VLCD Day 32

I am definitely running out of drops and there is no way I will make it to June 9 (so that the 10th and 11th would be VLCD without drops and the 12, my birthday, would be my first day of P3). I stayed the same today, so I'm still at 151.5lbs with a BMI of 28.60 (overweight), which is better than a gain, but I am for sure not getting to my goal of 145lbs. I still have the chance to get down to 150 though, so I'm going to do another steak and cake day and see if I can get down to 150. I am going to try to make the cake differently or mix the ingredients better or something, because I didn't love the cake, but it seemed like it could have been good if I had mixed it better or something.

I'm kind of bummed that all I have lost in the last 11 days is 3lbs, but it is still an average loss of 0.28 lbs a day, and I have still lost overall right? Overall things have turned out okay. I'm wondering if the problem is with my hCG, because it stayed in the car the whole time we were camping over the long weekend, which was pretty warm. For my next round (which won't be until September) I will make sure to keep it in the fridge or a cooler the whole time to make sure that it doesn't get too warm.

I'll keep going until I'm out of drops, then do the VLCD for 2 days after that then move on to P3. I have been trying to find lots of good recipes and info about P3, but it's so much less strict that it's almost easier to find a list of not allowed foods than a list of allowed foods, which makes me a little nervous because I think it will be harder to stick to since you might unintentionally eat something you shouldn't. I guess I'll start by eating a little more of the allowed P2 foods (with the exception of grissini or melba toast because they have starch) and mixing my vegetables. People keep saying to double your protein, but the Canad food guide says that a female adult should have 2 servings of protein a day where a serving is 75g, so that means that really I should be eating less protein doesn't it? I don't think I'll increase my protein, but I will increase my vegetables and add oil and different proteins that I'm not allowed now (like pork).

Anyway, we'll see what happens.
