Todays meals: Chicken soup with additional chicken breast added, Nyquil Daytime, Nyquil.
Hit with a wicked flu, condition red, condition red... suspended hcg & VLCD until I'm off the meds - unless this bug kills me, in which case I'll most likely not be taking any more at all.
Suspended weight training and cardio as well - unless you want to count me running to the porcelain temple to hurl as aerobic exercise.

Hoping to see more of a loss after the increase in ketones, but did use liberal amounts of salt yesterday, might just have to wait to see the loss show on the scale.

Guess I did alright with the upper body weight training - if the dull ache in my arms & chest mean anything. Energy level was good, lifted for 50 minutes.

DAY 3 VLCD
Loss from previous weigh in 1.0 lbs, TOTAL Loss 6.4 lbs
End of load - 203.6
#1 VLCD - 201.4
#2 VLCD - 198.2
#3 VLCD - 197.2
Todays meals: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 apples, 3 chicken breasts - salted, lemon peppered, garlic, chunked on salad
** 1/2 cup sugar/fat free pudding made w/skim milk (Hey, it WAS the SuperBowl after all.)
Well, isn't this a fine howdoyado ? Every other round I was at least back to my pre-load weight by day 3 VLCD, impressive losses - this time, not so much. No worries though, expect a delay in losses due to water retention from working out and what not.
Will tell you what though - SPOILT on the protocol. Going from that and 60 lbs of loss with NO exercise AT ALL - to this - 30 min-60 min cardio/weight training 6 days a week. WORKING for it this time. Not easy to do - but looking forward to something that I missed with the protocol losses - a feeling of accomplishment.
I mean, really putting in some effort. I know some people say they don't find the protocol all that easy - compared to THIS - a piece of cake. Mmmmm... cake.
Seriously though, for me at least - putting in the time, the effort AND eating right - gives a certain sense of pride and achievement. Might I, could I, will I - revisit the glory days from my 1st BFL 10 years ago ? Honestly doubt it, but it serves me well to know what I accomplished before, and hoping beyond hope - that once I achieve WHATEVER I achieve, the stabilization from the protocol will "lock in" a new set point, and that unlike the 1st time on BFL - if I stop working out due to injury or simply by choice - I WON'T balloon back up.
