I'm not sure if it's mental but these 72 hours need to be over quickly like now!!  At 7am I felt that I was starving but that may be that I didn't drink my full 32 ounces of water upon rising and only having one cup of coffee. (I'm enjoying another cup right now).  I left work early today because there was plenty of help and I needed to go shopping!!! I only worked half of the day (5am to 9am), I only went to work to pick up my coupons that a coworker saved for me.  I also wanted to go to the store close to work because they overcharged me on some canned tomatoes.  I remember seeing the sign posted on them that they were 99 cents.  Yesterday, while cleaning out my purse I looked at the receipt and noticed they charged me $1.69 a can, hell no!!!!  So I took them back and used that money to buy some detergent they had on sale (it works awesome on whites) and some more radishes.  They sell them fresh by the bunch so Mr. Rabbit gets the green tops. They were still out of the water.  So then I drove to another Sam's location to find some Blender bottles because my Sam's was out of them or sold out and didn't restock them who knows, but this one had them in stock.  I noticed the prices at this Sam's were a bit lower than my Sam's, hmmmm.  I know that that Sam's caters to the Mexican clientele that comes from Mexico, not just Hispanics.  I bought a huge tub of lard, yum, lemons, Laughing Cow cheese wedges and wouldn't you believe, they had the Birthday Cake Golden Oreos with fudge!!  Oh my, that just sounds heavenly.  The baking soda was less expensive there than at Costco or the other Sam's.  From there, I drove to the closest Albertson's to stock up on last day ad sales.  Wasn't much but I got a few things.  They had the garbanzo beans, dry, in one pound bags on sale for $1.00.  Now I'm stocked with canned and dry garbanzo beans, can we say Hummus overdose!!  So from there I drove to Wal*Mart and bought 4 cases of the water that the other store was out of, price matched it and used my coupon.  I bought more eggs, so I will have to prep those.  I finally made my way home and it was already 12:30.  I need to figure out what I'm going to do about these ants.  This morning I tried the hall light and it wouldn't turn on.  It was 4am and I was not about to start unscrewing the faceplate.  After putting away my groceries and scarfing down my lunch, I got to work.  Sure enough, I unscrewed the first screw and there they were.  WTF!  Someone at work advised me that when they laid down the foundation to these homes, they failed to seal the plumbing after laying the foundation, to save money of course, so now every summer I suffer with ants in the main bathroom.  They sometimes find their way into my bathroom but flee soon after.  I went back into the kitchen to sort some items and defrost some chicken breasts, since I still have 48 hours to go on P2.  I thought that one of my bottles of red wine vinegar was leaking but they're in glass, so I was a bit confused.  I started to move them and I discovered that a sweet potato had been rotting and was leaking all over the place.  It made a huge mess.  Ugh, a woman's work is never done.  It did affect one other sweet potato but I was able just to cut that end off.  Mr. Rabbit gets another treat, he loves them!!

I have to confess, yet again, I got on the scale when I arrived home, out of curiosity, and the scale said 158.2.  Ha, that number will never stick.  Are my 48 hours up yet?

Oh, I managed to do some online shopping while I was at work and on Amazon, I was able to find whole flaxseeds and whole Chia seeds, oh happy day.  Since I'm a Amazon Prime member, I get them by Thursday, free two day shipping, awesome!!! Just in time for Phase 3.

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.
