Day 2VLCD, Day 4 altogether

r1p2d4

DOWN 4.9LBS SINCE YESTERDAY!!!!

THE HUBS IS DOWN 3.1!

The man just reported to me that he is down one hole on his belt, too! So awesome!

Well, yesterday was our first day on the VLCD, and I have to say, I wasn't that hungry at all. So the loading days (the Gorge) definitely work! Now we won't talk about the fact that I slept until 1:30 in the afternoon. That knocked out half the day's hunger right there :)

We had chicken and salad for lunch, and steak and asparagus for dinner. I did have a few cravings in the evening, but I just told myself, "Hey, it's just a craving. I'm not giving in, so it might as well just go away!" It worked :)

I will say that the 5 and 3 pounds we lost is also how much we gained on the Gorge, but hey, we lost 5 and 3 pounds in ONE DAY, PEOPLE!!! So there! It works! That's all I'm sayin'.

So excited to get on the scale after one day and at least find out that it works, ya' know?

Yay!

Happy Day w/ motivation to go another day!

Loading Days, aka, THE GORGE! (lol, El Gordo!)

So this is what we call r1p2d2 (round1 phase2 day2). You will see this abbreviation whenever I post.

Timothy and I spent our two gorge days feasting on chocolatey, sweet, gooey, fattening STUFF! We ARE stuffed, too! Here is a glimpse into our menu of the last 48 hours:

Let the Load begin!

coffee w/ heavy whipping cream

4 eggs scrambled w/ whipping cream, chorizo (17fg/serving) and butter

chocolate peanut clusters and mini hersheys milk chocolate bars throughout the day

hamburger with cheese and olive oil

4 deviled eggs

chips with guacamole

16oz chocolate milk with whipped cream

teriyaki/lemongrass beef kabobs

walnuts (18fg/serving)

Sunday:

Denny's Moons Over my Hammy Omelet (89fg) with hashbrowns w/cheese

coffee with extra cream

3 mini hersheys bars

handful roasted walnuts

3x 12oz chocolate milk w/whipped cream

6 fried mozzarella cheese stix

4 bacon/chicken/cheese pizza bite triangle thingies

2 slices of cheesecake (30fg each)

1 hot dog w/ bun

Chocolate and coconut ice cream

I know. You're thinking that's a ton of food! Well, I've seen worse. I imagined worse, actually. I had dreams of Chinese food, pizza, and Golden Corral, but alas, $60 worth of organic veggies later and the Gorge budget was shot! Yeah, eating healthy can be expensive, but once you get to the point where that's all you're buying, it's not that bad.

Just so ya' know, on this blog, I hope to settle into a routine of what I did (protocol-wise) and how I felt each day or each couple of days. But for now, since I have so much info and so many questions floating around in my brain, it's kinda willy-nilly on here! Well, those that know me, know that's pretty much the norm in this noggin! :P

We had some ups and downs on mixing our HcG. We got bubbles in it, which is not supposed to happen.... :(

Then the hubs has been having saliva issues! Yeah, seems that he is trying to just chill with the HcG getting dissolved under the tongue, but he is publishing massive amounts of spit. The concern would be that he is swallowing the HcG if it is getting mixed with the spit. That's bad, b/c it doesn't work that way. The med can't hold up to that stomach acid. So...we shall see. I say it will get easier for him, or else we'll notice that nothing's happening. In which case I wouldn't be totally bummed, b/c he's only got about 20 pounds to lose. I'm going for 3x that amount! "SHE'S GOING THE DIS-TANCE! SHE'S GOING FOR-SPEED!" Sing with me now!

Ok, well, it's 1:30 in the a.m. and after I eat a couple more bacon cheesy chicken triangle thingies, I'm going to bed! Tomorrow starts our 500 Cal. VLCD, and I think I should not be food deprived AND sleep deprived. For those of you who are wondering if a 500 calorie VLCD is healthy, check out these before and after pics of my amazingly awesome, cute, hot, older but shorter sister, and tell me which pic looks healthy to you!

FYI, the "after" pic, happens to be a mere two weeks "after" my adorable niece, Indi was born!
Took it off and has kept it off!!!!

That's what I'm talkin' bout!!!

See ya!
