HCG Diet: Day 7, Phase 2, Round 1

Can you say discouraged?

I've been the exact same weight for the past 3 mornings. I told myself last night if I was the same weight this morning then I would do an Apple Day.

Well guess what...

Apple days SUCK!!!! but I powered through and did it. I ate 4 apples all day and my plan now is to go to bed early and be done with apple day.

Keep your fingers crossed that the scale moves in the morning.

HCG Diet, Day 5, Phase 2, Round 1

First off...Is there anything more annoying then a wet sock?

My dogs go to their water bowl, get a drink and then proceed to dribble water all over the floor by their bowl. I'm constantly mopping the floor around their bowl because stepping in a water gives me the creeps. Well, at 4am this morning I stepped in a puddle of water with my sock covered foot...uuggghhh! Not a pleasent way to start the day.

Anyway, Moving on to the topic at hand...

Day 5 on the HCG diet and this morning I have lost another 1.2 pounds!! whoot, whoot...do the diet dance!

I felt really good all day yesterday. The only complaint I have is that... (boys, don't read this part!)... My boobs have been VERY sore. I've had a hysterectomy, so I don't have a "cycle" anymore (greatest thing on earth), so I can only assume that the HCG is making them so sore. If anyone can explain why this may be happening, I'd love to hear your opinion. At this point, all I can hope is that this is a temporary thing.

I've been sticking to the diet like glue and haven't cheated. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I have been taking a handful of vitamins and minerals every morning, so maybe that is also helping. I will make out a list of what I am taking daily and post it for anyone that is interested.

I didn't get to do a video yesterday but I should be able to get one done tonight. I'm going to try and see if I can get my whole body in the view...temporarily...so that I can document what I look like at my current weight. I didn't do measurements because I was to horrified of the results. I tend to shy away from things that will humiliate me :) I'd rater just live in denial.

Also, Don't forget to check out my video blog.

HCG Diet, Day 4, Phase 2, Round 1

Good News!!!

I woke up this morning and I had lost 1.0 pound. I was pretty excited, especially since I had made the mistake of getting on the scale last night and was shocked at how much I had gained over the course of the day. I was pretty discouraged when I went to bed and was not looking forward to the scale this morning, but as it turns out I had lost all the weight I had gained during the day, plus an additional pound. I had no idea how much your weight could fluctuate during the day.

So, lesson learned...DO NOT GET ON THE SCALE AT BEDTIME LOL. Let me tell you, it was horrifying.

Moving on...

I slept better last night but still woke up several times. I'm hoping that will stop soon because it is getting on my nerves. I need my sleep.

I felt good this morning, had good energy. I actually woke up a little early and was able to eat breakfast and get ready for work without rushing around. That was nice since I'm usually running late every morning.

For breakfast I had tea and half a grapefruit. I did put a little Splenda on it to help sweeten it up a bit. It was not bad at all. I haven't eaten grapefruit since I was little, so I was a little apprehensive, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

After breakfast I took my HCG and so far I don't feel hungry at all. I'll post later on how the rest of my day went.
