A Steak Day that Worked

My weight creeped up again (I'm now using 231 as my unofficial LIW) and so I did a steak day to get it back down from just over 233, and lo and behold it worked! This was on tuesday, one of the more stressful days I've had over the last month and I wasn't sure I'd be able to hang on until dinner time. Thank goodness for tea, both iced and hot. I think I drank several gallons over the course of the day to keep me going! I was actually down to 230.4, but by Wednesday, had returned to my ubiquitous 231. I guess this is just where my body wants to be for now, and the low 230s is definitely a 'plateau' point for me, where I spent most of my 20s. Dr. Simeons says it can take time to get past a plateau, so I am sure my next round (scheduled to begin next Wednesday, and not a moment too soon) will go slower than my crazy Round 2 did. I'm actually hoping it does, that precipitous loss of 27lbs in just over 3 weeks was a little scary and definitely took a toll on my voice. I know I'm beginning this round much earlier than Simeon's advises, for immunity issues, but I think that since I only did a 23 injection round and I did skip an injection every week, I should be all right. If I encounter immunity issues, I will definitely stop, but again, that particular bridge isn't even on the horizon yet. I really can't wait to begin again.
