Start weight 146.4
Today's weight 136.9

I'm guessing the steak day worked since I'm back down to were I started from before I blew it, but since I didn't weigh myself after I'm not sure how much I've lost. I'm just glad to be back to where I was before this past week and my non-P2 eating frenzy!!!

I'm back on track now and hope to remain so for the next week. I go off the drops next Tuesday and am hoping to drop into the 120's by then......so I've got to be really be meticulous about the program!

Coffee

Lunch - 215

100 g turkey
2 c zucchini

I know I'm not suppose to have the same fruit for two meals but I'm out of everything else right now.

R3P2 - Day 21

Start weight 146.4
Today's weight ???

Decided not to weigh myself this morning since I know I gained after attending the wedding last night. This whole past week hasn't been good.....food wise. I've eaten alot of non P2 foods and thus no real weight loss. I'm going to be extra good this last week since I'm due to stop the drops next Tuesday. If I can just be good until then maybe I can get into the 120's! That will only be another 6 pounds and I have 8 days to do it in!

Breakfast - 5

Coffee

Lunch/Dinner

Steak
Tomatoe

Not as good as I had hoped after an apple day, but then I did a modified apple day. I also had some strawberries.....so that may be the reason. Once again I didn't do as good as I could have today. I had a vanilla iced coffee at McDonald's this morning and a few too many grissini tonight, but it's that time of the month and I'm craving anything and everything!!!

Breakfast - 5

Not as bas as I thought, but probably enough to cause a gain tomorrow!

R3P2 - Day 16

Start weight 146.4
Today's weight 136.9
Gain/Loss +1.3

Yes.....the food free for all I had yesterday caught up with me! I'm not too disappointed, it was a planned thing so I was expecting it. Doing an apple day today to compensate.

My daughters and I have decided to do a 10 pound challenge. We've challenged each other to see who can lose the 10 pounds the fastest. The winner gets a prize of their choice. My youngest daughter wants to pick out any swim suit she wants out of the Victoria Secret catalogue. My oldest daughter has yet to decide what she would like her prize to be. Personally, I think losing the 10 pounds is prize enough for me! But then again.....a nice massage would feel really good!

We have another wedding to go to this Saturday and I know I'm going to blow it again. It's so hard to go to a catered dinner reception and then sit there and not eat. I will try to make better choices than I did last night. But really......who can resist wedding cake???

My husband went on the program with me for 2 weeks. His schedule changed and he has to be out of town this week and it was just too hard for him to stick with it. He did manage to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks and that while having flavored creamer in his coffee every morning and his daily 'cheats' in the afternoon, usually peanuts or hot tamales. I was proud of him for sticking with it for 2 weeks. Will he keep it off?????  Probably not. He broke the diet with a large fry and cheeseburger! He will, however, have a totally different view of what I've gone through and what I still struggle with.

I was looking at some old pictures this morning just to remember how far I've come on this weight loss journey. It's sad actually to see how miserable I was even when I was trying to have fun. I wasn't comfortable in my clothes, not for that matter with myself. Looking at those pictures helps me to keep my resolve that I never, ever want to be in that position again. I like where I am right now. I like how I look. I like who I am. I'm comfortable with me!

I have lots of overweight pictures of me, but I'm waiting for some of the newer ones so I can post the difference. I had become so camera shy that even though I've lost weight, I don't have any pictures. We went to a wedding recently and I'm waiting to get back some of those to post.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch/Dinner

apples!

R3P2 - Day 15

Start weight 146.4
Today's weight 135.6
Gain/Loss -1.3

Wow!!! I'm at my lowest weight since I can't remember when but it must have been shortly after my husband and I got married 12 years ago! I wish I could say I did good today but I didn't and I knew in advance I was going to blow it today. We had a gathering at 12:30 and with picking up the dogs from the kennel and then rushing to get there, I didn't have time to make anything. I was starving so I ate things I should have. Peanuts, 1/2 a roast beef sandwich, a slice of pizza.......and the list goes on! I guess we'll just have to see what the scales say tomorrow.....it's probably going to be an apple day though!

R3P2 - Day 14

Start weight 146.4
Today's weight ?

I was out of town today so wasn't able to weight in this morning. It's always a scary thing when you can't weight in for a couple of days. I don't know about the rest of you but I start to imagine the weight piling back on again! Like I could gain 40 pounds overnight?????  Anyway. I did pretty good today. I did fudge a little and had creamer in my coffee in the morning, but I ate according to protocol the rest of the day.

Breakfast - ?

Coffee with french vanilla creamer

Lunch - 181

100 g chicken
2 c salad
strawberries
grissini

Diner - 195

100 g steak
2 c cabbage
grissini

Total calories - 376 plus my morning coffee

I was amazed at how many people who hadn't seen me in a while came up to tell me how good I looked. I think sometimes we forget just how much weight we've lost because we see ourselves every day. One woman I hadn't see in over a year asked me what magic shrinking pill I had found. It was a nice ego boost.

R3P2 - Day 13

Start weight 146.4
Today' weight 136.9
Gain/Loss -.4

Even after yesterdays cheats I still dropped weight! That's awesome!!! I'm going out of town today and won't be back until tomorrow night. I have already pre-cooked and packed my dinner for tonight and my lunch and dinner for tomorrow. My daughter and I have challenged each other to see who can lose 10 pounds first. So I'm trying to be very good. Hopefully my hard work will pay off.

Breakfast - 5

Coffee with vanilla cream stevia

Lunch - 255

100 g steak

Dinner - 226

100 g chicken
2 c salad

I ate my grissini on the drive to Phoenix when everybody else got snack foods to munch on for the trip. That and an 'Ice' really helped me from caving. Ice is a sparkling flavored water that I have every once in a whole as a treat.
