Thursday, July 9th Day 9 of my protocol, day 7 of VLCD. -.2 Total in 6 days, -15.2 lbs.
My first low loss day... I wondered if I would slow down because yesterday I felt like I might have overdone it on calories. I think I had more greens, I mixed in Celery too and cucumber. Maybe thats too much. I do follow a guy that generally has 3 cherry tomatoes with every meal even tho he's eating salad greens too. I also have still been making my soups of broth, seasonings, bok choy, Napa or chinese cabbage or spinach. Love it, very filling. Anyway, late in the day,about 6:30 pm, it was hot and I had a drive ahead of me and I hadnt eaten dinner and wouldn't be eating for another hour, so I popped in a convenience store and grabbed a bottle of cold water, a bottle of pepsi max and the other flavor that looked really good to me was diet Sunkissed Orange. Mmmm. Well, I opened the orange and took a big swig, ahhhh! it was great. I took another and then started driving... a few minutes later another big swig. I honestly couldnt believe it was so delicious! It seemed too delicous in fact so I decided to double chech the label... Sure enough, diet but when I say the panel I saw that it is NOT 0 calories, it is 15 calories and its #2 ingredient is High Fructose corn syrup... Well that was the end of that so I capped it and put it aside and drank water... I was worried if it would affect my loss...
We also ran out of our Hcg and had to my more so I didnt get my morning dose till about 11 and then I was wondering if the new stuff would work the same as the old stuff.
Friday July 10th Day 10 or protocol Day 8 of vlcd PLUS .4 lbs YUCK!
Ok, heres what happened. After Wednesdays measly .2 loss I was back on the straight and narrow. I did a better job making sure my weights and calories were right, wasn't really hungry, ate well, pretty much tried to avoid any unknown issues from yesterday... I was perfect AND, I had softball game with the young bucks too! Did I mention that they invited me to be a permenent member of the team for the rest of the season and invited me to join them for the fall season too! So, I was feeling great and feeling good about myself and when I showed up at the ballpark early the coach, Steve, called me over and told me the game would be delayed about an hour, and basically, I was treated like "one of the guys", you know, like being invited to become a member of the "cool group". I was so proud, here I was, a 51 year old ball player playing with all these young guys and now, because I'd done so well, had earned enough respect to be treated like one of them! I was very flattered, I was very proud and my vanity got the best of me... there I was, at the ballpark, feeling good, feeling like one of the young guys, waiting for my chance to play, and suddenly, I hear Steve saying, "hey, dude want a coke?" I was surprised at the offer, I looked over at him and in his hands was the can, wet, dropplest in it, that frosy look of codensation on the lid, ice cold... mmm that looked good, and I was being offered this as a token of my worthyness to be "one of the guys"... I heard myself say "sure, thanks". I popped the top, it fizzed... the combined sounds of ice cold, carbonated goodness... I savored the thing. And when I was done, without even missing a beat I crushed it in my hands in the perfect Alpha Male manor...
It was at that moment that I had a shocking realization! What was a coke can doing in my hand? And why was it empty?!!!! Oh my gosh, did I really just drink that??? What was I thinking? It had never even crossed my mind that it was off limits! I was so drunk on the dual vanities of baseball greatness and being included with th cool guys that I just reacted, it was the 'slippery slope' theory of vanity... eeegads! Now I knew I had blown it! We'll see for sure at tomorrows weigh in...
Saturday July 11th Day 11 of protocol Day 9 of VLCD -1.2 yeah! Total of 16.2 down after 8 full days.
Yoohoo! Thats the ticket, I'm back on track and doing great. One thing we hadnt done was buy Keto Stix... they are great but I hadnt done it. As long as I was losing 2+ lbs a day I sure didn't need them. But after my 2 day scare, I sure wanted them so we got some today and yea! I am in the max ketosis range, my body is burning fat like a machine!
Yesterday I want to an Oriental grocery store and found Shiritake Noodles. They come in the refridgerated section are 100% plant fiber. 0 calories adn 0 carbs. I had them for dinner last night. I made a big bowel of chili with extra lean ground beef, cumin, chilipowder, garlic powder and pepper. It was a huge meal, and it was great!!!
