R2P2D2

First, an apology to the person who asked for an update awhile ago. Your comment just showed up today for the first time. For some reason they aren't getting posted on my blog quickly. All comments seem to be at least a week behind at this point.

I got tired of blogging during the P3 stage because really, nothing was going on! My weight only fluctuated mildly and as you saw, by the last day I was only 1/10 of a pound over LIW. I was really impressed by that.

So, here I am on day 2 of phase 2 and yesterday I was trying to load. I ate breakfast from Jack in the Box. I ordered a sandwich that I ended up giving the last couple of bites to my son and spit the last of it into my napkin. I couldn't gag it down. I was "full". For lunch we went to a favorite Mexican restaurant. I ordered a chimi and couldn't choke down more than 1/3 of it. I ate another 1/3 of it last night for dinner. I guess I'll have the last 1/3 of it for breakfast. My stomach has done some serious shrinking since on this diet and it becomes physically uncomfortable to eat the quantities I use to put away without a second thought.

During the past 3 weeks while I have been eating more normal I was surprised that my weight didn't really go up and that it came right back down. I look in the mirror and am pleased with the body I see. When my niece was visiting she made dinner. She included bread and pasta which I ate in moderation. I noticed my weight go up 3 pounds and then when she left it was gone right away. OK, to be fair, the 3 pounds could have come from the cheesecake she served.... But like I said, I ate it in moderation and was able to rebound back to a lower weight very quickly. I don't recommend that for everyone, she was just so excited to make dinner for her cousins and auntie I didn't want to disappoint her!

So now I will try to get back to daily blogging and weekly measurements starting next Saturday. Have a Happy Fathers Day!
