Take 2-Day 2 VLCD

Today's weight: 160.1
Goal Weight: 125
Pounds Lost Today: 5.9
Pounds Lost Total: 5.9

So, did you see that!! I lost nearly six pounds on my VERY FIRST DAY of low calorie!! Yay!

But, now for the sad part.

I had one hell of a day! My van broke down, the city came and towed it while I was trying to get a tow truck to come and get it. My backpack was in the van, my HCG drops were in the backpack. :(

So, I didn't have the drops, and I was starving without them. So, I ate food that wasn't on protocol.

I am hoping I don't gain all of the weight that I lost back. That would S-U-C-K!

It seems like everything is against me with this diet, but I am determined to make it work!

I am hoping I can get my drops back tomorrow so that I can get back on the wagon. If I ever make it to phase 3, it will be a miracle!

Take 2-Day 1 VLCD

Today's weight: 166
Goal Weight: 125
Pounds Lost Today: 0
Pounds Lost Total: 0


So, today went okay, I guess. I was very tired midday, and a bit weak. But, after dinner, I felt MUCH better. 


For lunch I had:


Talapia
Cucumber salad
Melba toast


For dinner I had:


Spicy "honey" mustard chicken
Radishes
Melba Toast


Snacks:


Apples (2)


Oh my, the radishes and chicken were DELICIOUS! Yum, yum, yum!! I hate radishes, but someone from YourHCG Facebook Page mentioned that she boiled them in stock and they were good. She was RIGHT! They tasted kind of like spicy potatoes. I will definitely be making them again. 


Oh, the chicken. Again, YUM! I took a bit of mustard, hot sauce, and a few drops of stevia and spread it on top of the chicken before baking it. That was so delicious. 


So, my first day is over. I swear I thought about quitting about fifteen times today. I was hungry, this diet is HARD! But, I keep thinking about myself in a few months from now. I think about how amazing it is going to feel when I am in a smaller size while on my vacation to Bermuda! ;) 


Some things that I messed up with:


I didn't wear gloves when cleaning up smashed chocolate mint cookies off the floor. (Thanks Lilah) 
Also, I wore makeup that isn't protocol safe. :( I forgot. 


Things I did well today:


I didn't cheat. 
I tried new recipes that were amazing! 


How I felt today:


Tired. Weak. Hungry.


(Sorry no pics of the food, I need to buy camera batteries!)

I'm baaaaack!

Okay, so I had to stop taking the drops due to coming down with pneumonia. I felt it was more important to heal properly than it was to continue with the weight loss. Of course, I gained every single pound that I lost back.

But, I am back and ready to kick this fats ass! (Or rather, LOSS my fat ass!)

So, tomorrow is my start day. I was advised to wait until my period was over, and I probably SHOULD heed the advice, but I have such irregular cycles that I just don't know if I will begin my cycle soon or not. I guess I will take my chances and hope for the best.

I won't have to re-load because its been less than two weeks. I do wonder if I will be hungry or if the HCG will work right away. I guess we shall see!

Rewards!

So, I decided I am going to reward my self when I lose weight! :) For every ten pounds that I lose, I am going to do something special for myself. Here is my list of rewards:

10 pounds- Pedicure
20 pounds- 2 pair of adorable shoes
30 pounds- Haircut and dyed
40 pounds- $400 spent on a NEW wardrobe!!

Oh, I can't wait to buy a new wardrobe! New shoes? Well, I am not talking about the usual shoes I buy, but some really super sexy shoes. ;) Hair done? I want to get something dramatic to go with my new dramatic look. Maybe something like this:

But, with some red highlights added in it as well!

Oh, I am so excited for my new transformation!

Day 4 VLCD

Today's weight: 158.2
Goal Weight: 125
Pounds Lost Today: 1.8
Pounds Lost Total: 7.8


So, today started off good. I wasn't feeling hungry anymore. (Still not really) 


And, then.. I started dying. Yup, that's right. I think I am dying. 


Uggghhhh!! 


I am pretty sure my cold has turned into something much worse. Can I cry now?


No? 


Okay, well, hopefully tomorrow is going to be better. Today you get a condensed version of a blog because if I really am dying, I want to spend my last moments cuddling with my children.


Good bye, cruel world! 

:)

Day 3 VLCD

Today's weight: 160
Goal Weight: 125
Pounds Lost Today: 2.2
Pounds Lost Total: 6


Well, six pounds down so far. Not bad! 


Today was HARD, really hard. I was hungry, cranky and tired pretty much all day. I had a killer headache, and wanted to punch every person I saw in the throat! I was really ready to give it all up, I didn't care if I remained fat for the rest of my life if I could just eat a big fat juicy cheeseburger. Buuuuut... I didn't cheat! Whew! 


My husband (who is deployed) sent me a box of chocolate covered strawberries, and I didn't cheat! :)


My children came home with tons of chocolate candies, and I didn't cheat.


I made spaghetti and garlic bread for the kids, and I didn't cheat. 


That's got to count for something, right?


So, for lunch:


Crab meat, Melba toast and lettuce (this was very bland)

 For dinner:


Lemon Mustard Chicken with spinach salad topped with melba and strawberry vinaigrette. This was GOOD! I wanted to lick the plate it was so good. 

Some things that I messed up with:


I didn't wear gloves when handling chocolate. (I hope this doesn't stall me)


Things I did well today:


I didn't cheat! 
I made a delicious new meal!


How I felt today:


Crappy. Tired. Hungry. Irritable. Mild headache all day. 

Day 2 VLCD

Today's weight: 162.2
Goal Weight: 125
Pounds Lost Today: 1.6
Pounds Lost Total: 3.7


Well, day 2 down. Today was hard. I was hungry most of the day. I went to school, and it seemed like delicious food was every where. I walked into the elevator with five people, and they all had food that is currently "forbidden" Ugh, it was so hard! Then I got to class and my teacher was handing out chocolates. I accepted mine and just threw it into my bag. I miss chocolate already and its only day 2!! 


I realized I have a serious addiction to food, which is the main reason I choose this diet. I need to reevaluate my relationship with food. I have to stop eating just to eat. 


I am on that road. 


For breakfast:


Just tea


Snack:


Apple

Lunch:

Shrimp with tomatoes and a Melba toast

Snack: 

Orange

Dinner: 

Talapia with asparagus and melba toast

Both meals were okay, nothing extra special. I enjoyed the soup from yesterday much better. But, when you are hungry, anything taste good! 

Some things that I messed up with:

I took an extra bit of fish that wasn't part of my 100g. Lilah was eating fish along with me, and she left one bite. Just one. *sigh*

I forgot if I had taken my drops, so I could have possibly taken an extra dose. 

Things I did well today:

I didn't cheat!! (And it was HARD not to!!)

How I felt today:


I have a headache, and I felt a little tired by the end of the day. I also felt a bit dizzy at one point in the day. 


I still am super excited and nervous to see the results on the scale tomorrow. 


Oh, and before I go.. a "before" picture!
