Well, I finally finished the 5 Day Pouch Test. I think that days 3 and 4 were the hardest. Oh hell, they all sucked. Detoxing off of sugar is the worst, but it was a necessary evil. I was not completely on task all days. I did eat some almonds and pistachios on day 3 and 4. I was just craving chocolate so badly I figured that if I was going to cheat, I should go for protein. All in all, I do find that my cravings for chocolate have subsided significantly. I am also feeling more in touch with my band. I am eating more slowly and thoughtfully. It is hard to tell if my band feels "tighter" but I am feeling more of a sensation of fullness after eating a small amount of food. I do not think though that I am at my sweet spot yet. I have an appointment in mid-April for a fill and I think I will be ready then. Until then, I am committed to eating mindfully and slowly.
I just updated my ticker for this first time since mid-January. Sadly, I have only lost .2 (that is point 2) pounds since then. Even the 5 Day Pouch test does not seem to have cured my plateau. However, I am feeling hopeful that this will jump start my efforts. I am bound and determined to lose 40 lbs before my girl's trip to Brazil in October.
I am also really looking forward to BOOBs in Chicago.

.2 is .2 and it is still a loss! That ticker will start moving again. Good job getting through the pouch test!
Just think of how healthy your life patterns have become and how this will impact you in the years to come...I think that is awesome!
