Day 58

132 lbs. Well, this is the target point so there's really nothing to complain about. My weight sure does bounce around even though it stays within the two lb. limit range. Today it's all good.

Day 57

131.5 lbs! OK, here's the list of what I ate yesterday and still managed to lose one lb.:

At least 1 cup of honeydew melon
At least 10 dried apricots

One tilapia filet
At least 1 cup of fresh asparagus
One string cheese
2 plums
1 orange
1 nectarine
8-10 shrimp
1 whole bag of frozen broccoli
1 more string cheese
2 Tbs. salsa, a little onion and a little jalapeno

Wow!!!! Can that be repeated? This is day 8 of the 3 week phase 3. I wonder if my metabolism is resetting?

Day 56

132.5 lbs. That steak day worked pretty well. I really wasn't hungry until dinner and then I was forced to forfeit half of my London broil for later while we went to see a movie. I ate the rest of the steak when I got home. The apple was devoured ummm, well during the previews. I was hungry and didn't have enough time! Good movie, though. How to Train Your Pet Dragon.

Today I've been good with fruit, veggies, tilapia and shrimp. We'll see what the scales say tomorrrow.

Day 55 ~ Steak Day, again

134 lbs. I actually did a lot of yard work yesterday and have the blisters to prove it. But, I still can't shake those two extra lbs. So, today will be a "true" steak day. I will skip breakfast and lunch, with the exception of coffee. Then, for dinner I will have that "huge" steak that is recommended along with one apple. Maybe then, and only then, will this little cycle be broken. Not looking forward to this day, but it must be done. My problems could stem from not enough water, but that would only be shy a little bit. I'm determined to get back to the LIW (last injection weight). 

Day 54

133.5 lbs. I only lost a half lb. on my steak day yesterday. This is clearly a challenge. Today I will be conscious of what I eat and not do any excessive indulgence. I will eat like on the diet itself, but add in a little extra fruit or veggies throughout the day. I don't think I'll do cheese today. Gotta get back to the 132 lbs. It's close, but I really don't want to stray too far from that target.

Day 53 ~ It's a steak day

134 lbs. That was my worry yesterday. I feared I'd consumed too much food. And, it shows up today. So, I plan to have 2 eggs for breakfast, a huge steak for lunch, another huge steak for dinner and a good sized chunk of cheese today per the protocol. Hopefully, tomorrow I report a two lb. loss. This isn't a setback, it's a learning experience and I'm sure everyone has had to experience it.

Day 52 ~ March 28, 2010

132 lbs. This is great. However, today I have consumed quite a bit of fruit and cheese. I didn't eat any unallowed foods, but I may have over done it, nonetheless. We'll see what the scales say tomorrow.
