A Steak Day Already

Grrrr, again!

Well, I finished injections on Wednesday, with an LIW (Last-Injection-Weight) of 212.6. Super, great. On Thursday and Friday, I did notice the scale bounced around a bit--212.0 on thurs, but 213 on fri. Yesterday, Saturday, the first day of my Phase 3 eating, I weighed in at 213.6, one pound up, but still a full pound below the Steak Day Red Alert marker. I had a really busy day yesterday, didn't drink anywhere near enough water and ended up 1. having a couple celebratory drinks for my last day at my restaurant job and b. being REALLY hungry by the time I got home at midnight and eating a late snack. Consequently, I was up to 216.6 this morning! ARRRRRGH! 4 pounds above my LIW, and this early on in Phase 3. Just don't do it folks, don't think you can cheat Dr. Simeons's requirements! It ain't gonna work! I am living, ashamed, proof.

So, I'm steaking it today, and I've bought a second steak JUST IN CASE. It's going to be hard the next few days with people wanting to say goodbye and going out for dinner/coffee/drinks to do so. It's really easier to handle that stuff when I'm on the VLCD phase and completely locked into the diet. I'm just going to have be very dull and live with seltzer water and herbal teas until I am SURE I am stabilized. I absolutely REFUSE to endure the gains this round that I allowed myself to put on in previous rounds. I am going to do it right.

On the happier side of things, I inaugurated P3 yesterday at lunch with an absolutely divine filet mignon, cooked bleu, with a delicious mushroom sauce, french green beans and asparagus. Heavenly. Just wish I hadn't blown it with those late night drinks and snacks. Oh, and by the way, nothing I ate yesterday was 'off plan' except the drinks. Just goes to show how careful we must be.

Humbly and hungrily, I bid you goodbye and return to my packing.
