Round 2 Day 6 Phase 2

I had a bad day yesterday. I wasn't able to stay away from temptations and slowly I ate foods that are not included in the protocol. I gained half a pound this morning and I am very disappointed in myself. But, I am going to do it right today. I know I'll end up cheating again in this round but I won't hate myself for it. Disappointed, yes! But that's part of it. I am human. As long as I don't eat have like a full meal of cheat food and just a few tastes here and there, I know I can get back on track. But, I will do my best not to cheat. I told my husband too about my desire to lose 20 pounds and stick to this protocol for 30 days. We both decided that I don't need to do that so I might just stick to 21 days instead.I hope to lose at least 10 pounds before the end and I'll lose the remaining pounds on my own. This decision came to me when I checked my chart from last round. After 21 days, I only lost like 2 pounds and I don't think it's worth it anymore.

I just want to share about my lunch today. As I said in some early blog posts I don't like the taste of cabbage. In fact, I hate it. But I came up with an idea on how I can easily eat the cabbage. I chopped it really fine and mixed it to my 100g of super lean ground beef and added 1 egg white. I added seasoning of salt and pepper and about a teaspoon of oyster sauce. I've been adding oyster sauce while on this diet and doesn't cause me any problem at all as long as I don't put more than a teaspoon on it. I then made it into a round shape and cooked it. It tastes soooo good! I didn't taste the cabbag in it at all. Just like one big giant burger patty! woohoo!

Round 2 Day 5 of Phase 2

Woke up today to a 1 pound weight loss. Not bad. Hope tomorrow I'd shed another pound. I measured my waist and I'm back to 32 inches once again so that's a 1 inch loss overnight. Yipee! ;)

The last days I've been eating practically the same foods all the time. For my meat it's super lean beef for lunch and chicken for dinner. For my vegetables, it's water spinach for lunch and the awful cabbage for dinner. I wanted to eat lettuce but gosh its price is so expensive right now most probably because of the typhoons that struck the country recently. I guess I'll add fish in my menu today for afternoon meal and probably will try to make a burger patty mixed with finely chopped cabbage for my dinner. I'm really trying to chop my cabbage as finely as possible so I can eat it. If it's too big it makes me want to puke. I really hate cabbage!

Finally! I'm back to my last day weigh in from Round 1. So excited 'coz tomorrow will be the start of my actual weight loss. So far I lost 5 pounds since the end of Phase 1. I gained 3 pounds in phase 1 and maintained 2 pounds from last weigh in so that's a total of 5 pounds and it took 4 VLCD days to get rid of that! I am somehow a bit disappointed about it but hey, that's great results. What more should I ask for, right? I just hope I can still lose 20 pounds though. I'd still push for it. If not on phase 2, I'll finish it up on phase 3. I'm excited to check my weight tomorrow morning! :)
