Today’s weight 147.0
Overnight Loss of 0.0 lbs

-.8 UNDER LIW

My weight is the same today as yesterday, which is good. Yesterday’s was .8 below LIW from Sunday. So I’ve got a good start for my break. And this morning………… P2-er’s beware, I’m going to talk FOOD! This morning I had eggs with sautéed onions and cheese sprinkled on top. And some cantaloupe and watermelon slices too! Besides my trip to Macayo’s on Mother’s Day, the breakfast is what I’ve been looking forward to the most. And yes, it was delish. I plan to have basically the same types of food that I’ve been eating on P2, except that I’ll have more of it, and mix the veggies and have salad dressing on my salads! And the nuts! I’ll try not to go nuts with the nuts… But ya gotta love ‘em as a great source of healthy fat and a way to keep calories high enough to meet your daily calorie needs. Which for me, is 1864. I’ve gone down in the number of calories needed for two reasons. One, of course is because I weigh less, but the other reason is that during P2, I have a lower activity level so I multiply by BMR by 1.375 instead of the 1.55 I use for a higher activity level.

So Lili, That’s where you’ve been. I just took a minute to go read your blog so I could see what you’ve been up to! Glad the break worked for you. I’m hoping to be at goal by the time I go to Orlando on the 23rd. But if not, I’ll just take another break!

Mary, I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about that big lug TOM any more! You have my sympathy…

Biz, if I wasn’t almost done with the protocol I would totally try out your cycling plan. It makes a lot of sense to me. And my daughter reached her goal last week but kept on protocol to try to get all the abnormal fat gone. She still sees a little on her tummy. But the weight is not going down any more. She’s basically just sculpting now, but she is quitting this week. I’m trying to get her to do your bootcamp for P3 to help her stabilize at this weight/size…

Jan, OMG the crab legs sound great too! You can have butter with them! Mmmmm. Maybe we should do that on Saturday since I didn’t really get a special birthday dinner… Any excuse, right? And yes you posted yesterday. It’s still there… The comments for yesterday stay under yesterday’s post… Works a little different than the forum…

B! You're starting on Sunday! Cool, I'll start up again on Monday and the race will be on AGAIN! I'm so close to my goal I can hardly contain myself! This last 11 pounds is going to just melt away!
