I'm going in the wrong direction and I didn't cheat yesterday. I think its true what they say, deviations take a day or two to catch up with you. Also I think this batch has fizzled. I mixed a new batch yesterday and took the last of the old batch this morning. My birthday is right around the corner and I don't know if I should just stop until that weekend is over so I don't waste the new batch or what!!!

Weekends Are Tough!

I'm going to lie, I did cheat a bit yesterday and maybe didn't make a good selection for my veggie. I ate 3 demitasse spoonfuls of chunky peanut butter and 2 small handfuls of popcorn. My daughter had eaten 2 bags of popcorn throughout the day and last night I couldn't take it anymore so I caved. Then for dinner I chose green beans for my veggie, I did fine before with them but I guess the combination of my cheat didn't help.

Oh CB, I wish I had read your comment last night rather than this morning. I don't have hunger issues either just temptations. I agree whole heartedly with you about food being an addiction!! I'm mixing a new batch today because I only have 2 injections left in this batch and I won't have time tomorrow to mix it. These last 2 injections are more like 1.25ml because the last little bit was only about a 0.5ml so I divided into the last two injections. It's weak anyway so maybe it will help a bit.

Spoke Too Soon

Ahhhh, I spoke too soon. But I must confess I did cheat yesterday with a Mexican pastry. I had been working so hard moving stuff around at the station that I started to feel hungry and tired. I thought just one cheat on Saturday and behave the rest of the week. Yes, I'm trying to justify my cheat. I don't think there was a gain because I was so tired last night that I fell asleep finally at around 11pm and I didn't wake until 8am this morning. It was very good deep sleep I might add. I was so dead asleep that I didn't even hear my daughter when she got home from babysitting. I did awake at 3am to check the house to make sure she was here and she was. I went to bed so late because I was trying to complete my tax return on line and there was a glitch in the system and it kept giving me an error. I finally got so fed up with it that I erased all my data and will start over again today.

The next two days are going to be difficult because I am off from work and my daughter is home both days. She always seems to be hungry 24/7.

Yes CB, it seems that we are the only ones left blogging, they all seem to be on the forum, but we are doing just great!!!

I'd say I'm doing pretty good for only being on VLCD day 5. Last night I went bowling and I had 2 mini (7oz) Bud Lights. I started to feel really tipsy so I stopped after those two. My teammate got upset because I wasn't drinking like I usually do but that's his problem. Let's see what tomorrow holds since it is my day off and I can sleep in and weigh myself later in the morning.

I work on Saturdays now and there is a coworker that brings all kinds of Mexican pastries and donuts. There is one particular pastry that is my weakness but I'm not even going to look in the box!! I'm only on day 5 and it is not time to start cheating, I will not open that door!!!!

Down, Down!!

This batch is almost gone and a fresh batch will be made very soon. Hope that will increase my losses, I can dream right?

I got into an argument with my daughter last night so I went to bed at 7pm. I feel very refreshed this morning at least for now.

Keep Goin' Down Numbers!!

Okay, I guess my expectations are bit high, I was hoping for a larger number but I'll take it. I think since my HCG is a bit old, its not as potent as a fresh batch but waste not!! I only have a few injections left with this bottle then I can mix a fresh batch. Also, since I have to weigh in at 4 am, my numbers are skewed.

I haven't been hungry and I don't eat till I get home after 1pm. So far so good, but next week will probably be another story. My bitchiness has returned and everyone is annoying me here at work. My energy is also very good because I didn't need a nap yesterday and I slept very well. I awoke at 2:30am and was ready to go. Unfortunately, I awoke to the smell of poop! I got up to investigate, so I went to my bathroom and turned the light on. Luckily for me I didn't take an extra step because one of my cats was gracious enough to leave a nice heaping pile right at the entrance to the bathroom. I had reached around to the switch therefore I was able to avoid stepping in it, if I had taken that extra step, my foot would have been a shitty mess!! I suspect one cat but I can't be too sure, he's the only one that enjoys leaving me these nasty surprises. I guess I've bitched enough for today, wait for updates tomorrow.

Hey CB, yes we are sistas!!!

Looky there, 4 pounds gone already. I really hate my 4am weigh ins, I just think if I could weigh myself later in the morning, I would have better numbers but I'll take it!!

I went bowling yesterday after a 3 week hiatus and did pretty good. Everyone on my team was drinking mixed drinks and me with my water, lots of water. A friend of my teammate showed up and she ordered the supreme nachos and placed them in front of me. I wanted to smack her!! I resisted and everyone gobbled them up. I wasn't hungry but I'm trying to break my old habits that I have fallen into again. If there's food in front of me, I will eat it and now I have to work at reminding myself that I can not do that!!

Hey CB, looks like we're both losing the same, I'm just a day behind you, ha ha!!

Today is finally my official first VLCD day. So far I haven't experienced any hunger and my coworker has been out, so I haven't had any offers for food. Tonight may be difficult because I have bowling and there is always some delicious smelling food around not to mention BEER!!! I can have one mini Michelob Ultra at least.

Hope everyone is doing great!!

I was on Facebook yesterday and found out my 20th high school reunion was last month!! I hope they have another one later this year. They did post pictures and everyone looks different, if you know what I mean. I'm happy though because I was able to connect with some friends that I haven't spoken to since high school.

3rd Load Day, Finally Decided

I finally decided to do a 3rd load day. There is too much food in the fridge and I don't want it to go to waste (cash in the trash is not my motto). So tomorrow is my official 1st VLCD day!!

Sorry guys but I'm going for the long haul and I feel that a 3rd load day will help me in the long run. This is going to be my longest Phase 2 ever!! Wish me luck!!!

I'll have to edit my original post to remove my VLCD day, he, he!!

Saturday I tested a batch of HCG that I had in the fridge and it is still good!! I had it wrapped in foil (amber bottle), stored in a thermos toward the back of the fridge where it gets very cold but not frozen, and the magic potion is still good!! There probably about 10 injections left so I'll use it up before mixing a new batch. Maybe my new batch will be sublingual so I can stay on as long as possible before taking a break. What do you think? I'm really starting to hate the injections but I know they're more effective but I might just try the sublingual. I haven't tried subcutaneous, just intramuscular. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Its good to see everyone starting off the new year on HCG. It seems many of us fell off the wagon but now we are all getting back on!!! I need to do this people, my life depends on it. It depends on it physically, emotionally and financially!! It sounds strange but I need to step up my game employment wise because of the economy. I'm not able to get back to school yet because of finances not to mention the holidays just came and left and I am even more broke that before the holidays. (Income tax refund here I come!!) Oh yea, I forgot we are going to Las Vegas here very soon, April I believe, and I need to look for that as well!!

Well, I wasn't able to finish everything in the fridge so I'm debating on doing a 3rd day of loading. I plan on going in for the long haul since there are really no celebratory holidays, food wise I mean. I don't have much time to think about this because it is already 10am!!!

Hey CB!! I have to use my blog because I am just soooo busy, I'm not able to hang out on the forum for much time. Keep me posted if you do update your blog!!

Everyone take care and WE CAN do this!!!

My monthly bill has finally arrived (2 days ago) and I can begin the downward trend again. I was too afraid to step on the scale this morning so until tomorrow and I can see the damage I have done. I have been doing the loading this week so this weekend will be fun. I've already begun with the KK donuts and I have a whole loaf of banana bread that I made earlier this week. My daughter isn't too happy about me starting again but she understands that I need to do this. Not to mention all the clothes that I have bought recently are fitting a bit tight.

My daughter and I have been at each others throats, so I have had to pull the mommy card out many a time lately. I like being her friend but she is just getting outta hand now.

Thanks to all who have checked in on me, it really means a lot to me!!!

Back For A New Year!!

I'm still on the wire of starting today or tomorrow or just wait for my monthly to show up, which should be later this week.

I can't believe I let myself get to where I am now but it just made me realize how easily it is to fall back into bad routines and habits. It takes a real effort to stay on track and I only have myself to blame for what I've done. I really need to buckle down this year because I only have until September to get in shape and try out for the police department. This is my goal for this year!!! I've been saying I want to join for the last 6 years but I really need to do it soon.

Wish me luck guys on both of my endeavors: getting healthier and fit and getting on the department as an officer!!

Hope everyone is having a great year and succeeding in meeting their resolutions and/or goals!!
