Weigh in Day 7 from VLCD Day 6

One more day in this week left to weigh in after today. All I can say about yesterday is WOW. I have been seeing people discuss having a protein shake in the mornings and how clinics are selling these as HCG shakes. I also have heard about people using the Arbonne shakes as well, so I did a little googling and discovered that my whey protein shake that I have been drinking for almost a year, from www.lifetimewellness.com was far better as far as fat, sugar, carbs, and protein. So, I decided I'd have one for breakfast. It helped so much with the satiety. I wasn't hungry after drinking it and that pleased me greatly because the mornings are when I usually struggle most with hunger.

After lunch came to a close, I began finding myself more hungry than I've been so far on this protocol. I wanted to eat someone, and we were headed for a BBQ, which I wasn't sure I could restrain myself with that kind of hunger. We arrived and ther were chips and salsa laid out, so I decided, I'd have some of the fresh tomato salsa. That immediately helped my hunger. I didn't eat chips, I waited for dinner. I had brought a piece of fish with me, but after seeing steak, I decided to have about 100g of that instead. It may have even been slighly more, but we didn't have a scale present. It was marbly, fatty, and against the rules. I also had a wonderful spinach salad with dressing that had oil and sugar in it, and almonds in the salad. I had 2 bowls of that. MMMM, good. Then, after dinner, out came this jello cake. A white box cake cooked and then jello poured through small holes made all over the cake. Topped with ff whipped cream and strawberries. I had a piece of course. I couldn't restrain myself. I was, however, no longer hungry and began to wonder what I just sabotaged. It felt so good to be that sastisfied. Not stuffed, not gorged, but satisfied. That satiety carried me through until this morning with no hunger pangs.

I hopped on the scale before my shower......WHOA, WHOA WHOA, HOLY COW. I am DOWN 2.7!!!!!!! WHAT? How could that be with a cheat like that? More weight in a single day than any other day this week except the day following the load. I am down 10 pounds in 6 days. That is amazing. I even looked at myself in the mirror this morning thinking "could my face actually be thinner?" I was wondering if it was my imagination. I am amazed. I do not plan to cheat everyday, but next Saturday we have a party and I hope to do as well as yesterday and not get out of control. Moderation.

I feel so good. I did up my dose of HCG this morning to 175 after being so hungry yesterday. I'll see how it goes. Normally, I would skip today as far as injecting goes because I am on the 43 day protocol, but I will do that next week. I wanted to get control of the proper dosage first.

See you tomorrow!!
