Howdy IPeeps! I am in a GREAT Friday Mood! "The Guys" in the lab I work with went out to lunch, and as soon as they said 'Pizza' it was an immediate turn-off. I can have that now in Phase 4 - but honestly it just didn't sound good to me - I brought my chicken breast & rutabaga fries anyways and they were AWESOME!!!
Anyways, hope everyone has a great weekend - I have a Halloween breakfast with my son tomorrow and running a 'Haunt Jaunt 5k' tomorrow night.

I could use some encouragement today. The scale reversed on me and has been hanging out there for days. I'm guessing just water retention and TOM but still feel discouraged as it is the first time my weight went back up. I've been 100% and know I haven't eaten 3500 extra calories (as wuv would say) so I'm hoping it will reverse soon and maybe I'll even see a "swoosh" that I hear others talk about.

I think if you are on Phase 1 long enough - we ALL have a scale reversal now and then, but if you are 100% ON PROGRAM rest assured it is WATER...especially when that A-hole Tom is about to show up!
And the soy sauce comment was probably referring to it's higher sodium content - which also contributes to water retention. The best solution for that is to Drink More Water! It's "Fake Weight" that whooshes out when the hormones subside after Tom leaves.

I have been hungry all day long every day since I started. I guess that is just the way its going to be for me? I drink a ton of water everyday and always have. (ok maybe not a literal ton!) Ready for the hunger pains to pass! Have a great friday everyone!
If you are starving in the morning/afternoon and having to force-feed yourself in the evenings, I think it's clear you should be splitting up your protein. "The Sheet" lays out the meal plan - but really, work with it to suit your body, appetite, metabolism, schedule. I personally had to split my veggies up throughout my breakfast (1 cup), lunch (1 cup), & dinner (2 cups) to get me through the morning (hence my Spinach Smoothie obsession). Make the program work for YOU!
