Phase 3 - Day 3

Weight: 175
Well, yesterday was supposed to be a “steak day” in order to lose the extra weight that I picked up over the weekend.  My understanding that is where you only drink fluids all day until dinnertime which is about 6 PM, at which time you have a “huge” steak and either an apple or a tomato.  Psychologically, I'm a hard time with not eating something all day plus I tend to be hypoglycemic and yesterday my blood sugar started to drop so I tried to focus on a high-protein approach during the day.
So, on the one hand at least I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose the extra weight either.  Technically, I'm supposed to do another steak day but I'm not going to try that approach.  What I am going to do is continue to focus on a high-protein menu today, items that I think I will really enjoy and am looking forward to eating.  I will also be quilting all day which not only keeps me busy so I won't be focused on eating, but it's an activity I thoroughly enjoy and in which I become totally immersed.  I think that's also part of the learning process: how not to focus on food as entertainment.
