Went much higher on the calories today, mostly due to the Unwich. It was SO good though! I am really hoping that my detox bath tonight gets rid of any potential water weight that may have happened from working out yesterday or from eating a little adventurously today!

My carb percentage and calories are a bit higher today but my protein was at 192 caloric grams. Hopefully that's enough to stay the same weight overnight (at least). Well, I gotta get some rest for my first day of class tomorrow! Have a good one!

I have to admit, I was quite pleased with my steak day results. I lost a total of 3.4 lbs. which makes it my best steak day yet! I ended up doing high protein today (as you can see from above) and I am pretty pleased with how it went. I am just hoping that the scale sees things the same way I do! I keep thinking "there is no way I only ate 1110 calories today" but I guess its true! I keep going to my counter to make sure I didn't forget anything but I am pretty sure everything is accounted for! Pretty cool...

I am going to start working out tomorrow. I have basically completed P2 and P3 but I am going to try and continue P3 eating for a while. I want to eat bread and stuff but it is not that strong of an urge. Today, the family all had carrot cake which looked and smelled AMAZING! Luckily though, I was able to say no and keep going on my high protein day.

I also had a detox bath tonight. I was hesitant about this but I'm hoping it helps relieve me of some excess fluid my body may have encountered while traveling.

Well, I hope you all have a great night and thanks for reading! :)

Dinner: 15 oz. Ribeye and an Apple

Total Calories: ~969

Breakdown: 50.3% Fat/ 36.2% Protein/ 13.5% Carb

Steak day from my travel/TOM/fruit weight gain. A little frustrated all day today because of this massage jump. This is the furthest I've been away from my LIW (Even more than the CHEAT DAY!) I couldn't believe my eyes on the scale this morning. I honestly don't understand how I could weight more today than the day after my megacheat. I am hoping it is water weight from traveling and hoping that TOM makes his appearance. I've been more emotional than usual and I am just praying that he comes soon so I can drop this added water weight!

Well, I am hoping this steak day does the trick. It is extremely disappointing to be this high when I didn't have the delicious cheat food to go with it!
