R3P2D9 (-4.4)
I've been behind on my blog as there hasn't been much to report. I have been in a stall for 3 days now and I'm giving it until tomorrow before I do an apple day. Yesterday I went through everything I have done these last few days and here are my suspects for the stall: 1) Stress; it is well known that stress releases cortisone which just happens to occupy the same receptors as hCG. It acts as a counter measure and basically makes the process cancel itself out. So, I am focusing some of my time on meditations to release the inner conflicts. It will be a couple weeks until the real conflicts will come to a head so I have to work hard not to let this hold me back. Life is full of challenges and the best route is to take them on full steam. 2) Coconut Oil; while I tried evco on the first round and stalled, I thought I would give it another try and that is when the stall started. I already committed to not try this again. My body does not agree that this is a freebie like many others can do on vlcd. 3) Hot Tub scented oils (OOPS!); Yes, we bought a hot tub! Yay! It is very nice and I will continue to use it but minus the nice smelly stuff that is obviously not protocol friendly. When the guy set it up he did everything for chemicals and added the oil before I even knew. I'll give it a couple more days to wear off (he said it lasts about 3 days) before I climb in again. 4) Previous set weight; I know that I spent about 2 years hovering around 180-185lbs so perhaps my body is reluctant to let go of this comfort zone.
I've got this! I know how to break down the possible causes and work my way through the problems. I'm certain the scale is going to start jumping down soon and I look forward to having that renewed motivation when it does.
Today's menu includes chicken salad for lunch and I'm doing a bison 'chili' for supper. I think I'll do 85 grams of the bison as that is what the good Doc recommends for red meat. I've cut out the melba until the stall breaks. Hope everyone is releasing well and I'll let you know if I'm doing my first apple day tomorrow.
Cheers!
