sounds like some good food! What did they name the baby? Pics please

Potaty · 08-20-2010, 07:16 PM

They named him Owen James, meh. I liked their other choice which was Caleb, love that name! He is cute! And stupid me put my camera battery on the charger and then left the house without it!

cookie34 · 08-20-2010, 07:24 PM

Caleb is a cute name

Potaty · 08-21-2010, 11:35 AM

Good luck on the steak day!

Potaty · 08-22-2010, 08:18 AM

Yay! No steak day! 200.6 again today, whew!

cookie34 · 08-22-2010, 08:19 AM

I am happy you don't have to do it!

sassy_red · 08-22-2010, 01:42 PM

Lol I must be weird because I'm looking forward to a steak day! I'd get the thickest, juiciest thing I can find and have the Dude grill it up for me, alongside some roasted tomatoes.

Potaty · 08-22-2010, 03:14 PM

Oh, I would love steak day if that's what I got to eat all day, it's the fasting the rest of the day I wouldn't want to do!

Potaty · 08-22-2010, 05:11 PM

Today's menu:
Breakfast: strawberries and greek yogurt
Lunch: cheese chunks
Snack: coffee with HWC
Dinner: taco salad, no chips (this was soooo good!), sour cream, jalapenos
Snack: ??? not sure, probably cheese or maybe I'll make the cream cheese muffins

Really need to guzzle the water this evening to avoid the steak day tomorrow!

Wish I had a scale, I fell hard tonight.

Hopefully I can get back by Saturday when I head home... *sigh*

Glad you're staying within your LDW, keep up the great work!

Potaty · 08-25-2010, 07:26 AM

Hi Sarah, I hope you are enjoying your vacation! You'll recover quickly, I'm sure!

200.4. It really is insane how much you can eat without gaining, I am amazed!

cookie34 · 08-25-2010, 07:40 PM

Potaty.. you are lucky! I am not eating much and am gaining. I am on my second CD.

Potaty · 08-25-2010, 08:24 PM

Today's menu:
Breakfast: 2 cream cheese muffins, Americano w/ hwc
Lunch: 2 cheese stuffed portobella mushrooms
Snack: 1 cream cheese muffin
Dinner: Indonesian chicken and stir fry veggies
Snack: I am hungry right now but a little scared to eat, dinner had a lot of sodium and I really don't want a steak day..hmmm...what to do...

Note on the cream cheese muffins: They were okay. I really don't like anything made with AS, I can always taste the difference. I liked these much better cold from the fridge. Not sure I'll make them again.

cookie34 · 08-25-2010, 08:33 PM

I am going to try these when I am better stabalized.

Kandi~ Hello! I just read your post and I'm wondering if you aren't eating enough!! When I'm in P3 (weight around 180) I can eat 2500 calories without gaining. The key for me is to keep my menu at moderate protein levels and higher fat. I try to stay away from the cream cheese muffins just for the mere fact that I can't only eat just one - I have to eat all of them

Here's a typical P3 day for me.

B: two eggs scrambled with hwc in butter w/ bacon and sour cream
Snack: celery w/cream cheese
L: Big salad w/chicken, bleu cheese crumbles, and ranch dressing
Snack: hb egg
D: steak, side of broccoli w/cheese, side salad w/ranch
Snack: strawberries w/ sour cream mixed with splenda

I think you need to up your calories for a few days and see what happens.

Looks good! Try the cream cheese muffins with sugar-free strawberry preserves on - YUM.

Potaty · 08-26-2010, 11:58 AM

201.8, over LDW by .8. I am rebeling and NOT doing a CD, I just don't have it in me right now.

Potaty · 08-26-2010, 07:56 PM

Today's menu:
Breakfast: americano with hwc
Lunch: turkey chef salad with Ranch
Snack: americano with hwc
Dinner: cheese

It looks like the scale will be back down tomorrow. I have been having a very hard time with my 2 year old lately and after a very rough night/morning I just didn't have my mind straight to do a steak day. I know that's terrible of me but I tried to really be careful of what I ate today and I think it worked.

cookie34 · 08-26-2010, 08:41 PM

Gracie, I am going to try upping fat more.

Potaty · 08-27-2010, 06:22 AM

OKay, Okay, today I'll do a steak day. 201.6, .6 over my LDW.

I guess my cheese last night wasn't a good idea (sodium) because I weigh the same as I did before I ate it.

I'll choose to look on the bright side since my husband is back in town to either grill it for me or take me to dinner.

From experience, do the steak day!! I've put it off before and ended up 8 pounds over LDW and then I was like WTH!!!! Dr. Simeons had it right - correct it immediately or it will get out of hand

My mom is naturally thin and I watch her eat sometimes - if she eats a big meal she automatically eats less the next day. She doesn't even know it but I've noticed it! Once you do the steak day you'll be back in range and can relax. Plus, you get to eat a nice big ribeye!!! YUM. I always drink coffee/hwc in the morning then eat dinner around 4 p.m. - big steak and a tomato w/salt & pepper and vinegar. Good Luck!

cookie34 · 08-27-2010, 05:32 PM

I agree.. do the steak day!
