I had to post late today... overslept again.

So there's an overview of my progress on P3. Being that I started at my LIW, I'm not unhappy with it. I knew it would fluctuate a lot & with all the peanut butter and walnuts I was eating the first few days, no wonder I gained! I'm sure I'll stabilize soon. I'm not worried about it. That craving for nuts is gone now & so are the nuts! I ate them all! Even though the craving is gone, I think they should stay out of my house for a while.

I started working out with my FIRM videos yesterday morning and I felt puffy & sore all day yesterday and I still feel like that today. I did an egg day today, but I was confronted with a chocolate donut and it won, so I did another 30 minute aerobic workout after my evening omelet :) I only had 8 eggs all day so I think I'll be okay. So that's why I haven't updated my blog on the last 2 mornings. I keep oversleeping and I still need to get my 1 hour workout in. I'll try to at least throw up some stats tomorrow morning.

I must say, I feel great although I'm sleeping more now that I'm off the hcg. I hope this isn't TMI for anyone, but what I'm most surprised about is how Regular I am! I have NEVER gone every day... sometimes twice! It was about once a week while in P2 so I assumed I'd go back to my irregular ways in P3, but nope.... so I KNOW my body has gone through some changes. It's metabolizing my food way faster and that's got to be a good thing. BTW...Thanks Oprah & Dr. Oz for making regularity more acceptable for conversation ;-)

So, my DH (Nakia) is going to start his P2 after his round of antibiotics. He should be done by next week. I'll be posting his progress when he starts.

Thanks everyone for stopping by. I'll try to get around to everyone's blog tonight.
To my support group:

Mary - I'm doing great! I've come to grips with the gains I've had. They've jumped up too quickly to be all fat, plus my clothes still fit just fine. No worries.

Marlene - Finally learned your name! Yup... just like Atkins except I think we're allowed more veggies. It looks like I need to lay off the nuts though. :)

Ed & Jenn - That stupid steak wasn't expensive enough! It wasn't even well done and it was chewy. If I'm going to only eat a steak all day... next time it's gonna be a GREAT one!
CB had some fantastic advice and so detailed. I just love my HCG fam!

Becca - Thanks! I still seem to be on that roller coaster, but I have to remember that I started P3 kind of high so I didn't have much wiggle room. I'm thinking that the gaining is over.... we'll see tomorrow.

Biz - That IS pretty remarkable! Especially considering all you've been through while you've been away. I read your update earlier, but my post errored out on submitting it. I hate when that happens. It is so nice to see your comment & despite my couple of gains, I'm quite happy here in P3 land.

Have a great night everyone!
