R3 Phase 2 Day 11

Weight 152.0

Whoohoo.. 1.4 this morning.  Total of 10.6 pounds in 10 days.  I'd love for week two to be better than the previous two rounds.  Once can dream.

Planning a big shopping/batch cooking /portioning session for Friday.  I went today for a couple of beef bottom round roasts to put in the crockpot overnight.  They'll be fall-apart tender in the morning.  What I bought will make 29 portions.  It freezes well once cooked and is great in soups and stirfries.  Tomorrow will be Costco, Walmart, and wherever else we need to stop.  Cooking chicken again and portioning out ground beef, fish, and ground turkey as well as dividing up the bulk veggies and fruits between the 4 of us.

I found a new tea today that I really like  Good Earth Pomegranate Superfruit.  It is a mixture of green tea antioxidants with pomegranate and acerola cherry antioxidants.   Took a nice hot detox bath tonight with epsom salts and ginger as I was out of baking soda.  I always recording my evening weight and it's only up .8 from this morning.  Perhaps a foreshadowing of a good weight-in tomorrow.

I was not very hungry today at all.  I didn't eat lunch until I got back from some errands at almost 4pm.  Fourth day in a row for 162.5iu.  I mixed a new batch that I'll start on tomorrow.
