R5 Phase 2 Day 42

Weight - 138.4

A drop of 1.2 from yesterday.  I'm still majorly sick.  Did not sleep worth a nickel last night.  Tried to nap this afternoon, but that did not happen either.  I had soup for lunch, an apple smoothie in the afternoon, and chicken for dinner.  My evening weigh in looks promising for tomorrow.

Started a fever late this afternoon, so maybe my body is finally going to try to burn this out of me.

R3 Phase 1 Loading Day 2

This has been one long long weekend.  I am exhausted and sure hope I can get some sleep tonight.  I have eaten so much the past few days that my stomach looks like I have a 'food baby' and it hurts because it's tight.

I made several salad dressings today in batches from my Phase 2 Safe Dressing list and sent the girls home with enough of each for several days.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit.  Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or use parchement paper.  In medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly on the pan. Sprinkle evenly with Mrs Dash.  Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe).  Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese.  Place under broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted.

R3 Phase 1 Loading Day 1

Weight - 159.4

What a long and exhausting day and then to have to load on top of that.  It's after midnight and I'm still at it.

I prepped and injected 150iu of Hucog hcg at about 10 am this morning.  Myself, my DIL and a friend (both also starting today) had mani/pedi appointments from 1 til 3pm.  We then finished a bit of shopping for the diet and came home to cook, portion out foods, etc.  We managed to get 34 portions of chicken breast, 8 portions of steak, 20 of ground beef, 28 of lean ground turkey (I prefer it to ground chicken) all done and ready to go. We precooked the chicken and steak, but just portioned out the ground meats.  Out of 14 meals for this coming week, 7 will be chicken , 2 will be steak, and then they can decided on using ground beef or turkey or fish for the other 5.

They worked at splitting up veggies, fruits, seasonings, etc between two of them and leaving half for myself and my son (who is also starting today).  There's an awful lot of produce around my house the past few days and most of it bulk from Costco.  On Friday we purchased two large bags of apples, 2 bags of clementine oranges, 3 lbs of strawberries,  chicken, ground turkey, filet mignon, frozen cod, as well as some bulk seasonings.  I was surprised at the number of seasonings they have that are P2 compliant.  Their Kirkland brand No Salt Seasoning, Ground Garlic, and Minced Onion as well as some Italian seasoning.  They also had 8 packs of Pacific Natural Foods Chicken stock that contains no sugars or starches.  I bought Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails formula that contains 5000mcg of Biotin.  I used biotin in my last round and felt it made a big difference with hair loss.  Their B-100 complex is compliant also.

Oh and on top of all this, dinner out at a pizza place and trying to get in a lot of fats.  I did pretty well I think although my appetite the end of this week has been lacking.
