Okay, just a quick entry today. I am up 0.4, but that is not a surprise considering my loss of the other day and it is close to the end of my round. I also made some bad choices for P2 (they were good P3 choices, but I am not in P3 yet!).
Going to try to stick with my modified version of P2 for the last few days. It works if I do that.
Starting to look forward to P3 and all the things I can add back in.
Thinking of you all and hope you have a great weekend,
Enjoy the day!

Holy Releases Batman! I lost 2.0 lbs when I stepped on the scale today. I mean, wow! Considering that I altered the protocol I am feeling pretty lucky. Of course I am anticipating the weight bouncing back (cause that is how this round goes), but will enjoy the loss for now.
Enjoy the day,

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,
