Day 2 VLCD After the Fair:)

Hi!
The fair is over. I re-loaded somewhat, started on the hCG and am on day 2 of VLCD for this cycle. I was able to keep 3 pounds off during the fair, which to me is remarkable.
I have lost a total of 5.1 pounds since I started the hCG on Saturday evening and a total total of 7.8 pounds. I am in the 180's finally! WOOHOOO!!!! I feel like I will lose at least 10 pounds the first week in addition to the 3 remaining pounds lost for a total of about 13 pounds!!! Won't be long until I am having the 20 pounds lost party in my Blog!!!

It was amazing to me that i was able to keep off even 3 pounds at the fair. It was hot, 90-100 degrees every day plus I didn't eat on Phase 3 or even try. I ate tons of chocolate covered caramel apples, chocolate covered bananas, fried pies....so much junk!!! But I was moving around a lot so that may have helped some.

I was so excited to get back on protocol, I could hardly wait. On Saturday evening (the night before the last day) I took a dose of hCG. So before my VLCD day 1, I had 5 doses in me instead of 4. I really believe that has helped me with hunger issues so far. Last time the first week was almost unbearable regarding the hunger. I have had some hunger but it is manageable with teas and the cabbage soup:)

I have lowered my initial goal weight from 132 (what i weighed when my DH arrived) to 120 which I think will be a better weight for my frame. Then I will quit smoking and have some extra weight to play with during that first 2 months of quitting.

See? I have it all planned out:) I really am looking forward to being fit and thin and healthy, for once in my life. God has been so good to me and I feel I have disappointed Him in the way I care for myself. He gave me this body and look what I have done with it. I have shown it nothing but disrepect and abuse. Now that I am 48, I feel this is my last chance to turn this around and be able to live a healthy happy life:)

Very happy to be back in the saddle again, enjoying the slide!!! Will post again soon!
Hugs!
