Gobble til you wobble...and I DID!!! LOL

You KNOW it's been a GREAT Thanksgiving when you have to have a steak day the next day!!! LOL - I was doing so good...it had been 12 whole days since my last steak day and yesterday I had a modified version. It's funny that I've had SO many of them now that I just modify them to my liking and it still works to get me to my "safe range" and that's ALL that matters to me!!!

Hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving...we are all SO blessed here in America!!!

Good news...

Well - I tested the waters with my most recent "Steak Day" (Sunday) - glad it turned out good for me!!! I had a 2cup Hot Chocolate Chai for breakfast, 1/2 of my steak for lunch, 1 tbs of peanut butter, an apple and then my other 1/2 of steak for dinner and a Smooth Move tea for a night time snack...yippee - was thrilled to wake up and be back within my "safe" range of 146.6.

Today (Tuesday) was an amazing day on the scale - yesterday I had 2cup Hot Chocolate Chai for breakfast (yes, that IS my coffee, lol:), 2 chocolate chip cookies covered with peanut butter for a snack, 5 club crackers and 1/2 bagel covered in peanut butter and strawberry preserves (I thought that alone would put me over the top to another "steak day"), then I had a piece of chocolate, I made some homemade chocolate trail mix with craisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds, peanut butter pretzels all covered in chocolate, I ate quite a bit of that - probably 3/4 cup of it, I had mac-n-cheese in chili for dinner and a hot chocolate at St. Louis Bread Co. at a 7pm meeting...woke up to an unbelievable 145.8 (LDW:) - YIPPEE!!!

Pushing my limits on the Steak Days!!! LOL

Well - seems like every Sunday is a "Steak Day" for me...lol. I've been off the maintenance portion of the HCG protocol for 4 weeks and so far I've had a steak day...EVERY week. I really don't mind it though cause we RARELY have things to do on Sunday and as long as I can eat EVERYTHING I want and have a steak on Sunday...I'm good with it. Whatever works to bring me back to where I need to be...I'm loving it!!!

I'm stepping out a bit beyond the "NORMAL" steak day which is no breakfast, no lunch and the largest steak for dinner with a tomato or an apple...last Sunday on my steak day I had my Hot Chocolate Chai for breakfast...it made the day worth it!!!

Today, I had my Hot Chocolate Chai for breakfast and 1/2 of my steak for lunch. Will have an apple in a bit and the other half of my steak for dinner...just testing the waters I guess!!! LOL

Since I'm going to do another round in December, I don't mind playing around too much but I don't WANT to gain any...just want to be able to eat what I want and stay this size!!! :)

Will update tomorrow what I find out from this day of playing around...I hope I don't doom myself!!! LOL
