Round 4 Phase 2 Day 0 Let The Games Begin

Okay folks. So it's June 27th and today is the first day of phas 2 of round 4. I'm doing a 42 day round and hopefully, this will be my last one.

Current weight 202.5 (gained 6.5 loading)

Goal weight 156 (or a size 8, which ever comes first) I am currently in a comfortable size 12.

I know that you are not supposed to work out, but I have been doing it all along. I am going to follow the 800 calorie protocal and I will continue to work out. I will cut back a little. (maybe) It's hard to cut back on something that you have relearned to love. I'm addicted now. I don't feel well if I don't do some form of physical activity every day.


I have a cold and not really feeling up to par today, but I worked out anyway. I went to the park to jog, but it started pouring. I came home and did 40 minutes of interval training on my elliptical machine.


Menu for the Day

workout
protein shake
Lunch roast beef lettuce wrap with horseraddish mustard,
Snack orange
Dinner~ Chicken breast, spinach
Snack Apple

Lots of green tea with lemon to drink

Round 2 Phase 2 Day 20

Good morning. It's Saturday and I am on the 20th day of my 21 day round. To date, I have lost 22.8 lbs. My round goal was 21lbs. I have surpassed that. I have 3 more vlcd days left. With that being said, I have averaged 1 lb per day in this round. Not too shabby.
Here is another wonderful thing...wait for it..................

I DID IT! 198 lbs this morning.

Tomorrow will be my last injection. The 72 hours of vlcd. I start phase 3 on the 11th. Just before I leave for San Antonio. If history repeats itself, I will continue losing while on P3. In the first round, I was very focused on keeping my weight within the 2lb +/- LIDW. I am not going to worry about it this time (unless, of course, I go over)

My plan for Phase 3 is to
a) incorporate a lot more vegetables
b) more berries as fruit
c) eat more often
d) heavier weight training

On May 2nd, I will begin loading for another short 21 day round. My goal for that round will be another 21lbs (at least). I know that the losses may come slower as my total weight becomes less.

In comparison, on day 20 of round 1, I lost 25.1 lbs
                              day 20 of round 2, I am at 22.8 lbs

So I am curious to see what the final round numbers look like. And then compare them to the final round.

I think that I hav decided that after the last short round, I will continue my journey on my own. I will transition to the Paleo lifestyle. (I will write a separate post on that) I will also be conditioning more and doing something called calorie shifting. (I'll write on that too)

So here is the weight for the day. Fingers crossed that I have reached my round goal and also made it into ONEderland (that's lingo for getting out of the 200's and into the 100's)

My other challenge today is that I have a social event to attend. My friend has an annual crawfish boil. True cajuns....cooking up all the authentic treats. There will be alot of POP foods, and a bunch that won't be. I will truely test my willpower today.

On top of that, I am making mini crabcakes with lim cilanntro aiole. NO TASTE TESTING...ugh!
Wish me luck on the day.

I will have to post later about what I ate. (going to check some calorie counts right now)
