R2P2 - Day 35

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 144.4
Gain/Loss .0

Despite caving yesterday I didn't gain any weight. I am surprised. Let's hope it doesn't catch up with me tomorrow!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 235

100g steak
2 c asparagus
strawberries

Dinner - 206

100g chicken
2 c lettuce
apple

After dinner snack - 35

Strawberries

Total calories - 481

Even though I had extra strawberries tonight I still stayed below 500 calories, so I'm hoping I'll be OK for tomorrows weigh in and measure day!

By the way.....new favorite dressing, 1 tbls vinegar, 1 tbls lemon juice, 1 tbls Braggs liquid amino and 4 drops stevia. It's very good and cuts the tartness of the vinegar and lemon.

R2P2 - Day 34

Start weight - 161.4
Today's weight 144.4
Gain/Loss -.4

Down .4 so I am at my lowest weight so far. I'm dying to break the 140 mark and get down into the 130's. I'm down 17 pounds this round. I lost 19.8 the last round but I only did it for 26 days. So this round has been slower with the weight loss, but hey.....it's still working!

Today was another crazy day for me. I cheated a bit in the morning and had 2 tangelos, which made me hungry for the rest of the day. I had my normal lunch and dinner, but may family was snacking all night long and my will power was less than what it should have been, so I had 3 handfuls of raw almonds and at 9:00 pm had another bowl of strawberries. (It was better than the fresh bread with jam that  my family was eating!)I'm hoping I don't pay for it tomorrow with another weight gain. I'm too close to 145 for comfort!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 235

100g steak
2 c asparagus
strawberries

Dinner - 186

100g white fish
2 c lettuce
apple

After dinner snacks - 335

2.5 oz raw almonds (guessing)

With my calories that high I can almost count on gaining weight tomorrow! Yikes!!!

R2P2 - Day 32

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 144.8
Gain/Loss +.2

Well....the hamburger day yesterday didn't work to well for me. I was up .2 but talk about a crazy night. I had a bottle of Lipton's unsweetened tea on my way home at about 5 last night. When we went to bed at 11:30 I was wired! I couldn't lay still, couldn't close my eyes......it was weird! So I was up until 2:30 in the morning and I mean WIDE awake! No more Lipton tea for me! Anyway, I think my 4 1/2 hours sleep last night may have had an effect on my weight this morning. I'm hoping for a big drop again tomorrow. I had a normal lunch but only chicken for dinner.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 235

100g steak
2 c asparagus

R2P2 - Day 31

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 144.6
Gain/Loss -1.8

Yes!!! Finally made it below the 145 mark. It's taken over a week to do it, but I finally made it. I tried the mini steak day yesterday and it worked. I'm doing a lean protein day today, pretty much the same as yesterday except I'm having 96% lean hamburger for dinner. I'm hoping it will work as good as yesterday's mini steak day did.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Dinner - 435

12 oz 96% lean hamburger made into patties
1 tbls jalapenos diced and added to meat
1 tbls diced onion
3 tbls reduced sugar ketchup

Total calorie - 440

I'm hoping the diced chilies and onions won't hurt me tomorrow, but we'll see. I didn't have any apples or tomatoes so decided to have a little reduced sugar ketchup, which was lower in calories than either the apple or tomato. Only 5 calories for 1 tbls. Here's to my weigh in tomorrow!

R2P2 - Day 29

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 146.4
Gain/Loss -1.8

Well I managed to lose everything that I've gained this week and am back down to my start weight from last Monday! I was very good today and even went under my 500 mark. In looking over my last week's logs found that I was going over 500 consistently. With everything else I had going on that might explain some of the problems I was having last week. We'll see what tomorrow brings. If I continue to lose....great! If not, I may try a mini steak day. I know I'd rather try a mini steak day than another apple day...that's for sure!!!
