Still no scale movement, but my body fat was its lowest ever, and my muscle was its highest ever this morning. So maybe the whoosh fairy will visit soon? Aside from actually taking the HCG, I'm not really *doing* the HCG diet this round. I'm so off protocol it's ridiculous.

Ug. I'm just going to try to hang on until my planned interruption. Then for the final 3 weeks, I plan to buckle down tight. I hope I can. Not feeling very confident. Why was it so easy to stick to protocol during round 1, and not during round 2?

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.

Whoosh! Also got into a pair of size 14 pants today. RAH! I should've been here a week ago, but thanks to my non-stop cheating, I'm behind. But I'll accept a gift from the Whoosh-Fairy anytime.

Had lots of activity today, so I hope it offsets my high calorie count. Yeesh. Took the kids to the beach, then to the pool, so lots of walking and swimming and keeping warm. I tried to round up when estimating calories, so I hope it's actually lower count that I guessed.

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. Plus, when DH is gone to play music at the church and I'm alone with the kids, it's harder to do the injection. So it's a win-win.

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.

Meh. I want some 1+ drops! ONEderland is calling my name... I know, I know, I'm the one doing rogue, off-protocol stuff and going over calories every day, so I only have myself to blame.

No loss today, but my body fat percentage went down and muscle went up, so that's a step in the right direction. Cabbage sometimes bloats me, so I'll see what happens on the scale tomorrow. I also overdid the calories yesterday, so I shouldn't be surprised.

I was going to do the seventh-day HCG skip yesterday, but forgot, so I'm skipping today. I think I already explained that I'm skipping once a week to drag out the round as long as possible. I'll be skipping the first three TOM days, too.

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. And I'm glad this round doesn't span over holidays; regular daily temptations are big enough without once-a-year holiday food sitting around!

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.
