11th Day

In P3 that is ... I gained about .6, lost .4 ... and like that during this 11 days ... I have added many things to my menu .. pork, turkey sausage, whole eggs, avocado, blue cheese salad dressing, home-made greek yogurt, cream, blueberries, mixing veggies together for salads, salmon, broccoli ... lots of stuff ... today am .4 below my LDW (last dose weight) and happy as a clam! (are clams really happy? and how would you know?)

I pretty much eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm not. Try not to eat until I'm "FULL" but just to be satisfied and comfortable. Have begun reshaping also, though not fast enough to suit me ... I know, from past experience at this weight, I should be another size down, but that isn't happening yet, although the size I'm in is rather roomy (they weren't last time I was in them, but I weighed ten pounds more) and there is only a 'suck it up' between me and buttoning the next size -- I just refuse to be uncomfortable in my clothes at my age! Have always liked the look of tight pants, but just don't want to be that old broad dressing like a kid! Of course, if/when I actually get back down to an 8, we might discuss it! HAHA!

Have a grandson getting married and one graduating HS next month ... sure is getting old out!

P3

So, am staying near my LDW (last dose weight) ... just about half a pound off but we are allowed to fluctuate 2lbs without doing corrections, so am good for now. I expect to have some problems since I am on meds for my crazy eye problems, but will correct when need be.

I love that I have lost 23 pounds in 7 1/2 weeks and that in 6 more weeks I can start again and lose the rest of this ugly fat! Luckily my timing is perfect for heading to WA and on to CA with my beautiful daughter .. I will be in P4 and able to eat whatever I want .. it was a accident, but a happy one for certain!

I know some think we are all crazy on this Hcg diet, but if they would just take the time to get past the 500 Calories, they would know that we are all healthy and losing the BAD fats. On this site there is a ton of information. It takes dedication and will power, it isn't made for cheats .. but it works!

The End ... for now

So .. I have been the same weight for three days and this is VLCD 48, so it will be my last day taking Hcg (just a morning dose) and I will do the vlcd today and tomorrow and have a more or less regular breakfast on Saturday.

I will be eating added GOOD fats during the next three weeks, avocados, nuts, coconut oil, animal fats, dairy and the like. Also additional carbs will be added in as we go along. Three weeks to stabilize within two pounds of this new weight, then on to P4 in time for my trip with Julia ...

P4 will be more 'regular' eating during the trip (adding sugars and starches) and will make the trip easier to deal with. That is another three weeks, then back for R2P2 to see if I can get to goal or at least close. I'd love NOT to do three rounds, but if I must, I will!

Even though I don't eat yolks much, am really looking forward to a REAL breakfast!! Like, I don't know, an avocado & cheese omelet? NO NO NO .. can't add them all at once ... so maybe that particular meal will wait a week or two .. must make sure I know what adds weight and what my body will tolerate. This will be a journey unto itself!

Wish me luck! Happy scales to you and may God bless your journey, whatever it is!
