I can breath easy knowing that I have a new go to on long campus days! -1.8!! I was worried I wouldn't lose at all so this was a wonderful surprise today! 150's here I come!
Yesterday was greek yogurt between classes, an apple, melba toast, and cooked spinach when I got home. Then chicken meatballs and a cucumber for dinner with an orange for dessert.

Redemption and going rouge! VLCD7
-1.0! 1 week down already!
I was comparing notes from previous rounds and I am almost exactly where I was at the end of round 2 week1: 161.4 Today I am at 161.8. Now my LDW for round 2 was 160.2 so that gives you an idea about how the rest of that round went! I only gained 4#'s of it back so I feel like I did pretty well but this is my redemption for round 2!
So I mentioned that I went a little rouge on Friday, as noted by my loss of 0.4 it obviously did not work! This diet is so specific and deviation does not work out so well. On Friday I was on campus all day long and a meeting I attended had a tray of subway party sandwiches. I ate the turkey out of one sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and one bite of the bread. I counted this, plus the apple I had for breakfast, as my lunch. I knew that one meal rouge was bad enough but when my best friend that I hadn't seen all week wanted to do dinner I couldnt turn her down! We went to Panera where I had a bowl of tomato vegetable soup and an apple. I still had a small loss and no stall so this wasn't the worst decision but obviously not suitable alternates to dried chicken breast and cabbage!
Today I tried a little experiment and I am interested to see how it works out. I have read on the forums that someone else has tried or toyed with the idea of trying 0% greek yogurt as a protein, so today I decided to try it! I have an extremely long day on campus on Monday and Wednesdays with no refrigerator or good way to store food but there is a grocery store across the street from the college. I went to just get an apple but when my friend went for the yogurt I thought what the heck I will give it a try! If this works it may be my go to on long campus days, I am a little nervous to see what tomorrow will bring!

Weekend Recap VLVD 5&6
Sat -0.4 Sunday -1.2! I went a little rouge on Friday which explains the the small loss on Saturday. I have been a model p2 citizen on Saturday and Sunday despite social pressures. That is my problem with this diet, it is really hard to come up with excuses why I am not eating or drinking when out with friends.

VLCD 4
I should be doing homework but I decided it was time to do some sprucing up of the old blog! I am feeling a little better today, still snifflely and overall gross but better! I am -1 today!
Is it greedy to feel like I should have a bigger loss this early in the game? Could be part of being sick but I am a little curious about the chicken sausage I had for dinner last night. The only ingredients in it is chicken, spinach, and garlic- it is all natural and has no casing. I know it was going a little rouge but I figured it was about the same as ground chicken and so yummy pan fried in a touch of chicken stock!

R3VLCD 3
Very low calorie is in full swing! I had a dream last night about smearing chocolate cake on a melba toast...
Down -2.4 today! I had a feeling a good loss was coming, I sure peed enough yesterday! I had classes from 8am-noon yesterday and then a break until my test at 3:30, I would have liked to stay on campus and studied but I drove home to have lunch. That is my one problem I have with this diet, eating on the run is nearly impossible! I had an apple for breakfast, mini meatloaf for lunch, grilled chicken with a touch of balsamic vinaigrette, and 2 roasted roma tomatoes with basil, and a grapefruit . I had never thought of roasting the tomatoes before but they were delish and supper easy! Slice in half, top with garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh basil, pop in oven for 30 minutes at 400 and enjoy!
The bad news is today I woke up with a cold :( I am drinking a lot of tea and having grapefruit as my fruit, any suggestions on anything else I can do? I am afraid to take anything, I stop taking my vitamins during P2 so that probably isn't helpful.

R3 VLCD 2
Down -1.4 today, I am surprised I am down anything since I feel like a blimp! I normally wear between a 6 and an 8 in pants but today I am wearing my 10's! Thank you TOM! I also don't know how accurate that is because my roommate was in the bathroom this morning.... during my shower time! So by the time she finished I had to wash my face and run out the door. I was a little pissed, I really could of used a shower today! I didn't weigh until 1pm after I had eaten an apple and drank my water and coffee.. I guess I will just have to see what tomorrow brings!
On the menu yesterday was 6 strawberries, a mini meatloaf made with 4% ground beef and melba toast, "chicken nuggets" 100g of chicken baked with melba toast, steamed cabbage, an apple, and chai tea with 1tbs of milk.

I'm back!
Sitting here drinking water and trying to decide if I want an apple or
strawberries, yep P2 has officially begun! I am actually a little
excited, I need to clean up my diet and get down closer if not a little
below goal weight. This is technically my third round but my last round
was a completely disaster full of medical problems and cheats, I think I
lost 4 pounds the whole round! Refrigerator stocked with apples chicken
and cabbage, lets do this!

Mental health break
I am alive! I decided that since I am starting a round on September 3rd that I needed a mental holiday from the obsessing and constant weighing. I haven't weighed in a week and it is still in the back of my mind but I am just trying to enjoy. I feel like I am staying the same, my clothes still fit the same, I have become for conscious about my belly but I feel like it has been that way since I added back in carbs.
Dont worry I will go back to updating frequently when I start P2

yep.. still P4
Yeah.. So I think I spent all of yesterday pooping.. supper gross I don't know what was wrong with my stomach! I suspect some of it might be that I am allergic to cashews and I didn't realize they were hidden in my nut clusters I was eating. By the time dinner rolled around I wanted bread to help my sick tummy so I had an open faced turkey sandwich. Down -2.4 today!
I have been feeling kinda fat recently, its so funny because I know I have lost 30 pounds but some days I don't feel like I haven't lost anything! I still feel supper self concision about my belly fat. I took measurements for the first time in about a month and I am exactly the same on my arms and chest, down .8 on my thighs, but up half an inch on my hips, 1 inch on my waist and 2 inches in my bust. Its funny how everything reportions itself when my weight stays exactly the same!
I think I am going to do another round after September 3rd. Hopefully that will be good timing because I will be settled into a school schedule and I cant think of any big celebrations.

The self doubt monster
I am 1.6 over LDW today, not surprised though.. I think my diet yesterday consisted of mostly cupcakes and cookies :( I am living by the be good through the week manta so I can correct all the bad things I do over the weekend. I am learning to take it easy on myself because I have learned with a couple of days of good eating I will always drop right back to where I was!
The self doubt monster is creepy back up today and I considering if I need to do another round. I have been so confident lately about my body and where I am, plus the supper hunky guy didnt hurt, but today I look at my little muffin top over my junior size 7 shorts and wonder if I need to loose more? I have a feeling this will always be an ongoing thing... right now is a horrible time to start a round anyways maybe I will consider it when the school year starts.
