Back to Basics

155.4

I woke up to a 4 lb loss. Woo Whoo!! This does work if I will stick with it. Looking forward to being in the 140's by the end of the round. Wish this quick loss would continue for a while, but I am a realist in knowing that this was a quick drop due to losing mostly water. At least I lost the 4 lbs. I gained in loading. This time the loading worked as I am not hungry at all! Only when it is time to eat do I feel the hunger pains.

Menu today will look much like yesterday with the exception that Hal has said that he will grill us some steaks tonight -- even in the snow!

Do Over!!

160.2 after loading for two days (+4 lbs from pre load)

Things did not go well on my last go around and unfortunately for me that means weight gain. So with Christmas and a failed try, I am doing a "do over". I have my trusted friend Kelly as my accountability partner so I know this time it will work!!

So today -

100 grams ground chicken

cucumbers

grissini

1/2 apple

Dinner will be

P3 chili

grissini

strawberry sorbet (made from frozen strawberries, water and stevia)

The hard part is that since it is so cold here in Houston, I am finding that I am not wanting to drink my water which is a must on this protocal. So far 5 glasses today -- needing to get 5 more in before bedtime.
