Thread: Swabby's School of Suave

So, I'm at my personal 1/2 way point for this P2, and decided to switch it up a bit.
Yesterday I did a mini-load, as I still have 4 more P2 weeks to go. I ate a salad with an avocado & some blue cheese with a balsamic oil dressing, some mixed nuts & coconut oil. This morning for the first time in a month, my head is clear and not stuck in a fog. I think my body was screaming for some healthy fats to fuel my brain. I am up a pound this morning, but I know it will come off as easily as it went on.

Here's to another wonderful 4 weeks of P2... but P3, I can't wait until we meet again!

Today I finish off day 31- 9 days left on HCG! I'm going to make it!!!

The first 20 days were no problem, then about day 23 time suddenly seemed to slow down and I feel like I've been on VLCD for a year!!! Ha!!! But I am almost there, the home stretch!!!! I'm coming Avocados!!! I'll be there soon Coconut Oil!!! Almost there Extra Virgin Olive Oil patiently waiting to adorn my salad greens!!! (And I know it's not really good for me but Bacon and Tofu are also standing by....)

Ok, something weird is going on with my left leg. It's been hurting for 4 days. Not like a muscle pain but uncomfortable. No idea why and never had any problems before. Weird.

On another note, I broke into the Truvia the other day and WOW is that stuff good!!! When the container opens, you get a scent of vanilla and it tastes and acts like sugar! I've been sprinkling my strawberries with it in the evenings. Yum!

Wooo hoooooo, you are so positive this morning, it's rubbing off on me! lolol Boooo about the leg pain maybe you slept wonky on it several nights ago? Sooo, there IS that big of a difference in Truvia and Stevia? I almost bought some the other day but I put it back and thought "how different can it be, plus I still have half a box of Stevia", but now I"m thinking I should get it next time!

AFM:
down .6 this morning, and I'll take it since ToM is still hanging out like a weird creeper. No icky headache this morning either, thank goodness...This weather is KILLING me...the wild fluctuations in temp (mid 60's in KY in JANUARY/FEBRUARY??? that's insanity) give me the nastiest migraines. I hope everyone wakes up feeling refreshed and that their scales have been kind to them this morning

Hi Peeps! Good morning and happy February!

I know I've been responding to posts so far this morning, but thought I'd update you on my own journey... Today is day 9 of P3 for me and I am .8 below LDW. 2nd day in a row! I am thrilled. Especially because I have added in almond flour, cream cheese and peanut butter which I was going to wait for, but thought 'why not give 'em a try?' I haven't added actual nuts yet, but hope to tomorrow (need a shopping trip before I do that, and I won't be leaving the house until tonight) Also, I felt like I ate a lot yesterday, but still kept carbs under 25g, effective carbs were probably closer to 12...

Been doing quite a bit of recipe research and am excited to try out more things. Tonight I am making a meal for the entire family that is P3 friendly! I haven't done this yet because we had some non P3 friendly foods that needed to be used up before they weren't good and given the crazy schedules of everyone the past week, it just hasn't worked out. But tonight - watch out!

One last thing I wanted to mention. P3 reshaping. Hekare, I know you wanted to know more about this. I still have a little bit of 'love' around my hips/lower belly. Not much mind you, and nothing like I had before, but it's the leftover baby belly for the most part. Anyway, in 9 days, my hips/belly area have dropped an additional 1.25". I'm sure a little of it is exercise, but honestly, I haven't been doing anything hard core - not really my style. But my tummy looks a lot flatter than it did just a week ago! So, that's my reshaping story I hope you enjoyed.

Make it a great day!

GREAT job Fatty. Bet you are loving adding in those new foods and your mouth is in heaven yum, peanut butter, can't wait to eat that again. I'll be starting P3 in 9 days so I'm paying attention to how you are doing so I can get a few tips

Here is the recipe for the whipped coconut cream. This is the chocolate version. Just leave out the cocoa if you want!

Quick drive-by. Up .6 this morning. Grrrrrr. But I slept like crap last night so perhaps that's it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

WOO HOO that is awesome Fatty!! I can't wait to eat 'like a normal family' again, LOL. I am so happy to hear about the reshaping too, I have been wondering alot about that the last few days or so. You are such an inspiration, I am so glad I am a bit behind you so I can 'watch' you as I get closer to my phase 3 and then p4

Thanks, Tuesday! I am glad that I am able to share my journey and hope that others can learn from it. While I Makes it worth more to me and feel like I am paying back for all the support I have received from all of you!

I chuckle at the 'normal family' comment. We are SO not normal! And I love it. But I get what you mean ~ sharing a meal together. I'm looking forward to it as well.
