R4P2D11 RIP Babe!!

Round 4 Phase 2 Day # 11 VLCD 8
1.0ml (161.2iu) HCG IM injection # 11
Starting Weight on 08.18.07: 197lbs

Today's LOSS/GAIN: +0.8lb
R4 Total Loss to Date: 6.8lbs

So I caved yesterday and gave into some Doritos and that's basically all I ate. My cat awaited the arrival of my daughter so she could say her goodbyes. He finally gave up to the fight at 6:05pm. I ate an apple later in the evening. I had a lot of energy yesterday and cleaned the kitchen while awaiting my cat to succumb to his death.

Unfortunately someone brought donuts today and I have already had two, bad bad girl. I'm taking my last injection tomorrow and taking a break for this weekend. I retested my solution and it is still good, guess the test I didn't use enough on the test on Sunday. I'm going to enjoy the bazaar this weekend and restart wholeheartedly.

R4P2D10 One Less Mouth To Feed??

My 12 year old cat, Babe, awoke me at 3am by jumping on my bed and meowing really loud. I really think that he's at death's door now. He has been unable to drink or eat for about a week now. I tried giving him some water with a needle less syringe but he will turn away when I do that. He's very lethargic and dehydrated. He's like a son to me ya know?

Back to the protocol, I wasn't hungry yesterday morning or afternoon so I skipped lunch. Bad idea, I know but I really wasn't hungry. I grilled some hamburger patties and chicken. I ate a hamburger patty with Monterrey Jack cheese and mustard on a bed of lettuce. Oh, I did have a small apple during my lunch time and nothing else.

I'm back at work and hope that no one brings donuts today!!!

R4P2D9 It's No Good!!

Round 4 Phase 2 Day # 9 VLCD 6
1.0ml (161.2iu) HCG IM injection # 9
Starting Weight on 08.18.07: 197lbs
R3 LIW: 161.4

Yesterday's Wt: 163.2
Today's Wt: 163.6
Today's LOSS/GAIN: +0.4lb
R4 Total Loss to Date: 6.6lbs

So I was feeling a bit hungrier than usual last night and I decided to test my solution this morning because of that. Turns out my solution is finally losing its potency and explains why my losses are so low and slow. There was a faint mark but it is fading fast. I planned on using it until Labor Day weekend because there is a bazaar at a local monastery and the food is awesome!! I'm going to continue with this solution until I feel exhausted and haggard. I will mix a new batch on Monday and continue on for another 30 days. It sounds like a long time but I really need to get down in weight because the holidays are right around the corner and our Vegas trip is inching closer as well. April will be here before we know it. If I should feel lethargic and weak I will add in a bit of cheese and increase my calories to 800 rather than 500 until Monday. I'm planning on doing a load day on Sunday and part of the reason I'm attending this bazaar. My daughter reminded me that this was exact same thing I went through last year. August 18th was my 1 year anniversary on starting the protocol. I did extremely well on my first round but the following rounds were challenging. Now I've come up on a year and realize that I should and could have done a lot better. Oh well, I shall take this as a learning experience and remember that our Vegas trip is coming up and I want to look, feel great and definitely be a lot less heavier. I would like to try the buffets. Okay, enough ranting, I feel my mind is feeling clearer now and I love that about this protocol.

After a 2 day plateau, I dropped again. I had cabbage soup for lunch yesterday but forgot my protein portion. I went to the store during my lunch and bought some gala apples. These babies were tiny and most of them were bruised or bitten, yuck!! I bought some meat at another store and went back to work. I put the meat in the freezer at work and prayed that I wouldn't forget it when I got off work.

I got up late today and went to Kmart to buy a zucchini and mint plant. I bought a lemon thyme plant as well. I stopped by Albertson's to get some Powerade for my daughter and they have Powerade Zero, I bought some to try it and see if it will affect me while I'm protocol.

I took my daughter to Savers so she could look around and she found some shirts she wanted and I found more books for me. I paid for her items and I made her buy us some lunch. I told her I had a coupon for a free salad from Jack In The Box. I got the Acapulco salad and she chose the Club salad.

That's it for now, I have to catch up on my soap so I'll be busy watching that for the next five hours. Later!!

I played hooky from work today because I was just so tired this morning. It's now 8:30am and I'm still feeling a bit groggy. I royally sucked at bowling yesterday, I didn't even make my average on any game. Nothing else happened yesterday.

Yes, so for breakfast I had a chocolate glazed donut, lunch was an Acapulco grilled chicken salad and dinner was just 3 boiled eggs and lots of water all day. I really haven't been feeling hungry but getting over the snacking all day is really hard. I really have to make an effort to remind myself that I am back on protocol and I can't just open a can of nuts or chips to munch on.

Hey B, I know you've been busy with school and work, so I really appreciate you taking the time to visit, Love ya!!

Yes, I know its 4 lbs but I was hoping for a bit more. I sure am greedy aren't I? I had a Krispy Kreme donut in the morning and three hard boiled eggs for dinner as well as a cup of unsweetened strawberry applesauce with a touch of cinnamon. Bowling went well yesterday, we won all three games and the total. We played a good team but we were able to beat them.

Since I'll be doing a long round (40 days) I decided to do an extra load day and also to get rid of some more food before temptation sets in because it is in the house. Even though I loaded yesterday with more tacos, Texas toast with butter and jelly and banana bread, I lost a pound. Go figure.

I'm going to try a fast today but I already had a Krispy Kreme donut, doh!!!

Okay so today is my first VLCD day unless I decide to do an extra load day. I bought a loaf of bread the other day and I didn't get to it this weekend. I was pulling weeds most of the day yesterday. I had made a coffee cake and only ate 2 pieces. Later for dinner I made tacos of beef and potato, and some mexican rice. I ate at least a dozen and I didn't even feel full, sad.

I really don't want to be here at work can you tell?

Yesterday's Wt: 166.4 lbs
Today's Wt: 167.2 lbs

Okay so today is my first injection day and my batch is still strong. I have been loading like crazy so far. For breakfast I had a box of raspberry toaster strudel. I've had 4 bean tostadas with cheese and homemade salsa, macadamia nuts, goldfish crackers and other stuff I can't recall at this moment. I'm still loading and plan on having some Texas toast with butter and jelly. I have a couple of pastries I have sunk my teeth into yet but maybe tonight as well.

I've been shopping the last couple of days for my daughter and myself since its tax free weekend. I found some nice career shirts, vests and ankle boots. I also stopped by our new Savers store and found some books and a vest, a lace vest and black shirt for my daughter.

Well, I'm really starting to feel all this junk food kicking in and I know I'm not going to sleep all that great. I want to make a coffee cake tomorrow morning but we'll see.

Minor Update

Well, I'm still debating on when to start. I would have to start tomorrow so I would be able to finish by the end of the month before the holiday. We usually don't do much for Labor Day but when we can smell everyone else grillin', we want to grill too!!!

I played hooky from work today, the pain in my hip(s) is getting unbearable. I was researching this mysterious pain and it may be the onset of arthritis. I thought losing the weight would help but after losing 30 pounds, it is still here. I cleaned my yard though, the weeds had taken over but I cleaned it all up and my yard looks decent (compared to neighbors).

I think our summer bowling league is almost over, next week maybe and I haven't been asked to join a fall/winter league yet. I'm sad. I'm really enjoying it and my daughter is not. Too bad!!!

That's all I really have to update on. I must also mention that I have been eating whatever I want when I want and am just bouncing up and down from 161 to 167. TOM visited my daughter and myself last week (the same day) and has left. This week would be a good week to restart but I'm not in the right mindset yet. I was really hoping to finish this whole protocol by now but my head and heart is just not in it. The guys at work don't help either. I know its really me and not them. I need to work on my willpower, it is so weak right now. Anyone have any suggestions?

TOM must be lingering and I wanted to restart today. I'll just wait for TOM because if I don't it won't help matters. I'm going to try a steak day today but I really need to start limiting my carbs. I was doing good but now it's all catching up to me now. I didn't do anything yesterday except veg out in front of the tv. Not good. I haven't even trekked out today to buy the newspaper. I just totally feel like crap and that's why I know TOM is lurking.

I'm looking into purchasing Mitch Gaylord's 3 day melt. It looks like a good workout and for $30.00, you get about 4 different workouts plus a 2lb medicine ball. I already have a 6 lb ball but the workouts look simple enough. I have been pondering this since I first saw the infomercial a few months back. My yard needs a lot of work after all the rain so that may be my workout for today.

A coworker and I went out to breakfast yesterday because she and I were the only civilians working. We went to this restaurant and they had a breakfast special of pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs for $3.75. So that made it easy to decide. I almost ate everything but I saw my coworker had barely touched her food and I felt like a pig. Turns out she was trying to save some of her appetite for lunch because they were going to Logan's to celebrate another coworker's promotion. I didn't want to go (too expensive!!). I came home after work and took a nap. I had text my crush about the party and he told me he would go. I woke up from my nap and made some meat sauce and penne pasta for my daughter to eat before she went to babysit. She kept questioning me why I wasn't eating and I told her I would eat in a little while. I didn't want to eat the pasta, I wanted to make zucchini ribbons for my meat sauce. It was good!!! I started to get ready and had a hard time finding something to wear. I had a Bud Light to relax before I left. I got to the bar and the place was packed!! There was no where to park. I finally found a spot and went inside. I found my coworkers pretty quickly even though it was crowded. Turns out there was a 30 year reunion, a biker queen's birthday party and my coworkers party going on all at the same time. We decided on sitting outside and the night got cooler. I had a vodka Collins and that was it. I never saw my crush, oh well. We left around 12:30 and I got home before my daughter.

After my night out, I got up late and went to the store. I was shocked to see that I had gained a pound so it must have been from the drinks. Who knows. TOM may be around the corner as well.

Hey Monica, thanks for stopping by, I've missed you girl!! I'm glad to see you and Nakia are doing just great!! It was sweet of you to say you've been thinking of me, it has been very lonely here in Bloggersville.

Okay so I overdid it with the corn chips. That's what I have been craving especially with tuna!! I made tuna salad for dinner. That would have been fine and I put it on cucumber rounds but I had to have my corn chips. My daughter liked it on the cucumber but she didn't eat enough and was expecting me to make something else for dinner, ha!!!! She's babysitting tonight and that means that I will have the house to myself tonight, whoo hoo!!! I'm invited to a party but I'm still on the fence about it. I need to ask my crush if he will be going and that will make my decision much easier, right?
