2nd Loading Day

Good morning. It's early. After leaving work early last night with an upset stomach, I was asleep early last night. I felt rotten. Amazing how totally awful my body felt after eating yesterday.  A Wendy's hamburger didn't use to be a problem for me. ugh! And I really did eat that tempura until it was at the top of my esophagus. I couldn't even imagine eating that entire meal.

My fingers look like vienna sausages from all the salt and chemicals and my stomach feels like there is a giant rock inside it. Not good. Hoping my coffee with make it pass (no pun intended).

We'll see what the scale says this morning. I'm not even going to get on the scale. I'll do it tomorrow morning.

I hve more yard cuttings to schlep to the front of the house this morning. I'm hoping some of the salt and water retention will take a hike when I do it.

Me and my BFF are heading to the Black Point Marina Ocean Grill for a late lunch- early dinner around 3pm. I have been wanting some conch fritters. We'll be getting apps and some frozen fruity drinks and sit by the water. We both definitely need a chill day.

But to be honest.....I can't wait for tomorrow. I don't like eating like this or in this quantity anymore.

well, my BFF backed out on me for today. I'm kinda pissed. I should have made plan B. But I didn't
I worked for about 4 hours in the yard.
I went to the grocery store and got a couple of things for P2, but bought some coconut shrim and crab cakes. I'll  have those for lunch. I bought some sausage (a weakness) to make sausage and eggs for dinner. And a pint of Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia for dessert.

I've already eaten some egg salad and a protein shake. I know. Not a huge load, but more than I can physically tolerate right now.

I'm going to go lay in the sun with a homemade marguerita and my coconut shrimp!

Round 2 Here We Go

I've decided to start loading today. I'm going to do a 2 day load and see what happens with my losses. The first round, my doctor only had me load 1 day, but every where I look  I see 2 to 3. So I'm going to do the 2. Light load today and heavy load tomorrow. Sunday I will start VLCD. Hoping to hit 20lbs by the end of Rouond 2 Phase 2.

I need to do more work in the yard, but it has rained all night. It will be a mess with everything wet. But it needs to get done.

i was going to go get my haircut, but I think I will wait until the week before I go see my son graduate. I'm also waiting until the last minute to buy some new clothes.

It is early. My weight is up 1 lb (However, I have been working out very hard) Hoping that the extra weight is muscle and will assist in calorie burning for this round. My plan is to do Light weights 3 days a week and walking the other 4. We'll see how it pans out.

Haven't decided what to load on today. I'll be back later to fill you in.

Okay so for breakfast, I had 2 slices of cauliflower pizza loaded with extra turkey pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.
For lunch I had a baconator hamburger from Wendy's (minus the bun) large fried (the dogs ate half of those) and a root beer float.
Snack: gouda cheese and 1/2 avocado with olive oil and lemon juice.
Dinner: I was working and ordered from my favorite Japanese Restaurant, I had seafood and vegetable tempura. Shrimp, crab, scallop, fish and broccoli, sweet potatoe and asparagus. I almost ate all of it. Had a little help from a coworker. The meal came with rice and a salad, which I gave to my chief. I couldn't even fit it in.

I can even imagine the amount of calories that I consumed yesterday.

I got so nauseous about an hour later, and sleepy as hell. I ended up leaving work. Nasty.

Loading was definitely not as fun this time as it was the first time.

We'll see what the scale says in the morning.

HCG Diet Phase 3 Day 22

Good Morning folks. It's Thursday, day 22 of Phase 3 on my hcg journey. I'm getting very excited to start Round 2. I have decided that I am going to do a 1 1/2 day load. I will start tomorrow evening with dinner. My doctor only recommends a 1 day load. But I had a very hard time on my first load eating enough. So I will start it a little early. (experimental). I have read in most forums and facebook pages, that people are doing 2-3 day loads. The theory is, the better you load, the better you lose. So I will modify slightly and see what my results will be.

I have been able to maintain my weight during P3 (albeit well below LDW) but still consistant.
Today I am 4.2 below, However...I am feeling like I have some water retention and the water % on the scale reflects that too.

It's going to be hard work in the yard this morning. I have alot of cutting down to do. So no "formal" exercise today, but I'm sure I bill burn up some cals.

Menu for the day
Breakfast: 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites and cheddar
Snack: protein shake
Lunch: Chicken, avocado, apple salad, walnut salad on lettuce
Sanck:
Dinner Salmon and summer squash
Snack:
