s really the way it makes me feel. Healthy, strong, good.

That’s what it’s all about baby!

So they tell me, can’t trust the weight scale. I stepped on the darn thing this am and it said 114.2

WHAT?? That’s a weight gain of 4 lbs in 24 hours? Yesterday was a meal day – I ate veggies…okay, a potatoe in the am w/ eggs, asparagus w/ dinner…awesome shrimp scampi that my friend made me for dinner – along with the best homemade meatballs I’ve ever had…and a glass of red wine.

Okay, I’ve had a few cocktails this past week, and red wine last night…so those things are cheating – but that should not trigger a 4 lbs weight gain…so what gives?

Um…I just went over to the scale again, and guess what…111.8

WHAT?? This just goes to prove my point. Those darn scales just can’t
be trusted. I’ll go to the gym and use their scale. I’ve been told
gym scales tend to be more accurate. The most accurate is supposed to be the kind that are found in doctor’s offices.

Better yet, I”m not going to be placing too much weight (pun intended) on the darn scale. I FEEL lighter. I FEEL better, healthier, stronger. And that’s what important, right? And the clothes fit better. That’s the real test.

Okay, off to make some scrambled eggs! It’s a protein day!

That’s not bad. 4 lbs in 4 days. Especially for my size – I don’t have that much to lose / burn off.
It’s Day 5, meal day. I get to eat veggies and fruit along w/ protein.

I’m feeling good.

What a successful first day…until that darned networking event at the Trocodero on Sunset…free drinks. I haven’t had a gin & tonic in a little while and it’s my standard cocktail…is a gin & tonic considered a cocktail? Anyway,
I had two. I consider that a very minor cheat on this better body system.
The scale today says 112.2
That’s two pounds already.
I’m not putting much stock in that though, as the previous few days I was
eating whatever I damned well pleased. Which for me is not a heck of a lot anyway, but for me, a pizza is a SPLURG and I splurged.
And I eliminated.
Ahhhhh!
So today is day 2, and it’s again a protein only day.  I woke up and had my Passion drink, and about 40 min. later had my YES shake – which I really enjoy and look forward to.  About an hour later I had a turkey burger and an egg.  I need to buy more eggs.

I’m doing easy Yoga stretching for exercise.  With this BBS, it is NOT required that participants go to the gym, workout and sweat.  In fact, it is recommended that you DON’T work out!!  You heard me right, take a break!

Better yet, for those who feel repulsed by gyms, who hate working out, who loath exercise…this is THE BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE fat burning/weight removal program in existence today!

My first round on the BBS, I lost 9 lbs in 16 days and I worked out ONCE – 20 minutes on the cardio machine and I took it easy too.  So even though I like working out, I did not go to the gym except to weigh myself.  It felt odd, but it worked!

So now, I’m just doing light stretching.  Yoga helps with breathing and circulation flow, keeping the energy of our bodies flowing, etc.  So it’s a really healthful way to assist the BBS function without putting too much stress on the body while it’s working to become a fat burning machine.

More tomorrow…
