Even after eating all that trail mix last night I still lost today. I'm not being optimistic about tomorrow. Didn't eat as good as I could have again today.

Cut up the fruit and added chopped raw almonds to my plain greek yogurt. Yummy!

2 c mushrooms
1 tblsp butter

Didn't have time to calculate the calories again. Have been crazy busy. Good news is that I'm not gaining despite not knowing how many calories I'm eating.

R2P3 - Day 14

Start weight 161.4
LDW 138.7
Today's weight 139.6
Gain/Loss -1.3

Not bad considering that I had some nuts yesterday afternoon, so it wasn't an honest steak day. Did much better today so I'm hoping I don't gain tomorrow. Didn't cheat once today. No sugar.....No starch!!!

Breakfast

1 c greek yogurt
1 c blueberries
1 oz raw almonds

Lunch

1/2 c zucchini
2/3 c broccoli
1/4 c mushrooms
1/2 c pineapple chunks
1 tbls butter

Sauteed the veggies in butter than added the pineapple and a little Bragg's liquid amino's. Had a very Polynesian taste to it. Would have been fantastic over rice.

Dinner

10 oz ribeye
salad w/Roquefort dressing
strawberries

It's 11:00 at night and I'm too tired to figure up the calories.

R2P3 - Day 13

Start weight 161.4
LDW 138.7
Today's weight 140.9
Gain/Loss +.7

Crazy weekend.....haven't had a chance to blog. Doing a steak day today because I'm .2 over my 2 pound limit. It's amazed me that with all the cheats I've done recently it's taken me so long to get above the 2 pound mark. But reality had finally set in......

I've got 12 more days on maintenance and then I start round 3. I'm actually excited about another round and losing the last bit of weight.

Todays' weight 139.3
Gain/Loss +1.1

The scales giveth and the scales taketh away!!! Yep gained back what I was so excited to lose yesterday. I'm still down 1.4 below my 2 pound limit but maybe not for long. I had a really funky day today. Emotionally! Just felt out of sorts today. I may be getting close to that time of the month again. All I wanted to do was eat.....bad things! Anyway.......I ate good all day until dinner than I downed a pound of sesame chicken. I wasn't even hungry. So I made myself sick on it and probably won't be able to look at chicken, let alone eat any for awhile. Tomorrow may be a steak day for me.

R2P3 - Day 7

Start weight - 161.4
LDW 138.7
Today's weight 138.2
Gain/Loss -1.1

I can't believe I lost 1.1 this morning. I am now .5 BELOW my LDW. The last maintenance I had more problems with. My weight fluctuated a lot more and I kept gaining weight. I've been on maintenance for a week already and haven't had to do a steak day yet!!!

My husband took some pictures of me for an event we went to Sunday night. Interestingly, with as much weight as I've lost, 41.6 total, I still look fat!!! I don't know if was the camera angle or what I was wearing, but they were NOT flattering pictures. The only savings grace was my daughter was in them and she looked heavy too and she's taller than me and weighs about 10 pounds less than me. So I'm hoping I really don't look that bad. But I have to say, it was a blow to my new smaller me ego. Made me glad that I'm doing another round to get off the last 10 to 15 pounds! I better not look fat in those pictures.....

Breakfast - 432

Scrabbled ham and eggs
3 eggs
3 oz lean ham
1/3 c onions
1/2 oz cheese

Lunch - 240

Chicken salad
1/3 can Kirkland's chicken

I've been working on my water intake. Since I started maintenance it's been harder for me to keep up with drinking as much as I'm suppose to. I've had 2 liters today. Fudged with the wine tonight but I want to see how it effects my weight tomorrow.
