After 32 weeks we are starting the "maintenance phase" of the program. So we are suppose to join the first group and spend the next 30 weeks with them and then we will be merged with another group as group one completes the program.
So we have a year left. I will be interested to see how the first group is doing now that they have been on this phase for 20 weeks. Are they keeping it off? Are they coming more often? Will I continue to lose weight? Who knows.
Some observations during my dinner at restaurants. I found that I was not hungering for food as much as I thought I would. The choices were easier then I thought, and the first meal out, the portion sizes were perfect. I did not want to go "off" the diet, I was just trying to eat what I thought would be acceptable. The food the first day was very rich, so I assume very caloric, but again, the portions were small enough that it was an acceptable risk.
The second night out was a hamburger, and though I did not doctor it up, the meat was a bit greasy, so I have a feeling it wasn't a lean piece of meat. But still I exercised restraint, and I feel good about the weekend. So tonight I do Indian, then next week Chinese and then just TFD until Little T comes to visit. Yea!!!

Boy, I didn't know you had a graduation until T2 mentioned it & I now say the "Certificate of Accomplishment".
ReplyDeleteIf I'd known, I'd have had a banner out festooned with doggie treats.
TSH did do a good "mother's day", so maybe I have some prepaid "T3 Appreciation Credit Carryovers" (but I doubt it - T3 is pretty much a "here & now" gal)
Love & Congratulations
