And here I go on my R5!!! Wow! I can hardly believe that I have got this far, lol. I know I'm not one of those that can do long rounds so I fully expected it to take me 6 rounds to get to my goal. So far I would say I'm right on track.
Load days....Like usual, I loaded hard. I tried to keep track so I could record exactly how many calories and grams of fat I was taking in but lost count when I hit supper on the first day. It was a special Swedish favorite and I have no idea just how much was in it. LOTS!!! It is made with potatoes, cooked in bacon grease and butter only to be topped with more bacon grease/butter, bacon bits, and sour cream. This dish is loaded! Before I got to that I was well over 450g of fat and about 50000 calories. I started the day with bacon, eggs, and my usual cup of 18% cream (usual for load days that is, lol!) and a raisin tart. I ate mixed nuts throughout the day. Lunch was more bacon and a blizzard (cookie dough with added chocolate flakes). I also had a Timmie's extra large with 3 cream and 3 honey crullers. I ate all these slowly! Don't try to eat full meals in a single sitting. Few bites here...few bits there....spread it out so that you are eating a little of something every 15 minutes type idea. I finished the day with rice pudding that I made with whipping cream.....I wish I had not just learned how to do that one! Man was it good!
I thought I did damage after that day....I kid you not....TMI but I did not go to the bathroom once that day....just pee! I had to see what I weighed at the end of the day and I was up 8lbs! It was pretty depressing so I don't recommend doing this, lol! The next morning I was up only 5lbs so that made me feel a bit better...still kinda freaky since I don't normally gain so much loading. I pulled myself together and set to work again.
Load day 2 consisted of Timmie's breakfast. I had a sausage/egg on a biscuit, hash browns, coffee with 3 cream and a honey cruller. Lunch was pretty close in time to breakfast so I met my brother who was on a steak day for a latte. I figured that was good timing since I didn't want to eat a bunch in front of him while he is focusing on water! LOL I hit Ava Maria's (local health food store) and picked up a 100g of raw macadamia nuts. There is 116% of your daily fat needs in that little bag! These tasty morsels were the focus of my load for the day. I'd pop a couple in my mouth ever half hour or so in the mix of everything else. I was finally able to eat a bit more come supper time and I went, as promised to myself, to Boston Pizza for my favorite BP Royal pizza and chicken wings. I had them do extra cheese too. This was also my evening snack with some nacho and cheese to finish the day.
UGH! Do I need say more????
My total load gain is 7.2lbs! (I actually thought it was going to be more after the 5lbs on the first day). My LDW from R4 was 169lbs. I maintained but binged a bit on the night before loading which landed me on 172 the morning of my first load day. This morning....179.2lbs (EEK!) It is what it is!
Time to focus on vlcd and plenty of water to flush my system as fast as I can. I am going to finish today with a smooth move tea as I feel like everything is 'stuck' in me! I feel pumped about this round! Summer is around the corner!!! Let's do this!
Cheers!
