Ok 6 lbs is a little over my actual loss but hey I'm rounding down!  I was so glad to see that 160 disappear this morning.  I had not seen any progress in about 5 days so it was good to see a little movement!  Albeit a little movement, but still that's progress in the right direction.

Hubby said yesterday, he thought this was going to be hard to stick to for our last 4-5 lbs.  I have to agree.  What I am really getting sick of is eggs and meat.  Actually the thought of eggs with pico de gallo in it or anything other than meat is ok.  But it's just meat, specifically at breakfast time and dinner time, that is completely unappetizing.  I don't really dread lunch because I've found this really good rotisserie chicken place that has good veggie sides too.  However when I get home on those protein days, it's very hard to get excited about cooking and eating just meat.  I know I could add some eggs or nonfat milk products but I'm sick of those for dinner, too. 

I'm not really that much more excited about adding vegetables every other day, either.  But on the other hand, I'm not having horrible cravings for carbs (I never really had that bad of cravings though).  What I am experiencing is a complete disinterest in eating food in general.  Like I sometimes feel like I'd rather just skip eating but I know that the hunger will make it worse.  But the thought of meats is really unappetizing.  But I can't really think of other foods that I'd really like to have, either! 

One other thing that I rarely think about anymore is drinking wine.  I really liked my wine here and there...but I don't think about it much anymore.  This weekend I"m meeting up with some old friends and I know we'll have some wine...but I'm really thinking about taking it easy.  It doesn't seem like an exciting thought to relax with wine.  I think I could do it without.  Now when the bottle opens and I have a glass in my hand, this may all be a different story...we'll see. 

speaking of my weekend, I have not yet told my two buddies about doing this diet.  They too will be attending the reunion in June.  I am afraid they will be totally annoyed by my food restrictions.

I am also dreading having to be a downer when we're eating together.  I HATE people that are very picky with their food and I will be one of those people.  "Sorry I can't have this, sorry I can't have that...can you cook that without butter?"  etc etc.  I know that's going to be annoying.  I thought about bringing my own cooler with fat free stuff, would that be tacky?  But I don't want to say anything until I get there because I don't want my friend to feel like she has to buy special stuff for me.  Plus we'll have all the kids with us so that's going to complicate things...like what if they want to order pizza for everyone?  I think I'm gonna have to bring the cooler and be obnoxious, but only for 1 weekend of my life right?
