I almost didn't get to post today... It's been a really busy day for me, plus I've been extra bitch most of the day because of TOM I guess. I was just in a general bad mood for no good reason, but here I am right before bed. We have a new addition to our home... A 6 week old dark calico kitten that we've named Cocoa. She's so cute, but she's having a little difficulty getting the whole litter box thing down. She uses it most of the time, but I think she gets so scared of my other cat that she doesn't want to go find the box. That pissed me off more than it normally would too, but I'm going to put a litter box closer to her comfort zone to see if that helps.

Wow... I lost 10% of my weight this round! That's really REALLY good for me. This has been my best round ever by total weight lost & percentages... here are the numbers
P2R1D35 - 12.9 lbs - 7.09%
P2R2D31 - 11.1 lbs - 6.40% (did a short round)
P2R3D35 - 14.0 lbs - 8.09%
P2R4D35 - 17.0 lbs - 10.0%

I did that with only losing 1 lb this past week! I'm very happy with that. I think I've gotten something right this time around. This round has certainly been much easier than the others. I have a rhythm that's really working for me, meaning when I eat. I've found that eating half my fruit late morning and the other half about 2 hours after lunch really helps my metabolism somehow. I'm hoping to get to 20 lbs lost this round and since I'm adding another 4 or 5 days, I just might make it.

Mary - I think people either love or hate ceviche. I had never thought about it on P2 before trying the raw diet though. It makes a nice addition. As for the eggs, I decided not to do that today because I did have a decent lose, but I actually cook my scrambled eggs in the microwave. They come out nice and fluffy too. I don't like reheating them though. They get rubbery.

Amie - Yup, I'm definitely gonna do another raw day. Maybe saturday when we go out with some friends. That way I can have a salad at dinner without worrying too much. It does give me more flexibility.... and yes TOM is a BIOCH!!!

Dawn - And you know what you need to build muscle right? Protein! Get plenty of that. I'm glad I could help. I've been through that same thing before and it's amazing how your diet can really help you have enough energy and recover quicker. Happy excercising babe!

Biz - You know, for some reason I didn't even make that connection. You're probably right. Maybe being on the raw diet at that particular time gave me an "excuse" to give in. hmmm, something to think about.
