Last week... 6 days to go.

I'm on the end of my "losing" portion of the diet. I have 6 days left and 8 pounds to lose. (I'm a little skeptical, but I'm positive that taking a break from the diet when I was sick set me back a week or so...) I HAD to buy new jeans yesterday because we have a jean day tomorrow at work and the Junior's size 13's I have are literally hanging off of me. I had hoped to wait a little longer to buy new jeans, but these are a pinch tight around my belly, so I'm betting that after I lose these last 8 pounds, they'll be loose too, and I won't have to worry about it.

It's been really hard being "true" to my diet the last couple of weeks... I'll admit, I've cheated a little. But I only allow myself to cheat one time per day, and depending on the caloric intake, I make up for it by NOT eating either one of the meals or however much less of my lean and green meal.

I'm actually feeling pretty good lately... I still have a rattle in my chest when I breathe, but I'm starting to just get used to that. I think I'm going to go to the gym this evening before Bobby gets off work. I haven't been in forever, and I'm a little curious to see just how out of shape I am.

Here's a stat update:

• Week: 11 of 11
• Countdown: 6 days to go before the goal date
• Current Weight: 146
• Total lost (since April) : 31 pounds
• Total lost with MediFast: 24 pounds
• Jean size: 10
  

We're almost there... then I go into "stabilization." Ugh... I think that will be the hardest part. I'm already pretty sick of veggies.
