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 3, Phase 2, Round 1

Woke up this morning after a restless nights sleep. I haven't been sleeping well even with my Rx prescription. I'm hoping that will end tonight. I don't do well without sleep...I't makes me cranky :)

I did fairly well on the diet:

Breakfast:
sm apple
Water

Morning Snack:
Lg Apple
Bread stick

Lunch:
Grilled chicken that I pounded out slightly so it would cook evenly on a Forman Grille. I then shredded the chicken and added spices to the bowl. I enjoyed the chicken...it had good flavor. It would taste really good with an apple.

Dinner:
Grilled Shredded Chicken, a bread stick and 1c steamed broccoli. I know broccoli is not on the protocol but I have a lot of food allergies so I am going to try it and see if it affects my results...if it does Ill have to stop and just stick to spinach...that's gonna be fun, fun LOL

If any of you have your own blog let me know so I can follow your journey as well. I love to see how others are doing.

Good luck everyone, I've be back tomorrow with another update.

1st Blog - For the Record

Hi, My name is April and this is my first blog.

Okay, that did sound a bit like the introductions at an AA Meeting...I guess in a way I'm hoping this will be a form of therapy for myself.

I spend a lot of time in my head and it makes me wonder how well does anyone really know me. How well do I even know myself? What makes me unique? What are my goals? What are my passions? What mark will I leave on this world when I'm gone...hopefully more then just this blog LOL. These are the things I hope to discover during this journey into my mind.

So, just sit back and enjoy the ride...but wear a seat belt because it might get a little bumpy.

Note: All names in my blog have been changed to protect the innocent...and guilty :)
