10/11/10 R2P2D23 VLCD 21

10/11/10 - R2 P2 D23 VLCD 21
R1 - Last dose weight 7/20/10: 159.2

R2 - Day 1 weight 9/19/10: 165.0

Today’s weight : 152.6

Total loss round 2: 12.4 lbs

Total loss on HCG: 32.2 lbs



Net loss over the last two days is only 0.2 - putting my daily average at 0.56 lbs/day.



I am ,okay with that. With potentially 11 days to go, another 6lbs would put me very close to that silver medal of 145, and I believe that anything is possible!



I am having some 'cravings' but not desperate ones. Just some things I am looking forward to on P3.



Peanut butter (just a tablespoon, please!)

Sliced turkey with avocado and tomato!!

A big salad with lettuce, tomato, cukes, green pepper, onion, grilled chicken and a little salad dressing! Love them!

A whole bag of frozen broccoli/cauliflower mix!

Zucchini lasagna!!!

Cheese!

Omelets with ham, green pepper, mushrooms, onions and cheese.

Sliced tomato baked with parmesan cheese and pizza spices!

Pork loin.

Shrimp stir fry with lots of veggies!



Okay, that was fun!!!



Take care all! See you soon!

Today’s weight : 153.4

Total loss round 2: 11.6 lbs

1.8 lb loss today - couldn't be happier.



I feel great, have lots of energy, and my attitude is extremely positive!



I am gearing up for a work weekend - traditionally hospital employees are world-class eaters and my hospital is no exception. I plan to do some baking to add to the food melee but will only eat my P2 items brought from home. Everyone is very good about not putting on the pressure during my P2 periods.



I ran once this week, and plan to sign up for another timed run on October 23rd - deciding whether to do the 5k or 10k . . . but will probably shoot for the 10k!



I love October in Wisconsin . . . soooo pretty!!!

R1 - Last dose weight 7/20/10: 159.2

Today’s weight : 155.2

Total loss round 2: 9.8 lbs

Well . . . last weekend was a disaster as far as dieting goes.



Thursday night 9/30 we checked into the hotel. Friday was kindof a cluster and we ended up going out to eat - I didn't do too badly but was definitely off protocol. Saturday night we had a planned event - a semi-formal dinner party - I didn't do too badly that day either. Sunday I was supposed to get back on track . . . didn't happen. Monday was my worst day - and I'm not sure why. I wanted to be back on protocol but ended up eating popcorn and alot of potato chips.



Then my sis got a hold of me and made me look at what I was doing. Was I quitting? Was I just done?? Did I want to lose more weight and why??



Tuesday was better. Wednesday was great!



So I am here to admit that I fell down . . . hard . . . and decided to get back up.



Admittedly, I could be done losing weight now. I mean I am at the high range of my healthy weight for my height and weigh less now than I ever have in my adult life, but I set a goal for myself and would like to finish the journey strong so that I can always look back knowing I didn't give up.
