Yeaaaa!! Its Friday finally!! Have been really busy all week and I have a wine party tonight that I am really looking forward to!! I have been trying to be extra good the last few day's knowing that I will be drinking and hope to not have to big of a gain etc.. fortunately the last couple day's i have gotten my weight back down to almost a pound under my ldw of 164.1. I think it is a good idea to prepare a bit for things like that and we will see what happens over the weekend!
I forgot to mention that last night they gave us some bread with chili sauce at the restaurant we met at and I did eat a small small piece very slowly to not attract undue attention on the akwardness of not eating it etc.. but ordered mushroom appitizer in cream sauce with cheese and it was good.. was totally kosher within phase 3 guidelines for sure! I did have a great big 21 oz hefeweisen? (not sure how to spell it) and was pleased that today i didn't gain.. I think though that i am prob not eating as much as I should be... just afraid im going to gain too much etc..
Well this weekend should be very enlightening weight wise and also date wise....LOL will keep you posted!! Wish me luck!!

Day 7 P3 163.7 -1.6 lbs
Hey everyone... yea!! Sorry trying to catch up for a couple of day's here quickly.. I did a quasi steak day yesterday by eating mostly spoon roast for lunch and dinner yesterday with an apple and also some raw cauliflower, and tomato with ranch dressing. It seemed to work great even so.. especially with that kind of loss. Feeling extremely good about it now for sure!!!
It has been a hectic few days and today I went on a date!! Yes indeed, I jumped right back in and had been talking to a few people now for a couple of weeks online and agreed to meet for coffee. This gentleman was a really nice and genuine guy and we will definately go out again... not sure if there is the right chemestry there but if nothing else.. hopefully develop into a good friendship and we will see. Im not going to be hasty and rule anything out... And I have a date for coffee Sat as well to meet another guy whom I have conversed with. Should be interesting...
Im just happy to have been able to get the guts to get out there again... and I wont lie... I was nervous as heck all day.... what to say, how it would go.... etc.. etc.. you know how it is when you meet for the first time.
Well still doing great on phase three.. this is soooo much more liveable than phase 2!! I find myself filling up alot faster and being happier eating smaller amounts more frequently... seems to be working well!!

Day 5 P3 164.8 -.03
Yea! Well happy to report a slight loss.. hopefully wont get too far off track... had leftover roast today for lunch and dinner and raw vegi's with creamy pesto dip in the afternoon...
This wont be a long one.. im extremely tired and going to bed, however wanted to share a couple of things really quick... i mentioned that it was nice to show losing the weight in the spots that i tend to keep it.. (for me the stomach area)... well the couple of pounds that i have gained i can feel right there and even tell a difference.. interesting how that works..
On the lighter note, I decided to go get a tanning pass today and went tanning for the first time in years.. I usually dont do it or support that because i know how much it prematurely ages your skin... however i feel that I want to look my best and it will be a great confidence booster for me right now to have a bit of color in my summer attire.. Also went shopping today and picked out some cute shirts and a pair of capri's which i needed because my others were a size 16. The new ones are a size 12 yea!! I also went outside my comfort zone and bought two dresses... one is hot pink and prob makes me look like a flamingo.... however I thought it looked good and at least as my daughter said I dont have to worry about getting hit by a car while wearing it.... haha.. and the other was kind of a slinky black dress that would be perfect for a nice dinner somewhere not too fancy but wanting to look good. I am feeling that there just may be some opportunities to try them out...
For me this was all about trying new things... and getting outside of the box i have been in and not being afraid to reinvent myself or discover who i am depending on the way you look at it!
well have a wonderful night everyone and love and hugs to all!

Day 4 P3 +1.8 165.1
Yes... its true.. I was wondering if Saturday night would catch up with me... and sure enough... holy cow.. well, looks like a pretty significant gain... if I am basing this on my weight at my lowest dose weight of 164.1 then it looks like I am still within my two pounds ... up or down and that has wildly fluctuated from 162-165 within a few days.. looks like I see a steak day in my future. So I wish I was feeling better today but having challenges with my teenagers... anyhow.. looks like I will prob be stopping at the store on my way home tommorow for steak... i already have a roast in the oven for tonight. Anyhow... boy I do have to mention I brought leftover taco salid for lunch today and wow was i stuffed, like seriously.. i think i also need to look at portions a bit more carefully because i know for a fact i ate way too much at lunch today.. that may also be part of the gain.... prob having too much too fast.. anyhow.. will keep you posted on my weight.

Day 3 Phase 3 +.03 163.3lbs
Wow!! Can I just say that today I am LOVING phase 3!!! I have to tell you what I am eating today because I am soooo excited!! Earlier I made a delicious omelette with green peppers and onions with melted cheese on top. I also made some fresh guacamole, and salsa and topped with sour cream... and a piece of extra crispy bacon!! OMG !! I was in heaven!! Seriously it was sooo yummy!! Tonight I am eating taco salid which is ground beef , seasoned over lettuce with some cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream and more of that yummy guacamole!! Wow, who knew food could taste soooo good! I have always been a bread/ carb lover and I am so suprised that i am not missing it more!! Im sorry for those of you on the vlcd right now, I don't want to make anyone hungry but hopefully will give you something to look forward to right?
So last night I went out with some friends to play pool and stuck with the protocol outside of the fact that I probbably drank my weight in beer... but it was such a blast!! We had a wonderful time and I got to see some friends and aquaintences (sp?) that I haven't seen in months and everyone commented on how great I look and my weight loss!! It felt soooooooo wonderful!!!
I even stood strong on the way home when my friends drove through McDonalds for burgers.... I have to admit my mouth was watering for sure and they smelled soooo goood!! I didn't give in though so I am proud of myself for that. I know I prob shouldn't have had so much beer, but as far as the weight gain this morning it wasn't too significant. I will watch tomorrow to see if it jumps up significantly or not.. I seem to be able to drink alcohol and not have it affect me too badly so far... anyhow.. at the weigh in this morning I am still about 3/4 lbs from my lowest dose weight thus far so I am feeling good! I am definately realizing that the protein part is very important.. my diet typically before this was mostly from pasta, breads, and other carbs with a bit of meat or cheese etc.. so this is very different. I am just feeling really great overall and feel so much better about myself too! The pants I wore last night I used to barely be able to uncomfortably squeeze into and they were as comfortable as my larger size pairs.. which was really thrilling! I have the extra weight in my stomach area when i gain and it feels so good to have a much flatter stomach!! Yea!!! Well going strong and hope you are as well!!!

Day 2 Phase 3 +.09
Well this morning I woke up and had a gain of almost a pound.. but again due to my loss of almost two lbs i am not too worried about it.. I am going to keep eating according to plan and I had half and half in my coffee!! It was wonderfull!! I am looking forward to being able to enjoy more foods and even though I can't have carbs/sugar it isnt too bad as far as me craving them...
I am excited to stick with the protocol and will keep you posted on my weight for the up and downs.. I need to watch carefully to make sure that I dont gain too much..
I have a question though.. I know that i am suppose to stick within 2 lbs of my lowest weight.. but my question is is that weight the one on tuesday which was my first day of not dosing,. ? Weight that day was 164.1.... or do i go by my lowest weight so far which after that 2 lb drop overnight from thurs to fri was 162.1? Not sure exactly which weight I base that on?? Any recomendations? also.. and interesting note.. I lost 3 3/4 inches off my waist... wow I think that is pretty significant... !!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!! Sending everyone love and positive thoughts for reaching our goals!
