This hasn't been easy

Been having difficulties with P3. I honestly just think I went over board. I did so well on VLCD that I thought this will be a breeze. WRONG!! I have had a slow steady gain then poof I was up by 3lbs. Ok so I had to get this figured out. Why was this happening?

My husband suggested it was the weight training combined with the tanning. The weight training, to build my strength back up, would cause water to retain around the muscles causing a gain. The heavy tanning an slight burn here an there would cause water weight as well. So he told me to stop the weight training all together even though I whined about it. He told me to stick strictly to cardio. I complained about not wanting to get flabby an all but he said I was ok to do my crunches that was it. He told me I would just have to deal with it for the time being an he would help me tone an shape once I am done completely. So I dropped the weights.

Steak day? well normally but I still don't like the idea of all that meat sitting in my colon. So I figured I would modify it my way. I don't recommend this to ANYONE!!! Follow the plan as given, I'm just a weirdo an have to do things my way LOL Yesterday I had a fairly large hamburger pattie with cheese an a small side salad. I had a handful of mixed cheese chunks last night before bed. I was down by 1.2lbs today. Today I will do a steak day but instead of eating it at night having it sit there I will eat it around 12-1 so that I have time to burn it. We'll see how that works.

I've learned that nuts are not a good idea right off the bat on P3. Ham to me is not a great thing, I seem to gain. Yes it was real ham not processed an no sugar. So it will be a once an while thing. Once I drop it back down I will stick to leaner meats an fish. Get back to some more salads that help cleanse out. We'll see how it goes from there.

Till then I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Happy losing everyone

HEY EVERYONE

Lets see its been a busy couple of days. I started with no drops on the 31 I stuck to the VLCD diet an the next day was down by .07 of a pound. I also worked out fully. Even using the treadmill. I can't believe how weak I became while on the diet. My legs were yelling at me on the treadmill an I couldn't use near the weights I had prior. It's all good though cause my 16yr old daughter started the gym with me for the very first time. Getting her started on a healthier lifestyle so she will never have to do this. She's thin anyways just flabby from not working out. But that will all change. I still stuck to VLCD on day 2 no drops

I was down 1.4lbs to make a total of 32lbs gone. *SNOOPY DANCE* yesterday was day 3 of no drops. I decided to give some new foods a try. Per Red Book...if on the 3rd day you wake up an are truly starving the HCG should be out of your system an you can start P3. On the way back from the Vets I stopped at Whataburger *best hamburgers in the south* Got a breakfast on a bun. They use real eggs not that boxed stuff. I threw away the bun an had just the egg an sausage since the cheese melted to the bun. LOL I do believe I sucked on each piece of sausage. I layed out an used tanning oils. For dinner I had a talapia fillet. Didn't weigh it cause most of the frozen packet fillets are between 85-115grams. After 30 days of this I had those weights down pat. I also had 2 scoops using a tablespoon of blackeyed peas. OMG THEY WERE SO GOOD!!! I ate each pea individually. I do believe they tasted better than they had in my life. LOL Really does give you a new appreciation for food. I also had one small bite of a pork chop that had been coated in italian bread crumbs an fried in olive oil. I know it was a no no but I really just wanted a taste.

This morning I woke up an was up .04lbs. Not bad I'm feeling good about it all. Today is gym day again so the treadmill should take care of that. Have to do grocery shopping today. I will get more fresh meats an frozen veggies. We eat a lot of fish here so I'll still be having that quite often. Gotta have my omega 3 an oils. Good for the heart, hair an skin. Not to mention to lower cholesterol. Which mine is perfect was even before the diet. I credit that to the fish, garlic an other fresh herbs we use quite often. We had changed our diet well over a year ago in a attempt to eat healthier. An it really showed in all my blood tests cause I was the healthiest fat person around. LOL My husband says I should probably still see some weight loss here an there because my metabolism is now working. I know we are so suppose to maintain our loss but I have more rounds to go. An if I am losing it in the right way from exercise an eating right then I see no harm in it. An hubby agrees. *side note* Why do I mention what he says, if you are new an haven't seen what I wrote about him. He is massively into fitness. In fact when he is out of town working *travels the country staying on jobs 6-9mths at a time* that's all he does is exercise. LOL He is constantly reading an talking to people he meets at the gyms he goes to in different towns. He's talked to pro builders an pro trainers. The man is in awesome shape for 42yrs old. He knows what he is talking about.

Well that brings you up to date. I will try to be more regular with my updates on P3 so it won't be so long. So far it's overcast unless it burns off I won't be tanning today. Dang it, starting to get good color. Maybe start tanning bed then. I needs my tan!!! Let ya know how things go.

As always if you need any help or have a question feel free to ask here or message me on facebook. I'm always willing to help if I can.

Oopsie Rolls

A few have asked what they are. They are mock bread for those of us on P3. They are not bad at least gives you something you can chew LOL I've heard of people making them into muffins with fruit an one who tried it as pizza crust. Never heard how that one came out.

Here's the recipe:

Oopsie rolls:

6 large eggs
2 tsp stevia
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tarter
8 oz cream cheese (not softened)

preheat over to 300

separate eggs and add stevia, salt and cream cheese to yolks mix
in separate bowl mix egg whites and cream of tarter till stiff (mix whites 1st if using the same mixer for both)
using a spatula gradually fold egg yolk mix into the white mix. Be careful not to break down whites.
Spray cookie sheet pan with none stick cook spray. make 12 rounds of mix on pan and flatten slightly
bake 30 min

I personally added 2 packs of truvia to it. Gave it a much better taste to me but if you like stevia have at it.

REMEMBER THIS IS ONLY FOR P3!!!
