P3 - Insight and Learning Opportunity

Okay - so I haven't been paying too much attention to P3 eating - still been having quite a bit of stress but making it through. One of my teens is being quiet mouthy at the moment and getting her to do chores has been a challenge. Any way - I've been having a hard time with incorporating the food properly - my stomach and body have been complaining back to me in more ways than one - terrible stomach pains and watery BM. I emailed Cindy and she cautioned about being strick on the P3 and asked what I'd been eating and that it could be a food allergy. But like I said, I have not paid too close attention nor journal what I've had on the P3 phase.

Here's the learning and insight part - next time I will really have to take note of what I am adding in - I think onions could be a problem for me - I had quiet a bit with my mongolian grill today. And my stomach felt like it was on fire - it's past 9 PM here and it still feels icky and the watery BM followed. So, we'll have to test that in the next P3 round. But for now I'm cutting short the P3 by 1 day. Not only do I want to get back on protocol but I want to be able to use Mother's Day as my first load day. And my co-worker is making me brownies w/walnuts - bless her. So, I will have brownies to load with on my second day :))))))

So, yesterday I panicked a bit - I didn't crawl on the scale on 5/7 as that was the anniversary of my mother's death and I was just not with it on that day - ran out the door before I remembered 1/2 way to work that I forgot to weigh in. So, on 5/8 I woke up to the scale of 2.6 lbs over LIW. Wholly smokes batman! I did panic a bit - but not enough to do a steak day. I started out with that idea in mind but was so hungry for lunch I had a salad with steak and pico de gallo (come to think of that my stomach was upset after than and it has onions -hhhhhmmmmm may have found the culprit???) Anyway, by evening time I was really hungry so I went for more protein - eggs w/ cheese and turkey bacon were my fare for the evening. This morning I woke up to a 2 lbs loss - even. And let me tell you I drank a lot and I mean a lot of liquid yesterday and today.

So, 1 more day and I start loading again!!! I'm really excited - even to get back to the very bland food - at least I don't have to think - not really during this protocol. That kind of helps with the stress levels too. I also, miss that I was getting more energy towards the end - I haven't been sleeping too well these past couple weeks and I believe it is catching up to me tremendously!!!

I have a massage in the morning - very excited for this as I think with the food allergy possibility - my body has also been hurting quiet a bit since I stopped taking the HCG.

So, one more day my peeps... And the rest of the belly and chin are on their way out the door. That is if my body doesn't go for another area this time round...

Until L8R!!!
