• Day 6: June 12, 2011


I was so proud of myself when I woke up. I had really survived my first party and I didn’t even cheat! I wanted to see how much progress I had made, so I quickly stripped down and headed to the scale……NOTHING! I was so heartbroken. Over the past couple of days, I had posted significant numbers. Trying not to feel defeated, I began to research why this had happened. I recapped the day in my head, run through my meals with my roommate no cheats took place, so why after what felt like the hardest night of my life did I not drop any weight?

After doing a little research I presumed that the fat being used up was being replaced my water. Although I had drunk plenty of fluids the previous day, my urine output was significantly less than it had been on any other day. Believe it or not, this made me feel better – had I not found anything, I might have taken down the pan of brownies still sitting on the counter from the previous night.

The remainder of the day was well and my appetite wasn’t the same as the previous days. I didn’t eat my afternoon snack or my breadstick at dinner. I will say that there is always an underling “hunger” per say that I have, but I don’t feel famished. Should people always feel this way? I don’t know the answer to this…

Chicken Broth Base:

· 400 grams chicken

· 8 cups water

· 2 cups celery (needed to find a use for it after all)

· Salt/Pepper/Cajun Seasoning/Onion Salt/Garlic Salt

Boil on High for about 30 minutes. In an ice tray separate out base for future use =)
