YAY!! Finally... hopefully this is the beginning of another downhill loss.

To add to yesterdays "off" day I forgot to do the HCG before I went to bed too. UGH! So, I took it at 7 am this morning (only 4 sprays) and will do it again at my normal times today. I feel "lighter" too. It's always uplifting to get a loss after being discouraged for a few days.

I went to lunch with my dad and kids and had a chicken salad. Then I didn't eat again until I got home from the viewing I went to and I had lettuce and about a cup of cottage cheese.

I felt "lighter" today not that heavy feeling. I think I'm going to start taking my supplements, Enzymes, Cleanse, Multi-Vitamin and Antioxident. I hope that won't affect anything.

Ok so today I decided I'm at a plateau so I need to do something about this because I'm getting discouraged. I am frustrated enough that I forget to do the HCG in the morning because I'm so concerned about getting my eggs ready for the day. For some reason I knew the eggs weren't right but that's what I had to do before so that's what I where my mind was. I had 4 eggs before 2 in the afternoon when I realized after reading on a forum DUH!! it's an Apple Day. Guess I'll eat apples instead of finishing the day with Eggs and see what happens.

The day just dragged but I got a few things done in the living room.

I ended up having about 3 or 4 apples. I cannot even remember. My last apple was at 6:30ish then my friend picked me up and we went to a Stampin Up Demonstrator meeting. I got a Lipton Unsweetened Iced Tea and a cup of Ice from the gas station on my way there and drank that for the rest of the night. I was full the rest of the night.

Overall it was just an OFF day but we need these for some reason I guess. LOL

P2R2VLCD8

P2R2VLCD8:

Weight: -.2
Total: -20.6

Sublingual Spray 250 IU hcg daily.
5000 iu HCG
5 ml b-12
15 ml 80 proof Vodka
Metered Spray .5 (12 sprays)
6 in morning 6 in evening

Notice? The change of HCG sub-lingual recipe? Yup, I changed it this time.... More Vodka (just for you remi LOL) and less B-12. I ran out of B-12 LOL and I thought maybe using more Vodka will taste better. It was getting a pretty bitter taste at the end there.

Ok so today... well I didn't eat anything until about 2. I just wasn't all that hungry, so I ate some cottage cheese. I've decided to eat some cottage cheese to replace some of my chicken. I love chicken but... I hate cooking and it's so hot to cook all day. I then had an apple about 4 and didn't have dinner until about 8 pm. Yep that's right, 8 pm. Big day today! I had garlic ground chicken patties (cooked on GF Grill) and tomatoes on romaine lettuce leaves with a little of the Mayo (with olive oil) mixed with curry and tonight a little Chipotle Chile Powder. YUMMY!

I just mixed my newest HCG and it's 1 am. Baby A is awake and I have NO idea why. She's been up early and not taking very long naps either. She doesn't seem to feel sick or anything. Dunno!

Before I forget... I got a new (to me) car today. It's not the bestest but it's pretty dang cute. It's a green (my fav color next to pink) Jetta! Yes, I used to have a Jetta before kids and of course had to turn it in at the end of my lease.

Oh and I took my new little car and Z to the new Organic store in town. I wasn't too impressed. I ended up going to Sam's after that store and got my favorite produce there. I wasn't happy I had just spent $$ at the organic store and ended up at Sam's anyway. Oh well.

Oh and I started TOM yesterday. I can't remember if I noted that.

Until tomorrow! Ciao!

P2R2Day7

P2R2VLCD7:

Weight: +.8
Total: -20.4

Sublingual Spray 250 IU hcg daily.
5000 iu HCG
15 ml b-12
5 ml 80 proof Vodka
Metered Spray .5 (12 sprays)
6 in morning 6 in evening

Starting this phase has been very strange for me. I wasn't really ready I guess. I started the spray last sunday night. I kept forgetting in the morning. So, I planned on starting the VLCD Tuesday. Then Tuesday came and I really wanted Ice Cream so I said ok Wed. Same thing... I just wanted Ice Cream. I really was going to start Thursday. Well, as you guess it I didn't. Didn't start Friday either or Saturday or Sunday!!

Today I have started the VLCD not exact to protocol but Ice Cream or Bread isn't included in my meal plan today. So far I wasn't hungry this morning but I made a plate with mixed lettuce greens about 3/4 cup of cottage cheese and a cut up tomato. The tomato didn't look too great and the lettuce tasted funny. So, I shared the Cottage Cheese with A. I've been drinking a TON of water.

I got hungry about 2:30ish so I decided to cut up 2 boiled eggs and used a little of the Mayo with Olive Oil to mix it and sprinkled some curry powder in it. I know sounds gross! It was actually good. I then put it on Romaine Lettuce leaves and ate it like that. A tried to share that with me too but I melted some cheese on a piece of bread and put turkey on it for her. She still wanted mine. She shared hers with her dad as he walked in the door.

For dinner I don't know what I'm going to have but I'm craving the ground chicken with garlic on romaine lettuce that I made last week. The kids and U LOVED it. Some ate it on bread but most of us had it on the lettuce.

Ok it's now the next day and I'm just finishing this. For dinner I mixed a can of tuna with a few spoons of the Mayo with Olive Oil and some Hot Dog Relish.... It wasn't exactly what I imagined but was edible. I ate it on the romaine lettuce leaves. Now, I need to go shopping again.

I didn't get hungry the rest of the night and felt fine. Other than the fact I started TOM today. Guess that's why I had a little gain but it's not as bad as it was last round. Thank goodness.

I'm a Dork!

I was going to start my HCG yesterday and can you believe I totally forgot to spray? Then, I was going to start today and the same thing... SO I'm going to spraydouble before I go to bed and then in the morning so I hope it's not too much of a no no. We'll see...

So far this weekend (since thursday) I've had

Sushi
Cherry Coke
Subway
IceBerg Shake
Indian Food
McD's Chicken Nuggets
Fries
Ogies Turkey, Swiss and Avocado sandwich
Cinnamon Roll
Coffee with real sugar
and I have a hot fudge sundae with extra hot fudge in the freezer waiting for later.

I think I've gained 6 lbs. LOL It's funny to tell people you are trying to gain weight.

Honestly next Phase 3 and 4 I don't think I'm going to eat this heavy. It's not very fun. I feel yucky, very bloated and super heavy and tired. I've taken a nap probably every day this weekend. I have a lot of stuff to do because I've decided to move all the rooms in my house around except the kitchen and bathroom. LOL

TMI Warning!! I have more gas now than I did during the VLCD. It's so weird. Never thought I'd notice something like that but I did notice it.

This means LOTS of de-cluttering and work!

P4R1D1 AMAZING

Ok I don't know if we are supposed to exactly "maintain" weight on phase 4 because it's not exactly written out in the details. I'm not sure why but when I woke up this morning and weighed I was down 1 lb from yesterday taking me below LDW (last dose weight) over 2 lbs. This means I've lost more than 20 lbs... 22.5 to be exact! OMG I'm sooo excited.

I ate left over salad on Sunday and it made me sick. I was seriously ill all day. TMI Warning: I actually threw it up later in the evening. I didn't eat anything else that day because I wasn't feeling well.

Monday I wasn't feeling so well still but I did eat. I can't remember what I ate but I know I did.

Tuesday I took the boys to McD's and I went to Beto's and got a Chicken burrito and chips with Guac and a side of pinto beans. I ate almost half of the chips and almost half of the burrito. I think the beans are still in the fridge. LOL I was SOOOO full all day. I didn't eat anything else all day. Oh wait I did have a sugar cookie left over from convention that I saved in my bag. I think I ate some trail mix with A that morning too. I ate the m&m's and peanuts and she had the raisins. I wasn't supposed to start until Wed. Ooopsie... I lost track of days.

Today! Wednesday... I had 3 chocolate covered cinnamon bears for breakfast and I did share with A again. Then we went to Leatherby's for lunch after swimming lessons. I had Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich with cheese fries and of course fry sauce and shared an Isaiah's Almond joy with a side of hot fudge with my husband. YUMMMY!!! I was sooo sick. I had a ton of water. My mom brought me a large Peach Iced Tea from Sonic. It is sooo sweeet I still have half of it sitting here.

I'm supposed to start the HCG again this weekend. Saturday actually. This time I'm planning on 40 days. Maybe even 60 days. I'm going to have to look at the calendar and see where the days take me. I want to eat Tgiving dinner! and yummies at the holidays. Soooo time will tell.

I'm going to Sushi this weekend and hopefully Indian Food and my favorite Morelia's at some point. I'm ready to take the scales down more.

Thanks for the support and cheerleading... it's soooo helpful and rewarding.

Oh and today.... I talked to my BFF in NJ and am going to send her my clothes that I shrink out of because she's shrinking too. She's just a little bit behind me. So, I may as well share the wealth. She's catching up fast. LOL My next size down from what I started with is starting to fall off. Even without losing actual weight I'm losing inches because they are getting bigger and bigger on me.

AMAZING!!

Ending Phase 3

R1P2VLCDEnd = Released 18 lbs total
R1P3MaintEnd = Released 2.2 lbs total from ldw (last dose weight)


I know it's been a long time since I updated. I'm horrible at keeping up on this. I promised I'd post a few weeks ago and didn't.

I started phase 3 doing great. I only had 1 protein (steak) day. I was .2 above my 2 lbs from last dose day. That day was a day I had planned on going to dinner with some friends from high school. I didn't want to miss out on the yummy food. So, I ate 6 boiled eggs that day and went to dinner and had my usual anyway. I was amazed to find out the next day I did lose a bit. So it wasn't so bad I guess.

Today is my last day of phase 3. I have been cheating (deviating) ... I have to admit. I've also been staying within my 2 lbs of my last dose weight. During my Stampin Up convention the meals they provided were not that great or filling. They included a sugar cookie a few days and a chocolate chip cookie a few days. The first day I ate 1/2 the sugar cookie the next day I ate the other 1/2 then the next day they had ice cream so I had an éclair bar and an ice cream sandwich. I didn't gain!! I was very bloated though. I did drink more water than normal days too. So my deviating was only the last few days. I almost had a cheesecake that I got free at Olive Garden after waiting over 2 hours to eat. I gave it to my husband so I didn't eat it because I was SOOOO ready to.

We went to Mimi's Cafe for Dinner Saturday night and I brought my carrot cake muffin home and ate it yesterday and today I'm actually DOWN weight. I can't wait for tomorrow I want to take my kids to Leatherby's this week. They've been asking to go and I keep making them wait.

I'm excited to start losing again!! A few more days and I'm back on VLCD again!!
