I’m in one of those moods where quiet is good. I go to work, do my thing and then come home and enjoy the pups and make a few hats here and there for orders. Nice and quiet.
Tomorrow I have the day off to go to the Creativ Festival and I’m excited, especially since I decided last week to add handmade cards to my Etsy store – like this one:
I restarted Round 2 of the hCG protocol on Saturday with the two days of loading (can you say OINK?) and now am on day four of VLCD. I find it harder this round as I’m comfortable at my current weight though still overweight. Ah well – I’m sure I will get back my weightloss mojo when I start seeing the numbers drop :)

So TOM is here, I’m miserable and realizing why I had originally set it up to start round 2 this coming weekend (AFTER TOM). So I’m going on a mini-break until Monday. I will gather my bearings (save my drops!) and do a mini-load this weekend.
NSV – one of my many bosses came to me yesterday and said I was melting away in front of him and that I looked great :)

I tried so hard on the last few days in Round 1 of VLCD to hit onederland but the closest I got was 200.2lbs which was also my LDW for that round.
This morning I hit 199.7lbs so I have entered ‘virgin fat’ territory and ONEDERLAND :) I weighed twice this morning as I couldn’t believe the number the first time since it was so elusive back in round 1, lol.
I have to go grocery shopping after work – need food, all out of protein and need some fresh veggies.
I will say that this protocol has helped me enjoy non-processed foods all the more and when I veer off plan (I’m definitely not perfect) it makes me want to go back to clean eating since I feel so much better…mentally and physically. When I used to diet (weight watchers, counting calories etc) I still ate a lot of processed foods. While I do lose on these diets, it never made me crave fresh fruit/veggies and a baked chicken breast. I just ate my Lean Cuisine’s, low fat pudding cups, etc. Now? Give me fresh :)
Today for lunch: chicken and brussel sprouts – yum!

Okay…not so much :)
I’ve actually been in a loner mood as of late, so I have been going home right after work, making any hats ordered and watching Smallville, keeping to myself. I am currently in Season 5.
I have been maintaining my weight pretty well since my LDW. You are suppose to maintain your weight +/- 2lbs during maintenance and I’ve been doing that, I’m currently up .9lbs since that day. Normally on the HCG diet you are suppose to do 6 weeks of maintenance but I’ve decided to cut it short and I’m starting Round 2 on Saturday, well more than likely Friday evening. Saturday/Sunday will be my loading days (250g of fat need to be consumed each day) and then Monday back to clean, low carb, low fat, low calorie eating.
I lost 27.1lbs on my last round which I did for 60 days, not sure how long I will do this coming round but I’d love to see 30lbs :) I just need to be a bit more strict (stop the morning coffee with cream, etc) and I’d lose more. We shall see. Losing 27.1lbs in 60 days is nothing to scoff at so I may just do what I did then and not feel overly deprived.
My father’s due to come by tonight. He’s heading to the Dominican to meet with some old friends tomorrow and since I only live 15min outside the Toronto Airport he decided to drive down from Pembroke today. I wish I could go with him!
Anyways…need to post this, my software routine is almost done running and I’m interested in the results it’s gonna spit back at me :) Toodles!

I so, wanted to see 199.9 on the scale this morning. After seeing 200.2lbs yesterday I thought I would but nope. And..today is my last drop day which means this is the weight to use for maintenance :/
But on a happy note, I have lost 27lbs of fat since January 9th and I feel healthier and so much better about myself.
I calculated when my next round will begin: April 28. So for now the goal is to teach my body to maintain my current weight, I can do this.
