Another two pounds lighter today. That makes for 4 pounds in total since I began the diet on Monday. It is fun to see it drop like that, but I am braced for when it slows down to a more typical weight loss of 2 to 4 pounds a week. That was the rate it settled down to in the spring.

Today was grocery day, so now I am stocked up on diet friendly foods. Lots of veggies, some tuna, and some diet soda, etc. Last spring the diet sodas gave me some trouble, especially diet Cheerwine soda. I would bloat up in the abdomen on that like I was going to pop. It definitely was not a good match for me. I am going to try a few different brands and sweeteners for a bit to see if I can find one that agrees. If not, then I will go the tap water route with bottled back-up since our city water is not wonderfully consistent - sometimes it is tea to orange colored. Blech!
