Quick P3 Update

Weight: 174. 2 (+0.2, +0.8 LDW, -24.4)

Hey guys and dolls. So I didn't get a chance to update yesterday (cue hectic work schedule and me being friggin' exhausted) so I'll give you a brief update. I worked all day yesterday. My weight stayed the same yesterday, but as you can see from above, it went up a little bit today.

Today was my first official day of P3 including P3 eating. It was HARD to eat 1500 calories, and even trying as hard as I did, I only managed to get about 1400 (which was actually about 1250 because I went and walked on my break between shifts today). I find it's always easier to eat during the morning and early afternoon. Tonight I was so busy that it took me almost an hour to eat an 8 oz. piece of salmon and broccoli. But OH MY GOSH was it good! I forgot how much I love salmon! I can for sure see myself eating salmon like, every single day.

I have this great app on my phone from caloriecount.com that I'm using to help me keep track of everything. The awesome thing is that it has this little pie chart that shows you what percentage of your food is fats, carbs, proteins, etc. I made an "A" for my grade today (go me!) and the largest portion of my pie was proteins, but only at 43%. I remember reading somewhere that in P3 your proteins should make up at least 50% of your daily intake, if not higher. This protocol is a learning experience though, so I'll take what I learn every day and build off of it. Tomorrow's goal: increase my protein to 50%!

I'll have more time to write a good long post tomorrow. I think I'm going to do one on P3 fears, because I have a lot of them! It's so nice to just have somewhere to talk about how I feel. I hope one day this blog will be viewed by a lot of fellow HCG dieters so that I can help others get through the same things I have :)

Good night!
