Wow what a great day! I came in just under 1500 calories, finished off my whipping cream this morning in my coffee, and later on had a cup with whole milk in it, and what a difference in my body's reaction - no intense craving for more, so that tells me what I already knew, high fat dairy is a trigger for me.
Dinner was interesting, I had kale, a pork chop and scrambled eggs with a tiny bit of shredded mozzarella. So, weird, but high protein and I was SO HUNGRY!
Now for the part that had

R3 P3 Day 21 - 114.6 (-0.7, LDW +1.8)
Well, that was a little better anyway, so I'll count that steak day as a success!
I came in at 1470 calories today, I'm hoping that I will be in range tomorrow, and if so, then I'll consider myself stabilized. If not, then I'll continue P3 until I feel like I'm stabilized. It's not that I'm in a hurry to add carbs back in, I plan on taking my time with that (other than on my upcoming birthday), it's more that I just want to move on to the next phase, so that I can get on with things like

R3 P3 Day 20 - 115.3 (+1.0, LDW +2.5)
Arrgh!! Steak day today, my third of this round's phase 3. Which is okay. I just don't like that it's happening at the end of P3. So, I'll extend phase 3 by a day, possibly more depending on our plans on Saturday, and take it super easy and slow with adding foods back in.
I'm not sure what happened, I was very thirsty yesterday and drank a lot of water, so it could be water retention, it could be because I was up quite a bit earlier than usual today, and got about 3 hours less sleep than

R3 P3 Day 19 - 114.3 (+0.2, LDW +1.5)
Slight fluctuation, not bad.
Today, I tried cheese made from raw milk, just one ounce, we'll see what happens on the scale tomorrow. I also cut down my cream intake, by having herbal tea in the afternoon, and in the evening (although I did have some eggnog coffee, 2 coffees to be exact after dinner). So over all, a better day calorically, and dairy wise than the last little bit. Again, we'll see what the scale has to say tomorrow.
I was really thirsty through most of the day, and getting

R3 P3 Day 18 - 114.1 (-0.1, LDW +1.3)
Nice slight downward fluctuation... I'll take it lol.
Today was a busy day, I had a consult with a client, grocery shopping, birthday party for our nephew. All in all a good day!
Calorie wise, I came in at around 1600, got the other half's son hooked on kale (guess what's for dinner tomorrow guys?). I'd made some to go with my chicken at lunch and let him try, and he liked it too. I cut down a bit on the dairy today, so we'll see if it makes a difference. Baby steps.
That's all for

R3 P3 Day 17 - 114.2 (+0.6, LDW +1.4)
Well, darn. But with the added calories and the cheese splurge yesterday, it was bound to happen.
I planned my day out better today, specifically with regards to my snacks. I had some chicken as a snack, and a fair bit of coffee with cream (hopefully not too much to make the scale unhappy with me tomorrow morning).
Both lunch and dinner were chicken, at lunch I had tomato and cucumber with it, at dinner, I cooked kale - yummy! The other half and his son had pizza, and for a moment I

R3 P3 Day 16 - 113.6 (-1.0, LDW +0.8)
I'll take it! Don't know how or why, but it was a very pleasant surprise on the scale this morning!
Must make sure we have kale for dinner tonight. Last night, the other half said "where's the kale?" when he was presented with green beans (a fave of his). He's been reading a lot about healthy eating, and now wants to do it. Never mind that I've been telling him all this stuff for years, sigh... Now that he's READ it, it's valid. Sigh. Men. LOL. But hey, if he finally starts drinking water,
