Weight the same: 203 lbs.  (nothing lost, but nothing gained - so all is well)

I’m sticking to my healthy eating plan no matter what!   This is week 6 of the medically supervised plan I’m following - only 3 lbs lost following it so far and that was in the first 2 weeks, nothing since. (Daily Plan: 5 protein meals in a packet, 1 lean and green meal, 64 oz of water, light exercise) 

Weight loss on this plan is suppose to be steady (average of 3 to 5 lbs a week) because it is designed to put the body into a fat burning state - but I have none of the physical signs that that is happening for me.  I spoke with one of the medical staff for some advice and reasons why it isn’t working for me — they suggested giving it another two weeks and see what happens.   So that is what I will do.

If there is still no change in two weeks, then I will go on to something else - but will continue eating healthy just a different food plan. If I do change it will most likely be back to creating my own food plan as I did before, only this time looking for a non-soy based protein source. That is one theory I have that if I see no results on this diet, it may be because I am not responding well to the soy protein. There could be other factors involved though - such as: my usual lack of sleep due to various circumstances, my overall level of join pain (due to arthritis) which means inflammation, an extremely sluggish metabolism (which could be due to age, hormones, years of yoyo dieting, etc.)

Next weekend, I am starting a 100-day training course for gi gong (dvd set) in preparation for classes I hope to take next spring for gi gong healing certification. It is also a nice tie in to the 100 days before New Year’s (which was Sept. 23rd) by making positive changes now and laying the foundation for success as well as an early kick off for healthy resolutions.

I am keeping focused on health and energy, not the numbers of the scale.
