Down, and oh I lost 6 more lbs

Kelis is my "weight-loss model." I dont know how much the bossy lady weighs. But she is tall about 5'10" and I like her style. So I thought she'd be my to-goal inspiration.

It is not Monday (my weigh-in day), but I just felt like weighing. I over ate yesterday and the last couple of days I had a smidgen of cheese (dairy is not part of the diet at all) and I also had more than my fair share of basil and tomatos (veggies not part of the K/E way). So I thought I'd weigh in to see the damage. I've been drinking maybe 6 glasses of water instead of the required 8. And I have been peeing like 12 glasses of water every dang night. Not cool. Anyway, this Sunday morning after sleeping 17 hours, I thought I'd see the results of my meat and eggbeaters diet--6lbs down. Not too bad. I'm not sure if I will stick to the K/E (lean protein only) diet or go back to KimKin diet which allows you to eat veggies. I may do a mix as I really like eggs and meat just makes me happy. But I need spinach and tomatos in my omelete. Some color please. I also want to start exercising. Can I jump rope in my apartment?

I'm not sure if the weight loss is going to slow down considerably. But so far so good. I'd love to lose 23lbs by the first of September. So far I have lost 13 lbs. To be at 180 by Labor Day would be cool. I'll just keep trying.

August has been tough as I have not gotten many orders and I'm not sure how to pay payroll, my car note, my small business loan, rent, etc. So that is why I am "down." Also my kitchen situation is shaky too. Not sure how long the restaurant will be open and how long I will be allowed to be there. In prayer with high hopes.

On another note, I have returned to lowcarbfriends.com. It is a free website with as much, if not more info, than the KimKins website. It is free compared to the $60 signup fee at KimKins. I am disappointed at the lack of participation by the authors of the site. If I had people paying that money, I'd offer some editorials, more success stories, meal advice, exercise reviews....something. Instead it is just a board of people wondering how to do the diet and giving each other advice. These are the same people who paid to get on the site, not the experts who have our $60. I'm not into the whole "who is Kimmer" debate or trashing the diet at all. But I do think it is dubious to have folks paying $60 for info that Kimmer offers on lowcarbfriends.com for free. I was duped. Oh well. Wasn't the first time.
