another week down

Well I end this week weighing in at 194 even. That is really only 1 lb down from last weeks final weigh in. It provided the counselors support in their choice to have me do a 7 day break next week.

The 7 day break consists of me eating a semi-specific menu for 5 days, but during that time I don't get any dairy or starches. UGH!!! I am going to HATE not getting to have my bread or crackers or something like that. But I am assured "it is worth it". After the 5 days I will have 2 days of my unlimited meat and raw green veggies. After that I get to jump back on the normal routine. I am told not to expect to lose next week so I want to pass that along to you. Next week really is to trick my metabolism.

In addition to this quick change, I also purchased a new metabolizer vitamin. Apparently this one is supposed to be really awesome and more effective than the normal one. It is more expensive however instead of taking 6 a day I am supposed to start with 2, they will increase the amount based on how well it works so I could stay at 2 or I could go all the way up to 6. If I only need 2-4 a day that will actually make it less expensive in the long run from the "normal" one. I will keep you posted.

My final piece of news is a quick learning I had this past week. I was waiting for some chicken to thaw and it just wasn't getting there. I decided to go ahead and have a VHP meal replacement instead. I also realized that as the night was coming to an end, I still needed to get another one of my supplements in. Creativity sparked and I decided to mix my vanilla VHP and my Strawberry Kiwi supplement. This actually didn't taste too bad, it was like a strawberry shake. Unfortunately, the supplement is a protein supplement and VHP (very high protein) may have been too much protein for my tummy. I went to bed that night with a tummy ache. I might venture to try this mixture again, but I am a little bit leery since no one ever really wants to sign up for a stomach ache. Yet another thing for me to keep you posted on.

Well that is all for today. Hope everyone has a good weekend! Happy Eating!!!
