It's the morning of Day 3 and I made it through the dreaded loading days. I feel way too full and slightly sick to my stomach. Can't wait for it to pass (if ya know what I mean). I gained 5 pounds, So I am at 236 after loading. I tried to use the loading days to bid a fond farewell to some of my previously favorite foods. I say previously because in the last month I have eaten mostly all on plan foods (at 1000 cals/day) and found that eliminating sugar and starch makes me feel great and I lost 10 pounds. But it was nice to have a chance to try them again, just hard to eat them all in 2 days!
So here is what I ate on Loading Day 2: Breakfast at Cracker Barrel 3 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 slices of sourdough toast, hashbrown casserole (fav) coffee with cream and sugar. I picked up 2 shortbread cookies (fav) from Paneras and ate them around noon. Again so full from that I couldn't go to lunch, so at 4pm I went to the mall and grabbed an Auntie Annes salted soft pretzel with extra butter (fav). Then I went to dinner at Chili's and had the appetizer trio with 2 slider burgers, boneless buffalo wings, spinach dip and taco ships with salsa and finished it off with a large slice of strawberry cheesecake. Woah!
I have read that we should do healthy fats on loading days, and I will probably change what I load for Round 2, but it was worth it to say good bye to my comfort foods that have taken me though some tough times. Now that I know how toxic the sugar is, I will be banishing most of them forever. And good riddance. I will be much healthier and happier without them.
Today is meal planning day for the week. I'll grocery shop and cook for the week so I can just grab and go each day.
Also, I measured my inches today. I put them in a tracking speadsheet and will record them here as well. Here they are for R1P2D3:
Weight: 236
Neck: 15.75
U Right Arm: 16.00
L Right Arm: 13.25
Right Wrist: 7.50
Under Armpit:42.25
Bust: 50.00
Under bust: 41.00
Waist: 49.00
Hips: 51.00
Right Thigh: 27.00
Right Knee: 17.50
Right Calf: 17.25
Right Ankle: 10.00
That's the starting point for me. Can't wait to see results. Happy Losing Everyone!
Losing 100 pounds is not an easy process. But HCG has changed everything for me. My first round I lost 23 pounds and dropped 2 sizes in six weeks. In Round 2 I lost 19 pounds and dropped 3 more sizes. I went from a size 24 to a 14! I will start Round 3 in May 2011 and I can't wait to lose another 20. I blog about my daily meals and how I feel on the HCG and also after HCG how I stabilize and maintain at my new lower weight. I also have links to recipes and describe how to do the HCG protocol.
