Labor day weekend, I blogged about about the power of zero. On that occasion the "zero" in question was 240.0, my weight. I've not gone back up to that point, but I have hit a slight plateau in the weight loss, bouncing back and forth between 236 and 238 pounds. The 40 I want to talk about today is a different, but related milestone.
We went shopping after lunch. For the first time since about 1997, I purchased two pairs of pants with 40 inch waist. For comparison, the jeans I bought last January were a 48 inch waist. I didn't buy any shirts or jackets today, but discovered I am now able to get into a size 46 regular suit coat. (That's down from a size 52)
However, we've decided we're tired of being stuck at the weight where we are . . . so starting tomorrow morning, we're moving back to Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. This is the most restrictive phase of the diet, being very lowfat, and totally eliminating carbs. We'll stay on this phase for two weeks, and see how it goes. Last time we did this I lost about 12 pounds in those two weeks.
