Thread: The P2 Band part two (and a half)

Hello All ( just hoping . . .)

Hey Cher,

Archie’s last visit here was January 22nd where she said to you:
Cher, may God be with you and your mom. Take care and stay strong.

My son has an appointment
(that was made for him by his team, not made by him)
for an "evaluation" in hematology/oncology tomorrow afternoon.
His next check-up appointment with his primary care physician is next Wednesday.
I’m thinking he will have a diagnosis tomorrow.
If not tomorrow, then next Wednesday.
Patience is not my strongest suit.
Thank you for remembering him.

How is your Mom doing with the chemo?
(Depending on the stage of Hodgkins,
I understand that's a strong possibility of treatment for my son.)
I can imagine (I’ve probably seen it before) a hot pink cast.
That says to me that she still has a lot of spunk!

I do the same thing with 4-5 days of “good” eating and 1 day of splurging.
So I decided that I would do a planned “cheat” once a week, even on protocol.
It is my opinion that I need more fat than protocol can provide
and I would rather lose slower (but at a more steady) rate.
I believe it is healthier for my body - & it is definitely healthier for my head.
I’m about to enter P3 (for 1 week then cycle 2 weeks on protocol & 1 week off).
I am very comfortable in P3. I think that comfort is because of the allowed fat.

For me (my body) that splurge every 4 – 5 days
tells me that my body needs something that is missing
and I need to investigate what it is.
Because I know the pattern will continue
if I don’t search for a solution
and that is the definition of insanity.
I’ve spent too many years on the insane side of eating
– so I’m open to adaptation.

Since my knee surgery, I have maintained the 50 lb loss,
but I am also losing & regaining the same 20 lbs
(down to a 70 lb loss & back up to the 50 lb loss).
I am keeping my eye on the fact that I have MAINTAINED the 50 lb loss.
That thought always gets my head back on straight & I can lose again.

That thought has also seemed to “click” this time.
My head is finally in sync with my body.
I feel a new "benchmark" is about to arrive.

Wow – sorry, I kinda got wordy there.

I keep hoping our other Marchies will show up soon . . .
