I sure am glad I had a little wiggle room from my last two days of vlcd. That is a little less stressful for the inevitable weight gain from the first couple of days on P3. Today I had trouble eating breakfast. I felt nauseous and could only have a few bites of my scrambled eggs. I also woke up with a headache that hung around almost the whole day. So after cleaning up the breakfast dishes I went back to bed and slept for another hour and a half! Thank goodness it was Saturday and I didn't have to go in to work. At lunchtime I was still feeling sick but I knew I needed to eat. My husband was making himself a grilled cheese and I was a little tempted to try it but just had some tomato soup instead. Could only eat about half of what I would normally have eaten. So I did some sewing and played with my grandkids for a while, then my husband and I went out and did some last minute Christmas shopping and afterwards we stopped for dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Macayo's. I can't go in that place without having their spinach con queso dip, which is to die for. Creamy and cheesy and a light fresh taste because of the pico de gallo that they use in it which consists of chopped tomato, onion, cilantro and cucumbers. And you know you can't eat the dip from a spoon, you just have to have chips with it, so yes, I had chips. (starch) And then you know, you can't have the chips and queso without a margarita to wash it down, so yes, I had a margie. (sugar) So there go the two rules of P3 down the hatch! But mmmmm, was it good. So now I wait and see the damages for tomorrow. I must say though that I ate much less than I would normally, before HCG. Just got full earlier, and I didn't feel the need to keep going once my stomach started feeling full. I actually only ate a bite or two of my main course after eating the chips and queso before our food came out. And boy was my stepson happy when we came home with two boxes of leftovers!
And because I haven't had any alcohol since I've been on P2, that one margarita was enough to keep me from driving home after dinner.
