Round 4 Phase 2 Day 20 - 118.7 (-0.5)

Nice!

Last night's barbeque was fun, with a little drama thrown in. A neighborhood cat had gotten hurt, and we'd found it on the side of the road. At first we thought it had been hit by a car, but when we took it to the vet (in my arms, and I held the poor guy all through the exam and treatment) it turned out he'd gotten the worst of a fight. Anyway, kudos to the vet who came out on a Saturday night, and kudos to our friends at the barbeque who were all part of making sure the cat wasn't

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 19 - 119.2 (-2.1)

Woooooooo Hooooooooo!!

I couldn't wait until tonight to share that release!

What a relief, I was somewhat scared that I'd be stuck for a week trying to get that gain off, I've read such horror stories about what a deviation from protocol can do. And now I'm in the teens again! Haven't been here since February, it's a relief to be getting back down here again.

Today we have a barbeque with some friends we met while going to dog training, I'll eat first, no way am I trying to maneuver my

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 16 - 120.5 (-1.1)

A very nice release!

It was a busy day, had a couple of exhaustion moments, which tells me I'm mighty close to TOM. My caloric intake for the day was 469, I'd bought some long English cucumbers, and their flavor was to die for!

Anyway, I want to keep this brief, going to bed early. Hope you all had a great

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 15 - 121.6 (+0.2)

Um. Not sure what happened there. I think it might have been that half glass of Diet Dr. Pepper last night. Just in case, I won't have any for the rest of P2.

I liked my reaction to that gain this morning. Calmness. Serenity. I spent a little time thinking as to what it might have been, and then I moved on. Think there's some growth happening there folks!

Calorically, I came in at 424 for the day. It was a good, work filled day, I have to try to get to bed earlier tonight, that' s the

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 14 - 121.4 (-1.0)

Nice! Hope this keeps up for a while!

It was a busy day work wise, food wise I came in at 448 calories. Just had the usual, beef/tomato/apple for lunch, and chicken/cuke/strawberries for dinner. I am usually a routine eater anyway, especially when I'm maintaining a steady weight, with 4 or 5 regular choices for lunch and dinner and breakfast usually being the same every day with maybe one or two fluctuations, but still, I find it surprising how little I crave any variety at all while on

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 12 - 122.4 (-0.1)

Happy Mother's day everyone!

Another rest day! My first batch of HCG didn't last quite as long as usual, as I had a few days were I took 0.55 rather 0.5 cc doses, I had increased hunger and for me at least, a slightly increased dose to build up the HCG is quite effective with this. As a rule though, people start too high and need to reduce their dose. My dose is the standard 166 IU, except for those few days when I went slightly higher.

Today we took the other half's mom to a local diner,

Round 4 Phase 2 Day 12 - 122.5 (-0.9)

Nice! I'm in waving distance of the teens now!

Today was fun, we went to our local Farmers Market with the other half's mom, I bought some asparagus and some tomato and cucumber plants that I'll plant tomorrow. It was cute, the other half drove home and got our dogs to surprise me, so that was fun. There are always people with their dogs at this market, and I guess he could tell I was missing our boys.

Right next to the market is a very large Goodwill, so we went there first, I scooped a
