One Week In..

October 16, 2011 – 10:42 pm

So, just did measurements.  I am VERY happy!  I lost a total of 6.25 inches this week! About an inch from each arm, .5 from each thigh, 1.75 from the waist, and 1.5 from my hips!  I was a little sad this morning, because I had a gain of 1lb, but I wasn’t too concerned about it.  I wasn’t able to get in nearly all of the water that I should, because we were traveling.  I’ve barely gotten sleep, because Izzy has been teething in a major, MAJOR way, so she’s been up and down all night.  My veggie servings yesterday had been cooked with pork, which probably added some unnecessary fat.  Also, and in TMI territory, I had been dealing with a little constipation.  Which a bottle of magnesium citrate cleared right up. (I don’t recommend it…I wont go into details, but trust me…don’t drink he whole bottle)

Looking forward to tomorrows weigh-in!  Although today marks a week in, this time last week was my first load day, so Tuesday’s weigh-in will mark my first full week on the VLCD!

I am very happy with my results so far, and confident that I can successfully continue the plan.  I haven’t been experiencing hunger, low energy, or any general “grossness”.  I have had a few tense moments, not from hunger, but from things that I just WANT.  My mom’s potato salad…ribs.. at this weekend’s bbq. *sigh*  Anywho!  I’ll be fine, especially with these results!

Weighing In

October 15, 2011 – 10:40 am

187.6. Down from 189. *electric slide* 187 is where I stall out.  Every.single.time.  I haven’t seen less than that on the scale in years. I’m so hype!  Not only that, the jeans I’m wearing today?  They’re actually buttoned!!  I do have a teeny muffin top in them, but my shirt is loose fitting, so that’s ok!  I can’t wait to take measurements tomorrow, once I hit a full week! I am down a total of 4.6lbs!

Day 5

October 14, 2011 – 8:16 pm

I just realized I didn’t blog at all today!  Been busy and distracted.  I woke up this morning to 189 on the dot, a  .8 drop, which is less than I was expecting, but still a good drop.

Still feeling good, only slightly, slightly hungry right before the big meals, and not so much that I can’t ignore it until I hit my planned timings.  I try to spread things out, because for me, that keeps me feeling nice and satisfied!

I tasted radishes for the first time ever today! I cut them into wedges and roasted them, with salt, pepper, and garlic.  They were really yummy, kinda reminded me of turnips, or rutabagas.

For dinner, a yummy “taco” salad.  Lean (96/4) Ground Beef, seasoned with cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cilantro.  Serve over a 1/2 serving of lettuce and a 1/2 serving of tomato.  Sprinkle with your crumbled up melba toast for crunch.  Very.good!

I’m a little concerned about this family bbq today.  I’m going to take my own chicken breast and asparagus to put on the grill, but the ribs, and brats, and all of that which will be there…. *cries* I have the power though!

I really dont find myself feeling deprived until I have to fix Izzy’s meals during the day, when they’re things that I cant have.  Popcorn, cheese, raisins, sandwich meat.  I find myself just wanting to lick my fingers, lol!  Not out of hunger, just out of want!

I wont blog until end of the day this weekend, since I’ll be visiting family Saturday, and then church on Sunday.

Bringing Day 4 to a Close

October 13, 2011 – 9:59 pm

I am really feeling great!  There has been a big difference between today and yesterday.  I only found myself feeling hungry once, just before dinner, and that was quickly rectified by the chicken gumbo I had!

I’ve realized that the granny smith apples that I buy for Byron wont work for me.  That sour kick to them puts my teeth on edge, which keeps me from enjoying it.  And let me tell you something…when you can only have 500 cals, a day, you want to enjoy every.single.bite!

I also have discovered that I wasn’t taking the right dosage on my drops, which could have contributed to my hunger on yesterday.  I’ve ALSO discovered that I definitely over-payed for my drops, which are hormone-free, which means that it’s not even the homeopathic hcg!  I’m going to give these about a week to a week and a half, and if I feel that my results arent what they should be, I’ll be purchasing from a highly recommended company that I’ve found, and for much less than I paid for these!
