Round 2

  1. The Sugar Addiction, and How I'm Fighting It, FINALLY

    Checking in with some interesting information...!

    The last month has been ROUGH with my eating habits. We went to Colorado on a ski trip with my closest girlfriends and I decided since I was on vacation, I would just eat whatever I wanted. That led to lots of indulgence in SUGAR, SUGAR, and MORE SUGAR. My meals were awesome and on-plan - no gluten, pretty much paleo, but my treats (and there were MANY) were ALL SUGAR!!!

    And I came back 3# above LDW, when we left I was ...

  3. Experimenting with Cocoa Crack

    I think I've finally managed to get the ingredient ratios adjusted to my liking.

    2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 T melted coconut oil
    2 T powdered xylitol (I put granulated xylitol in my Magic Bullet with the flat blade for 10-15 seconds)
    1/2 tsp vanilla

    I whisk it all together in a little glass bowl and then pour it into candy molds I got at the local craft store.

    I've been experimenting with add-ins. I'll place a tiny amount of finely ...

  6. Cinnamon Mug Cake

    I altered this recipe from one found here. The original recipe calls for sugar and flour. I thought I'd share my alterations that make it P3 friendly. My kids LOVE it, too! I didn't like the cinnamon crumb topping enough for the extra work it required, so I just mixed some of the ingredients into the batter to make a cinnamon cake.

    Ingredients needed:

    2 T butter (I use unsalted b/c that's what I have but I'm pretty sure salted wouldn't make much of a difference) ...

  7. Decided it was a PI

    So my trip was a blast, but there was indulgence in a few non P3 foods, and I paid for it with a 5.4# gain. I'm back on P2 for a little while longer - not sure exactly when I'm going to stop. I'm not yet back to my LDW from Round 2, but honestly I'm pretty happy with the weight I am. It would be nice to have some cushion, and I guess it might be nice to be even smaller, but I'm in an XS top and size 4 pants already and am (barely) at a normal BMI for my {very short} height.

  9. Stopping hhcg...

    Not sure if this will be a PI or just moving into P3. I'd like to lose another 8 pounds but I'm leaving town Tuesday evening for a girls' trip and will be in little control of my food. The good news is that most of our meals will be paleo, with just a few at restaurants - but I know how to eat at restaurants during P3 so I'm not too worried about that. I'll see how I maintained when I get back and may opt to do another couple of weeks with the hhcg.

    This past week was spent recovering ...
