No Joke - It is getting tougher
I've had a rough go of it since last Thursday evening. I noticed my appetite returning. Fortunately, I'm stubborn, and managed to get in my running! 
Friday, I ate well, ran well, and had appropriate snacks to take with me to a poker party. I was surprised to be up a pound the next morning, but figured it was due to too much celery still in my system (if ya know what I mean). It didn't blow me away.
I went for my "long" run (4 mile trail run.. OMG that was tough). Saturday evening I was HUNGRY! So, I ate. I had good proteins, lots of veggies, plain 1/3 baked potato, and a little "bad" thing (breadstick with butter).
Sunday, up another 1.5 pounds! (Okay, don't panic....)
Since I had a party to go to with lots of sweets offered (my grandmother's 90th birthday party), I preplanned my food at the restaurant (ate small portion and packed up the rest) and allowed myself some cake (didn't eat all the cakes....).
Monday, back down to 200. Ran 2 miles (went well).
Tuesday 199.
Today 199.5.
I was hoping to have the weight come flying off. But I guess I'll have to work at it like everyone else. 
I'd like to get a 3 miler in today (on my schedule), but I think I may wait until tomorrow (when I'm not so rushed after work). Tomorrow is supposed to be nice out, too.
