Day 7 VLCD

What a great day we're off to! Weigh in brought a 1.6 loss... to 169.8 hmm, more curry n mustard dip today I promise! Tom is still here so obviously he's overpowered by me kicker lol! Over the past couple of days something 'odd', 5 rounds on p2 and here I am thinking ohh.... I want some almonds, oops, not on p2, kk some rinds... hmm... nope, um... damn, what the hell can I eat! then the end of the night and oops, forgot a fruit! It's amazing how quickly we settle into p3 and it made me think how easily we can settle into old routine... so keep your drive alive, continue to remind yourself every day of where you came from and where you're going and in that journey you will never lose sight of the blessing that is you! I do not follow the original P&I as my doctor's protocol allows for both cauliflower and broccoli... I have had great losses with using both, however I do use them sparingly. I have tried Walden Farms dressings and dips and with having enough rounds to gauge the differences, I can say that we are all different. Just as some of us cannot do coconut oil, some of us cannot have dairy, some are vegan, and some use alternate plans... I do use lotions and conditioners sparingly, and to be honest, I chose this path for myself... if my weight loss takes a little bit longer, that is ok with me as it also allows my skin to tighten up, my level of stress to be at a minimum, and my daily enjoyment with cracked heels, food variety, and pocket book savings to be as well. Find what works for you and as you change your lifestyle, please make sure that it is something that will last... because you love it, not because you are finding new ways to 'control' an aspect of your life...

Day 6 VLCD

What a great day, up and weighing at 171.4, I'll take it! Plan for today is to enjoy the 76 degree weather and find the perfect gift for a special someone... Golf Clubs! Surprised myself and bought his and her sets! Low and behold Tom is still here, tho good news, there's movement!! Oh glorious days! I decided to try a new sauce for my chicken n veggies, curry n mustard powder with a tbs of water, then a couple of drops of stevia... just wow... simply heaven, the perfect spicy sweet kick. I love hot mustard, sweet n sour, even wasabi and this was the perfect combination of the three. Let's see how tomorrow brings release with this kicker! Sweet dreams and happy releases!
