Ladies, I have love in my heart today! Did you know there is a "spiritual gene"? often called the god gene? Tangent, but I love my weight so much today so much it almost flipped that genetic switch in me! I am usually the most skeptical non-spiritual being on the planet, but today. . . lurrrrrve.



hehe sorry, that was me waxing poetic. Colleen, let me know when you need writing help



Weight down another lbd today, so I'm at 210.8, only 2.6 over LIW! Considering I had hit 6 lbds over on Saturday - this is happy making.



So on food, I've been at least 4 days without eggs or nuts - I am eyeing those nuts as a culprit. I want to see if I can remain "stable" on weight before re-introducing them. I also tracked my blood glucose on the HWC and the foods I ate the last couple of days. Fasting BG was about 77, and my high after meals was about 98. I think those are good. Tomatoes and onions didn't spike me, HWC didn't spike BG. . .and weight went down.



So now, is it crazy to want to get weight down to the 2 lbds of LIW? I'm feeling like my body needs some nutrition - but I'm thinking about doing another steak day today and see if I can move another lbd. Thoughts? Don't look gift horse in the mouth?



So, when trying to "stabalize" should I try to make it 3 weeks with out a 2+ gain over LIW?

 

I was waiting until today to answer, as I wanted to make sure I ate 2 days with no nuts (after having hidden cashews) for analysis. And lo, weight went down last two days.

 

Cashews are just plain evil. I love them but they are evil. LOL

 

Well, I've had such positive days since dropping eggs and nuts - I'm going to keep rolling with this till after vacation. I want my clothes to fit!



Today I'm at 210.4, EXACTLY 2 lbds over LIW. I feel quite good about that. Mid 3rd week post HCG round. Vaca week will be interesting. I plan on taking a big jar of CO to sip with tea through the day (and perhaps fat-fast a bit). Eggs are going to be tough, as that is the restaurant bfast staple.



I bought a designer dress and some awesome shoes to enjoy my new look. Plus, it goes with my crazy orange glasses! That I could fit in to a designer dress is amazing. The last time I wore a dress (my freakishly large calves and pregnancy look have deterred that for me) was bout 6 yrs ago when I was forced to for a wedding. I told my husband he has to get some good photos of me at a poker tourney in my crazy glasses while wearing a designer frock. Hello boys, I'm an optimal lady!

 

Love this, cavemam!! If you eat eggs, try eating them with runny yokes. The cooking of the yokes causes the inflammation. I tried some today so we shall see.

 

Thanks! so, I'm gonna wait till after vacation cause I wanna fit in my new fancy frock!

 

Up 1.2 from day before. 3.2 lbs over LIW. Doing a salmon day + fat in coffee for Bfast and Lunch.



I had a couple of big handsful of macadamia nuts yesterday - wonder if that influenced.

 

Probably. Nuts seem to be a common problem.
