It appears that my vacation and being a little lax in my diet was good for my loss.
Prior to and while on vacation, I had been on an 11 - 13 day plateau. It was pretty disheartening.
Prior to leaving, I was very stringent in following my diet. While I was away, I had champagne, caffinated coffee, one Denny's meat lovers skillet including hashbrowns and english muffin, french fries at lunch one day, french fries and mashed potatoes at dinner one day. While away, I had no gains but also no losses.
Within 3 days of returning, I've lost 4 lbs. Now I figure one of two things.
Either my body became accustomed to the 500 - 750 calories I had been giving it. Maybe the increased calories I gave during vacation shocked my body into finally letting go of what it was saving,
Or- it was going to give it up anyway, but needed to adjust from the previous loss in a short amount of time.
I've lost 21 lbs in 38 days.
Any thoughts?
