On day 7 of IP January re-boot. I'm doing a slightly, but not much modified ph 1. Egg whites instead of the IP packaged omelettes. Adding leftover dinner veggies or fresh and my usual 2 cups of coffee.
I've been having either caesar salad lunches or IP soups with salads.
While I was on IP the first time I did not use the protein bars until I had almost reached my goal. This time, I crave them and don't feel I could be doing this without them, so I'm using Nashua Nutrition Healthsmart bars which are very similar in nutritional composition AND whatever I have leftover from IP. I love my poppyseed lemon protein bars from IP. Have not yet found another brand with similar nutritional comp. If you read this and have found something similar let me know.
So far so good. I feel like (and believe me I'm knocking on wood, because this is SO one day at a time for me) I got a nice rhythm going and will be strict until next Saturday when I go on a 2 week visit with family, but will be very mindful of my intake. Fortunately, most of my family are kind of fitness/food geeks, so it won't be that difficult to resist sugar and alcohol, which are my deadly combination. I want to have lost my extra maintenance weight before I go, so I am ahead of the game. I don't weigh in until Monday, but I think I'll be well on my way by then, and still have the following week to nail it!
I realize I need to look at the January re-boot as a yearly part of my maintenance, so If I have gained up to 10 lbs. back, I can take it off every year, rather than let it get back to 40 lbs!!!! All in all, a way better choice than having to start dieting full on all over again.
