R2 - VLCD Day #6

Current Weight: 127.6 lbs. (-0.2 lbs.)

Dose: 155 iu

Snack: 1 stick of sugar free gum

Dinner: ~8 oz. lean steak & 1 large apple

So I was glad I got on the scale and didn't see an increase today. I was very relieved! But I also didn't lose a lot either. That makes it a 3 day stall. I did a mini steak day (I like them better than apple days) and it went really well. I am really like my dose this round because I really didn't have any hunger. There might have been a couple times a felt a little something but it went away really fast and water helped a TON!

I am hoping this helps bring me down a little. My first round, I always lost well with mini steak days (always over a pound) so I'm really hoping for the same results tomorrow!

Have a good night!

R2 - VLCD Day #5

Current Weight: 127.8 lbs. (-0.0 lbs.)

Dose: 155 iu

Lunch: Grilled Chicken and Baked Onion

Snack: Apple

Snack: 1 tiny strawberry

Dinner: Steak (too big), an apple and steamed Spinach with ACV - might be paying for this tomorrow!

Didn't have any movement on the scale tonight. It was to be expected though. After my giganto loss yesterday and working out last night, I figured I'd be up. Luckily I wasn't but I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. I have a bad feeling that I'm going to be up tomorrow.. :( Not happy.

Have a good night!

R2 - VLCD Day #4

Current Weight: 127.8 lbs. (-2.2 lbs.)

Dose: 155 iu

Snack/Breakfast: Apple

Lunch: Curry Shrimp and cabbage "stir fry" (cabbage in a frying pan with a little broth and braggs, onion powder, and garlic powder)

Snack: Apple and 1 whole hardboiled egg and 1 hardboiled egg white

Dinner: Tilapia and steamed spinach

Good day! I can't believe that monster loss this morning! A-Mazing! :) I also worked out today so I am going to do another detox bath tonight. I am hoping to at least stay this weight through tomorrow because I know exercise can often make me gain.

Zumba was so fun and its great to be doing it regularly! I hope to do it at least 3 times a week but I don't know if the ol' schedule will let me do that!

Have a good night!

R2 - VLCD Day #3

Current Weight: 130.0 lbs. (-1.8 lbs.)

Dose: 155 iu

Lunch: Curry Chicken and cabbage "stir fry" (cabbage in a frying pan with a little broth and braggs, onion powder, and garlic powder) & an apple (and maybe 2 pickles... oops)

Snack: 3 strawberries

Dinner: Chili

Snack: 7 strawberries

So even though I felt pretty hungry today. I haven't been consistently drinking my yerba mate but it just hasn't sounded very good. I will drink some tomorrow morning and maybe that will help with the hunger. I had 2 of my favorite P2 recipes today! It all tasted very good. I also tried to have strawberries in place of one of my apples (I've been having 2 a day) so we'll see if that helps the scales a little bit.

I am feeling like I might be retaining a little bit of water today. Maybe the sodium intake? I'm toying with the idea of doing a detox bath to help with that but I might also want to work out tomorrow so I thought a detox bath tomorrow would be good also... hmm. I guess I will let you know what I decide.

I tried (and succeeded) to have all my food eaten by 8:30 tonight. I don't know why I try to push things until later in the day... I think I'm paranoid that I'll be too hungry at night and cheat. Oh well, I am going to consistently try and finish eating AT LEAST 3 hours before my bedtime. Anyway, I'm off to go play games with DH and my sister and bro-in-law. Have a good night!

Today was a lot harder than yesterday. I am a lot hungrier and I'm hoping that changes tomorrow. I had a lot of cravings today as well. A couple times I almost gave up! I can do this I can do this!

I just have to keep going until I reach my goal then I feel I will have more control. Anyway, I am so tired so I better go! Goodnight!

Here we go again with Round 2!! I can't believe it! I started loading on a whim and now here I am on VLCD day 1 and picking up right where I left off. As I lay here in bed I'm a little hungry but I really haven't had a lot of hunger today. I am hoping that my dosing is going to be right on the dot this time but that probably won't happen! I have had a lot of energy today as well. I don't know why but I feel like I've been go go going all day! Maybe it was the 2 Yerba chai's I drank earlier!

I am hoping to post more details about my Round 1 P4 but I just haven't had the time to catch up quite yet. Hopefully soon! I have a scrapbooking retreat I am trying to get ready for (its in 2 weeks.. ahhh) and so when that's over, I hope I can devote more time to my blog!

Have a good day and if you are in P2, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a loss!

I know I've been MIA! I'm sorry... I went camping over Labor Day weekend and didn't have my laptop and I've been having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. But here I am, ready and raring to go!

Had a low calorie day today, mostly due to uninterest in any food in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I was having cravings but luckily, all the cravings were outside of the house! I can't tell you how much I wanted pizza or mexican food today.. it was killing me!! But luckily I got through the day pretty unscathed (as far as I know) and I'm hoping for a drop on the scale tomorrow. I am not too concerned about the gain today because yesterday I indulged and TOM FINALLY came to town. I had a preggo scare for a while there but he is finally her and although I'm relieved, I'm going to be honest and say I was a little excited about the possibility of baby #3...

Well, I'm sitting here sweating after my 35 minute detox bath and I'm falling asleep. I'd better go but I promise not to be a stranger anymore! COMMENT if anyone is reading this! :)
