R6, P2, VLCD 34 - Testing Theories

After pouring over my blog a bit and reevaluating my use of MyFitnessPal, I've come to a conclusion; I have amazing losses on P2 when the carbohydrates are between 10 and 20 grams. That's crazy low, but it seems to work. Today, I tried to work on this but also found that my calories were quite low as well. I will see about having something a little heartier at dinner tomorrow (rotisserie chicken and asparagus, perhaps).

If this works (we'll see what happens with tomorrow's weigh-in), I'll continue with this route for the next few days. If I stall or problems arise, I'll simply take the calorie count back up to a round 500 and increase my carbs. Pretty simple.

I'm running low on HCG and am beginning to wonder if I'll have enough to make it over the next few days. If I run out, I'll have to cut things short and begin my three day stint sooner than expected. If I do, I will still start P4 on September 24th as planned. A few extra days of P3 shouldn't cause me trouble (in fact, I'm hoping for good results).

I'm making a P3 staple (Bacon and Cheddar Quiche) for my coworker who's on sick leave. I'll be getting up an extra half hour early to make sure it's nice and warm for him when I deliver it. Because I'll be taking it to work first, I figured I'd better make two so the guys at the station can have one. Am I doing too much? Perhaps, but it's a treat for me just to see them happy with something I've made. This morning, I brought in cinnamon rolls and oatmeal raisin cookies (I didn't make them myself, which is why they were still there when I left).

No more alcohol in my system, so I had a .6lb loss this morning, putting me at 180.4lbs. Here's what I had today (again, much lower than usual):
