Been a long time . . .

Yes, I've been able to eat real food, but after a few days (and with the cottage cheese gone), I was sick of the stuff. I've tried eating real food and have been able to tolerate it well - as long as it's thoroughly chopped and shredded to a very fine consistency. I don't know if this is strictly legal, but I was unable to stomach any more protein powders or shots. It's more the smell than the taste, but the plain fact is that I got nauseous at the thought of downing any of it.

I've tried drinking more water, which seems to help. Plus, I've been getting my exercise, so I hope that's helping. The only bad news is that I haven't lost any more weight in the past week. I've got my fingers crossed that this plateau is only temporary. I'm still taking my vitamins and supplements, so hopefully, it's just a stage.

I can't believe I go back to work next week (the 16th). It's hard to believe it's been a month already. Ah, well. The time off was nice while it lasted!

FALL IS IN THE AIR!
