199.2
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)
Operation HCG
My experience with the radical and controversial HCG diet. Can a late-30s, busy mom with a full-time job take the weight off? Can I keep it off? I guess we'll find out. In Round 1, I lost 24 pounds, and kept them off until the 10 days before Round 2 started (too many "last meals"). Now I'm into Round 2; so far, so good.

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.
Breakfast: 20
Coffee w/almond milk (20)
Lunch: 210
TV dinner (210) - chicken, spinach, cauliflower
Snack: 90
0.6 oz. Reese's peanut butter w/chocolate egg (90)

1 egg (75)
1 egg white (15)
1 lite toast (45)
1 bite English muffin w/butter (30)

198.0 (-1.6)
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.
Shoot! Just realized I forgot my HCG this morning. DUH!
