No weight today
Power out all morning, couldn't weight myself. Just about to head to bed... Yesterday scale said 134. Here's hoping for even lower tomorrow- 55lbs down and counting!

R3P2 VLCD12:-.2
Current Weight 139.6
Daily Loss .2 (painful to lose so little!)
R3 Starting Weight 145.9
Loss this round 6.5
Total loss to date 49.4
Still no cheating going on, and still no loss going on. Gained .2 yesterday and lost .2 today. Ugh! While I'm reminding myself to be gentle, thanks to yesterday's reflections (thanks for all your great comments!), this week has already been a bear, and I was really hoping for some scale love this morning. The unreliable scale in the bathroom read 137, and I was all WOOT! WOOT!, and then my trusty Wii Fit tossed me back into reality.
Funny, this round, Ive been a little depressed. Hormones must be a-flying. The last two rounds I was filled with peace and calm, and this time, all I want to do is jump out of the window. Last night during my yoga class I zoned out in meditation, and that was wonderful, and let me release a lot of stress, but I jumped right back in this morning. The kids were screaming, lots of noise, hubby was annoyed, and it was a little startling to my psyche, which wanted to bliss out again in all the quiet and peace of last night.
Tonight is my first book club on this round, and Im seriously thinking of enjoying the treats that will be laid out before me, especially as my fatalistic thinking is reminding me that my yoga training this weekend is going to set me back anyway. At least I skipped at the amazing looking goodies at a co-workers bridal shower yesterday. I even resisted (it was HARD!) bringing home treats for the boys since I knew they would be too tempting for me (and really, do I need to give them all that sugar. I know better than that!).
Have any of you stopped before the 23 days? If so, what happened? Did the gain everything back and more fear come to be realized? Obviously, Ill do the no sugar no starch thing for 3 weeks, but I really want to eat more veggies, and mix them, and eat more food, so Im thinking of stopping now. This round the food portions seems so small and insufficiently filling. And I have at least 11 more days to go. With lots of stress and work and feeling overwhelmed with everything on my plate right now, Im not sure what to do.
Help!

R3P2D10 : -1.1
Current Weight 139.6 (YAY, 130s!!!!!!!!!!)
Daily Loss 1.1
R3 Starting Weight (after loading) 145.9
Total Loss this round: 6.5lb
Total Loss to date: 49.4lbs
Sat weight 140.2
Sunday Weight 140.7
I made it to the 130s, finally, a goal I have had since January!!!!! I will reach the 50lb lost mark HOPEFULLY tomorrow...I have .6 to go. Boy, what a journey. I'm continuing to struggle with hunger and food cravings this round, and to top it off, every night I dream of food (and then wake up thinking I have cheated). This is definitely my hardest round yet. But Im choosing to continue working out, and I know that is probably affecting me, as is my attitude. Two more weeks to go at the minimum...just keep breathing, Kelly.
Yesterday was a blast! I did my warrior dash, a 3.15 mile course with 13 obstacles (like jumping over fire, and wading through chest deep FREEZING water and having to jump over logs, and crawling through mud under barbed wire), and we finished in about 45 minutes. I went with a girlfriend of mine (see the pic posted yesterday) who was such a trooper. She hasn't run in a long time, has bronchitis and yesterday TOM arrived for her (and no I didnt force her to go :)). So I call her the ultimate warrior. We stuck together for support, which was great, and ended up crossing the finish line holding hands. So cool...Thanks Pam. You ROCK!
After she drunk her disgusting beer (her words), we watched a few of the bands, cleaned off a little, and headed home. Three hours of driving for a two hour event. After I got home, I fell asleep for two hours immediately after finishing my shower (and almost fell asleep in there). I was so exhausted. Hubby finally dragged me out of bed at 4:30pm since we had dinner plans.
We went to Ted's Montana Grill for dinner with hubby's parents, who were celebrating their wedding anniversary (40+ yrs), and I enjoyed a 4 oz filet with some asparagus and tomatoes (it was actually 8 ozs, and it was SO HARD to not finish the whole thing). I mixed my veggies, and still lost, yay! The kids were good (ie no one ended up crying, including me) and we had a very nice time. Please join me in wishing congrats to my Mom and Dad in laws for reaching such an amazing milestone. Here's to many more blessing filled, awe-inspiring, love fest filled years for you two!
And here's to my reaching another amazing milestone tomorrow.
ps tomorrow is the EXPOSED anniversary for Mish at EatingJourney.com. If you remember, I exposed myself earlier this year, and made known all the reasons why I love my body so. So tomorrow, Im going to do it again, in honor of Mish's anniversary, and my amazing journey. I invite you to join me! You can also link to this website if you do it.

R3P2D6- VLCD D4- .2 loss
Current Weight 146
Starting weight after loading 145.9
Daily Loss .2
Sat weight -.4: 145.5
Sunday Weight +.7: 146.2 (too much yoga! )
Wow, am I tired and sore from my first yoga teacher training weekend. Obviously, no real loss here. Im still up .1 from loading, and 2.5 from my R2 LIW. I was definitely hoping to see more movement, but I bet Im holding onto a lot of water, and Im probably finally hydrated after all those weeks of diet soda dehydration. Either way, I feel good, no bloating, (no cheating), and Im on track to go at least 23 days.
I havent been hungry really yet, though I am definitely having cravings. Not for any food in general, just for more food, and the freedom to eat whatever I want. I threw away a donut this morning, since my son didnt want it-and boy was that hard. I also gave my favorite guacamole to my friend Meliss yesterday since it would go bad before my round is over, and I would have loved that too. And there's Naked Juice in the frig that I love that I thought the kids would finish this weekend when I was at training, but no...so Im going to have to convince Hubby to drink it when he gets back tomorrow. Not having the scale move, even though I understand why, really makes my rebel inner child want to eat. Ill get through it, Im sure.
Im sticking with my basic menu today as I have for these last few days: chicken salad and P2 chili (which will be especially good with the chill thats in the air). My son is off from school today, so Im going to try to get all my work done early and then play with him later, in addition to going to the grocery store. The real test will be this afternoon, when I plan to make everyone's breakfasts and lunches for the rest of the week...Im going to need to do that very soon after eating lunch (or maybe after dinner) to ensure the cravings dont knock me out.
On the exercise front, this week will be a combo of running and yoga. I have the warrior dash this Sunday and want to be prepared for it. So today Ill run, Tues yoga, Wed run, Thur yoga, Friday run, Sat yoga, and race on Sunday. We'll see what that does to my weight. I know the protocol says to stick to your regular workout schedule and not add anything, but this is my experiment. I wanted to do a round one last time before the year end, and this is really the only time I had where it wouldnt interfere with the holidays. I'm happy at my current weight, but would love to get down lots more, since I still have those fun fat rolls (in my back and under my arms too, whats that about) and a little muffintop, and no wiggle room if I gain. And its a way to really challenge all my food addiction tendancies...this diet gives them a real kick in the pants, and for that, its great! Wish me luck!
And where are all my round buddies out there? How are you guys doing?
