LIW: 177 lbs.
Current Weight: 176.8 lbs.
Overnight Change: - .2 lbs.

OK. I'm already completely tired of counting calories. Granted I was home sick again and was working most of the day. However, I know my self and I know I can do the whole write down every once I consume for a while and then it just won't work.

I was very conscious of my choices yesterday, though. Here's what's new. I had no more eggs to eat for breakfast, so I had to go to the store. The coffee bar at the Whole Foods had Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I wanted one so I got it, understanding that it had to have some sugar in it and I was taking a risk. I ate eggs, tomato soup, bacon, turkey & swiss roll-ups in butter lettuce and brussels sprouts for the rest of the day. Nothing too crazy. Lots of water. My weight is down overnight and below LIW again.

I eat when I am hungry and don't when I am not. I've successfully had a coffee bar drink and a piece of sprouted wheat toast without incident. Not both on the same day, of course.

Phase three is scary because there is no regimented eating plan. You have to trust yourself and be ready to act if you cross the line. I am having a mental issue with the weight no longer dropping as well. I want to see more progress even though I know that isn't the point right now. I'm really trying to enjoy having so much more freedom in eating without the crazy weight gain I used to see.


I think I'm going to try yogurt next week.

I'm not planning to count calories in phase 3. I know many people say they only count to make sure they're getting enough calories. Bottom line is, I just can't do it. It's simple in P2, but I know if I try to count calories in P3 I'll get frustrated and chuck everything.

I'll listen to my hunger, get plenty of protein and good fats. And that's that. I can sympathize with you being tired of counting. It's tedious and takes all the joy out of food.

Neat chart, by the way.
