A Double Steak Day???

What do you get when you pair waking up New Years Eve morning already being over your LDW range with eating anything and EVERYTHING that you want and desire on said day and NOT having it be your steak day as you should have???

A double consecutive steak day...yep, that's what I just had for the first time in my HCG history...it really is TOTALLY my fault. On New Years Eve night we were invited to some friends house and I ate, and ate, and ate...MORE!!! LOL I had 3 plates of dessert and since that day was ALREADY suppose to be a steak day, I KNEW that the next day would DEFINATELY be one...and low and behold...it WAS!!!

Unfortunately, all the eating I did on my "already NYE steak day" put me quite OUT of the range that just 1 steak day would bring me back from so lucky me...I had to do another and another is what I did I'll tell you...there was NO way I was going to take a chance in not getting back to my safe range...I've enjoyed this diet too much and am SO thankful it works the way it does. It really is such a forgiving diet...I love it.

So...over eat on an already steak day and push those numbers just slightly out of reach and have a steak or two...that's what I seem to do!!! LOL

The holidays just WOULDN"T be complete without a "few" steak days...lol!

Well - with the holidays comes more snacking and eating than usual, hence the need for me to have 2 steak days so far this week. As you've noticed from my earlier steak days, I KNOW how to work them out to my advantage but yesterday I took the "ULTIMATE" steak day test.

Yesterday I had my 2 cups of hot chocolate, about 10 pieces of peanut brittle (super yummy:), about 6-8 chocolate chip cookies (AGAIN SUPER YUMMY:), a bowl of broccoli slaw and then we went to Texas Roadhouse...after all, it "WAS" a steak day!!! LOL At Texas Roadhouse I thought I'd push it to the limits and this is what I had, 1 warm roll with the entire scoop of cinnamon honey butter, 3 fries, 3-4 bites of my husband's ceasar salad, apple sauce, and my 8 oz filet mignon. When we got home after visiting some friends at 9:40pm I had 2 small apples and it WORKED yet again...I LOVE this program and am SOOO very glad and thankful that I did it...It works, It works, It ReaLLY, REALLY works!!!

Merry Christmas to you - I pray that God blesses you this Christmas with life MORE abundantly! HCG rocks!!!

To lose or NOT to lose...THAT is the question!!! LOL

I mentioned to my hubby the other day that I'd like to do another round of HCG to lose 10 more pounds. He's always very supportive of whatever I want to do but I was shocked when he said that he thought I looked great and didn't really think or want me to lose anymore weight.

{WOW} What can you say to that!?! LOL - I'm happy to stay at the 145-147 range...never thought I'd EVER see those kind of numbers so I'm so thankful this diet works...Oh it does!!!

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

It worked, it worked, it worked!!! Yippee!!!

I'm SO thrilled that the "steak-day" did exactly what it was suppose to do which was to bring me back down to my "safe" range (within 2.2 pounds of my Last Day Weight -LDW- when I was on the HCG). Yippee. To be honest, it wasn't bad - I wasn't really hungry until it was 7:30 and I had cleaned at a friends house all day...got home and my wonderful hubby fixed my steak and I had an apple with it. Thankfully the scale this morning showed a much more delightful number of 146.4...WOO HOO!!!
