Whoo hoo!! I finally awoke to see that magical number on the scale!! I'm in a new decade and I hope to stay there and continue going downward.  I drew out the last of my solution yesterday which yielded me 4 injections.  The last 2 syringes I filled had a bit more solution that the first two because I wanted to get every drop out.  So as of this morning I only have 3 more injections to go and I can take a planned interruption for 2 weeks?? then start on sublingual.  This will be my first time ever to use HCG sublingually so we'll see how that goes.  If I got the correct math for the sublingual, I should be able to stay on another 30 days after my PI.  I really am anxious to stay on the HCG till I get as close to my "real" goal.  My body has adjusted to the VLCD and once I start to eat normally, it proves to be difficult to go back to VLCD.  The scale number may not look that great but I do. It has become more noticeable and people I know, have noticed.  Last night I did something a bit different.  I filled my usual water glass (32 oz I believe) and added some Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother, granted it wasn't all that pleasant to drink, but I did.  It was pretty diluted but you could tell it was in there.  I drank it before I went to bed.  I just did it to get some benefits from the vinegar but I don't know if it helped or not.  My goal last night was to go to bed early, very early but I finally got in bed at 9pm.  I did all my chores early too.  That was earlier than the last 3 nights but I awoke at 3am.  I managed to fall back asleep for another hour.  I can feel TOM trying to make an entrance today but so far, it hasn't shown itself.

I need to keep a better food diary but I've just been to busy to write anything down.  Since I was so tired yesterday, I ended up not cooking my chicken.  I washed the pan I was going to use but that was about it.  On my way out the door, I grabbed a packet of sweet n spice tuna.  I know tuna isn't allowed but that was the only thing I could grab so I could avoid going through a fast food restaurant.  I haven't been hungry and I probably could have just skipped lunch till I got home but I've eaten tuna before without any problems.  I didn't have a fruit with my tuna because the tuna had sugar in it, so I skipped the fruit.  It was actually pretty tasty for being flavored tuna.  Now I have a new idea to make tuna salad with a kick.  I saw it contained sugar, chili powder and paprika so that doesn't look difficult at all.  Of course, I won't be using sugar but my stevia.  I have plenty of the liquid and packets. Hmmm, I may try that combo of spices on a piece of my chicken.

I went to Wal*Mart after work today, I found some coconut milk without sugar.  I've been looking for chocolate pudding made by Great Value but I didn't find it at the Supercenter when I was there yesterday.  Luckily this store had it.  I want to bake cakes and sell them.  I just don't know how much to sell them for, LOL.  Of course, I had found some new coupons online so I had to put them to good use, LOL.  I also price matched some chicken thighs I can eat next week.  I bought some more water that I price matched too.  I found some dog biscuits at this store that I couldn't find at the Supercenter as well.  I may have to go back and buy what's left of them because I noticed they made the new package smaller (4 lbs vs. 5lbs) for the same price.  Like I wouldn't notice.  My dog likes the beef basted ones so I got her some.  I found the peanut butter biscuits but they're making that package smaller too.

I'm gonna go cook my chicken now but I want steak for dinner.  What a conundrum.

R3P2D13V10 Deja Vu Monday

Round 3 Phase 2 Day 13 VLCD 10

R3 Total Loss to Date: -10.4lbs

I must admit now that last night I did indulge  in draft Michelob Ultra, man it went down smooth.  I thought for sure I'd have a gain because yesterday I could not stop binging on my "crackers".  Before I left for the bowling alley, I did have my 100gm of tilapia fish.  Unfortunately, it didn't help when I got there because other teams were already enjoying chips and salsa.  A member of our team was enjoying a personal pepperoni pizza right in front of me then what he didn't finish he gave to his friend, who was sitting right beside me!!  Man I was so dying, I really wanted to cheat and get some chips and salsa to go and just pig out when I got home.  I don't know what happened to me but I just walked out of there with nothing.  I believe I told myself if I really wanted to cheat, wait till tomorrow and you can drive back to the bowling alley and just get them to go.  Guess that worked because this morning I felt guilty for even thinking about cheating and seeing that small drop just gave me more confidence to keep going.  Today I don't feel much like cheating.  I then wanted to kick myself because I realized that I had nothing to eat for lunch.  I hadn't cooked any chicken or boiled any eggs.  I then remembered that I had some Atkins low carb vanilla shakes so I grabbed one of those and an apple for work.  Now that I'm home, I'm defrosting some chicken and fish.  Luckily Romaine lettuce was on sale the other day so I bought 2 huge heads.  I'm munching on a Romaine heart right now to curb me from eating the whole box of "crackers".  I still have some beautiful beefsteak tomatoes that I bought at Costco.  I ate one the other day with some lemon pepper, Yummo!! I'll have to eat some more tomatoes before they start to rot.  So you can guess what's for dinner.  Fish and tomatoes.

Well, looking at today's weight and Monday's, I don't think I had a real gain just the fact that I had to weigh in at 3:45 yesterday morning may have been a contributing factor.  Today's "false" loss is attributed to the beer.  So I wait till tomorrow.  Cheers everyone, I'm toasting with some green tea!!

Wow! After making my cup o'green tea, I used Now Stevia Extract liquid.  I didn't know it was in an 11% alcohol solution so wow!!  Of course, I used too much and pow, it just hit my taste buds.  It is extremely sweet and even watered down my tea.  Lesson learned.
