(161.8)

This week has been crazy!

I haven't been really eating all the recommended foods. I have been skipping veggies, sometimes bread and can't seem to get a grip. I always do well for breakfast and lunch, but in the evenings, I'm getting home late, eating late, skipping a part of the meal and even taking my HCG more than 12hrs from the first dose. I know this cannot be good. I visited a friend and didn't get home until after 9pm. I was supposed to take my 2nd dose of HCG at 6:30. I couldn't eat at her house, but she did have an apple. I don't know the weight, but it was average size.

Lunch - apple 75, chicken 110cal, bread 23
Dinner - apple (no meat, no veggies, no bread) Ughhh..

P2D17 (162.9)

Yep!!! I've lost another pound! Yipppeeee.. I am wearing a pair of pants I haven't seen in years! They're a 12 but like a jr.'s fit. Before I started this program I was thinking I would get down to about 135-140. After seeing how much FAT I've loss, I'm thinking that may be too light! I'll see as I lose more weight. Two people on my job said to me, "you look like you've loss weight".. hahahahaha.. I just smiled and said, "I DID" :). They've notice I've changed my eating and also, very cautious about "tasting" foods that they've bought in. I see the biggest change in my upper body. My bottom is a little bigger and although I know I'm losing some of it, too, it takes a little longer to see a MAJOR change. (i don't wanna lose too much of that anyway..lol)

My arms are skinnier, my chest area is thinner and my cheeks and neck are absolutely PERFECT! I can see how much slimmer my face is. I don't feel puffy at all!

I've been keeping my menu's really simple. Eliminating the sodium as much as possible and drinking my water. I will be trying a few new recipes that I found on this awesome Hcgdieters blog. It's http://hcgrecipes.blogspot.com/ I've used the apple dessert and I'm going to try the crab recipe this weekend.

I'm going to start looking into the plan for Phase 3 and 4. Just in case I decide that after this bottle, to take a break and then start again later. I'm not sure, but I like the thought of being able to do that. I'm headed home, so I'll check in later or in the morning.

Cya! :-)

P2D16 (163.9)

I know.. it's not an error... I didn't lose anything. I'm not upset though. LOLOL My daughter just called me at work and said, "good morning ma, do you have something to tell me?" LOL she is sooo into my progress! It's not only exciting for me, but for her as well! She's getting a glimpse of what she can expect when she starts the end of this month.

Anyway, what I was about to say was, I'm not upset or surprised at the scale not moving this morning. I barely ate anything yesterday. I mean I didn't even write it down. I drank 4 cups of coffee, and had about 50 calories of strawberries for lunch. I did not drink much water at all, and then I didn't eat dinner until 9:30pm. I scarfed down chicken, an apple, some asparagus, the bread and 3 glasses of water and went to bed.

Today, I'm being more careful in not letting the day go by without eating like I should. Also, back to drinking my water throughout the day and night try and cram it all in at night. On top of that, I splashed a little Braggs L. A. on my aparagus, although I barely ate 7 of them. So, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I expect some loss. Still excited and half way there!

I am definitely shrinking in inches. I haven't measured since the start, but it's very apparent to me and to a few others. My face is soooo small! A lot of the chubbiness is gone from my cheeks. One of the more important once's for me was the thighs rubbing. Ughh, well the mermaid is leaving! lol I'm starting to have 2 Legs Again! It feels GREAT. I will be taking pictures tonight just for my journal. I will also measure again for progress updates.

My coworker came by today and said.. "have you seen, (my name)". I laughed, I said, "yes, I've seen her Melting Away". He said I can see a difference. He's the only one outside of Sue and my daughter that knows about the protocol. He supports it and is so excited to witness the transformation.

Today's Lunch:
Chicken 100g
cucumbers w/braggs apple cider vinegar (24cal)
1/2 gf 69cal
melba toast 23

Enjoy Your Day!! :-)

P2D14 (163.9!!) LOLOLOL!!

My daughter runs in here first thing this morning! "What did the scale say?" I tell her, "163.9" she tells me, "ma, that's craaaazy", then she smiles so hard! We are both soooo ecstatic! I am so in love with this diet. Not being hungry, energy galore, just sitting back watching the pounds melt off!

I just finished cooking breakfast (wearing my blue surgical gloves) lol. They had pancakes, scrambled eggs and turkey bacon, apple juice and strawberries. I had no desire for anything they had. I've actually been doing very well with preparing food for them. We've even been out to restaurants and I just drink my little ol' water. I usually eat my food before we go, and take a fruit with me just in case. This is very manageable and I'm really enjoying this time to think about my food choices once I'm past P2.

My daughter has decided she would like to try the protocol. She's 4'9 and 141 pounds. She's in college, but lives in her own apt. so I'm going to help her with her foods. She's going to start after her birthday weekend on the 23, use that weekend to load. Since she is a student, I would purchase, weigh and package all of her meats. She can do the veggies herself. I'm happy that she is willing to do this for herself. Just like her mom, weight has always been an issue for her. There was only one period in her life where she was truly happy about her size. She must have been in her senior year for high school. So she graduates with her BA next year, wouldn't it be great to be feeling FABULOUS and looking good for such a Great Achievement. I can't wait!

Well, I'm going to surf some recipes for the family and start on this day. Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the morning! :-)

Breakfast - strawberries (30cal), Black coffee w/stevia

Lunch - 100g of chicken, cucumbers in ACV (54cal) and bread (23)

Dinner will be a repeat of lunch. :-)

CYA!

VLCD 13 (166.1)

Well I don't have to tell ya I'm thrilled! It feels good to finally be getting the hang of this. No more errors for me! I'm looking forward to amazing results by my birthday 10-31, so that gives me a whole month to keep it going. Now I know everyday won't produce big numbers, but a little goes a long way, so lets go! :-)

Today for breakfast I had Strawberries w/stevia and black coffee with stevia, too. I'll be looking online later today to look for the sugar free flavor drops to add to my coffee. I'm doing pretty good with just drinking it. I guess just knowing that it's for a great purpose that I can just about tolerate anything! I just finished preparing my meats for next week. I went to Sam's club and brought fresh chicken breast tenderloins, washed, trimmed all visible fat, weighed and bagged 100g each. Next I'll do the talapia. It's so much easier to just grab a bagged thats already weighed and marked with the calories, pop them on the griddle and go! I'm looking for some other veggies. Im finding myself getting bored with the cucumbers, cabbage and asparagus. I'll check online for more recipes.

Anywho, I have to get going. I've been up since 6am, did a few loads of laundry, cooked breakfast for the fam, did my Saturday morning radio show, cleaned my meats and now it's time to entertain my neice and nephew along with my little one. It's a Beautiful day, now we need to get out and enjoy it!

Enjoy!!

Evening P2D12

I arrived home on time and was ready to take my second dose. I'm sooo NOT hungry! I'm drinking water and ate an apple, just to get something in. I'm hoping by 8:30 I will be ready to eat my shrimp, asparagus and melba toast.

Didn't eat the toast.. was just not hungry.. :)

Dinner - shrimp (98 cal), asparagus (32 cal)(well probably a little less b/c I didn't eat them all), apple (63) and I forgot to eat the bread.

Total Calories for the day - 396. Going to bed.. see ya in the am :-)

VLCD 12 (167.4) :-)

YAYY!!! I'm finally over the error! Thank God!
I just weighed in and had to update. I need to get ready for work so I'll fill you in this afternoon :-)

I'm so happy today! Its lunchtime and I'm having shrimp (99cal), cucumbers (20cal), Mtoast (23). I had the 1/2 grapefruit for breakfast with stevia and my coffee w/1Tbsp of milk. So far 3-20oz cups of water and now drinking hot green tea. I also stopped taking my Vitamin D pills. I was reading that you should avoid oil based supplements and this one I was taking looked like a gel nyquil thingy. I'm not sure if it had some oil substance or not, but I didn't want to take a chance. I'll resume taking them later on. (its not life and death). So total lunch calories (203)

I'll check in later this evening. Enjoy your day!
