VLCD #3

Well this will be my third day on VLC. I got up at 7:30 to go to the restroom and I stripped and weighed... it said 260.0 which is down by 1.6!!! Yay! However, I then went back to bed because I had a huge headache... I got back up at 8:45 and decided to weigh again ("just to see") and it said 259.2 -- I took my shower and weighed again, "just to see" and it still read 259.2. I am recording the 260 because that was my 1st weight... if it is truly down, it will be down from that tomorrow.

Here are some pics of what I ate yesterday. The apple is not pictured because.. I was going to eat my apple at 3:00 for a snack - but my kids ate all the apples before I could save myself one, so I skipped my apple snack yesterday. I had an apple around 7:30 last night after supper. These were my meals yesterday though.

Chicken cooked in non/fat spray with Ms. Dash, Spinach with vinegar and melba toast.















My supper consisted of talipia in non/fat cooking spray with Ms. Dash and Lemon juice and Asparagus sauteed in a little water and non/fat butter spray with salt and pepper.

My headache is subsiding. I only have ibuprofen here at the house. I do have some naproxen sodium left over from a surgery I had last year... but I don't know if that is on the list of approved p2 meds. so... I just took aspirin. I will get some Tylenol today to keep on hand.

I am still taking Miralax (I don't like it! I have it in water and I can taste it, I have to force it down) I think I will take herb lax (Shaklee, all natural and in pill form!!!) from now on....

I have been consumed with thinking about my hcg diet. I know I will establish a routine, and this will become common place -- I am trying to focus on it so I obey the details, but I really want to make this a norm and get in a groove. For instance, last night, Friday night, it was so natural to want to go out to eat with my family. We usually go out on Friday nights -- but we opted to eat in -- I cooked my meal and my wonderful husband fixed for he and my 8yo. We had friends come over after dinner so it was nice to have social time with good friends! It was a nice evening.

I am going to Sam's today to stock up on some fruit. My whole family seems to follow me -- what I am eating - they want to eat.... It is funny, I started drinking nothing but water at the beginning of the summer.(except when we go to Chick Fil A -- which is where I have their wonderful sweet tea!) -- and now my 8yo wants to do the same thing... maybe I can establish better eating habits in her before it's too late!

Checking in here it is 3:30 and it has been a HARD day! I have been so hungry all day long... I have already had my 2 apples for the day (1 at 10:30 and the other at 3:00) I had spinach, talipia and lemon juice for lunch -- and 2 liters of water so far! From what I understand, the first week can be like this.... I will make it through the first week~ but just so you know... today has not been a piece of cake! oh speaking of a piece of cake... oops... (Just kidding!!!) I have been extremely faithful and following protocol to a "T"!!! I'll check back in later.
