Phase 1 Day 17 W 240.8 L 1.2

Love losing a pound in a day...it seems so easy to gain one in a day why shouldn't losing one be just as simple LOL.  I killed the water yesterday I honestly thought that maybe I would be heavier because of it.  But I am already slacking as of this morning I woke up late way late and have been playing catch up ever sense. 

I have been hard core craving breads wonderful delicious bread...even just the smell of bread I want some right now!  I know even once I am off the diet this will be the hardest battle that I fight.  Not the sweets or eating a lot at one meal its the snacking on breads.  'sigh'

I cant believe that I am almost to the half way point of this round...I am sure that I will need 2 possibly 3 more rounds to drop the weight that I need to.  But I guess we will see how much I lose in the next 23 days. 

On a sad note a Great Uncle died yesterday he lived to be 97!  We are celebrating his life next Sat at his funeral.  I am worried about making it through the day without wanting to eat the food that will be there I always find that when I need comforting that food seems to be the go to.  I am trying to self therapeut (is that even something) but I am not sure I can or will make it through.

Phase 1 Day 16 W 242 L.2

Not a huge loss but a loss is a loss.  Yesterday my son got his tonsils out that was quite an event he did really well until coming out of anesthesia he was so mean!  Today hes acting like a champ.  I am hopeful that the next week goes by smoothly and there are no complications.  Because of his surgery I really didnt eat at my normal times, 2pm and 6pm meal with my 11:30 and 7pm fruit.  I ended up eating for the first time all day at 6 then again at 7 :/

I can't believe I have officially lost 18 pounds!  I am so thrilled the 16 days I have been doing this diet has really gone by quite quickly.  I cant wait to see what the next 24 have in store.  I am hopeful that this round I will lose another 20 better yet I would love to hit the hundreds but I think I will have one more round before thats possible, I guess we will see.

Anyways I think that today I am going to online shop for those new shoes that I have been wanting so badly!!! And I am getting excited to be down to the 230's!

Phase 1 Day 15 W 242.2 L 1.8

Yea!  Back on track and couldn't be more thrilled!  It has me bound and determined to hit this week hard.   I did a successful apple day yesterday and had a hard hard time eating that last apple I truly was not hungry and didn't want to eat it at all.  I drank a ton of water too.  When I stepped on the scale I really did hold my breath tho.

Today my son has to have his tonsils out so I am a bit nervous for him.  Along with that I am not sure what today is going to hold for meals but I am going to take an orange and an apple if push comes to shove I will have them to eat.  Operations don't make me nervous if I am having them (I have had many!) but I am so worked up over the thought of my little guy having one! 

On that note a few days ago I was talking to my 4 and a half year old about people without limbs and with deformities or who are heavy.  We have been watching the Bachelor and the girl lost her arm in the womb and recently we watched this promo for a motivational speaker of a young man who was born without any limbs.  Watching this guy and listening to what he said made me cry it was so moving!  I was watching it with my little guy and he said, 'Mom see what he can do!  He can do all those things and he doesn't have any arms or legs'.  It just made me realize that people have huge obstacles in their lives to overcome each one of ours is unique to us.  I am incharge of my own happieness of my own destination this is my journey and I am going to enjoy it more!  I am so blessed!

SO with that I am thinking about starting a walking routine I need to go renew my membership at the local gym. I want to get an Ipod and start walking I think that this will really help me so I might change up my goals/rewards.

Phase 1 Day 6 W 249.8 - L 1.2

Something to help keep my mind focused! My new favorite motivator!

This is the beginning of a new day.  You have been given this day to use as you wish.  You can waste it or use it for good.  What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.  When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever. In its place is something that you have left behind.  Let it be something good!!!


Today has been a good day I have been home all day which I think is not so good for me it has made me want to eat a bit more which indicates I am eating when I am board and not busy.  I am not hungry I just have to control my mental desire to want to eat.  Also had another dream about food, which is driving me crazy!  I have eaten today:

10:00 Zevia
12:00 orange
12:30 melba
2:00 steak tomatoes and asparagus (i dont know why I felt like I needed the extra 27 cals but I did it)
Dinner TBD but I am thinking mustard chicken and onion soup followed by the strawberry sorbet!

Phase 1 Day 5 W 251 - L 4.8

Today was a great day!  I did notice some fatige while running a lot of errands it was overall a busy day!  I have been true to the diet choices that I have selected at dinner market check it out here.     It has been amazing such a huge difference from the last time I did this diet, I hated cooking the meals I could never get the seasonings to taste right and it left the food wanting to say the least.  This round is so much better I LOVE what I am eating.  I would eat this not on a hcg it is that good. 

Breakfast - Zavia with melba
11:30 - orange
3:00 - steak and onion
7:00 - chicken and tomoatoe with zero cal noodles - These noodles are amazing!!!
8:00 - strawberry lime sorbet

Everything was from the dinner menu place but the orange and I love it!

Phase 1 Day 4 W 255.8 - L 4.2

I had a dream last night that I was indulging in sweets!!! I woke up panicked thinking I am not going to loose why did I cheat this is not hard, I was really upset!  I have no idea what this says about my mental state and relationship with food but so glad it was a dream and not what happened in real life.  I even had to check to make sure that the food I dreamed that I ate was still there.  I got on my scale this morning and registered a loss of 4.2lbs total, about a pound a day so far even with my load days.  My current weight is 255.8 I know its crazy but I can tell I lost a bunch in my waist which feels good.

Phase 1 Day 4 W-255.8

Total lost to date *TLTD* 4.2lbs

Phase 1 Day 3 W 260 - L 0

Today is the first day of my VLC diet - This morning started off with my mental yearning for my bowl of oat meal, sprite and granola bar...skipped those and went for my 32oz water jug nothing for me this early morning. 

Around 10:00 I cracked open my Zevia soad - for those of you who don't know what this is...I was told by my Dr. that I can have one Zevia a day :) Zevia is a naturally flavored soad, Zero cals and Zero sugar, sweetened with Stevia.  Check out Zevia here, I like the lemon-lime and grape the orange is bearable not the best. 

I plan to slowly consume my orange around noon perhaps with a bread stick...that is still to be decided followed by my late lunch around 2pm, lunch today will be 3/4 cup of non fat cottage cheese and tomatoes, diced up and mixed together.

Dinner is what I am really looking forward to as I have purchased some delicious pre made meals from a local HCG diet meal ready company that has high prices but the food is so worth it especially if you are like me and when your hungry you will sacrifice taste to eat but then not want to eat it because it tastes gross...never again, well at least until the pre purchased meals run out.  I bought about $150 worth of meals which comes to 16 meals = 8 days of meals plus some extras that I pick up around 5.  Check out dinner market here, dont the meals look so yummy.  Looking forward to dinner time!!! I also got the cold fruit slush for my late night save me from making a bad choice eat.

Anyways I will get on tomorrow and actually account for what I did do and look forward to the weigh in.  

What I actually ate:
10:00 Zevia & breadstick melba
11:30 Orange
4:00 Chicken and tomoatoes (this was off the dinner menu site and was AMAZING!)
7:00 3/4 cup cottage cheese with greens and apple cider ving dressing
8:00 strawberry lemonaide crush (from dinner menu site also AMAZING)
