R5 Phase 2 Day 29

Weight - 138.0

Down 1.4 today and I honestly don't know where it came from.  I've seesawed all week and then boom.  So weird.  Now if things go as usual I'll have somewhat of a rebound tomorrow.  Dang.  Five more pounds may take weeks at this rate.

I'm trying to come up with foods for the gang for Superbowl Sunday.  Not going to be fun for me foodwise for sure.  I'm likely going to go the easy route and order something and go get it.  Also have some snacks on hand.

I went over on calories today, but I'd already eating a larger portion of chicken at dinner before I remembered I'd had a protein shake in the afternoon.

R5 Phase 2 Day 26

Weight - 141.6

Arrgghh.. I'm going the wrong direction!  Total lack of sleep and output, plus a weigh in this morning that was over 2 hours earlier than normal.  Plugging along. 

I batch cooked like a demon tonight.  Twelve portions of chicken breast, 7 of eye of round steak, 5 ground beef patties, and 5 turkey burgers.  Plus I cooked for the new parents.  They are trying to get on some kind of a schedule, but getting the newbie to nurse properly is always a challenge for new parents.  On top of that mama is vegetarian and I really think needs as much protein as she can get.  I figured they can fend for themselves during the day but for now I'm going to make sure they get at least one cooked meal a day.

Arrgghh.. Well I call this a stall.  Of course, I've not been sleeping like usual and the output isn't there.  I was in a rush today, heading to pick up the new little family from the hospital, so I made myself a protein shake this morning.  I enjoyed it so much I made it a protein shake kinda day.

R5 Phase 2 Day 24

Weight - unknown

I was not about to weight this morning.  I had about 4 hours sleep and no output whatsoever.

We welcomed my second grandchild into the world this morning at one minute past midnight.   By the time I got home and settled in, it was after 4 am.  I didn't sleep much at all of course.

I did a quick lunch today and snagged some barbacoa from Chipotle for dinner.  Spent most of the afternoon at the hospital.  The newbie will come home tomorrow.

Here's new baby Wayne
