I seem to be doing okay low carbing it but I'm sneaking in some carbs here and there but not everything I eat is carbs. I did really good at lunch. I had my cabbage soup and chicken breast then someone brought some mini pretzels and shortbread cookies. I had a few handfuls of pretzels and a couple of cookies. When I got home I had bought a rotisserie chicken. I took a nap first, then I ate some chicken before I went bowling. My daughter had eaten some chicken as well but then she got sick. After arriving at the bowling alley, she tells me she's hungry and I have no cash on me. I had to ask a teammate (and co-worker) to buy her something to eat. He was cool and ordered her some chicken tacos. She allowed me to have 1/2 a taco.

Nothing else special happened. Yes, I'm still crushing but not as intensely.

Ha, I forgot to post yesterday, oh well. I've been eating freely even thought I hadn't finished my 72 hours until this morning. I'm not doing so bad but with all the food around all the time, I think I'm just gonna try low carbing it for a while. Since Cleochatra has so many wonderful ideas and recipes, I may try and see what happens. I may have to change the title of blog as well, he he!!

Yesterday at bowling my daughter and split a cheeseburger and fries. At least I did not consume the whole thing myself.

I am still very nervous to find out about boy toy's feelings and I still have to wait until tomorrow!!! I really hate being home on the weekends with my daughter because she is always hungry and is always eating which tempts me to do the same exact thing. She prefers it when I'm in P3 because I can eat more variety and she likes that. I really indulged yesterday, I had potato chips (yes my weakness) and 2 Hershey bars and one was smothered in peanut butter. Not to worry, I paid for it this morning, my stomach was so upset that I didn't go to work. (Bad, bad girl!) I just really didn't feel like dealing with people today. I'm also experiencing some pain in my hip joint. It used to be even worse when I was heavier and that's what I had contributed it to but now it's coming back again. It's so bad that when I try to get out of bed, I have to sit at the edge of the bed and try to stand up very slowly. I can barely walk to the bathroom and if I have to sit down, I have to endure more pain. Then it just simply goes away. I used to only feel it when I laid in bed for more that 6-7 hours and last night I was only in bed for 5 or less. I did invest in one of those memory foam pillows designed to nestle between your knees to align your spine. It helps some but if I forget to sleep with it, forget it. It's also awkward sleeping with it because you can't just simply turn over, you remember its there and you have to hold onto it as you turn over.

Well, I'm off to ponder my feelings and decide to go to Wal*Mart again. I forgot a few things but I wrote them down this time and hopefully I don't forget them.

I'm still fretting over my crush and sneaking in some sugar free chocolates. They did a number on my stomach ewww!! I'll have to wait until Tuesday to see him and try to confront him sometime this week just to set my mind at ease and figure out what I'm doing and why I'm crushing so bad on him. P2 does this to me, thanks HCG!!

I went to the store this morning and bought some cabbage, cukes and cauliflower as well as some chicken. There are P2 friendly foods around me now so I should have no excuse. Since its still cloudy and a high percent chance of rain, I planted the rest of my lantanas in the backyard and a cactus my mother game some time ago. It was a good distraction for about an hour. I'm going to make some chicken cabbage soup for dinner and hopefully have some left over for lunch tomorrow.

R4P2D8 Confused & Emotional

Round 4 Phase 2 Day # 8
1.0ml (161.2iu) HCG IM injection # 8
Starting Weight on 08.18.07: 197lbs
R3 LIW: 161.4
Starting R4 Wt: 169.0
Yesterday's Wt: 160.4
Today's Wt: 160.4
Today's LOSS/GAIN: +/-0.0lb
R4 Total Loss to Date: 8.6lbs

I've already deviated again. I'm really emotional right now. I'm falling again for another boy toy at work and I don't know what to do. Every time I talk to him I'm unsure how he feels. I just don't want what happened with other boy toy to happen again. Also, every time he's around me, he seems to want to ask me something but he shuts down and walks away. He gave me cell phone number and I text him last week. I told him yesterday to let me know if it bothered him if I text him or called him on his cell, just to let me know. He asked why I would say such a thing and I just told him I didn't want him to get in trouble at home. I snuck a peak at his paycheck and his tax status is married. This is causing me to emotionally eat because I don't know what to do with my feelings for him. I know he's married but whether its happily or not, I don't know. He really caught my attention one day cuz I was all grumpy and not wanting to talk to anyone and he made it a point to say hi to me and throw my name in. I just thought it was so weird for him to do that. Then I had to go to court for a ticket I received and he just happened to have court the same day so I hitched a ride with him. It was a good 25 to the courthouse and 25 miles back to the station, so we had plenty of time to talk. He was really sweet but I told myself that that's just the type of guy he is. I finally noticed this week that he has green eyes!! Anyway, so that's why I'm all emotional and confused and deviating. I want to lose weight so he may be more attracted to me but I need to get a hold of my feelings because I shouldn't be doing this for him but for myself. My emotions have got the best of me right now and I just don't know what to do.

It has been raining nonstop since about 2am last night thanks to Dolly!!! Thanks Dolly for compounding the problem of this dreary day and my crazy emotional roller coaster. I love the rain but with my emotions all over the map, it isn't good today.

I don't know what got into me yesterday but I deviated again. Then it dawned on me that today was jean day at work.

When I arrived home from work I attacked a canister of Fritos. I only meant to eat a few and before I knew it, I had eaten the entire contents of the canister. Well, I skipped dinner because i was so full from the Fritos. I went to bed early because I didn't take a nap.

Apparently I'm a creature of habit because I have already began deviating. Not in a major way but still deviating. I was having lunch and I could not resist the addition of the Fritos. For me, tuna and Fritos go hand in hand. I have eaten that way for soooo long that I can't eat tuna without it.

After work, I got home and took a nap. I awoke and started cooking some chicken. I made additional chicken for my lunch today but my daughter decided to eat it so I'm having tuna again today, unless I can convince someone to buy me a salad. I'm broke till tomorrow, payday.

Bowling started out great yesterday and then I just started to fizzle toward the end, shame on me.

Yesterday's Menu:
B: coffee w/milk & Splenda, black coffee
L: 6oz. albacore tuna, red pepper flakes and Fritos
D: chicken breast and 1 jalapeno

Oh, the losses on the first week are so addicting that you want them to continue throughout the protocol at that same rate. Then the frustration kicks in when you stall for a day or two. I'm doing good so far but I was feeling a bit hungry at the bowling alley so I just drank more water. We won two games so that was good. No epiphanies yet.

Yesterday's Menu:
B: 1/2 cake donut, coffee w/half & half, Splenda, black coffee
L: chicken and green beans
D: chicken and 1 cup Healthy Harvest Peach applesauce with cinnamon and stevia

Yes, I'm back!! I started my injections on Saturday and loading. Surprisingly, yesterday I did not feel hungry and I had to force down my hot dog and smoked sausage as well as some chile con queso with Doritos. Sounds like a broken record right? So today is my first VLCD and I'm already deviating but I can count it as a 3rd day of loading right? Excuses, excuses, I know. I've been enjoying my bowling but I can tell I'm retaining lots of water and my fingers are either just swollen or getting fat because I can't get them in the ball but that will all change this week, right? My daughter started school on Thursday so I've been dealing with that as well. I haven't had any epiphanies yet but we all know that's coming soon. I cut my own hair yesterday and colored it so it feels like a new beginning all the way around. I gave myself the injection in my thigh yesterday and it didn't hurt but I hit a vein and my thigh swole up. I thought it would go away but by the afternoon you could see the huge lump it left. I put some ice on it and that helped tremendously. I don't have a bandage to wrap it with and that would help to add pressure but I don't have one.

Listen to me just rambling on, I shall update some more tomorrow!!
