Since I missed my dose of HCG last night, I took a slightly higher one this morning, 0.7cc instead of the usual 0.5cc. Either way it shouldn't matter since the HCG takes 72 hours to leave your system (hence that 72 hour period of VLCD eating at the end of phase 2 that we have to do). Figured it couldn't hurt though to go slightly higher this morning.
So, at the end of week 1, I have lost 3.9 pounds (8.0 including the crazy loss during loading), and my average daily loss right now is 0.7

R3 P2 Day 7 - 119.1 (-0.5)
I almost posted this last night (or rather this morning at 1:30am) then decided I needed sleep more. So, here's a recap -
Yay for the release, today I decorated the house for Christmas, minus the hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. Instead I had irish cream coffee (black), and of course, lots of Christmas tunes playing. It was fun! Times like this are great reminders that the special times in our lives don't have to be about food!
It was a bit emotional for me though, I'd been feeling

R3 P2 Day 6 - 119.6 (-0.7)
Yay the teens!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy to be back under 120!
A quieter day today, although we did go to Petsmart to get food for the zoo, and discovered that they do pet pics with Santa. So, we'll be there next Saturday for sure with the dogs! Yep, we're going to be "those" people, lol. They're our kids, so they need pics.
I noticed a familiar head rush sensation when I get up too quickly happening again, for me, that's an occupational hazard of being on the HCG diet, but as long as I

R3 P2 Day 5 - 120.3 (-1.0)
Yay! Not much longer till I hit the teens again! It's amazing how much better, how much friendlier these numbers feel on the way down isn't it? I also love that I'm feeling "bonier" again. My collar bones are standing out more, when I'm laying down I can feel my rib cage and hip bones more again. Life is good!
I've been averaging between 422-438 calories daily other than days 1 and 2, and my water intake is leveling off at 10 glasses a day. I'd been trying to drink 12 a day, but I noticed

R3 P2 Day 4 - 121.3 (-0.8)
Nice release, I figured it would be a larger release than yesterday.
I'm starting to take my potassium today, as the waking leg cramps are returning. They are bearable, and since I've noticed that they tend to coincide with a larger release, I'm not complaining too much. However, potassium is good for energy, and cramps, and I don't want to get to feeling dragged out either.
Not a lot to say so far this morning, I'll check in later with an update on the day. Have a happy Friday! Off to

R3 P2 - Day 1 - 122.1 (-1.1)
Nice!
I noticed a touch of hunger and tummy growls last night, but today I had trouble remembering to have and/or finish my "breakfast" of black coffee. No hunger whatsoever. Love it! HCG is a wonderful thing!
I came in at 438 calories today, drank 10 glasses of water (seems to be my average at this early point in the round), and had a cup of herbal tea in the evening, hot drinks are a lifesaver on the HCG protocol - they fill you up and counteract the boredom factor nicely.

R3 P2 Day 2 - 123.2 (-0.4)
Well, that's a small release for day 2, but I think it's because I drank so much water yesterday after not having had any (literally, all I had was sips of ginger ale) for the previous two days while I was sick. So, it all evens out in the end, I'm sure tomorrow will be better.
It's nice to be excited to step on the scale in the morning. It's nice to not be hungry. It's nice to be in control again, and looking forward to being back in my size zero jeans (I'm currently in my 4's right now,
