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.

HCG Diet: Day 2, Phase 2, Round 1

Well I made it though my first loading day on the HCG Diet. I weighed in this morning and was .6oz heavier...not exactly the direction you want to go when you are dieting, but I'm not surprised of the gain since you are required to load up on fatty foods the first two days.

I took the first dose of HCG around 7:00am yesterday and my second dose at 11:45pm and after an hour of the second dose I was exhausted. I laid down on the couch and slept until 3pm. Now for me that is very odd. I have very bad insomnia and have for the past 15yrs. I rarely can nap for that long, or even sleep that long without medication.

Once I woke up from my nap I felt a lot better and continued the required snacking though out the day...until my 3rd dose, which I took around 6pm. After about an hour of the third dose, the HCG hit my appetite hard and I suddenly couldn't eat anymore. Even the thought of eating made my stomach turn. So, for the rest of the night I only had water and just prayed I had eaten enough during the day.

I just finished my day 2 breakfast and will take my first dose of HCG for the day in about 15 minutes. I will post later today to document how my day went. Wish me luck :)
