Nakia hadn't gotten up when I I first posted... Yup, he had alcohol last night. I have come to the conclusion that the dehydration that the alcohol causes makes it look like he drops alot of weight overnight. It'll be back tomorrow, but he was just sooo excited to see 215 point something on the scale this morning & so was I. He hasn't been this weight since we started dating 11 years ago!*********************************
No change for me today, but I'm extremely thirsty. I also think TOM is on the way & I'm feeling kind of poofy. The rings are also tight so I'm sure I've got some water retention going on. I've already had 64 ounces of water and it's not even 9:30 in the morning yet. I just can't seem to shake the thirst.I am so excited about the end of my round. Unlike previous rounds, I'm not nervous at all about P3. Bootcamp has given me all the tools I need. (Thanks Biz & the other veterans at HTA). After all my raw food excitement I'm ready to get back to nice and simple. I'm going to start back today with a modified egg day to give my body a jump start and see how that goes. I will certainly report tomorrow.
Mary - Definately too much too soon, but I'm amazed that I didn't gain more. I think that's why I feel so good about the whole thing. I really needed a break from the P2 norm & that provided it without much damage... certainly damage that I can fix.
Biz - I was just thinking that same thing about cutting down on meat myself!!! You read my mind! I saw something on the news that spoke on our actual protein needs the other day & I realized how much I enjoy eating raw. I started realizing that every meal doesn't have to be centered around a piece of meat! HA...whooda thunk? In my raw food research I also found several vegetarian meals that I want to try... so thank you so much for that link. It really affirms what I was already considering.
Amie - WTF is right! You hit the nail on the head there. I know I went overboard and I totally except that. I hope that doesn't deter anyone else from trying it cus I think it would really work for someone with a little more willpower than me. Mine was wavering so close to the end of my round and hitting my LIW from last round all at the same time. Too much temptation for a girl to handle & those damn nuts were in the house!

Moni, you seem like you are in such a good place, good for you!!! Yeah, trying to tell the masses that they eat too much meat, well, my goodness, it's like pulling teeth.
I don't know how it was when you were growing up, but me (and I realize I am quite a bit older than you) - my mom used to feed the four of us on a 1/4 lb of meat for the entire meal, and we were NEVER hungry. EVER. She made it stretch - I can't get my husband to understand that, all I can do is change my ways and hope for the best with others.
The one really good thing about my raw thing is that I find that my daughter is actually asking for different fruit now, that just does my heart good.
Ok, here is something for you to look at today:

Hey hey hey! What is it with hitting weight goals we haven't seen in a decade or better?? WOW!! Congrats to you both for succeeding so much with this protocol!
I'm with you - I cannot WAIT for P3 to come. Not that I've been so good with the VLCD these past several days, but I keep gettin' back on that horse! LOL I'm doing a correction day tomorrow too - I ate so much sugar today that I felt sick to the pit of my stomache. D: Karma!
I was also raised on meat & potatoes, and I know that is a big reason most of my family struggles with obesity. It takes a lot of effort to shift those paradigms, but the more of us that do it - the more others will, too!
