Well this round appears to have been a complete bust. Not at all what I was hoping. I stalled in the first week for crying out loud! I am not even sure how that happens.
At least my first round I was seeing results to keep me motivated and on the 500 calorie plan. Without results, in fact gaining while following plan was just beyond frustrating.
How could I possibly GAIN? As a result I cheated more times than I care to count this round. Not due to hunger but sheer frustration and just ate what I wanted out of spite. It's whatever. I did manage to lose 8 pounds and about 5 inches this round, but nothing like first round. If I can stay under 220 until next round, I will be happy!
I was planning on a short round anyway so I would be P3 for 4th of July weekend. I will just have to do better next round.
At some point I should probably see an endocrinologist about my thyroid. I do not care that other Drs have tested me a gazillion times and say I am in normal range. All of my body symptoms tell me otherwise. I mean seriously, how does one gain on 500 calories a day?!
Oh well! P3 will be fine. Other than a couple days I know I will consume more carbs, I will be on plan. Another round will happen at some point, hopefully when there is less happening around here, or at least I have less people to cook meals for. It's really no fun when I have to cook real meals for the family and then I look at my P2 meal...not cool.

Houseguests, Baseball and Graduation
It's been one heck of a time over here! My father in law came to visit for close to a month. This way he could see the last bit of his grandson's high school baseball career as well as his high school graduation. We typically have a lot of snacks on hand for him. Due to chemo etc, he has had a difficult time gaining and keeping weight on. Lots of snacks for him, along with his favorite ice cream that he is unable to get at home.
The baseball season went longer than anyone expected! They just kept winning. They won District, they won Region and went on to play at the State Tournament for the first time in 15 years! There was a LOT of baseball to be had, which meant lots of concession stands and dining out while on the road. Add to that TOM came to visit, then SIL from Vegas came to visit as well. Lots and lots of dining out, then GRADUATION!
With all that going on, it's no wonder I gained. While I did try to make good choices MOST of the time, I did consume bites of this and bites of that; which were full on carby goodness that I had no business consuming!
So my LDW was 217.4, I maintained at about 219-222 give or take, which I was okay with.
No worries, it will be gone before I know it! I'd like to break into ONE-derland this round, but we'll see. To just get under 200 would be magickal.
Round 2 P2 VLCD 0 - 224.2
