Oh, and wine can't forget the wine. Ha ha ......

Was LIW +3 before yesterday's eating, and no, I'm not freaking out, just working the program. The scale will drop eventually, or it won't. And if it doesn't, I'll move to plan B. Which is P2++ for me, no nuts which would probably be better overall. Or one ounce at a time, not the nutfest I did yesterday LOL.

What is P2++?

Sounds like you are aware of what causes you trouble (nuts, wine etc) so a Clean DD should do you good.

I came into this day with intetions of eating just meat and maybe some veggies but I threw that out the window when I was giving my son a pumpkin muffin and somehow half of it ended up in my belly.

I really need to get it together. I mean, it's not terribly to slowly introduce a few carbs in preparation for P4 even though I intend to do P4 low carb anyway but since I'm over my window I really need to GET IT TOGETHER>

Oh well. We'll see ....

How did you like the coffee??? Inquiring minds...

As far as the food sensitivities go, I think I heard something a while back that if you didn't eat anything crazy that would cause you to be holding on to a lot of "bulk" (lots of pasta or rice or something), and just had a small indulgence, you were looking for a gain of ~2.0 pounds to indicate a sensitivity. I don't think 0.6 would indicate anything so yay for eggs!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All right ladies...'fess up time for me. I gave in to emotional eating yesterday as well as a bit of a blood sugar craving (gotta get me some cinnamon and try that out on the morning afters, Dawn!). I didn't eat a lot of junk--all low carb--but I ate a LOT--thinking in the 4000-5000 calorie range comprised of bp coffee, chicken thighs, apples, whipped cream mousse, and yes, an entire JAR of peanut butter! (Oh peanut butter, how I love thee! ) Add that on to 5 days in Mexico, Friday night concert (and drinks) and Saturday night dinner out which included some polenta, some dessert, and MORE drinks, and I was kinda terrified to get on the scale this morning. I bit the bullet though and am not surprised to find myself 4.4 over LIW and 2.4 over my window. That said, I'm pretty sure that I'll see a decent drop to under 145 with a few days of clean eating--high fat, low carb--so I am not too displeased with this weight. My goal is really to keep it under 145 so I'm just gonna work at getting back there, then see what I need for getting back in my window.

Hiya to everyone else!

What does the collective brain trust think about retiring the September thread and starting an October thread???

@reddy, P2++ is basically like P2 BUT with twice the portions and a few more meat choices and add breakfast of eggs/bacon, add a few healthy fats, mix salads, veggies, a few more lower starch veggies, one fruit a day, very little if any cheese, dairy NO NUTS LOL......

Thanks! I think I'll be ok. Gonna add them again tomorrow and see. I was encouraged the BP coffee was yummy! I was hungry shortly after, so tomorrow I will up the butter a bit more and see how it goes.

Hiya to everyone else!

Given it was a whole weekend, that's really not bad. And you know it'll be back down soon enough! you've got this .

Dawn- I think that's a good plan. I'm sure your body has been waiting for some more fat!

Marie-sound like you're doing a nice clean DD. I tend to overdo it on choc covered goodies too .

Reddy-pumpkin muffins? That's some crazy temptation!! I try to avoid unnecessary dangers . Any damage will only be temporary. If you keep it clean the rest of today, you may get a pleasant surprise tomorrow. At least it was only half .

Doing well today. After bfast I reweighed. I know. Never do that! But, I was actually below this mornings weight. bodes well!

Softball game tonight! I hope we win again. Way more fun!

All righty then...here we go! A new October thread!
