LPT

Jul 25, 2008

So  I  spent  the  whole  last  month  at  about  the  same  wt.  It  would  go  up  a  few  come  down  a  few  but  averaged  the  same  wt.  I  was   exercising  everyday.  Drinking  my  64+ oz.  Eating  1/2  cup  food  three  times  a  day  and  two  protien  drinks  for  my  snacks..  For  the  life  of  me  I  could  not  figure  out  why  in  the  world  could  I  not  loss  anything...  Then  I  took  a  look  at  what  I  was  eating....

Breakfast  was  1/2  cup  of  my  casorole  it  has
cottage  cheese
sherredded  cheese
eggs
spinach
chopped  steak
baked  to  a  nice  cruchy  top  in  a  13x9  baking  dish

Lunch  was  my  home made  pizza  which  has
cream  cheese,  sour  cream,  italian  seasoning,  egg  and parmasan, blended  and  baked  into  a  thin  crust
no  sugar  added  spagetti  sauce
pieces  of  shaved  turkey
mozzerella  and  cheddar  cheese,  baked  to  bubbly  warm

Dinner
scrambled  egg  with  cheese  and  spinach  when  I  got  home  from  work..

does  anyone  see  the  common  denominator...  CHEESE
So  what  I  learned  is  EVERYTHING  has  to  be  in  moderation.

Cheese  based  foods  don't  seem  to  bother  my  tummy  like  solid  protien  does  and  it  was  the  easy  way  to  just  eat  and  get  it  over with.

The  morning  I  started  the  LPT  I  weighed  in  at  185.8  pounds  Three  days  of  following  the  LPT  guidelines  I  weighed  in  this  moring  at  177  pounds.

I'm  less  constipated  this  morning  hehehe.  Now  I  need  to  learn  how to  get  solid  protien  in...

Tried  to  eat  breakfast,  no  go...  queasy  and  icky  eggs  in  my  tummy  with  the  first  bite...  So  I  waited  30  mins  and  had  a  protien  shake...

Each  second,  each  minute,  each  hour  of  everyday  is  a  new  chance  to  learn  and  relearn  and  learn  the  lesson  again  till  it  becomes  second  nature.

After a month of sitting at the same weight the scales moved. Geez plateaus suck...
I've been slacking here because I have an ulcer and I can no longer have coffee or cigerrettes. So for me I had to not be on the computer. Food has never been allowed at my computer desk so it has always been coffee and cigerrettes. I had to break the habit....
I have now been coffee free and cigerrette free since July 3rd.

Lets see in eight months I dropped from size 28 stretch pants down to size 12 jeans. Size 5x shirt down to medium (yes they were always big on me but that was the point of hiding in my clothes) My scrubs for work went from 4x down to Mediums. My ring size went from size 11 down to size 8. My shoe size from 10W to size 9. My underwear from size 11 down to size 8. My self esteem went from non existance to "like I care what you think" HA! Oh I have a neck... Still searching for the rest of my collar bones, I know there here somewhere. Oh and I weigh less them my husband WOO HOO.... I went from red hair to bleached blonde . my bra from size 48DD to 36-38D depending on the maker. My weight went from 316 down to 193.
