P3 - week 2

Hanging in there!

This morning I was at 149 again - so I'm like 2.5 above my LIW ... but staying here. Maybe this is where I'm supposed to be. I don't think I ate enough yesterday but I am drinking alot of water, watching the sugar/starch intake and feeling great.

I am not suffering through another steak day while I'm in school, as I get hungry during the day and lunch actually mentally gives me a break. :) Not eating would not be good for me. Maybe on the weekend when I'm busy and can keep myself occupied and not thinking about lunch. Last steak day I did, I was hungry before dinner time.

So far so good ... this P3 has been easier than the last, which I completely screwed up and felt terrible about. Round 1 of P3 was cake and I stabilized, as well as round 3 has been good. Round 2 I went to Myrtle Beach thinking I could stay away from starch/sugar. Yeah right. :P til tomorrow!

day after the egg day

Ok so I totally expected to see a LOSS today due to the egg day being yesterday and the fact that I apparently gained a lb from it. hmph.

Today I was exactly the same - 149. At least I'm consistent.

So yesterday I had an omelete w/ cheese for bfast, a salad w/ chicken breast, parm cheese & my ranch dressing for lunch. oh and a string cheese. Dinner was more chicken breast, some whipped califlower/spinach with celery to dip into it, and a mixed green salad w/ my ranch dressing. And I stayed the same.

Today was an omelete w/ cheese for bfast, salad w/ my ranch and chicken breast ... dinner a burger, whipped califlower with celery - yes I eat alot of the same stuff. It's only me eating it and I wanna get rid of stuff. :P I'm going to have a salad when I get back from a seminar I have to go to tonight, and I have had 60 oz of water today. I will drink more and see where we are in the morning.

I feel like a slave to the scale lately.

Egg day results!

So yesterday I did the 'egg day'. Ate eggs allll day with some cheese in an omelet form - (bfast,lunch,dinner). I woke up this morning to see that I apparently GAINED a lb. Maybe its the coffee with heavy cream I drank all day and the fact that I only drank 40 oz of water all day, but I am NOT happy with this. Or maybe it's that I didn't eat dinner til 8 pm. Whatever it is, I'm not happy one bit. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Eating normal today - back to school - and a good salad w/ a no sugar ranch dressing and parm chicken on top of spinach/mixed greens will make me feel better. Not sure I'll be eating eggs for breakfast though. (lol) I'm kinda 'egged out'.

alternative day ..

So I woke up w/ the intention of doing high protien today ... had an omelete and cheese for breakfast. Decided at lunch time that I was going to have another omelete w/ cheese...after finding this ebook I had purchased last time I did the hCG...there is such a thing as an egg day. You eat between 8-12 eggs in a day. Cheese is allowed, mayo and relish in small amounts - in case you wanted to eat deviled eggs.

Sure. I can do this to see what happens. No veggies and no fruits and no meat. Different for sure - and I had forgotten about these alternative days to correct a gain. I had done a steak day yesterday and am 2 lbs heavier than my LIW - where I'm allowed to be. But I'd like to be closer to the LIW so I don't worry about going over again.

I'll let you know how the 'egg day' works out!

P3 and wow

Ok, so P3 is way different than P2, and I should know this as I've done this before. I'm not new. ;)

I LOVE apples and ate them every day on P2. EVERY day. LOVE them!
So I'm telling my friend that I have eaten apples on P3 and she's surprised. I wonder why. I look up the food list, and apples are on the lower carb side but still have sugar. EVERYTHING has sugar in it. Bacon, ham, apples, peanuts ... holy mackeral. To stabelize, I am trying to be SO careful.

Last thursday night I stayed w/ my bf at his camp in the middle of nowhere. We had pork chops w/ an apple chutney (see, I love apples and it was AHHHHMAZING!), whipped cauliflower and salad w/ ranch dressing (that *I* made so I know there is no sugar) - he had a captain & diet coke and I skipped the captain but had a diet coke ... we woke up and had bacon, eggs w/ cheese and the last honeycrisp (my FAVORITE)apple that we had with us. I didn't get to weigh in as I didn't get home til after noon on Friday. Saturday I weighed in at like 150.6 ... my LIW was 146.8 so I'm allowed to be at 148.8 ... which means I was 1.8 lbs over my LIW. argh.

Saturday turned out to be a steak day. I had 2 eggs w/ a laughing cow cheese wedge, and then nothing but water & coffee all day til dinner. I had bought 2 steaks (NY Strip?) and made them for dinner and had a HUGE honey crisp apple with it (I was allowed!!) :) I only ate one steak and immediately was STUFFED.

I woke up this morning to see 148.8 which means I am just at my LIW allowance. I am wondering if I should do another correction day today just to be safe...but I'm still having eggs this morning before I decide.

Hang in there ladies, we are doing great! :)

p3 ...

Ok last night I had P3 for dinner - a burger (that i didn't weigh!), a salad with cheese and tomatoes and ranch dressing (that I made to ensure no sugar)...and my stomach was not happy. LOL but it was yummy! I even had some almonds last night because I had been waiting and waiting to have them.

this morning I woke up to a .2 gain and I was ok with that, considering I drank hardly ANY water. Bad girl. :)

I had 3 eggs w/ cheese this morning and coffee with heavy whipping cream & stevia. (yummmmy). Lunch was a burger and a salad with cut up apple and cheese in it (with my ranch) and some almonds. Dinner was a burger again (see how I'm trying to use it all up?), a salad and some califlower with cheese on it. YUM!

I'm stuffed. And I've eaten enough but not enough to stuff me. Doesn't take much to fill me up apparently. Tomorrow I'm having ham and brocolli ... I'm ready for some different stuff!

P3 ... soon!

I read last night that it is indeed 72 hours (not 3 days) from the last 'injection' that you start P3. That will be tonight around 8 pm. I might wait and have dinner late and have some eggs!

I jumped on the scale this morning, afraid of what I'd see - as I've been a bad girl. I was hungry yesterday and ate like 4 apples (and thoroughly enjoyed it!!!) - so I was afraid of the scale this morning. I was at 146.2 where yesterday I was 146.6. Not looking for a loss, but no gains is what I'm looking for.

Excited to stick with the same foods that I have been eating and adding new ones (brocolli, cauliflower), including that yummy ranch dressing I found online w/ no sugar. :)

Off we go - new phase. total hCG loss is 37.3 lbs. This round: 19.4 lbs. From a size 14 or 16 to an 8, with a couple pair of size 6 jeans thrown in. I'll take it. Not quite the 40 lbs I had hoped to be at - but can't always get what you want. :)
