Time For Another Round!

Yep! It's time for another round. I never did get back down to that illusive 216. Instead I went the other way! O-o Yep, damn sure did; up to 230. This is my starting weight for technically round 3 or round 2 mulligan! 

I am 5 days into it; so VLCD5. Instead of doing Simeons original version, I am doing HCG 2.0 version by  Dr. Zach LaBoube. His version makes sense to me, so I am going for it. Essentially, your calories are calculated from your BMR (basal metabolic rate), you consume no more than 30 carbohydrates total not net, you can have more proteins and a variety of veggies that you are allowed to mix. *gasp*  :)    You can learn more about 2.0 from his site as well as his book.

As of VLCD5, I have lost 6.4 pounds. That's an average of 1.28lbs per day. Not too shabby! The losses will taper down this next week. Average daily loss for females is generally a half pound per day on HCG; either plan. Even though he recommends not weighing every day, I just HAD to this first week to see my big losses! 

Getting closer to getting out of the 200's. First let's get the hell out of the 220's again...and STAY THERE!  :)

P3 and the 4th of July Weekend

After chalking up the last round as a failure; I moved on to Phase 3 (P3). I got as low as 216, but seemed to stay at 219. So I guess that's what I will call my last round weight. Like I said, a round of fail. I think as much as I wanted to lose more weight right away after round one, my body and mind just weren't feeling it.  That's okay, live and learn.

Gained a bit over the weekend. I totally expected to as we went to St Louis to see my husband's fave team play. I refuse to 'diet' while we are on vacation, no matter how short the vacay is. We saw a couple good games, wandered St Louis and ate some good food, I had an actual margarita, as well as ballpark food of course! We had a great time and that's ALL that matters.

Now that we are back home I am back to P3 foods. I was even considering doing an egg fast to get the weekend weight off quickly. I'll see how I feel after today. 

The sooner I get back to 216-219 the better I will feel. I mean, yeah, the round was a fail, but I'd still like to keep off what little I did manage to get rid of.
