day 10
morning weigh in: 0
my first zero day. It was so sad to see.
8.6 lbs in 9 days
I really thought I was doing a really good job of sticking to the protocol and I had hoped to see a good drop this morning since they have so small the past 2 day. I still have not really done more than urinate since last Wednesday and so I know that makes a big difference.
On Monday I met Kyle and Braylon at the park after work and we played around for awhile. Kyle did compliment me a few times and say it was the best I have looked in years. He had a little too much emphasis on year but it was still nice to hear.
hcg @ 7:45
snack @ 10 strawberries
lunch @ 2 remaining stew with chicken cut up in place of the beef
hcg @ 5:30
dinner @ 6:15 baked halibut with lime juice and salt
snack @ 6:45 pink lady apple
Changes:
no bread sticks
no macadamia nuts
took thyroid meds
drank 3 700 mL bottles of water @ work
drank only 1 700 mL of Rooibios/Crystal Light mix and its mostly Rooibios
drank smooth move tea @ 6 and took some helper capsules

day 8
morning weigh in: -.4 lb
weight loss: 8 lbs in 7 days
I'm not sure if its because I was so irregular on my sleep, hcg timing, fluid consumption, odd meals and times, or a combination of all of those. I am going to try to be by the book again with everything today and hope to make up for my small loss from this mornings weigh in. I am still averaging over a pound a day which is great, but I would love to be @ or below my next target weight by Sunday. If I can average 1 lb a day again this week I can meet it, and Iwould be so freaking excited.
hcg @ 8:40
snack @ 11 pink lady apple
lunch @ 1:45 grilled chicken and broccoli in grilling sauce
hcg @ 5:43 my dad told me I should set an alarm on my phone every day at 3:40 and 4 so I don't keep forgetting to take it on time. I really need to do that.
Reading in the yahooGroups forums people do write a lot about the fact that you need to make sure you get at least 500 calories if not 550. I can't believe I am typing at least 500. It seems crazy but some days if you get going and are busy or don't plan well you end up eating under the 500 just to make sure you don't splurge and go over, but it can stall weight loss right away. People report losing more eating 550 calories than eating 450.
dinner @ 7:30 grilled chicken cut op over a bowl of romaine lettuce with lime juice, 1 hard bread stick
snack @ 10 pink lady apple
I am going to try a few days where I don't eat so late at night. I shouldn't be anyway and if I would get to bed at a decent hour I wouldnt feel the need to eat an apple that late.

morning weigh in: -1.6 lbs!
total loss: 7.6 lbs!
hcg @ 9:35
snack @ 10 hard breadstick
snack @ 11:30 pink lady apple
hcg @ 5:15
lunch/dinner @ 6 scrambled eggs with broccoli and some green chilie sauce mixed in. Cup of cut strawberries.
We meet for church from 1-4 and I was not prepared to make a full lunch before we left. After church we were invited over to a friends for dinner so I thought I would make up my meal and bring it over, but when we got home I realized I didn't have any more of my chicken or halibut thawed. I cooked up the eggs and broccoli - but I used 4 medium eggs and 2 of the egg yolks since I hadn't had anything else as far as protein. I salted and peppered the eggs and put some, but not very much of the green chili sauce in. It was really good but, maybe too much fat with the 2nd yolk? I know you are just supposed to use one, but I accidently dropped the whole egg in my bowl and didn't bother to remove the yolk.
Again I am impressed with this will power that has taken over. In some areas of my life I think I have amazing self control/dicipline but I never have with diets or restrictions in what I can eat. I think its just time. I have been so sick of this body that I feel I am trapped in that is just not me. I can not wait to look and feel more like the me that I see in my head again.

day 5
morning weigh in: -.8 lbs!
total loss: 5 lbs.hcg @ 8:45 am
lunch @ 3:15 Chicken breast with romaine lettuce diced up with a little of the juices from cooking the meat and some mustard, one hard breadstick.
I didn't prep the night before - which I really need to do for all working days. I worked through the day and went home to make my lunch and then rush over the the movie theater with my boys to catch a matinee showing of Ice Age.
- I picked up basic yellow mustard at Whole Foods, just because we were there, and it is incredibly vinegery. It actually tastes a little sour and makes it taste like my vegetables have gone bad. I need to replace that right away. ech!

day 4
morning weigh in: -1.2 lbs!
hoped for a little more but happy its at least a pound.
total loss: 4.2 lbs.
hcg in bed @ 7:45
snack @ 11 pink lady apple
I'm usually counting down the minutes until 10 am so I can eat but I wasn't hungry until 11 today. I had been drinking water and the water/rooibios mixture all morning.
lunch @ 1 shredded chicken breast with broccoli florets - again just drizzled in the sauce created from cooking the chicken.
2 700mL bottles of water with my rooibious/crystal light combo.
hcg @ 4:30
dinner @ 7:45ish same as lunch. I had to make sure I ate at the same time as the boys because they cooked up a pizza in the oven that smelled amazing!
snack @ too late, cut up strawberries and hard bread stick. I also popped a couple of macadamia nuts.
I think over the course of the evening I ended up eating 3 of the bread sticks - which is excessive. And I might have used too much of the sauce in both my lunch and dinner. I had more temptation today with the pizza smell wafting through my house, and Braylon had a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich that I broke off pieces and handed to him in the car. I so wanted to just have one ... tiny bite, but I didn't. That type of self control is something I am trying to learn.

day 3
morning weigh in: -2.8!!!
hcg before work
mixed up 700 mL bottle of water with rooibios tea and about 1/2 a packet of a travel packet of crystal light - raspberry. Very, very good.
snack @ 10 sliced strawberries
gum
lunch @ 1 marinated chicken, shredded. 1 C broccoli florets with a little of the poppy seed dressing
2nd 700mL bottle of water
I still have to pee about every 30-45 minutes. Talking with my mom I realized that when I was pregnant I first know it because I have pee all the time. hcg=pregnancy hormone.... = lots of bathroom trips for me. Still totally clear.
hcg @ 5
snack @ 5:40 pink lady apple
dinner @ 7:45 shredded chicken with broccoli cut small mixed together drizzled in the sauce that I made while cooking the chicken. I also had one bite of the scrambled eggs that I was making for Braylon and Kyle (no milk or cheese) and I had 3 macadamia nuts.
2nd 700 mL bottle of water with rooibios tea and about 1/2 a packet of a travel packet of crystal light - raspberry. Bray helped me, he loves any mixture of the rooibios.
I had a lot od energy near the end of the day and used it to help put togehter Braylon's new big boy bed and rearrange his furniture.
Good Day.

day 2
morning weigh in: -.2 lbs
yes, there is a . before the 2. but at least its the right direction.
hcg before work
snack @ 10 5 strawberries, still oh so good. - costco
lunch @1:30 chicken and mustard romaine lettuce wraps.
I didn't prepare them as well as my dad did, but I will pick up the supplies tonight after work.
2 pieces of sugar free very low calorie gum. Rain 5 by Wrigley. - costco
no headaches so far.
dinner @ 7:15 grilled chicken lettuce wrap with a light honey mustard and some broccoli florets with a tiny bit of poppy seed dressing.
1 more sugar free gum.
and lots of water throughout the day.
hcg @ 10 eek! forgot to bring it work with me, and ran out of the house for Kyle's softball game and then grocery shopping until late. Then I kept forgetting and drinking water so that I had to wait longer to take the drops... then forget again...
I didn't end up with any headaches but I felt more hunger and was very thankful I had the gum. I really think that most of it was mental, I wanted to be able to eat something if I wanted it, and it was frustrating that I was sitting at a heavier weight than I had been at for months (trip/loading) and yet I was on this restricted meal plan. So, no headaches, but maybe a little additional orneriness.
We made it to the store last night and I picked up additional ingredients so that I can cook my meats more like my dad does, which is so good. I also bought coconut oil and some macadamia nuts to try making the chocolate delight turtles my dad wrote about here. I mixed the oil with the cocoa powder and added some of the sweetener blend my mom made for me. It wasn't very appealing to me... but I'm not a huge chocolate fan in general. Supposedly the coconut oil helps me burn fat so I guess I will try it tonight. I put some macadamia nuts in the mix before refrigerating... and popped 2 in my mouth. They tasted so good.
Kyle took my measurements for me before bed, hopefully I will be able to see a huge change in those numbers throughout this process.
