Good Morning....too early. Up again at 4:30. I really have to get this sleep thing under control. It's day 10 of my second phase of the HCG Diet. I am almost halfway through my short round.
I started this journey wearing a size 22 jeans. Last week, I donated a large bag of jeans that no longer fit. One of my coworkers handed me down some size 14's, and I'm thinking, yeah right, these aren't going to fit. Well yesterday, I wore them to work.
Yesterday evening I had an epiphany. I realized that my initial goal was to lose 96 lbs and or get into a size 8, whichever came first. I have lost half of the weight, and gone down half of the jeans sizes.
I plan on finishing this round, doing 3 weeks of phase 3, then doing another short round. This will make my last vlcd day on May 27th. I will then do phase 3 for 6 weeks. If I have not reached my goal by then, I will most likely continue to try to lose weight on my own. I don't anticipate using HCG as a quick fix for the rest of my life.
After that, I plan on following the paleo diet lifestyle. I have learned about foods that my body is sensitive to.

Getting Excited!
Today is day 2 of no HCG and the vlcd. I still haven't had any hunger. BUT. I got on the scale this am and was down another .7 lbs. For a total of 37.3 pounds. However, 36.2 is the bookmark for Phase 3. So 219.8 is the weight, no more that 221.8 and no less than 217.8. I think I can do this.
Heading to the doctors this am and then on to buy groceries. Lord gimme some cheese. I am going to up my caloric intake gradually over the 24 days. I will also compensate my exercise with extra protein.
I must make sure that I eat enough calories and protein. I will still track everything I eat.
I have decide that I will do more phases. My doctor said that I can do 2 21 day phases, with 3 weeks in between. timing has to be perfect.
timeline:
R1P3 2-23 THRU 3-16
R2P1 3-17 (load) St Pattys Day in Melbourne
R2P2 3-18 THRU 4-8
R2P2 NO HCG VLCD 4-9 THRU 4-11
R2P3 4-11 THRU 5-2 (My sons Basic Training Graduation)
R3P1 5-3 (load)
R3P2 5-4 THRU 5-25
R3P2 NO HCG VLCD 5-26 THRU 5-28
R3P3 5-29 THRU 6-19
THEN LIFE P4
That's the tentative schedule. I've timed it so that I don't have to be on Phase 2 (VLCD) while I am out of town,
Todays Menu
Lunch: Roast beef and onion fajita salad with salsa
Dinner: Shrimp and cabbage curry
Snack: Apple
