Weight: 171.5
What a week.
It sure seems longer than a week since I started Phase 3, the low carb phase. I sure haven’t been very successful in not eating carbs. So, I guess it’s no surprise that I’m over the 2 pound allowable variance from the LIW. For eating carbs, maybe it’s a surprise that I’m only 1.5 pounds over that!
Looking back over my logs, though, it’s a bit disappointing to see that I am the same weight I was on Day 12 of VLCD. I really dislike doing things over, and I want the next round to be my last! If I “only” get rid of 10 pounds next round, then I will probably need to do a 4th.
The week ending the diet and this entire time of P3 has been a really stressful time, and difficult to focus on the protocol. That’s frustrating and disappointing, since I think I focused very well in the first 2 weeks. I’ve discovered a few things about my own assumptions and perceptions, though, and I need to delve into those further.
On the positive side, though, I have 2 more weeks of low carb, which means my weight might come back in line with the LIW. No matter how I look at it, I am not defeated! I have made great gains in my health and there are still many changes, physically, mentally, and spiritually, to come.
