I have hit a plateau in what seems like a VERY long time.  The amazing thing is I have NOT gained, and this is with some summer cheating with the kids for icecream and almost daily runs to starbucks. Good thing I constantly hit the gym!

Well my Summer fun is over.  I met my goal I set for myself.  Now that I am here I realize I can actually be the weight I was 10 years ago before I had two kids.  Here I am 10 lbs under what I was with my first pregnancy. I lost all baby weight from both pregnancies and the weight I put on through hypothyroidism.

So I am pushing on for 10 more lbs.  I want to be UNDER 130 lbs.  I am quite close!  So as I was browsing at Borders a book caught my eye called the 17 Day Diet, so on impulse I bought it. Without even looking through it.

I am so glad I got it!  It's very simliar to the plan I was on losing the baby weight.  I had done a plan through my old gym called Thin and Healthy. Same idea, retrain your metabolism. What I like about the books version is anyone can do anything for 17 days!  What is also different is the book says take two probiotics a day and drink green tea.

I discovered I like green tea and I like how it makes me feel a little fuller too.  I also like the no carbs after two rule.  I have completed 7 days of this plan, and have 10 days to go.  I am down 3.5 lbs!!
