R5 Day 10 P3 114.8 (+1.8, +.8 of LDW )

I knew it...

I am not upset as I know this is mostly water weight. We had a BBQ last night where I had a bunless sodium filled burger with cheese, as well as 4 devilled eggs and lots of wine. I wasn't concerned as I was under my LDW and I know a few days of watching the sodium and keeping my water up will knock that weight right back down.

I really don't have much to say. I'm just trying to get everything I need done, done. I'm slightly overwhelmed... :)

Okay, since this post is so drab, I bring you not 1, but 2 videos that had me in stitches yesterday:

R5 Day 9 P3 113 (-1.4, -1 of LDW )

Woah!

I'll take it!!!

Thanks so much, Susan! I was thoroughly freaked out yesterday but you put my mind at ease! I did a little more research and orange roughy will often cause that symptom! Eegads, as much as I love the flavor, I am never again touching that fish!!

Stats!

Off to check in on you before I get going to the store. It will be 70 degrees today! We are so going to BBQ!

R5 Day 8 P3 114.4 (+.2, +.4 of LDW )

I'm surprised by my weight today as I hardly ate a thing with all my running around, but I also didn't get enough water in. Not a big deal, but I'd really like to be 112 by the time we take off.

This may be TMI for some of you so if you're grossed out, skip this paragraph. I had a strange and scary BM this morning where there was oil in my stool. I was afraid to google the symptoms as I tend to panic easily, but decided I better. There could be any number of causes but one that stood out was gallbladder issues. I remember reading in P&I about gallbladders having a rude awakening after P2 and I've experienced loose stools, but never oil in my stool. The other thing is that I ate orange roughy yesterday. I remember it made me gain in P2 and that it seemed particularly oily to me so I am wondering if that had anything to do with it. I am going to keep an eye on it and if it persists I'll get myself to the doctor but for now I'm not going to worry. I told my husband about it (the cool head between us) and he said he'd had it before. Didn't blink an eye.

Sorry if that was horrid but I thought I ought to share given we've all done rounds and in case it happens to you, then we have experiences to compare.

Another busy day, but mostly because I've got my kids home so we're going to the movies in about an hour. They deserve it. Both got As on their report cards. Celebrate!

Hearts and kisses to you! Time to check to see how all y'all are!

R5 Day 7 P3 114.2 (-.2, +.2 of LDW )

Thanks for the feedback, guys! It seems 5 & 2 of the short cuts were the favorites... NEW question... Everyone seemed to like the longer hair with the layers... I can do that, but not that long without extensions. Shall I go for that same look but shoulder length?

Busy day ahead... Short day at school for the kids, then parent teacher conferences, then showing homes, then the Utah Wine Club officers meeting. Loooooooooooooooong day. If my kids do well enough, we'll hit Megamind tomorrow. :)

Off to drop off the kids and check in on you!

R5 Day 6 P3 114.4 (-1.8, +.4 of LDW )

Whew, that's better! Steak days work. I'm going to be a lot more careful given this is the time my hypothalamus is resetting. I got so used to eating P3 style in P4, I almost forgot we're still working here!

My candidate lost HANDEDLY. He only got 31% of the vote against a guy with only a high school education who doesn't believe in science. *SIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHH*

Okay, I need your advice. I know I'm going dark for winter with my hair, but I'm trying to figure out the style. My stylist has been going for this look, only shorter:

I like this, but am considering going even shorter. I'm just not sure. Here is me about 11 years ago with REALLY short hair:

Here are some ideas for hair I have:

Look 1

Look 2

Look 3

Look 4

Look 5

Anyway, I'd be curious what you guys think. My hairdresser thinks I should go as long as I can because of my face shape (which I totally got while I was overweight). My husband also prefers it a little longer, but I don't know - look 4 is awfully kicky! I like all the looks though.

Busy day today but I'm off to check on you all! Thanks again for alllllll your support and help!

XOXO

R5 Day 5 P3 116.2 (+.8, +2.2 of LDW )

What the hell?

I don't get it. Is it possible Costco roasted chicken is full of sodium?

Steak day. Good thing I'm busy. I have an appointment at 11 this morning, then I have property management work to do, and this evening at 6 I have 3 homes to show. I'll get my steak in at 5 before I leave.

Lots of water and tea today. I AM having coffee now with cream (I always do).

XOXO

PS...

VOTE!

R5 Day 4 P3 115.4 (+.6, +1.4 of LDW )

UGH.

I ate steak throughout the day thinking I could do a modified steak day and then FELL INTO THE DAMNED CHEESE CURDS LAST NIGHT. What's WRONG with me???

Lean protein and lots of water today, yessirree.
