R3 P2 Day 1 - 123.6

Wow, that's a pretty dramatic loss on a loading day on the HCG diet. It has me a little worried, but I'm attributing it to dehydration. I'm drinking lots of water today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. So far, I've not had anything, not even coffee. Coffee on a tender tummy is unappealing, so I am refraining.

Lunch will be my standard 96/4 hamburger patty with a tomato and if I can manage it, an apple. We'll see.

Dinner will be my standard 100g of chicken breast with cucumber and

Catchup Days 52-55

Wow I can't believe it's been a week since I last blogged!

Most of the other half's paternal side of the family converged on beautiful Fripp Island, SC, where two oceanfront homes were rented for a week. We had a wonderful time, I did my best with my eating, and I RAN EVERY DAY! Sorry for the yelling, but I'm really excited that I did that! It was impossible not to though, with that beach calling my name! I am a child of the water, for sure. And the last day of running, I was followed up and

Days 48 - 51 catchup

Day 48 - 124.3 - a nice recovery, amazing what a day of low salt, clean choices make.

Day 49 - 124.7 - too much salt on this day, combined with TOM, I'm feeling bloated. It didn't help that the other half made a comment about something I was eating "is that good for weight loss, I notice you've been eating a lot of it". Now, I realize that he was trying to help but it triggered the heck out of me and I found myself eating out of rebellion, which I know was stupid. Sigh. As it happens, it was

LM Day 47 - 124.5

Well, that's not bad at all, I'm so glad the sausage fudge and the stuffing in the pork chop didn't affect me too much.

Today was much the same as yesterday (minus the fudge lol), dinner was a salad with roast chicken from the supermarket (hoping the salt content doesn't hit me tomorrow).

Tomorrow will be a steak day (last chance before we go away for Thanksgiving), and my goal for the thanksgiving week is to maintain. I am bringing some Atkins bars and some Larabars with me, and first

LM Day 46 - 124.3

Another decrease, gotta love it.

Today went well, again, not terribly hungry, just ate my three meals and two snacks. The pine nuts and 5-HTP and choosing filling foods process is still working its magic. Now, dinner was stuffed pork chops bought from our local Amish market, so I'm hoping there is nothing I'll react to in it. Also, I caved and bought a small piece of dark chocolate fudge. It's TOM, I've been craving chocolate in a big way, and it satisfied the craving. The other snack was an

LM Day 45 - 124.7

Well, that seemed to be effective! Even with one drink and TOM, I lost 0.3. I'll repeat the experiment today and we'll see how it goes on the scale tomorrow.

I felt so at peace, so unpressured yesterday.

Anyway, just wanted to report that, I'll be back later with more. Have a good one!

Update: Today has been amazing, food-wise. I really believe that the 5-HTP and pine nuts are making a difference, along with choosing filling foods as snacks. I had scrambled eggs (3) with a slice of
