Seems like I had to do a correction during R6 that included a night of eating out. Today, it was an afternoon and boy, was I nervous! I ordered the small, chicken coconut curry (no rice) and side salad. I drank 24 ounces of water with my lunch. This morning, I had about 24 ounces of water, along with my coffee. For dinner? Chicken thighs and a nice cup of tea. Please, oh please let me be in the green tomorrow! Corrections are no fun, even if you're doing something other than a steak day (those are really no fun).

My eldest still doesn't know if she's captain or not. Both returners expressed that they were fine with being either. The coach indicated that they will spend the summer getting to know each other, then she will have the girls vote (leaving the final vote for herself). It should be an interesting summer.

The mothers seem to be eager to help, but I sensed some hesitancy with some of them. I know that being the only chocolate chip, they probably don't know how to take me. They better get over it because I'm here to stay. I helped the coach with some ideas and sent her pictures of my daughter's current outfits, so she'll know what the girls already have. The coach seems eager to make the year work and I love that she's so enthusiastic (she has a 4 month old daughter and a two year old son), so she's already asking for parental help. Here I am!

Zaura seems excited and she's really glad that the coach is listening to all of the girls and their ideas. I hope it will be a great year for all of them.

I had a 1.6lb gain (172.2lbs) in salt, salt salt (yep...already determined what it is). I'll take my Miralax tonight nd tomorrow. That should be the end of my seven days. It's truly been like pudding, but I don't want to lose the flow (ha!). Here's what I had:

UPDATE on MARCH 21 - I was incorrect! My LIW was 169.8, so I was not over, yesterday. Even still, the correction was a great motivator to get things moving. :)

The scale mocked me with a 170.2lb weight this morning, which puts me 2.4lbs above my LIW. Not only that, but I knew I was going to weigh heavy as soon as I got up. The bloat was unmistakable. My Super Cleanse/Apple Cider Vinegar sucker punch did nothing! So, I drank a huge Smart Water, Coffee, Tea and ate chicken for lunch and dinner (having a sugar-free coconut chocolate, just because). I added a cap-ful of Miralax to the last of my water and prayed.

Just before dinner, I had a nice void. There may be more to come, which would suit me just fine. I felt so much better. Truly! It shouldn't take this much just to get the works moving again. I'm checking that lady's site today to see what probiotics she takes on P3. She takes five a day and I know I don't have enough to do that much for a three week period.

Here's to a nice loss tomorrow and a few more voids (if possible):

I'm doing a correction day today due to my lovely creation (and too much alcohol), yesterday.  French Onion Soup Gratinee...ah, so wonderful. It was soothing, warm and utterly divine. I did not have bread, but added the Swiss and Asiago liberally. Earlier for lunch, I had shrimp and gyoza. The salt there was probably murder, not to mention the soup in all it's salty glory.

So, it's payback time. I've had 32 ounces of water and 16 ounces of coffee (plus a little steamed milk). I added lemon to my water to help rid me of the retention. Hubby is bringing home chicken tonight, so I'll be sure to eat the fatty portions. I hope this will clear me because I plan to have a good time while I'm away this weekend.

I missed my workout this morning (weird sleep, again. I'll blame the alcohol; red wine and vodka. Never again!) and I don't want to miss any more this week. I'll also work out with hubby while we're away. I told him that would be the only way I'd let apple pie cross my lips (we absolutely fell in love with Coco's Bakery, last time we were in Vegas).

My hope is to post tonight but if I don't, it's all about chicken for dinner and the completion of my (successful?) correction day. Only two so far and this is the first for maintenance! (I had one in P3).
