Yay! Lost 1.0 lbs again. Lost this very pound a few times this round, LOL.
So, I am changing things up a little for my last week of shots. I am going rogue on Dr. Simeon's protocol so please don't take this as approved on the plan. I know the plan, I have followed the plan, but it is not going to be what I do for this last week.
This restructuring is mostly because I ran out of my doctor recommended meal replacement shake. That, and the fact that I have zero will-power this round. I could have just added back in the fruit and the melbas (well, rice crackers for me) that my doc took out and replaced with the shake. But, to be honest, I don't think I can control myself with the crackers. So, I decided to add in a tiny bit of protein (about a 50 g serving instead of a full one) and a fruit (bringing me to the approved 2) and another veggie. What that translates to is I had an egg and a green smoothie (spinach and strawberries) this morning. The rest of the day will basically be on protocol.
However, I love Darby's suggestion in her comments on yesterday's post. Since I am struggling so mightily with little cheats, I am going to try to allow a reasonable cheat once a day. For me it will probably be a small handful of nuts or a scoop of peanut butter. I will do this either in the afternoon or in the evening which are my typical weakest times. I will try to resist doing it at all. I am hoping that knowing I CAN do this will translate into not doing it. Sometimes that is just the way I roll.
Oh, and for all the tea drinkers out there I have to tell you about a new tea that was introduced to me by a friend. It is by Bigelow and is called White Chocolate Kisses. It is soooo delicious! I put my 2 tablespoons of milk in there, along with a couple drops of stevia and it is heaven. I don't know why they call it white chocolate when it has actual cocoa powder. Because cocoa contains fat (they do use lowfat) and there is rice concentrate in there, you don't want to drink this if you are strictly following protocol.
Okay, back to work!
Enjoy the day,
Amy

Yep , look up cycling... 2 weeks is much easier :)
ReplyDeleteI might be going rogue a bit too. My mother and I are headed to Cali (unexpected) on Thursday and not sure how well I will do traveling.
ReplyDeleteThat tea sounds YUMMY. I don't even drink tea and might try to find that one!!
Have you ever heard of PB2? It's a powder peanutbutter that is GREAT with mixing in smoothies & cooking. It has like 85% less fat. I love this stuff!! I love Peanutbutter! It's wonderful in powder form, cut up your apples and shake together in a baggie!! YUMMMMM! Google it if you haven't heard of it.. it's made by bell plantation.
Lis- do you use the same dose when you cycle?
ReplyDeleteSchatzi- OMG PB2! I am SO ordering that stuff as soon as I can. When I am not on P2 I don't worry too much about the fat in pbutter, but if I can enjoy it with less calories that would be awesome. I looked at some of the recipes and I am convinced it would be a good product for me. Thanks!
Amy, They now have that Chocolate PB2 which I bet is AMAZING in recipes!! Anything to help lessen the calories when cooking!!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I crave a PB&J sandwich, I just mix the powder PB into my jelly and spread on bread/bagel and it's so good. A guilty pleasure with less fat/calories!
Check out their website to see if there are any stores near you that carry PB2. I was about to order, but you have to order 4 jars and I just wanted to try it. So I was able to locate a store not too far from me that seems to carry it.
ReplyDeleteAmy-Where do you buy the yummy tea?
ReplyDeleteLucky you found a store!! I'm jealous because the closest to me was almost 40 miles. I should look again, maybe they added more locations.
ReplyDeleteNearest one that carries PB2 for me is over 100 miles away. I will be ordering.
ReplyDeleteDarby- My friend bought it at Fred Meyer's here, I think that is Kroger elsewhere. I am uncertain which other stores carry Bigelow brand teas.
My neighbor to the south! I was seeing if you had your email address on here. IF you want to try it before you commit to a 4 pack, I will send you some!! They also have a cool combo pack that might be worth a try too. Then you would get 1 PB, 1 Choc PB & 1 Oil.
