R3P2: Loading Day #1
Injection day 1: well, here we go again! It sure seems strange to be starting back up again after just a week of Protein days, although I have to admit to being relieved at having more structure again.
Seems like this upcoming week is going to be fraught with challenges! Monday after work, I badly need to get with a friend who has been going through a lot. Naturally, it will be at a restaurant - but as long as I have my bottle of liquid stevia with me, I can drink tea all night long. And of course, there's always the option of just getting a bowl of lettuce and some shrimp cocktail. Tuesday night, I have a meeting with one of my chorus board members right after work, with rehearsal immediately afterwards, so will probably gobble something down before leaving the office. Friday/Saturday are the biggest challenges of all. Will be driving down to Houston at noon for a leadership conference on Friday night and all day Saturday, and then coming back late Saturday night. For the trip down, I can always take some chicken breast, cut up, and some celery and an apple. The overnight stay means I have to take one syringe with me, and then figure out what to eat on Saturday. I'm thinking I might just make Saturday an Apple Day to keep things simple - still need to think about it a little bit.
In the meantime, I'll be loading today and tomorrow. Haven't done too much today, because I slept really late. Had a huge steak for lunch and also the chocolate milkshake that I've been craving for ages! Tonight, am going to play cards with friends I haven't seen in a long time. They're all foodies and food-pushers, so this is the ideal time to be seeing them.
Tomorrow, am going to try to focus on mostly healthy fats - I have a great big salmon fillet in the freezer that would be perfect. I imagine I'll have one more of those milkshakes, though, since it's going to be a while before I can have another one.
This round will be the last one before I go up to see my family in June, so I am excited about hitting the <200 lb milestone! My sister knows what I'm doing, and has seen me, but my mother and brother (my two worst critics) have no idea that I've been losing weight. I've been visualizing their reactions, and that in itself is enough to keep me going through this next phase!
Hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow - you moms certainly deserve a wonderful day dedicated just to you!
