oops

so today I am down .2lbs.  I'm actually a little surprised I'm down at all.  I didn't sleep well, I think I might have had too much water, and... I *gasp* cheated.  YES, cheated.  "Hilarious" because I just told someone yesterday morning that I hadn't cheated once, then that night I ate 11 almonds.  HAH.  I thought that it was going to turn into a binge thing but I felt completely satisfied with 11 almonds.  Entirely content.  Not eating them after that (and right now)... not a problem.  I don't want to be one of those people who cheats and then goes "I just think my body needed Chips Ahoy cookies; I think we should listen to our bodies."
BUT
I do think my body needed those almonds.  I'm not sure if it's because I'm now anemic because of/causing a month long period or if my body just wants fat.  My vote is on the anemia... next time I get a craving for almonds I'm just going to eat more beef.  And I'm going to try to take an iron supplement, if I can find one that isn't useless.

and I may take this back tomorrow or Thursday but I just have a good feeling about having eaten those almonds.  I wonder if sometimes people produce so much cortisol stressing about cheats that they gain.

inches!

this morning I was only down .2 at 138.4, but... I measured my waist and it was a whole .5 inch down from just a week ago... which means I've lost 2 inches overall.

I am 2/3rds of the way done with p2.  I have (including today's) 9 more injections and (including today) 11 more days of low calorie.  It's almost over!  I think I'll get down to 135 by the end of it... then hopefully I drop down just a little bit more so I can have lost 20 lbs.

ehhhhh

back down to 140.4 today... getting annoyed.  not going to bother posting the same picture.  meeehhhhh.  I had to eat a few bites of steak just go to bed last night... period is making me all crave-y and hungry.

the same

this period has to go away.  I'm totally bloated, and I'm not losing any weight.  today I lost ZERO pounds.  booo.

I'm going to try revisiting my menu from the first week, and I'm going to try to eat all of my allowable food, even though I don't feel like it.

NOTHING, not even a little.

slow

I lost another .4lbs but I'm really waiting for something bigger.  I realize though that I have never weighed this little (for more than a day or two) in my entire adult life and TEEN life even.  Many many many many years.  So... if my body wants to take it's time, so be it.  I have three weeks left and only about 10-15 more pounds til my goal for this round.

Anyway, short and sweet.  Today I weighed in at 144.4.  Didn't do anything off protocol yesterday except eat salsa as my vegetable at lunch and forgot to eat second fruit.  Also forgot second melba.

here comes the slowest train ever

Just took my last dose of the first mixing.  I'm 4/15ths done with p2.

not now

Down just .4 lbs today. Went to a party yesterday.  Did pretty well.
Didn't lose as well this morning though so for my own records here's what I ate yesterday:

• 1 sip of vodka/7up
• 1.75 apples
• .5 wasa cracker
• 1oz cucumber
• 1 oz of celery
• roughly 6 oz of chicken (that had touched the fat of other meats on the grill and thus, was delicious)
• 1 thumbnail size shrimp from a pasta salad (wasn't even that good)
• 2 or 3 diet 7-ups
• 1 cup of Smooth Move tea

I also TOUCHED a lot of fat as helped prepare food.  I don't really have to do anything special to fix this behavior since it's only my party behavior and I'm out of parties for the moment.  Plan on starting p3 on Oli's birthday exactly.

Oh, other changes... I didn't take a nap as I usually do and I did not sleep well AT ALL last night.  I could probably go back to sleep and lose more but there's too much shit to do today.

145lbs today.  wish it were better, glad it's not worse.
