R2P3 - Day 3

Start weight 161.4
LDW 138.7
Today's weight 138.2
Gain/Loss -.9

Down to .5 below my LDW. I like the breathing room and I'm going to need it. Blew it big time today. It started out good. I had a ham and cheese omelet for breakfast, then a bowl of fresh fruit. For lunch I had some greek yogurt with strawberries and almonds.......from there it went down hill. For dinner I ate the left over sesame chicken I bought at Wal-Mart the night before. Then we were at a kind of get together and I had 2 tangerines and 2 packages of string cheese.....not too bad your thinking. All of it P3 foods your thinking......but wait.....things turned ugly! There was the trail mix with raisins and M&M's, the bacon biscuit, the cupcake, and 1/2 a choc chip cookie. What was I thinking.......All I know is that I'm going to pay for this tomorrow. I'm hoping I don't have to do a steak day......but we'll see!

So...yeah....my calorie count was somewhere over the 2000 mark and this is only day 3! I've got to get in back in control or I'll be way over my 2 pound limit. Here's to sticking with it tomorrow!

R2P3 - Day 1

LDW 138.7
Today's weight 138.0
Gain/Loss -.7

I'm down .7 from my LDW, which may be a good thing. I'm always stressed about how I'm going to do when I start on maintenance! You go from eating so little to eating alot! I stayed within my 2 pound limit the last time....so I know I can do it this time. It's interesting to go back and see what I actually ate during P3 last time. Some days were good, others weren't. Not that I ate non-maintenance foods, it's just that I didn't always make the best choices. I have a tendency to eat a lot of fruit and yogurt. This time I'm trying for more protein and veggies. I also have a thing for raw almonds so last time I had them almost every day, which, since i stayed within my limit wasn't a bad thing......I guess! Switching gears is hard. That's why I like P2 best. I KNOW what I can and can't have. It's simple. Stick with it.....lose weight. I know that P3 is suppose to teach you to naturally eat what's best for you, but it still freaks me out!

I've decided to become a distributor of hCG. I've been toying with the idea for months, ever since I started on the program and had such fantastic results, but was dragging my feet. I've had so many of my friends want to know where to get it and no one in our area sells it. I purchased mine from a friend of a friend in CA. I like the drops with the amino acids in them. Those that I've talked to seam to have more success with them than the drops without them. So I finally found a wholesale distributor. Ordered in bulk on Monday, received it today. Incredible service. I've also have a web-page, although it's not up and running yet. My daughter is a web page designer so she'll finish it for me and hopefully get me up and running this weekend. It's not like my life isn't busy already. I already have a job that keeps me hopping. But I work from home, so I'm hoping I can juggle them both. It will be interesting to see how it does.

Breakfast - 325

Veggie Omelet
3 eggs
1 tbl butter
1/2 c zucchini
1/2 c mushrooms
1/2 c onions
hot sauce

Sauteed veggies in butter. Cooked eggs with Pam and added veggies. It was very yummy!

Lunch - 272

Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry
5 oz pre-cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 c zucchini
1/2 c mushrooms
1/3 c onions

Cooked veggies in Bragg's liquid amino's and water, then added chicken and heated through.

Afternoon snack - 206

1/2 c diced fresh pineapple
1 mango
1/2 c sliced strawberries

I know that your suppose to be careful with pineapple and mango's, but they were going to waste so decided to use them. Hopefully it won't kill me tomorrow!

Dinner - 182

Sauteed Mushrooms with Cheese
10 mushrooms
1 oz colby jack cheese
1 tbl butter

I sauteed the mushrooms in butter than shredded the colby jack over the top and added a little Bragg's amino's for taste.

Total calories - 986

Not bad for my first P3 day. We'll see what the scales read tomorrow!

R2P2 - Day 64

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 138.7
Gain/Loss -.7

Down but not as much as I was hoping, especially since I stuck to the program perfectly yesterday. So, this round my last dose weight is 138.7. I was hoping to get back down to 137.6 so my 2 pound limit wouldn't put me above 140. Looks like I'm going to have to lose 15 pounds in my next round and I was hoping for more like 10. It shouldn't be too hard to lose another 15 pounds in a 21 day round......I hope!

As to eating today......this was my first day on the VLCD without the drops and I didn't do as good as I could have. I got really hungry about 4 and instead of just having an early dinner......I had brownies and some rice mix. Who know how it's going to effect my weight tomorrow. I guess we'll see!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 161

100g chicken breast
2 c salad
strawberries

Afternoon - ???

3 brownie bites
Pub mix (Costco)

Total calories - 166 plus whatever the junk food I ate was!

Got to do better tomorrow. I'm just so done with this round. I should have ended it weeks ago instead of trying to lose more. There is a reason why they recommend no more than 40 days on this. I'll be very happy when Wednesday rolls around and I can eat again!

R2P2 - Day 63

Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 139.4
Gain/Loss -.4

Okay....so I didn't do as well as I'd hoped on my apple day yesterday. I had 2 apples and some strawberries, which wasn't bad. It was the 1/2 slice of cheesecake with berry topping..... or maybe it was the brownie pop left over from the shower.....or it could have been the second 1/2 slice of cheesecake with berry sauce....or it probably was all of it! To be quite honest I'm surprised I lost at all.

But I was back on track today! And I must say I did awesome.....let's just hope the scales agree with me tomorrow!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 155

4 oz turkey with italian seasoning
2/3 c asparagus

Dinner - 190

100g steak
1 tomato

Total calories - 345

Going back over my blog I realized I have cheated almost every day this past week with all the cooking we were doing getting ready for the shower. I was so happy today to have stuck with the program without cheating!

R2P2 - Day 62

Start weight - 161.4
Today's weight 139.8
Gain/Loss +1.8

Yup....you read it right.....up 1.8! I guess it was to be expected. I have not been good this entire week and have skated by, so it was only a matter of time before it caught up with me. Doing an apple day today and maybe tomorrow, depending on how much I lose. We'll see.

I only have 4 apples in the house today and believe it or not we got more snow last night then we have received all year so far. Since the nearest grocery store is about 20 miles away....I'm going to make due with the apples I have and I may have some strawberries too, since I have 7 containers in the frig.

I'm not looking forward to the 3 days of VLCD and no drops. By the 3rd day, I'm starving! I'm hoping the apple days or days will bring me back down to 137, that way my 2 pound gain margin will still be under 140. Can't wait to have my veggie omelet. I miss breakfasts!!!

R2P2 - Day 61

Start weight - 161.4
Today's weight - 138.0
Gain/Loss +.4

I guess this week has finally caught up with me! But only a little. Why is it that we freak out over ounces.....OUNCES!!! It's like the end of the world. Oh my word I gained .4 ounces!!!

Since my daughter is visiting she has taken it upon herself to redo my blog page and I have to say....I love it. Much more 'me' than the other one.

So....the party is over and I think it was a huge success. Everyone seamed to have fun. We had invited over 50 and had about 36 show up. We were able to have it in the house, with several pieces of furniture moved into other rooms. It was cozy.

How did I do.....not as bad as I could have, but I wasn't a saint either. I had one cupcake, 1/2 slice of cheesecake with berry sauce, 1/2 brownie and some fresh fruit. I also had some punch. After everyone was gone and I was cleaning up I had about 4 oz of wine. For lunch I had 3 oz of turkey and just before the party I had half a sandwich with mustard, salami, ham and provolone. I figured I'd better eat something with protein or all the sugar would make me sick. Needless to say.....tomorrow's an apple day.

Here's hoping I don't gain like a gazillion pounds tomorrow!
