Round 4 Phase 2 Day 5 - 127.6 (-1.0)

Another good release!

I find I'm impatient to get through this part of it, I want to be back in the teens...yesterday lol.

Just riding that feeling of impatience out, and noticing just how much of a food addict that I am. We went bowling today, in fact the other half bought us both balls - I've only ever bowled with a house ball and what a difference! And being the girlie girl that I am... it's so pretty lol. We bowled three games, I learned a lot, and now we'll just have to see tomorrow

Round 4 Phase 2, Day 3 - 128.6 (-1.3)

And another nice release!

Today I came in at 414 calories, having hamburger, tomato and half a red grapefruit for lunch, and chicken, asparagus and strawberries for dinner. Man I love asparagus!

This cold is still kicking my butt, it's got a major hold of my sinuses, I'm hoping it passes soon, I'm determined to stick to my guns though. The other half, bless him keeps wanting me to take syrupy cold meds or halls, and I'm just not willing to wreck my progress. I'll be more miserable gaining

Round 4, P2, Day 3 - 129.9 (-1.8)

Nice again! I love phase 2!!! I'm happy to be back in the twenties!

I was thinking today of the old Weight Watchers slogan "Before. Before you know it." Well, with HCG it really is like that!

One thing I'm seeing clearly is how much of late I've been using food as entertainment. I'm not hungry, or particularly cravey, but when I have a moment of spare time, I'm noticing that my first thought is of eating something. So, a focus will be to find other things to entertain myself with, other

Round 4, Phase 2, Day 2 - 131.7 (-2.1)

Nice release!

Well, it was a late night, my Canucks won in overtime, so bedtime was around 1am. And I was up at 8 this morning, not enough sleep really for protocol, but that's not a nightly occurrence anyway. Generally I want/need more sleep during the HCG diet.

The cold has struck, but I'm not feeling that bad, and will rest whenever I can. I am focusing on getting my 12 waters in a day, and I am sure that this is helping. I put an icepack on my head last night and found it helped

Round 4, Phase 2 (VLCD) Day 1 (+1.1, 133.8)

Not a bad gain for loading! I attribute it to having gained a couple of pounds due to over indulgence the last few days before this round AND to the fact that I focused on high protein, high fat choices for my loading foods, instead of starches and sugars.

Today went well, I felt good after the first couple of hours (I still had loading bloat and misery for the first couple of hours this morning, and I hadn't slept well last night for the same reason). After that though, I felt good, had a

Round 4, Phase 1, Day 1 - Loading - 132.7

Well, here it is, my one and only loading day. Having only one loading day worked well last time as it was just after Thanksgiving, which due to a family reunion had been a week-long indulgence (although I ran every day and ate as well as I could, there was definitely more fat in my diet than usual during that week, especially on Thanksgiving Day). Since it worked well last time, and I like the idea of only one day of stuffed to the gills misery, I decided to do it again this time. Plus the

Fears, hurt feelings and Round 4 (a vent)

Tomorrow is round 4. Thank goodness, it’s such a relief to finally have it here! Today’s weight was scary, 132.2. But this lack of control, this time of constant sugar cravings is almost done.

Today at Denny’s for our post Easter service brunch, I said to the other half that I’d been indulging in the carbs I’d been eating (including the pancakes I ordered with my brunch) as a way of saying goodbye to them. I said something about this next round of HCG and that I was then staying
