Day 25 VLCD 160.4

160.4 lbs. (weight before elimination-who knows what difference that will make, but I can't wait any longer to start my day)

25 drops just once! I didn't get my drops in!

Ok, so I am gaining. I haven't cheated. It could be:

1. not enough water
2. not taking drops at right times
3. not eating all the food, sometimes I miss a fruit or vegetable--also I like to eat the fruits and veggies with more calories, i.e. onion, tomato
4. pre-bloat, PMS
5. too many servings of beef--I am only supposed to have beef 2-3 times/wk, I have had 5 servings so far because we didn't have chicken in the house for a couple of days. Also, I switched to a better cut of steak but it probably has higher fat. So, I need to switch back to whatever beef is the leanest regardless of the quality of the cut.
6. mahi mahi instead of tilapia--mahi has an * by it in the manuscript as an ok, but caution fish

So, I am going to get my water in, take my drops spaced out right, eat less beef, but more lean beef, switch to tilapia, and just see what happens.

Oh, well, dissapointing, but I will keep going.

  1. I wouldn't say disappointing. You cant expect to drop drop drop, your body is just getting used to its new way of life. Keep at it and dont be to hard on yourself (also dont go easy).
