p3 day6

Well I had gained 4 -- but am now back down to 216.4 (+.4 from ldw) so I am beginning to stabilize now -- I was not as worried as I was with my first p3 -- because I know eating clean makes it all better -- so that is what I am doing.....

This is Christmas break for us and I am going to eat all p3 acceptable foods and enjoy my Holiday -- I like eating salads so I know by having 1 big one a day really helps me... that is what I will do. I had some grilled steak yesterday and it was YUMMY! I will have the other 1/2 of it today and it will be great too!

I want to get to 214.0 so I can really "relax" for the weekend! I probably won't write again till the beginning of my next p2 -- because I am tired of focusing on my diet and just want to focus on my family for now.

Merry Christmas everyone!

P3 Day 2

Hi: I was up 1.2 yesterday (which was coming off of my last day of VLCD) and I was up 1.0 today -- which puts me at 2.2 above my ldw: SO... I am doing a veggie and Protein day today to correct it. I was a little worried about it.. but not like last time. I went and evaluated my calories on caloriecount.com and I only had 850 calories yesterday - so.... I know I can get it down... i am tracking my calories today and will get it down! I need to get it to 214 before I add anything new and keep it there -- I am not hyperventilating over it as I did last time --

God is good and I am happy!

Thank you Jesus for helping me with this and loosing weight and inches!

R2 LDW

I did not have enough drops for 2 doses yesterday - so... Yesterday was my LDW of 216! I was 216 also again today! I have lost inches for sure this round -- and I wish I would have lost more pounds, but I have to remember that is just a number on a scale -- and not my self worth! I tried on some old clothes this morning and they all fit or were too big -- except for 1 skirt that i have had I know for almost 20 years! I have kept it for inspiration of "the day" I could get back into it... I could put it on, but I really need to loose 5-10 more pounds for it to be PERFECT! The next time I go to a store I will try on other clothes to see how they do... I don't want to buy anything -- I just need to get through this winter with what I have and buy spring clothes -- that will be FUN!!! I know I will be in misses sizes by then and I will want to get all the cute things I never was able to before!

I am glad I will be entering p3 this Wednesday -- We are going caroling with our church and coming back to have cookies and cocoa -- I will make coconut flour cookies and almond milk cocoa for me (and Sheri if she wants it!). I am so happy to get to really enjoy and relax for the holidays and have foods I love -- I just have to be mindful of them and think about it, but I can breathe for a little while!

You know what I really like now.. when my husband goes to hug me, he can put his arms around me more -- and not have to stretch to do it! He can hug me all he wants now... and I am feeling less and less like a behemoth. YAY!

ttyl!

Weight this morning was 216! I am stopping drops on Monday -- so I have 2 more days of loosing to go! We had a family gathering last night (Friends that are Like Family to us!) and it was so hard to not eat! I just wanted spinach dip and chips, lasagna, and to relax and enjoy it... I did enjoy it, and I stayed on protocol! I ate apple/chicken/lettuce salad... I must say it was good! No dressing, the apples gave it the sweetness it needed -- I will probably have that again today! I really liked waking up to a 1.4 lb release, so it was worth it. I just feel somewhat left out at times, but the feeling is only temporary - and it passes! I just want to get this weight off more than enjoy the food -- but like I have said before... I WILL NOT be in this phase again during the holidays!

Have a great day!

Weight today was 217.8 -- I only have 4 more days of drops and then that will be my LDW

Hoping at this point to make it to 213.4 which will make it an even 20 pound loss this round with a total of 50 pounds gone at that time!

Cross your fingers!

I said I would weigh in when I hit the teens... well... today I am 218.4! I am happy about that! I want to get as close to 210 as possible... Yea, I wanted to be 200! But take what you can get right? I want to finish this round... yes, I could go to 42 days of drops, but... It is the holidays and I want to enjoy them with good food! I will actually do 29 days of drops and enter into p3 on Dec. 16th! If I had to bet, I would bet I will be at 213 by that time -- we shall see...

I have a busy day today, ttyl!

Down 1.2 this morning! Yes!!! I need to keep that number like that for the next 14 days!!! I had chicken and a spring mix salad with my mustard dressing for lunch (and bread stick) -- an orange in the mid-afternoon and I had yummy tilapia filet with some c.o. on it and spices with sliced tomato for supper (YUMMY!!!) and a breadstick -- I forgot to have my second fruit yesterday --

I drank all my water and a detox tea yesterday morning -- One of the moderators on the forum said to try not to eat the same pattern, day after day -- so I mixed it up yesterday and had fish -- I will do the same today! I weighed 222.2 this morning -

I will post again when I hit the 2-teens -- and let you know how it goes! bbfn!
