Day 71 ~ Phase 4

130 lbs. Well, I made it. And, tonight I will test it with a vengeance. I went out to dinner again at Outback Steak House...different city. This time I avoided the Blooming Onion that showed up at my table 2 minutes after I arrived. I did have one piece of bread with butter and I indulged in splitting a brownie/ice cream sundae thingie.  There was also the split bottle of wine that was shared. We'll see how all this plays out tomorrow when I hit the scales. It could be said that I didn't hold back. I already have steak on hand in case it's a STEAK DAY!

Day 70

131.5 lbs. Easy come, easy go. I think it might have been the 2 butterfly pork chops last night...or the corn. It's still under the LIW (last injection weight) of 132, so I'm happy.

Tomorrow starts phase 4 ~ adding in carbs and sugars. I will need to research this stage on the yahoo groups so see how people survive. I can see how one could easily snowball and fall to the bottom of the hill. It really doesn't take much in the way of carbs to derail me. I can only imagine the same would be true for sugars. Just a little bit scared. Looking forward to pizza, but not sure one piece would be satisfying. I see steak days in my future....

Day 66

132 lbs. Man, those steak days work just as they are supposed to. I did not have the apple because I was so full from the huge steak. Now tonight I went to dinner again and we'll see what repercussions if any, there will be from that. I tried to be good, but who really knows how the chicken marsala was actually prepared? The scale will tell me in the morning.

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).
