I'm up a pound. Told you I suck! Yesterday at our training they served us these gross wraps. I was hungry and didn't plan ahead...I should have left and went to McDonalds for a chicken salad. Then I would be down today! But I ate it. And I ate the veggies out of a pasta salad, but not much pasta~ it was pretty gross too. Then I proceeded to eat the cookie, and feeling grossly unsatisfied ate too much candy that was scattered all over the table. That was probably the stupidest cheat I've had, so NOT worth it! I will do better today!!

I have been so busy, and I'm not even working full time yet. My friends think I have dropped off the face of the planet, well I assume that but haven't talked to any of them in weeks , lol! It is a little disappointing how much I suck this round. I am not even at LIW FROM R2. I have. Lost 11 lbs in 24 days. Oh well, its my own fault. But I am back on track now. Next week is going to be chaleenging. We have a lot of trainings/meetings as the school year starts back up, and that means a lot of food shoved in front of us. I have a training today that lunch is included, but have no idea what it will be. I may be skipping lunch!

I was ready to just quit a couple days ago. I was just done. But I went to the forum and found lots of inspiration to keep going, and have recomitted myself. I found 1 post extremely helpful about making permanent changes. It said if you are in P2, just counting down the days until you can have a Big Mac again you are setting yourself up to fail. I realized I was doing that, feeling deprived and sorry for myself. Instead now I am focusing on the yummy stuff I can eat, my health and looking forward to Grammy's mug cake and chicken breast in P3!

I have been so busy, I haven't really had a chance to breathe! Its going to be worse when school startsup and I'm back to workk full time. Not to mention I have failed miserably at my goal. I only have 13 days until then. So if I am really, really good I miight be able to hit around 165 before then. I would be happy with that!

You ccan tell from my weight I am still in the same place. I got frustrated after stalling the 3rd day in a row, and ate italian food. I was up 3 pounds, but have brought it back down. So not worth it! I was so sick feeling overnight and the whole next day. I am going to do my best.

R3P2D16: weiight 178.2

Ugh! Exactly the same. I know stalls are expected around this stage. In the game. I ate beef and tomatoes yesterday, and even though I've never noticed a problem with them before I will need to keep an eye on it. I only have 17 days left till I go back to work, and I was hoping I would be in the 150s. It doesn't look possible anymore, I feel like I will be lucky to even be in the 160s. Siigh...oh well. Its all better that 245, right!!?? :)

R3P2D15: weight 178.2

I made it through the twins' party, and didn't eat a thing! I took one bite of a pork carnita, and it was soooo yummy. I really wannted a cupcake and a taco, but I was so good. I even shocked myself! I ate a Wendy's apple chickenn salad for lunch, without bleu cheese, dressing or the pecans. It was good! And I dropped another pound. Yay me!

R3P2D14: weight 179.4

I am up .2, but still in the 170s :) I'm really glad that stupid donut didn't doo a lot of damage. I only ate one meal yesterday, and skipped my fruit. I had a lean beef patty and tomatoes. Today. Is the twins party. I have been so busy all week, and today is going to be crazy. I have way too much to do, and not enough time to get it done...

R3P2D13: weight 179.2

Well, only 1/2 pound. I knew my lucky streak had to come to an end sometime. Sigh...I'm happy that its still in the right direction though. Today is the twins' birthday, and they wanted donuts. I have banned Krispy Kreme, but figured for their birthday I would make an exception. I said no to my sample, yay me! But....ended up eating a chocolate cake donut when we got home :( I have the urge to really blow it, since I already have, but will do damage control the rest of the day. Then maybe I won't be up too much in the morning. It is not worth it!!

R3P2D12; weight 179.8

OMG!!! That's nearly 2 pounds again! And I am now back in the 170's! I am so stoked!s :) I repeated yesterday, almost to a "T". My cousin wanted to meet at chuck e cheese, and we still had several tokens left, so I agreed. I ate the salad bar with chicken, cucmbers and strawberries. I don't know if its just a coincidence, or if I should plan on eating there every day, lol!!

R3P2D11: weight 181.6

Wowza! Two more pounds! I will definately be in the 170s by this weekend now! Yesterday I spent several hours cleaning my den/storage roomm, and trying to get it organized. I took the kids to chuck E Cheese for lunch, and planned on just having a salad. I was surprised to see you could add chickenn breast to the salad bar, and there were STRAWBERRIES on it! It made it worth it :) so I ate a ton of lettuce, cucumbers (yes, I sometimes mix veggies) and strawberries, along w a perfect little portion of chicken. For dinner I just ate a little shrimp, I was not hungry at all!

R3D10: weight 183.6

Yay!Two pounds! I am going to be back in the 170s by this weekend. I am really disappoinntted in myself, I have only lost about 5 pounds in 10 days, and that's AFtER loading. Oh well, I guess that's about average for women. Damn PB. Why does it call my name? I have been really goood after that sandwich last week, and got through the hardest weekend of the summer. I will stay on track! Only about three weeks until I return to work, I don't have a moment to waste!

R3P2D9: weight 185.8

Well, I am back from my camping trip, and I did VERY good! I am so pround of myself!! I am up a pound from all weekend, but I am not worried. I think it is due to the fact that I got sunburned and I've heard that causes you to retain water, and I ate turkey. My foil packs got water-logged in the cooler, and were disgusting and slimy looking. So I ate the roasted turkey breast for lunch yesterday, since I thought it would be better than the ham. The only thing else bad I ate was a couple of marshmallows Saturday night. So all in all, I think it turned out pretty good :) and I know it will melt off!

R3P2D7:weight ???

Well, I've made it through about half of my camping trip, and I have not cheated even one bite! Yesterday for lunch I ate a chicken breast and an apple,and then for dinner I had a foil pack with radishes and tilapia. It was pretty good, but the radishes got soggy. I like themm much better roasted. So far today I passed on tons of yumminess and have only eaten an apple. I have a foil pack with chicken and asparagus ready to go for lunch. I can do this!!

R3P2D6: weight 184.6

If you give a dieter some jelly, she'll probably want some peanut butter to go wiith it. And chances are, if you give her the peanut butter, she'll ask for some bread.

I made my 3yo neice a PBJ sandwich, and when she took a bite the jelly squished out. So I instinctively took it and licked up the dripping jelly. I had to save her! Anyway, then I just couldn't get it out of my mind and ended up making myself a sandwich. I suck so bad!! And here I am sitting, planning meals for our family camping trip. I don't know how I am going to get through this weekend. I have my own meals planned, but everyone else is going to be eating yummy stuff, not to mention the S'mores. And what's really bad is TOM is making decisions rite now. Ugh! Oh, well. I am going to have a good time and stay on protocol as much as I can. If I fall off the wagon, Mondays a new day, right?!

R3P2D5: weight 183.8

Ugh! What a tiny loss. TOM is visiting, and is insisting I eat something chocolate. It is driving me crazy!! Yesterday I was really good. I took a chicken breast, a tomato and strawberries to work with me. Then for dinner I ate filet mignon and a salad. So I am not sure if my tiny loss is due to TOM, the tomato, or the beef. I have never had a problem with tomatoes or beef in the past, but you never know. I am feeling so bloated and irritible, and crampy. I think I'll take some midol and a nap...

R3P2D4: weight 184.2

Well, another pound! Yesterday I went to Siver Dollar City, and the girls begged to do the cave tour. My legs hurt today from all those stairs! Especially because Isabel freaked out about the long narrow ones and I carried her on my back! I was almost afraid I'd gain from water retention. Because we were in Branson, I was forced to eat out. Went to McD's and got a chicken salad. I picked off most of the cheese and bacon, and ate it without dressing. I had an apple in my backpack and ate it for a snack while in the park. I also ate 1 pork rind and peaanut brittle sample. And I was good! For dinner I had chicken drenched in Franks hot sauce, brocolli (off. Original protocol) and strawberries dipped in Truvia. OMG that stuff is GOOD! I don't even know if it is legal on P2, it has the texture and taste of real sugar! I hope it is okay. It is expensive, but it was on sale at Mamma Jeans, so I thought I'd try it.

R3P2D3: weight 185.2

Now that's what I'm talking about!! 2.2 pounds, yay!! I hope this continues :) yesterday I had. My "miracle omelet". It was OFF PROTOCOL, but works for me. I put a tiny bit of coconut oil, some broccoli, onions and tomatoes and sautee. Then I take my beaten eggs (4, but only one yolk) and pour over the veggies. It was yummy! Then for dinner I broiled some tilapia and radishes. It was good too! I tipped the cookie sheet and half of my radishes fell off, I was so mad, but oh well! I also had just one apple. I never got around to eating my strawberries after dinner.

R3P2D2: weight 187.4

Well, I'm down just a tad over a pound. I was really hoping for at least 2 pounds, especially this early on. Oh well, sigh. I am already getting addicted to seeing the scale move agaibn. It kind of sucks that it is going to take almost 2 weeks just to get back to my LIW. That is actually very discouraging. But I guess I have to waste those days so I can get past that number and closer to my goal. I'm hoping for a bigger loss tomorrow! (Fingers crossed)

R3P2D1: Weight 188.6

Ouch! That's 13.6 pounds over LIW. That really sucks!! But it includes several weeks of eating pretty much whatever I wanted, and loading so I guess I'm glad its not worse. Today is VLCD1, and I'm kind of glad because I felt so uncomfortably full last night. Of course I still managed to squeeeze in a jitterbug from Andys right before bed :) also, I ate at Nakato (hibachi restaurant) with a friend, and I know there was a LOT of sodium that could be causing more weight today. I'm hoping for a really big loss tomorrow! I am prepared to start this round, my fridge is full of foods I need to "cook up" today.

I'm back!!

Hello everyone! It has been a VERY long time since I posted! I just started round 3 yesterdy. I have no idea what I weigh right now, I didn't want to know exactly how much loading is going to cause me to gain. So I am just going to weigh tomorrow, VLCD1 and go from there. I hope I haven't lost all my faithful followers! I've missed you guys!
