Oh man. I'm awful at updating this set.
I've continued on my diet, dutifully following the meal plan and taking photos - I just haven't bothered posting them or writing anything in a month. Argh!
The good news is that to date, I've lost 20.5 pounds and gone down a full pants size and two skirts sizes (hooray!). I was able to fit into a lot of my old clothes (from before I gained weight) and am finally starting to recognize that progress is being made, however slowly.
I've got quite a backlog of photos and thoughts and there are plenty of days I just plain don't remember... so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this blog.
I hope those of you who used to read this site are doing well and keeping up with your diet and exercise regimes, and I'll try to post more regularly from this point forward!

Day One Hundred Fifty Seven
First Meal
When I first cooked this chicken, I was really down on it because I'd overcooked some of the ingredients and others just tasted awful. Reheating didn't do it many favors, but it was slightly more tolerable this time around, if only because it was a smaller portion than the first. The green beans improved immensely with some time to marinate in the vinegar, garlic & oil, but they were the only shining moment in an otherwise pretty dreadful meal.
I can't really even explain why I didn't like this so much, but I've been putting off eating it for days and was just as displeased as I thought I'd be when I finally got around to it. Incidentally, I didn't eat at all today until late evening, adding extreme hunger to my dissatisfaction.
Second Meal
This used to be my favorite meal, but the soy nuts got annoying to eat. Furthermore, the grapes had seeds in them, making it more of a dissection process than an enjoyable meal. Still love waffles and chocolate soy milk though!
I didn't bother with a third meal or snack, seeing as I'd loathed my first two so much. I'm also on a really wonky sleep schedule, and since I had zero physical activity, I don't feel so bad skipping.
I'm sure part of my messed-up sleep is to do with eating meals at such irregular times. Somehow my avoidance of cooking is making me put things off way past a reasonable time-frame, and then I am only beginning to get my energy going at the end of the day. I have to work on this.
- leftover Argentinian stuffed chicken (with egg, yellow pepper, raisins, prunes, oregano)
- balsamic & garlic green beans
- brown rice
- nectarine
