Round Two

On the first round of Hcg, I lost 25 pounds. I have been on maintenance for 7 weeks and maintained that weight loss. I stayed exactly within the 2 pound range fluctuation.

So, I have started round two now. Spent the past two days doing my "load up" days.... UGH. Wasn't as much fun this time. I've had 7 weeks where I have been eating healthy for the most part. Indulged once in awhile... but did not GORGE like I had to the past two days. UGH again! I ate myself into a stupor.... and I feel so bloated and full. But it's what needs to be done. However, I think I will never again want to eat bacon, sausage, donuts, chips, icecream, donuts, more donuts, and MORE donuts.

So, I have my fish, cucumber, breadstick and apple for lunch and my big old mug of water and my drawer of herbal teas all handy. Here we go again! I am only doing the 20 day diet this time. I want to lose 20 to 25 pounds. I think I can do it on the short course. Last time was just a bit too long and about day 35 I was building up immunity to the Hcg.

This batch is brand new and pretty potent because on my gorge days I had NO APPETITE which made it even harder to force feed.

Anyhow.... Kauai is 51 days away. I need to lose the 25 pounds, and get a nice tan between now and then. Find a new swimsuit to wear.

And go have fun with my sweetheart. It will have been 3 months since we have been together (when I get there May 27). We talk every single day, but it's not the same as being together. Gosh I miss him!!! And he misses me. And it's hard to be so far apart. But the job is good and he's socking away all his dough, so it's a sacrifice that will be worth it.

SUCCESS!

11 pounds gone! I fit into some jeans this morning that I could not wear 3 weeks ago. And they just slid on up with no problem. WOW! What a cool feeling!

I spent a few minutes this morning weighing out my chicken, beef and fish for the week and putting them in individual bags in the freezer so I only have to thaw one at a time.

I have to go get a new pair of tennis shoes. I have to wear an 8 now instead of an 8 1/2. Seriously, my shoes are TOO BIG.

I don't think I have EVER lost weight in my feet before. LOL

I feel really good. Except yesterday I had some serious intestinal issues, but I think that was because I ate raw sushi Friday night. I hope that's all it was. I rely on stevia to make this diet enjoyable and if that is what is causing my problem.... I'm not going to be too happy about that. Especially since I just ordered a bunch of the flavored drops to use in my food.

My kids are coming over today for dinner. I am making them shepherd's pie. I will be having a crusted chicken breast with sliced tomato and apple. mm mmm.

I look forward to each day because the scale keeps going D-O-W-N. It's soo cool!
