R4 Phase 4 Day 57
Weight - 137.6
Boo.. 0.2. At least, it's not a gain. Eating P3ish today and I'll do a nut day tomorrow.
I got my lipotropic with B complex injections today. It was easy doing it myself. The area where I did it is a bit sore today, but I've heard that's normal. I had to giggle when the nurse told me that there was so little fat on my butt I could probably use a half inch needle instead of a one inch. I went with the one inch anyway so that I know I'm for sure in the muscle.

Whooaa Nelly. Up 1.2 lbs today which puts me 0.4 above LIW. First time I've been above LIW this P3. Going to back off on things today and let it settle down. The last couple of days I've been eating a larger than normal meal at dinner time. That might be part of the jump. If it drops back quickly, I'll have to analyze things and see if there was something specific I can pinpoint.
I spent most of the afternoon and early evening on my deck enjoying our Seattle summer. Luckily, I had leftover proteins ready and waiting so I did not have to cook at all.

Okay.. I have got to get things under control or just move on to P3. Tonight did not stop at just the cupcake and a bit of ice cream. Seems to be my issue lately.

Down 1.8 after being up .6 yesterday do to lack of output. Did not have that issue today. So 9.2 lbs in 9 days. That is exactly where I was at the same point in round 2. Hunger isn't bad today. A bit this morning before my dose and some this evening, but it's likely because the furtherest out in my body was the skip day (72 hours back). I'll do 162.5 again tomorrow and see how things feel.
I ate bok choy for lunch today. Not for the heck of it, but because I didn't want it to go to waste. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite me. It is part of the cabbage family.

180 g cauliflower, riced
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp parsely flakes
40 g parmesan cheese, shredded
125 g roma tomatoes sliced (as a side)
Pepper veal on both side, saute in coconut oil on medium heat. Remove from pan when done. In same pan, add lemon juice, garlic, and capers. Stir to incorporate any cooked bits from the veal. Reduce and pour sauce over veal.
Pulse or grate cauliflower until it looks somewhat like rice. Place in a microwave safe dish with a lid and cook on high for 3 minutes. Do not add water, it does not need it. Heat butter, garlic salt, and parsley flakes until butter is melted. I do this in a small glass dish in the microwave. Stir butter mixture into cauliflower. Add parmesan cheese and stir this in also.

R2P3 Day 10
Weight - 161.6
Only down 1.2 lbs after a steak day. I must have really gotten into something I was sensitive to on Friday night for that to happen. It likely means that I retained water due to a sensitivity and it's taking a couple of days to clear from my system. So I'm doing a lean protein day today. It will be low on the calories and I'm not sure how that will go. Guess I'll know tomorrow.
Breakfast - (256 calories)
245 g veal scallopini (leftover from a few nights ago)
2 cups coffee with 1 tbsp half & half in each
Lunch - (193 calories)
145 g raw weight boneless chicken breast, baked 2 nights ago

3 tbsp Maple Grove Farms Fat Free Balsamic Vinaigrette
Afternoon snack - (159 calories)

224 g Foster Farms Extra Lean Ground Turkey

R2P3 Day 5
Weight 158.0
The teeter totter of P3 is in full swing. Concentrated on mostly proteins yesterday and dropped 2.8 lbs overnight. Decided to skip eggs today and have my old standby Fage Greek Yogurt for breakfast and a huge spinach salad for lunch. Loved it all. I feel like I'm cheating but I'm not.
Had a wonderfully relaxing 90 minute facial this afternoon complete with a good head, neck and shoulder massage. Esthetician mentioned my skin was a bit dry, but I expected that after 50+ days of not using my normal products. She also commented on the weight loss. She sees me every 4 weeks said it really looked different this last time. She weighs about a buck ninetyfive and was actually asking me about the diet.

R2 VLCD Day 43
Weight - 163.0
Successful mini-steak day I'd say. 2.6 lbs from yesterday morning until this morning. Brought the week 6 total to 3 lbs even instead of 0.4 and a total for this round so far of 23.8 lbs.
I am switching back to my hhcg drops today. I am wondering if some of my sleeplessness at night and the slower loss could be due to the homeopathic pellets. Although I love them for dosing and convenience, I need to try this for the last days of this round and see if it makes the difference in getting down into the 150s.
My homeopathic buddies at HCGDietInfo.com Forums may shoot me, but after realizing this won't be the final round for me and talking to several people who have used both methods in different rounds, I've decided that my next round will be RX subq. The people who have done both have said that they see better shaping from the RX. If I only have one more round in me, I want optimize this. After all, I finally have a waist. I've almost always had a waist measurement larger than my hips. Once I dropped weight, I was more like a cylinder. Not anymore. Even though I won't be due for round 3 until mid-February, I went ahead and ordered the supplies I will need. Now the issue will be trying to do a complete P3 and P4 before rolling back for another round. I know I will be tempted to do a quick turnaround.
Back to normal eating today. Hopefully the scale doesn't rebound.
Breakfast & Throughout the day
Coffee and strawberry koolaid sweeted with stevia
Lunch - (178 calories)
100g sirloin steak (previously cooked)
125 g Fresh Express Sweet Tender Greens lettuce
P2 Protocol Dressing
Afternoon Snack - (41 calories)
135 g strawberries
Dinner - (217 calories)
**Lemon pepper veal and tangy spinach
120 g veal, thin sliced
250 g frozen chopped spinach
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp yellow mustard
pepper and Franks RedHot to taste.
I don't normally do frozen spinach, but since it's one of the lower carb choices for veggies I wanted spinach for dinner and that's all I had on hand.

R2 VLCD Day 39
Weight - 166.2
Arrggh dang scale is teasing me. Down a bit, up, down a lot , up, down a bit.. I guess at least the trend is in the right direction.
Did a fair bit of grocery shopping this afternoon. Hit Bed Bath and Beyond for some more of the Keurig K-Cup flavored coffees. Green Mountain Butter Toffee
and Green Mountain Gingerbread
along with the Pumpkin Spice I've been drinking.
Also had to go buy a new belt. I've been wearing a belt that has double holes all the way around it. Well the end of it is halfway around my side almost to my back. Finally went and got a new one that's the same style so I should be good to go. Tried on some jeans since I've lost more weight after pulling my old 12s out. I can get in a 10 just fine and probably almost in an 8 so I'm going to wait before I buy any. I have some 10s here and an 8. Just have to dig them out.

For the veal, I pepper both sides, saute the garlic in a small skillet with lemon juice and beef broth, then add the veal. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes. Uncover, turn veal, continue cooking another 2 minutes. Remove veal and reduce liquid to make a sauce.
For the spinach, I bring the water, vinegar, onion, tarragon, garlic and pepper to a slow boil. Add the spinach and cover for a minute or so. Stir and cook until spinach is wilted. Plate spinach and continue cooking liquid until it is reduced down to a sauce

R2 VLCD Day 31
Weight - 169.2
Finally after paying for my little cheats for 4 days I'm back to where I was on Saturday. It took a couple of days for them to catch up to me on the scale and even longer for me to get rid of them.
Squeezed in a trip to Whole Foods in Seattle today. Since I had asparagus last night which was a bit thicker on the ends than I like (too much goes to waste), I was searching for nice thin spears and found them. Also snagges some nice looking shrimp that I'll probably cook tomorrow.
No trip to the University District in Seattle would be complete without a stop at Dick's Drive In. Of course, I didn't eat any and got to smell it all the way home. No worries though. Thin is better than a burger and hand cut fries anyday.
My lunch today was scallops. Not something I've eaten before but I had never eaten veal before this diet either and I love it now. I wasn't majorly impressed with them though.
Breakfast
Starbucks Venti brewed coffee with 3 Sweet N Low
Lunch - (146 calories)
** Sauted Sea Scallops with marinated tomatoes
110 g raw weight Sea Scallops, drained and patted dry
1 tsp Mrs Dash Fiesta Lime
seasoning
1 tbsp organic lime juice
1 tbsp Lounsbury Seafood Cocktail Sauce
310 g tomato, diced
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp zesty pepper rings, diced
salt and pepper to taste
Toss dried scallops in seasoning. Add lime juice to a heated skillet. When it starts to bubble, add the scallops. Saute until scallops open a bit and are no longer opaque. Be careful, they cook very fast.
Dinner - (220 calories)
**A redeux of last night's Thin sliced round steak in caper pan sauce with roasted asparagus
130 g beef bottom round steak (raw weight) thin sliced
