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)

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.

Geez. 198 must be a set point for my body, because I'm struggling to break the barrier. Then again, I had about 1,200 calories yesterday, so I shouldn't expect a loss.

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!

Not too bad of a gain, considering what/how much I ate these past two weeks. I ate anything and everything I wanted. Quite out of control. I'm over it and ready to be back on the wagon.

I've been eating terrible since the start of my planned interruption. I don't think I actually gained 3 pounds (feel bloated and retaining water from all the junk food). Even so, it was a slap into reality to get on the scale.

1 tsp. mayo (30)
1 slice American cheese (70)

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.

1 truffle (50)

Daily total: 1,260 - A record high calorie count for this round. Lovely. High sodium foods today, too, so I'll probably gain three pounds of water in the morning. I took some CLA today; wonder if that will help anything? These are the days when I wish Alli was in stock somewhere!

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.
