Start weight 160.0
I"m starting round 4 again since the last time I never finished it. I binged over the weekend and gained 3.5 pounds, so my start weight this round is 160. I'm up 25 pounds! Yikes!!! I am so mad at myself that I lost all that weight and then allowed myself to gain 25 pounds of it back. (I'm still down 18) I'm determined to get it back off. I'm sticking with this round until I drop what I've gained back, so it will proabably be longer than the 21 days. Our anniversary is in February and I'd like to be back down in the 130's by then. That's roughly 65 days from now. I can do this!!!
Lunch - 240
100 g steak
2 c asparagus
strawberries
Dinner - 186
100 g chicken
2 c lettuce

Starting Over......Maintenance
Today's weight 156.8
It's been a bad month. I weighed 143 at the end of my last round but had to leave for Minnesota and couldn't stay on maintenance while I was there. Got home and just couldn't get back to P3 eating. So I've paid the price! I'm up 13.8 pounds in 1 month!!! Comes off quick but it goes back on just as quick if you don't do the maintenance. I guess that's why they say maintenance is the most important part of the program.
So here I am, starting over. I'd love to go back on the HCG, but I really need to learn to stick with the maintenance the right way. So I'm doing the P3 for 3 weeks that I didn't do after my last round. I'm hoping to drop some of the weight I've put on and I'm hoping to feel better. With all the junk I've been eating, I feel crummy! I've scheduled my next HCG round to start the middle of December, so I've got 8 weeks to stick with maintenance. I'm hoping to lose what I've gained......or at least most of it.
I didn't make my goal of reaching 125 by the time I turned 51. I'd like to get back down to 135 and then maintain that for 6 months or so. If I still feel like I'd like to lose the last 10 pounds I can do it later, once my weight has stabilized.
When I first started this it was exciting to go into my closet and try on clothes I hadn't been able to wear and have them be too big, now it's depressing. So many of the clothes I got into are now to tight and uncomfortable. I am determined to get back down into them!
Over the weekend I got a bike. Several years ago my bike was stolen and I've had a tough time finding another one I liked as well. I've probably gone through 4 or 5 bikes since then. This summer I got rid of all of them because I didn't like riding them. Finally got one I love! It's a Raleigh Cruiser. It's great for the kind of riding I like to do. I'm hoping that getting active again will help me drop the weight I've put on.
I've also learned the importance of weighing in DAILY!!! If I'd have known I had gained this much, I would have got my act together sooner. But I didn't want to know so I wasn't weighing myself anymore. What a shock! I'm now officially back in the 'overweight' category.
Oh well......P3 eating today and some exercise in the afternoon.

R4P2 - Day 26
Start weight 153.4
Today's weight 143.7
I've been up and down the past couple of days because I'm still not eating right. I spent the morning pre-cooking my food for this weekend since we're going to be out of town. Hopefully I can stick with it. I'm not bringing anything else with me so it will be harder to cheat. thankfully I'm attending a seminar so I'll be busy during the day. I think Monday and Tuesday of next week will be my no HCG VLCD days. If I can stick with that I can start maintenance on Wednesday and still have a couple of days before we leave for Minnesota.
I'm doing a Fage non-fat Greek yogurt day today.

R4P2 - Day 23
Start weight 153.4
Today's weight 144.0
So I'm up a little after blowing it yet again yesterday. Had decided to do a steak day and did pretty good until tonight. Had a handful of almonds and 2 grissini. Sheez, I don't know whay this round has been so hard for me to stay on track.

R4P2 - Day 22
Start weight 153.4
Today's weight 143.7
Okay.....so I'm back down to my lowest weight this round. I tried an apple day yesterday and was thoroughly nauseous after 2 apples, so I finished my day with Fage Greek fat free yogurt and strawberries. I wasn't expecting to drop anything . Since I havn't been weighing in like I should I can only guess that I dropped 1.5 or better. I've decided to do a min-steak day today since my schedule is like crazy hectic today. It should get me over the hump and hopefully back on track!
By the way....I'm still up over 10 pounds from what I weighed the end of round 3! I've decided to stick with the P2 through the weekend and stop next week so that I'm on maintenance for my trip to Minnesota. I still want to get into the 130's and then maintain that weight for awhile before trying to drop down into the 120's. Maintenance is the key to this program, that's for sure. We have a 5 hour flight and we're leaving at 11:00 in the morning. I'm not sure what kind of food I can bring on the flight. It's been a while since I've flown anywhere, but I think they have restrictions as to what you can bring on board. At least they do for liquids. I'm not sure about food though. Will have to check with the airlines I guess.

R4P2 - Day 21
Start weight 153.4
Today's wight ?
I did not weigh today because I know I'm up and just can't handle the disappointment. I got down to 143.7, almost 10 pounds from my start weight, but didn't do to good over the weekend. it's not that I ate horrible, but I didn't stick to P2 foods. The grocery store and Fage yogurt on clearance for 50% off and i couldn't resist, so for a couple of my meals I've had Greek Fage yogurt and strawberries, which I really didn't think would hurt me all that much, but I gained. So toady I'm doing an apple day. Picked up some beautiful Honeycrisp apples over the weekend. I'm also planning on doing a mini-steak day tomorrow because of my hectic schedule. So Hopefully with the combination of the two I'll be back down on Wednesday!
I'm heading out of town this weekend and was debating on whether to go on to Phase 3, but I think that I'll stick with the P2 until next Thursday. We're leaving for Minnesota on that Friday. It seams like no matter what I do it it's going to be hard either way. I'm attending a seminar in Minnesota and I'm not sure how that's going to work with maintenance. I just have to remember.....NO SUGAR......NO STARCH!!! Hopefully I won't gain back everything I've lost in 6 days!

R4P2 - Day 16
Start weight 153.4
Today's weight 144.9
Loss -.9
Okay....it's already the 16th day into this round and I haven't even lost 10 pounds yet!?!?!? I usually lose 10 within the first week and a half. I need to lose 9.9 more pounds to make my goal. Still trying to decide whether to quit next Friday or try and stick with it until the 28th. At this rate....it's looking like the 28th!
Plus I didn't stick with it again today......and I wonder why the program isn't working as good......DUH!!! I decided to do another mini-steak day today but only made it until about 2:00. I had a salad at McDonald's on the fly. Had P2 chili when I got home and then later had a handful of almonds. I didn't have any fruit today so I'm hoping tomorrow isn't a complete bust!
