Phase 2, Days 3-4

Oops, forgot to blog on Saturday morning, and again this morning, so this is a two-fer, and late. Already got my sleep for today & started on my "Monday."

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I swear my bathroom scale seems to be 3-5 pounds lower than my last weigh-in. I'll know for sure tomorrow morning when I go to the doctor's office. I was hoping I'd maintain, or at least not gain more than a pound or 2 while on vacation. If I lost weight during this stretch, I just might faint.

My 44" pants are also falling off me now. I might very well be able to fit into 42's. But I think I'm going to deal with the inconvenience of loose pants until I'm ready for 40's. I think I might have a belt somewhere in the back of my closet, and I may be forced to start wearing it if I don't want to buy new pants as often as I could. Which I don't. As it is, I only have 2 pairs of the 44" jeans that more or less fit right now, so I'm doing laundry weekly. I'm used to doing laundry every 2 weeks.

Man, losing weight is a lot of work. Hehheh.

Oh, and on Saturday afternoon, I used my last ketosis test strip. Yep, I'm there, so Sunday's meal plan changed back to stage II, where I get more protein & add veggies & fruit.

OK, so down to brass tacks...

Yesterday, 5/9/09:

Supplements: Took 2 of 3, fell asleep early & skipped #3.

Water: About 1/2 to 3/4 gallon. That whole falling asleep early thing.

Cardio: Soon.

Meal 1- 8 oz turkey bacon (8 vlp)
Meal 2- 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (4 vlp)

Totals: 12 servings very lean protein. That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Notes: I know that's a lot of turkey bacon in one sitting. That wasn't the plan, but that package had been in the froge for a few eeeks & needed to get gone before it went bad.

Today, 5/10/09:

Supplements: All taken

Water: 1 gallon

Cardio: Starting Monday morning

Meal 1- 8-10 oz chicken wings (estimated, ate out. 10 vlp) and 1 cup raw celery (1 veg)
Meal 2- 3 cups raw bell peppers (3 veg)
Meal 2- 1.5 cups fat free cottage cheese (6 vlp) and 12 raspberries (2 fruit)

Totals: 16 servings very lean protein, 4 servings veg, and 2 servings fruit. Great googly moogly!
