Steak Day 4 - 1.8 lbs down

LIW Weight: 196.0
Today's Weight: 198.4
+/- LIW weight: +2.4


I guess bigger isn't always better. lol. The steak was huge, actually a steak and a half so I thought I would drop down to LIW this morning but nope I have to wait another day to see what the protein day will bring. What's cool is the fact that I gained 18lbs in 8 days and almost lost it all in 8 or 9 days. HOW is that possible?

I hope to be below LIW tomorrow but until then...

That's all for now...

P.S. Take a look at my friends blog...http://jlogonewrong.blogspot.com/.

Steak Day 3 - 3.2 lbs down

LIW Weight: 196.0
Today's Weight: 200.2
+/- LIW weight: +4.2

Well after actually gaining (.8lbs) on my mostly protein days it was time to do another steak day which delivered me closer to my LIW. I did another one today with hopes that I will hit the magic number in the morning. I think I drank about 300 ounces of water yesterday and today since I was in all day meetings preparing for that big steak (too big) and tomato. I am stuffed to the gill. lol.

That's all for now...

Steak Day 1 - 4lbs down

LIW Weight: 196.0
Today's Weight: 208.0
+/- LIW weight: +12

Wowwww. How does this happen? Anyway I am just psyched about the downward spiral. The greatest thing is that I was not hungry while waiting to do my steak and tomato dinner. I actually had to cook a magnificent meal for my sons last night and avoided the temptations. My steak hit the spot so no worries there.

I am doing a protein day today and will do another steak day tomorrow to see if I will have a repeat of the last 2 days. Keep your fingers crossed. Until tomorrow...

That's all for now...

Protein Day 1 - 2lbs down

LIW Weight: 196.0
Today's Weight: 212.0
+/- LIW weight: +16

Well it was nice to see the trending down begin with doing protein all day with a little vegetable. I drank dieters tea for the last couple nights which have kept me active in the bathroom while flushing the bad foods out of my system. Today I am doing my first steak day with hopes of dropping at least another 2lbs and then another protein day to see if I can continue the trending down.

Here is what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast: Eggwhite omelet - 5egg whites / 1 yolk, bacon bits, cheddar cheese
Lunch: Grilled steak with string beans
Dinner: Grilled steak with string beans

That's all for now...

Gain weight...no problem, mon

LIW Weight: 196.0
Today's Weight: 214.0
+/- LIW weight: +18

Let me first say the gain was well worth it but still a bit shocking in a one week span. I knew it was going to happen and I could not resist my mother's cooking and the bun and cheese, fruitcake, dumplings, festival. All the things that make going home a wonderful experience. I will work deligently to get back to LIW before the end of P3 by eating all protein and having a few steak days in between the eating. If you have any other suggestions on getting this removed, let me know.

The trip was dynamite except for the fact they lost my luggage and when I finally got it back about 4 days later they had stolen more than half of my clothing. That was the only downside to the entire break. Thank God I was rightsized because all my brothers wear 36W and large shirts so clothing wasnt any problem. I guess it was just the inconvenience and now having to file paperwork to get reimbursed for the items stolen. All the stuff in my bag were new of course so they made out like a bandit.

When I came out the airport and approached my brother he did not know who I was and almost jumped back. He was wondering what happened to the rest of me. lol. My mother, brothers and sister were all shocked to see me and that felt really good. Then all the other family and friends that saw me last year were in disbelief that I was the same person at this time last year. Man, it feels so good to be almost slim. I do have a ways to go with getting all the fat off and especially after gaining this week am looking forward to my last round of P2.

The weather was fantabulous with the warm breeze blowing throughout the day and even a little cool in the evening. The beaches in Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios were beautiful and clear. I jumped off of a ten story cliff into the sea, swam in Negril beach, climbed Duns River Falls and ate like a king. The night activities were eventful with the night ending well into the morning hours. This was by far the best time I had hanging with my family.

I have to get updates from you crew today and now have my family looking to start HCG to get all the abnormal fat removed from their bodies as well. I will keep you posted.

That's all for now...

R2P2 Last VLCD Day

Start of R2P1: 1-05-08
Start Weight: 238.2
LIW Weight: 196.0
LIW Losses: 42.2
Total R2P2 Losses: -42.2
Total Protocol Losses: -92.5
Today's Weight: 196.0
+/- LIW weight: 0

Well folks the time has come to bid farewell to Round 2 Phase 2. I had a great run and although I did not reach my initial goal by 1 pound I am still in awe of where I am currently. I have no idea it would be this good as I cannot ever remember being the 100's. Thank the good Lord that he has blessed me to get physically fit and that I can bless others with his gift.

To reflect on this round I would first like to thank ALL of you that have taken the time out of your day to read my blog and a special thanks to those of you who left messages of encouragement and motivation. It has made it most enjoyable and by you sharing your journey it has kept me more driven than not having my HCG family to lean on. You guys are the greatest. This round was fairly easy to follow and my mind was a lot more focused than in round 1. I have learned to be patient and let my body do its thing and stop stressing over the zero loss or minimal gain days. They are still not comforting but at least easier to contend with.

As I move on to P3, I will continue to follow the protocol as closely as possible but will have a challenging time as I will be heading to Jamaica in the morning to visit my family and take care of some personal business. With that said, I will not have internet access but will post upon my return next Wednesday. This is a much needed break as things have been stressful at work and with dealing with my children rearing challenges.

I think I will do another round to release all the abnormal fat on my body in conjunction to hitting the gym. All of told me to lose no more but I have a plan and know that I will get a lot nicer and be able to really enjoy the shirtless season of summer. I will actually get some color this year since I will want to be outside more.

I will be posting some pictures today and will check with you all next week.

That's all for now...
