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. But I'm enjoying this round so much more because of my lack of strictness; I feel like a normal member of my family rather than a freak in the corner with my plate of dry chicken and lettuce. I'll try to do a little better. :o)

Breakfast: 100

Uninspiring loss. Guess I'll have to quit experimenting. :-) Body fat down and muscle up again, though, so that's a good sign.

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.

Breakfast: 65

2 T. fat free Greek yogurt (30) - subbed for milk allowance; off protocol

Dried apples (60)

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!

Breakfast: 110
1/2 scoop Jay Robb strawberry protein powder (60)
140 g. frozen strawberries (50)
blended with ice, water and a bit of a sugar-free powdered drink mix

Did about 30 minutes of relaxation yoga last night before bed. Feels good to stretch.

Breakfast: 100
Coffee w/1.5 T 1% milk (15)
1 boiled egg (75)
2 strawberries (10)

Lunch: 220
1 chicken breast, El Pollo Loco (180)
Broccoli (15)
Melbas from pub mix (25)

Snack: 200
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.

Rogue HCGer that I am this round, I'm adding broccoli to my list. We'll see how it goes. 

Breakfast: 90
1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese (80)
1 T. cocoa powder (10)
splash of vanilla
stevia to taste

Whir in blender; makes a creamy tangy pudding, reminiscent of chocolate cheesecake. Yum. Might be wonderful frozen. Must try.

3 bites broccoli (15)
