Stayed the same. I still think it's because I blew it Sunday night. Not discouraged though. Still have a long way to go.....31 days left. I'm still hungrier than I was on the first round. I've been trying to have my fruit in between meals so I'm eating 4 times instead of just 2.

R2P2 - Day 8

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 153.4
Gain/Loss -.3

(This post is actually for last night. I didn't get home until late last night and didn't fell like posting.) I was surprised that I lost at all, especially since I blew it big time last night. It will probably catch up with me later this week. We'll see. I've cut out the grissini for a few days to see if that will help get the loss going again after blowing it.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 206

100 g chicken breast
2 c lettuce
apple

Dinner - 282

100 g steak
2 c asparagus
grapefruit
Braggs liquid aminos

Dinner was fantastic! I cut the asparagus into small pieces, thin sliced the steak and sauteed them both in Braggs liquid aminos with about 1/2 c of water. I'll definitely be eating this again!

R2P2 - Day 7

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 153.7
Gain/Loss -.2

A little discouraged that I'm not losing like I did on round 1. I did really good today until I was invited to an engagement party for a friend of the family. They were serving champagne and finger foods and I caved!!! I had a small flute, maybe 4 oz champagne and about 1/2 cup of fresh fruit. Unfortunately that was just for starters!!! I had 4 small sausage stuffed mushrooms, 4 bite size chicken kabobs, 1 cracker with cream cheese and 3 very small coconut cookies (approx, 1" diameter). Once I got started there was no stopping me! I have no way to count the extra calories I had tonight. I usually have more willpower than I did tonight, but I knew going in that it was going to be hard for me. It will be interesting to see what the scales read tomorrow. I just hope I haven't blown it big time. The good news is that I'm on this for 40 days so I've got time to make it up.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 226

Apple chicken salad
100 g chicken breast
apple
2 c lettuce
1 tbls lemon juice
1 tbls apple cider vinegar
grissini

Dinner - 282

100 g steak
2 c asparagus
orange
grissini

Total before party calories - 513

I was already over my 500 calorie limit even before the party. I'm going to try to calculate the calories I had there.

Party - 316

4 oz champagne - 88 calories
4 sausage stuffed mushrooms - 88
4 bite size chicken kabobs - 20 (one pineapple chunk, small piece of bell pepper and small piece of chicken)
3 1" coconut short bread cookies - 100
1/2 c fresh fruit - 20

That makes my total calorie count for the day 829! Yikes. I just hope I don't gain too much weight tomorrow. It's my weigh in and measure day.

R2P2 - Day 6

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 153.9
Gain/Loss -.4

Down a little today, but not what I was hoping for. I'm down 7.5 pounds for 5 days and was hoping to make 10 the first week. On round 1 I lost 9.8 the first week. I was also hungry today so I've upped my drops to 12 three times per day to see if it will take the edge off. I also think I may start eating my bread and fruit between meals. It's seams like I'm stuffed at lunch and dinner but hungry in between. I had an extra grsissini today in the afternoon.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 226

100 g chicken breast
2 c lettuce
apple
grissini

I made an apple chicken salad that was really good today. I halved my apple and added one half to my salad with my standard lemon juice and vinegar dressing and ate the other half. I'll have this again.

Dinner - 230

100 g Atlantic cod
tomato soup
7 strawberries
grssini

Tried cod tonight and don't care for it much. It would be great if it was sauteed in butter, but cooked in a little water just didn't do much for me.

After such a big loss yesterday I was wondering if I wouldn't gain some of it back. Been struggling with hunger more than with the first round. I babysat my grandson today who wants to eat everything.....he's 2. being in the kitchen every five minutes getting him another snack was hard. I'm not sure if I was all that hungry or just tempted.
