R3P2D16 (-9.2) -0.6
Almost ready to do the happy dance for reaching 175lbs (I'm 175.8lbs). I know I messed up that first week with trying coconut oil again but it is time for me to put that in the past. Time to focus on mini goals and stick to the basics. Lunch today is my cucumber and chicken salad with the new Nutritional Yeast dressing. Not sure why or how I still love this combo for a meal but it works!
I have the cold hands and toes again. I almost welcome it as this is how I feel every round and have had such good success. Somehow it is linked in my brain. Cold toes=skinny me LOL I know I could take some supplements to help this but it really isn't a bother. I jump in the hot tub for a bit before bedtime and I'm all good.
This round is just flying by! If I just did a short round I would be doing the 10 day count down already....but I'm not! Hahaha I am going to do a planned interruption though. So I will complete my 21 days on the 5th. I will do 3 days elimination like usual. I will eat 500 calories on these days without drops. Then I will be on interruption from Oct. 9th until Sunday October 16th when I will resume drops and VLCD. My hopes are that I can get to ~155lbs without over straining my body by some time in early November. That would be a 30lb loss for this round but I would be happy to see 25lbs gone. This will also allow me to enjoy some turkey dinner (no mashed potatoes but still) and will help me as I'm really missing P3-4 right now. It is amazing how important it is to have your head in the game. I'm pretty sure I will only release about 12-15lbs total if I only do the 21 day round and well....I can do better. A week break and I'll be back on track. I think some people call this cycling but since I'm only doing it once I'm going by what Dr. Simeon's calls this....an interruption. Remember that you must have completed a full 21 days before this can be done as anytime earlier will mess with the reprogramming of the hypothalamus. If you have already reached a 35lbs release then give your body the full 6 weeks of Maintenance to lock in your losses. You do not have to do another 21 days after the interruption. I know I'll be hearing about this on the support group! LOL Keeping it real as always :)
Cheers!
