Living in P4

Well, it has been over a week since I entered P4 and things are seeming to be pretty stable. I had some multi-grain chips at the fair and was okay. Didn't get enough water in so I went up a bit more than usual, but I upped my water and it came right back off.

I had brown rice with chicken stir-fry last night and I did have some peanuts late last night but they usually don't seem to bother me so my weight was hovering at the 2 pound mark, so I'm going to back off of the peanuts when I'm introducing my starches back for a couple of days.

I'm starting a cold and I don't know if that has anything to do with my weight flucuation (getting really close to the 2 pound mark), so I'm trying to get in extra liquids and extra sleep. TOM will be coming in a few days as well, so it is probably a combination of everything together. I'm going to really pump up my water and protein and go easy on the starches for the next couple of days until things come back to normal.

Keep smiling!

P4

Well today is the first day of P4. Things have been pretty hectic at my house getting ready for Fair. And even with all the added stress of getting things ready and late nights, I have not waivered from eating correctly. I have not cheated and it is paying off. I woke this morning at .4 below my LIW. I'll probably start with some croutons on my salad today as my starch and then I'll go from there, or I'll wait until this evening and try some pork-n-beans with my hamburger patty. I didn't buy any wheat buns, because I forgot that I would be in P4, so not a big deal. A little at a time.

I have people asking about the diet and how it works, and there are some when they see the results are all for it and then there are others that are very skeptical. I understand their doubt, as I had it in the beginning to, but after doing a lot of research, I went with my gut feeling and went for it. And I'm glad I did because I'll never look back at those fat pants again. It's thin days awaiting forever.

Keep strong, keep smiling.
