I forgot to post yesterday but I was up .4 but today I'm down 1 lb. Weight today is 196.8 total lost to date is 10 lbs.
I have eaten terribly today and I have the tummy ache to prove it. I don't know what exactly happened, well, yes I do know. I'm dealing with some medical issues. I went to see yet another specialist today and I was so dreading the trip and hate every second of the visit. Sad thing is the food did not taste as good as I thought it would and now I'm sick. Oh well, what is done is done.
I leave for my business conference Thursday. I'm taking my computer but I don't know whether or not I'll have the energy to post. Gotta go the potty is calling my name "Anna Belle come sit on me." Sorry, to graphic? Hope all of you are doing better than me.

HCG R1 D16 VLCD D13
You know you're on the VLCD when you start dreaming about food. No joke, two nights ago it was cake, strawberry cake with whipped icing. Last night, it was a sandwich, scrambled egg, cheese and mayo on untoasted whole wheat bread from Sneaky Pete's. Just keeping it real by sharing.
Weight wise I'm down .8 lb. Weight is 197.4. I so wanted that extra .2 lb so I would have one stinking lb off. I weighted three times silly me. My total to date is 9.4 lbs still over 1/2 lb a day so I need not be fussy.
I'm going out of state for a business conference this Thursday - Sunday. I'm wondering if I can travel with two injections or just skip them. I haven't taken any skip days, well, I guess forgetting the shot on the 4th day (first VLCD day) would be considered a skip day. I guess I'll just risk skipping a couple of days. I'll try my best to stay with the diet but will be limited to whatever I'm served. However, those things usually have buffets so surely I can make some good choices.
That's it for me today.

HCG R1 D15 VLCD D12
I'm posting early today because I may forget later. The weather has cooled so I'm going to spend time outdoors. I have a lot of errands to get accomplished this weekend.
Weight is down another .4 lb brings me to 198.2. Considering my tummy woes and slip on the diet, I'm happy I'm not showing a gain.
Also I took my two week measurements this morning. I've lost a total of 5.5 inches in just two weeks. Here is how it breaks down: 1 inch gone from my bust, 1 inch gone from my waist, .5 inch gone from my hips, 1 inch gone from my belly, 1.5 inches gone from my inner thigh (I measured the left one since I'm left handed), and .5 inch gone from my bicep (again my left one).
I can definitely tell a difference in my clothes. But the biggest surprise for me is that I can see a difference in places I don't measure. I see bones in my toes! They don't look quite as much like little sausages. Also my ankles look little. Can you tell I'm happy? I may have to do a little happy dance.

Weight down 1 lb this morning, weight 198.6
I'm not sure what happened today. I became very ill right after lunch today. I know this is gross but I need to know if you may have experienced anything similar. I thought I was going to throw up but it was the other end that got me. Not that I didn't need to go, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I was so weak and shaky when I got back to my office, I actually thought I might faint. One of my staff, gave me a pack of those peanut butter cracker things. She had eaten 1 but I ate the rest. After about an hour I was fine. I'm afraid the refrig. at work may not be keeping food cool enough. I really don't know. My food tasted o.k.
I'll just see what tomorrow's weigh in brings.

HCG R1 D13 VLCD D10
As expected my weight was up but only by .4 lb, weight is 199.6. On day 13 I've lost a total of 7.2 since the first injection. Not to great but I'm not going to let it get me down.
Today I ate earlier than usual but then didn't eat until I got home. I started reading when I came in and ate an apple around 5:30 p.m. I'm not hungry so I don't see the point of eating. It is the emotional (want to eat) craving to eat that gets to me. On the way home this afternoon, I wanted Subway. It was all I could do to talk myself into coming straight home.
Another busy day at work but it was a good day so I should not have wanted to turn to fast food. I think it is my missing bread. Real bread. I don't know what Melba toast is but it does not do the trick for me, neither does those long skinny cracker/breadstick things.
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that slips but keeps on going. Thanks for your support it helps more than I can say to know that I'm not alone on this journey.

HCG R1 D12 VLCD D9
Weight this morning was 199.2 down 1 lb. WooHoo under 200!!! However, that was this morning.
I succumbed to a Taco Bell chicken burrito and cinnamon twists. LORD it was sooooo goooood. In addition to work being very, very busy the building I work in is being roofed with a new metal roof. The roofers were working directly over by head all day. Over my head and right out side my window up and down their ladders and banging around drove me to distraction (actually right to Taco Bell). I have got to get a handle on emotional eating. I knew I had my dinner already planned for when I got home but I completely blew my own plans off in favor of a flour tortilla stuffed with yummy stuff. I knew I would be setting myself back and I didn't care at the time. I care now but the damage is done. Sad thing is I'm sitting here wanting to eat more. Not hungry just wanting to crunch and chew. Well no point in going on and on.
BTW some of those roofers are kinda cute. Too young for me but I can look. HA!

HCG R1 D11 VLCD D8
Weight was down 1.4 lb this morning to 200.2. Tomorrow I'll be one ninety something. How exciting. I hoped to be there sooner but I'll take it when it comes along.
Work is so busy that I didn't even think about lunch today. Around 2 p.m. I needed help formatting (fixing and making it pretty) a document. The clerk that came to my assistance/rescue mentioned that I didn't go to lunch. I thought it was just stress that had my head hurting and hands shaking. While she did her wizard work on my document, I ate an apple. I took lunch at 3 p.m. (I get off at 4 p.m.), skipped Curves, came straight home, laid down and took a nap. Now I'm waiting for hunger to hit before I eat. I read that if you aren't physically hungry then your body is burning abnormal fat. Do you think that is true? I also read that you don't have to eat everything you are allowed if you don't want it. When I first read that, I couldn't imagine not wanting the little bit I am allowed. Right now I couldn't care less about food, this is a wonderful thing. No hunger; no cravings; nothing telling me I gotta eat.
Anyway, I saw the comment about skipping exercise. Thanks, I appreciate your two cents. I do believe I will take your advice. I hate to exercise anyway but it is great stress relief. However, the nap this afternoon worked wonders. Yep, an after work nap may be better than exercise for a while. Well that's it for today's report.
