Last Day of Phase 3 – Day 21

Weight: 175

I woke up pretty full this morning so I wasn't really surprised that I was up a pound over yesterday’s weight.

They say that strenuous exercise can cause a weight gain as well.  I did some in-depth housecleaning yesterday; I have the sore upper back and hip muscles this morning to prove it!  Some people might read that and think "what a wuss" but you have to understand…when I clean house it's aerobic housecleaning, and it goes on for hours!

My husband cooked a really great steak last night.  I had broccoli and some fried shrimp with it, too.  There were carbs in the coating for the fried shrimp; this is the same shrimp I had the other day when my weight went up then, too.  Later, I had a bowl of cereal before I went to bed.  So, you might say that I didn't exactly finish out “no carbs” and “no sugar” like I was supposed to, but today is my last official day of Phase 3.

I took my measurements today and they really haven't changed from a month ago, although my tummy is a tiny bit bigger.  I’ve felt a little bit more bloated in general so that doesn't surprise me.  I'm suspecting the additional sugars may be triggering some of the Candida so I need to really watch my sugar intake.  That works well in my plan to continue with a fairly low carb diet over the next 2 to 3 weeks.  I will consider myself successful if I can maintain the same measurements and weight until I start Round 2.
