Yesterday was DH's birthday, so I ate too much. Whoops. Some is water, so will drop tomorrow. Time to mix up my last vial of HCG; it's 5,000 IU, so after it's gone, I'm done. Not sure if I'll do another round in the future or if I'll just try to stick to a regular low-cal diet with a day or two of intermittent fasting thrown in to bring a bigger deficit. Looks like I probably won't be attending my 20th class reunion on the beach in July like I was planning, so the need to get into the tiniest possible self on a short deadline is lessened. Not that I want to stop losing; just don't have the same time crunch as before. But I still might go, so I have to keep that in mind...
Breakfast:
Coffee w/almond milk (20)
1 egg (75)
1 lite toast (45)

Well, I got down to 197.6 a few days ago, then attended and photographed funeral services for a friend every day over the weekend, so I ate weird, forgot my HCG injections and generally screwed the diet. So, here I go again. I'm retaining fluid now, so some of this will probably drop tomorrow.
I've started eating low carb frozen meals for lunches at work, even though they're off protocol, because they're easy and cheap. I can eat a Lean Cuisine for 170-200 cals and call it good. It helps.

Good; didn't take TOO long to get back to my lowest pre-PI weight. I'm taking some liberties with foods, but going to try to stick closer to the 500 cals this half of the round. Some of the frozen meals are low carb and low cal (200-250) and I think they'll help break up the monotony of protocol.

I'm thinking that since this may be the last round of HCG for quite a while, I'm going to go even longer than I planned. I think after my planned interruption next week, when I start up again April 10ish, I'm going to do at least three more weeks. Since I've done skip days all along, and I'll be doing a PI, immunity shouldn't be an issue.

Thank goodness that wasn't a total disaster. Not yet, at least. We'll see if there's a delayed reaction on the scale tomorrow. I'm moving my HCG weekly skip days to Saturday; easier for me to remember when it's connected with Sabbath anyway.

Not too bad, considering I went nuts with the non-dairy creamer yesterday. I may also have had an extra grissini, so my calories were probably closer to 750. It's a bit of a fog because I had a nasty headache and wanted nothing more than to EAT. I stayed in relative control considering how bad the craving was!
Even with the relatively small numbers, I'm staying heartened, because the body fat percentage is still going down, and the muscle percentage is going up. I dropped another year on my scale's estimated health age (now I'm 53 ... ha!). So, there are positive changes happening.

Sure would be nice to maintain a 1+ loss every day, but I know this will slow down eventually. Maybe if I can keep up my activity level (relatively sedentary by actual exercise standards, but playing with the kids and doing a bit of yoga each day), I might see bigger losses than round one.

1/2 egg salad sandwich - oops, went crazy with crusts left after kids! (200)
Dinner: 290
1 burger, from VLCD2 (220)
262 g. tomato (50)
2 tater tots (20)
This burger was so good. I cut the burger in half to make two thin patties. Then I cut the large, firm heirloom tomato into four half-inch thick slices. I spread sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard and pickle relish on each piece of my tomato "bun", and put the burgers inside to make two complete sandwiches. They were so good, and so huge. In fact, I couldn't finish it and threw away (gasp!) about half of one.

Sometimes I have an extra serving of protein for breakfast. I try to keep the day's calories at 500, but on breakfast days, they sometimes creep over a bit. I feel extra hungry/snacky today, so I did breakfast to keep the beast at bay.

Well, here we go. I overate junk for the past week, knowing this was coming, so I'm 4 over R1 LIW. OOPS. I need to eat P3 long term to maintain, it seems.
I lucked out this round, because India has banned sale and/or production of Rx HCG. Fortunately, I ordered enough for this round in my last order, so I'm set. Phew! I hope that by the time I am ready for round 3, it's available again.
I wrote down stats from the scale this morning. Will post them later. Need to do measurements and photos, too.
Breakfast:
Few bites of low fat waffles
Coffee w/milk and HWC

I got my supplies for Round 2. I plan to start loading Sunday and VLCD a week from today. Yeeps. Range of emotions ... excitement, dread, etc.

Meh. Too bad that little loss from the sick day didn't stick. I ate a few things yesterday that I probably shouldn't have (Kraft Mac n Cheese Monday night, buttered toast, chips and salsa, and last night's broccoli quinoa cheese casserole). The casserole was yum, but I used full fat cheese and mayo, and it was too oily. I guess quinoa doesn't absorb grease like rice does. Next time, I'll follow the recipe and use the low fat versions.
Realized today that I'm supposed to start round 2 in a couple of weeks. I have the HCG, but need some supplies (mixing vials and mixing syringes). Better get on that soon. I think I'm going to do an extended round. I won't have time to do a third round before my Florida trip in early July (want to be P4 by then), so I'm going to drag my 40 injects out by doing a weekly skip day and not injecting for the first three days of each TOM. That should give me an extra two weeks on the VLCD, maximizing the losses for the round. I hope I can be strong that long. It gets tiresome eating the same things for weeks on end, much less two months. We'll see.
Breakfast:
2 eggs
1/4 cup turkey sausage crumbles
1 slice American cheese

Yesterday I was 211.4, but I knew it was water-retention from salt, so I didn't do the Steak Day.
Today is day one of phase 4. Not sure what I'll do different. I think I'll add whole grain bread first. I've been sneaking some beans throughout phase 3, so they probably won't react badly, either. I'll have to be careful with the bread; it's a slippery slope for me.

Well, now I have two posts from yesterday. Glitch with Blogger, I guess. Anyway, I guess the Steak Day worked. I'm not a huge steak fan, so that wasn't really any fun for me. But at least the mission was accomplished. Can't decide if I want to take the time to make chocolate donuts for breakfast, or if I should just have eggs or a shake and get on with it...
Sorry I haven't been including my menu info. Seems that when I don't HAVE to, I fail to make time to. I'm sure I'll wish I had.

Yesterday I was back down at 210.4, so I suspect this is yesterday's salt intake and/or approaching TOM. However, to be safe, I'm doing a "Steak Day." I already botched it a bit, because I stopped at the roadside stand for strawberries, and couldn't resist eating a few. Oh, well. At least it wasn't a cupcake. Hehee...
Now I have a bag of beautiful fresh okra and white corn for tomorrow's supper. Guess we'll have that with the leftover turkey ham and tomatoes from last week.
Now I'm looking at my restaurant.com certificates and Groupons to see if I have anything for steak dinners. Can't afford to do these often!

Technically I should have done a steak day today. But three things kept me from that plan. One, TOM is due any time, which contributes to a fluctuation.

No surprise on the overnight gain. I ate a ton of salt and fat yesterday, and don't drink enough water. The people on this diet really seem to embrace eating lots of fat in this phase, a la Atkins. I've done that to some degree, not because I think it's a good idea, but because I like it. Anyway, my scale measures total fat AND visceral fat (the kind around organs that's really bad). During the Very Low Calorie phase of the diet, my total visceral fat dropped by one percent. This morning, it registers back up that one. I don't doubt that my 9 days of indulging in extraordinary amounts of dietary fat have pushed it back up. So that scares me. I am looking forward to adding healthy starches back into my diet so I can fill up on something other than meat and fat.
Breakfast:
Cappuccino (60)
1 large banana (135)

My day's total would have been at least 800 calories higher.

I guess avoiding carbs really does work. Goodness knows I've had enough fat in the past couple days that if that were the only culprit for weigh gain, I would have. So, either carbs, or mixing carbs with fat, is the issue. I'm going with the mixing of carbs and fat, though I won't know that for sure until P4 when I add the starchy carbs back in. Haven't had much access to fruit around here, so I haven't been getting any carbs that way.
Breakfast:
Omelette with onion, tomato, cheddar, salsa
Turkey sausage
Sliced tomato
Lunch:
Fried tofu
Mixed veggies (broccoli, snow peas, bok choy)
Dinner:
Pollo Loco (chicken with onions, bell peps, tomatoes and a white cheese sauce)
Snack:
Half a dozen pieces of sugar-free Whitman's candy (ooo, not good on the tummy last night!)

I think I'll switch to noting how far I am from LIW instead of how much I'm up or down from the previous day.
Was able to weigh today. Don't think I'm retaining much water, but we'll see tomorrow. I was so tired last night that I slept in and missed breakfast. (Just as well since the patty melt I ate just before bed was HUGE and left me feeling stuffed and fat.) I could go eat now, but they're serving an exhibitor luncheon at noon (read: FREE), so I might as well just wait. It's probably a bunch of carbs again, which will lead me back to the restaurant, but if I can avoid paying another $25 for a meal, I will. Save it for supper, which they don't provide.
Breakfast (40):
1 micro apple (40)
1 c. green tea w/stevia (0)
Lunch:
Caesar salad with tofu, cheese, tomato, and caramelized onion
Supper:
Chicken trio at Carrabba's Italian Grill

I have been having trouble staying under 500 calories, so I shouldn't be surprised of a non-loss. Now that my food scale is back, I can start measuring again. I think I'll be doing cottage cz for lunch, because I'm going to work and it's easy.
We heard Saturday that our friends, who are missionary doctors in Africa, lost one of their 6-month-old twins to complications of malaria that day. For some reason, this tragedy has impacted me dramatically. I cannot think about anything else and have been weeping on and off for three days. What I really want to do is EAT comfort foods. I'm not sure how to "get over it" and move on — especially given that is wasn't MY child. I wonder if the HCG is making me more emotional?

Heard some terribly sad news yesterday and spent the day weeping about it and not drinking water, so today I'm puffy and dehydrated. Ugh. But at least I had a loss.
Breakfast (20):
Coffee with cocoa, milk and stevia (20)
Lunch (370):
1 KFC grilled chicken breast, skin off, shared with DS (200)
1/2 KFC biscuit (100)
1/2 tomato (15)
1 small apple (55)
Dinner (220):
100 g. chicken meatballs (120)
190 g. spinach, sauteed (50)
Bites of this and that (50)
Daily total: 610
