R3 P3 D6....First Steak Day :)

Well, I was really good yesterday. I exercised for 45 minutes, and ate well. But still this morning was +2.2 above LIW! I was actually excited to get on the scale because I thought for sure I would be down. BUT- ovulation should have been sometime in the last couple days, I exercised for the first time in a long time yesterday (legs are sore), and I ate dinner really late. So, I guess I will do a steak day. I really want a date pecan muffin right now, but I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow:) I was not going to do steak days this round when I know the eating was okay, and if I knew there were things like ovulation or exercise involved. I want to get my body used to correcting itself without drastic measures. But I decided that because I was a little nuts my first few days that I would do one and see if the weight drops. After doing 3 rounds I have learned so much. Many people have said their steak days don't do anything for them. My theory on that is this: if the weight is water it will come right off. If it is from over eating, there will be a small drop, but not the big ones like the book says. It will take several days of clean eating, with fewer calories to correct itself. My guess is that I did over eat a bit, but with the ovulation and exercise it will be interesting to see how much comes off. This is the first time I will be doing a steak day that is not on the day of or before TOM starts. I have only done one steak day each round on that day. Kind of a bummer, but also a chance to learn more about my body. I have not stayed at one weight yet this round so I have no idea where my body is wanting to lock. With ovulation being right in the middle of it, it is hard to say. In past months I gain about 1.6 to 1.8 with ovulation for a few days. Here goes nothing!! :)

Here is what I ate today:

tea with cream

1 oz cheese

1 lb steak with onion and mushroom, apple

1 oz cheese

3 liters of water!
