scrapnmom, that's to be expected as you eat again. You're still down 5 pounds. Your eating plan for the day sounds good. I'd need more protein for me, but we are all different.
The lemon water with ginger worked. I'm down two pounds, so I'm back where I was on the first. Now to drop my monthly two before the 31th. I need to find the cayenne (hard to drink so I didn't look too hard) and buy a cucumber. Mint I can get in my garden. I think my neighbor's is higher than mine - more sun. Time to pay a visit.
