R2P2 - Day 42

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 141.5
Gain/Loss -1.1

Down another 1.1 pounds but I don't think I'm going to make my goal of 140 tomorrow, but I should this week. Still sick with a nasty cold and feeling miserable! Really bad cough and sore throat. Even have been running a low grade fever. It's been 5 days and I thought I'd be better by now. I hope tomorrow starts to pull me out of this. I can't afford to be sick any longer. I've got things to do......like work!

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 235

100g steak

Took a really hot bath tonight in hopes it will help shake this cold. We'll see how I feel tomorrow!

R2P2 - Day 41

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 142.6
Gain/Loss -.2

Not a lot but at least i lost instead of gain, especially after yesterday's big drop. Was very good today with the exception of green beans for dinner. Not on protocol but wanted to see if they would really hurt me.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 225

100g chicken
2 c cabbage
apple

Dinner - 185

100 g tilapia
1 1/2 c green beans
strawberries

Total calories - 415

Tried something else that I think is OK on protocol. SoBe has a new product called LifeWater which is sweetened with stevia. Has some great flavors and no calories. Worth a try.

R2P2 - Day 40

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 142.9
Gain/Loss -2.1

Wow....2.1 pounds in one day! I'm hoping that having a break from the diet has kicked in the weight loss again and maybe now I can get below the 140 mark. Today should be my last day on the drops but I'm going for the gusto! Will be on it for at least 3 more weeks. I'd like to lose another 10 pounds this round although I've come to terms with the fact that I'll probably have to do another round do get the last of the weight off.

Breakfast - 5

Lunch - 206

Start weight161.4

R2P2 - Day 38

Start weight - 161.4
Today's weight - 144.0
Gain/Loss - +.9

Gained .9 from yesterday's binge. But had another one today. I've caught a cold and feel miserable and decided to go off for one day and have some comfort food, including a chile relleno burrito and lots of chocolate! I did have 4 tangelos too. Not even going to try to calculate the calories.....let's just say it was ALOT!!! Maybe it will jump start my weight loss. We'll see.

R2P2 - Day 37

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 143.5
Gain/Loss -1.1

Down 1.1 after min-steak day. Didn't do too good today. I had extra strawberries and 3 handfuls of almonds (finished them off so no more temptation). So I'm expecting my weight to go up tomorrow. Plus I had meetings all day and was in a hurry so had cottage cheese with tomato for lunch. While it's on the protocol I haven't been having any dairy. I'm sure it won't help!

R2P2 - Day 36

Start weight - 161.4
Today's weight 144.2
Gain/Loss -.2

Down .2 so I'm the lowest I've been so far but still not losing like I want to. Did a mini steak day today to see if that will help. Really don't want to do another apple day if I can help it. Also ran out of water today, can't stand to drink tap water, so I only had 50 ounces today instead of my usual 70 - 90. I did have an extra cup of coffee today and will have some tea before bed, so maybe it will make up for it. I'm sticking with this for 3 more weeks and am hoping for another 14 pounds during that time, but the way things have been going on this it may not happen and I may have to do yet another round! My weight loss for the past week was 4 pounds and the week before that I actually gained some, so we'll see! I'd need to lose 5 pounds a week for the next three weeks. Probably the best I can hope for is between 10 and 12. Maybe!!!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Dinner - 415

4 oz rib eye steak
4 oz NY strip steak
apple

Total calories - 420

I really like the rib eye steak but am not too fond of the NY Strip steak. It's alright cooked with the asparagus like I do, but by itself the Rib Eye wins hands down!
