Day #25 weigh-in: 119.6, down .6 pound from yesterday, which surprised me. I went over the daily goal by more than 250 calories. I did do an hour of weight training, though. Maybe that helped.

Day #21 weigh-in: 119.0, down .8 pound from yesterday. My daughter, Mary, brought over my spring suit (short-sleeved, short-legged wet suit), so after I took a 1/2-hour jog on the beach, I boogie-boarded in the waves to my heart’s content.

Day #20 weigh-in: 120.0, down .8 pound from yesterday and 3.4 pounds from Day #1. Basal temp: 96.34. The surf was too cold for swimming, so I spend the morning reading books in the shade on the beach. Heavenly! Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of […]

Day #15 weigh-in: 120.4, down .2 pound from yesterday. I attended my daughter, Kelly’s, baby shower yesterday and managed to eat only the healthiest treats at the shower. It’s a good thing I was on this 28-day diet, or I’m not sure I would have been able to resist a bite of the chocolate cheese […]
