Ok, talk about DeJa Vu – guess who decides to come for a visit yesterday? Without warning, without even asking??? AUNT FLO!!!! OMG! She just appeared out of nowhere. Good grief. That is just not even funny. So, on top of a load, on top of not feeling 100% yet, I have to deal with this INSANE person. At the beginning of my LAST round she did the exact same thing. The first day of my VLCD she decides to rear her ugly head. OMG – I am SO OVER HER!!!

2.4 Pounds is respectable based on that alone. I will accept it. Altho it just MIGHT take me longer to reach that loss of my gain during R2P3.

My menu yesterday was an orange in the morning, steak and onions for lunch, a half a grapefruit for snack, and shrimp and asparagus for dinner. All in all about 470 cals, with 11 being fat, 43 being carbs and 53 was the protein.

Had fun making the rounds yesterday, feeling like I am getting back to my old self. The only thing that wasn’t pleasant about yesterday was that I had two sick men in my house. My 2nd son didn’t go to school, and my husband didn’t go to work. I was really worried about my husband, thinking at first he had food poisoning, but it turns out he just had an old fashioned flu bug. Two men, sick. Can you imagine what my day was like???

Ok, I have to give a plug for a wonderful blogger out there. I cannot do the justice that she did with putting up a new blog, all I can say is that if you can find it in your heart to help this beautiful person out, the joy you will bring her will come back to you in spades. And seriously, we cannot let this atrocity happen to such a gorgeous soul! LOL

Please go and visit her, or you can click on the upper left corner of my blog to go directly to her Etsy store. Her stuff is really REALLY nice!

Ok, enough of the commercial interruption!

I have to say that it’s very interesting to watch the different blogs and posters come to conclusions about this protocol. I am finding more and more this is such a personal journey, and the lessons we learn from this are too numerous to mention. It’s so fun to watch it in myself when I come up with a light bulb moment, and even more fun to watch it in other people.

Folks, we are on an incredible journey to health. We are learning to listen to our bodies for the first time in our entire lives. Learning what works and what doesn’t. Learning how to cherish this gift of a miraculous machine we have. Learning how to maintain it at optimum performance. Learning what happens when we put “regular” fuel in it instead of “premium”. Geesh, what an experience!

Ok, enough of the existential stuff!

On to my commenter’s:

Amy – You certainly did make headway to your LIW!!! 9 POUNDS???? In TWO DAYS??? I say that is making headway! LOL – thanks for the visit girl!

Crystal – Biziness, HA! I just LOVE it!!! Girl? 40 pounds is doable, but it might mean going thru the holiday break. You prepared for that? I need to talk about that in one of my posts. I have some strong feelings about the “socialness” of family and food. Let me put that in my notes…

Larbsl – with Aunt Flo paying me an unexpected visit, I would say I NEED those 170 vibes badly! Thanks!

BB – OMG! It was KILLER! I will get the recipe posted, but it’s definitely a PHASE 4 ITEM! LOL

Lili – Big hugs right back!

B – It’s good to be back! Thanks for the welcome! Your doing MAHVELOUS DAHLING! LOL

Tracey – I just gotta say girl, you disappear TOO MUCH! Inquiring minds and all. We are HUNGRY for information!!! I will be checking out your blog later on this morning, can’t wait to see the update!

Folks, tell me what you think of my latest and greatest idea … I am thinking about putting together a PodCast about HCG – something to run maybe twice a month or something? What do you think? Just an informational type thing about tips and tricks and questions and answers. Not that I am the FOREMOST authority on this, but something that could help people and guide people, and we could have some fun.

I used to be an internet radio DJ, did I ever tell you folks that??? hehe – a part of my life I would just as soon forget, but I do have the knowledge of having a radio broadcast and I have been told I am entertaining at times. Oh well, it’s something that is running thru my brain.

Ok, I gotta get this house party started, I wonder who will be going to work today, who will be going to school, and if me and Aunt Flo will have some SANCTUARY today! ROFL

Take care, and think RAINBOWS and SUNSHINE!

Miz Biz (thanks Lili, I like that one!)

Be patient with my stats up there until I get to the point of where I want them. I don’t know how to record this third round, going into all sorts of uncharted territory!

I am most definitely on the mend, altho I did lose my voice for a bit yesterday, but it seems to be back. Wow, this thing really took a hold on me ya know? Today, I hope to have enough energy to disinfect and clean all the ickys out of my house while the children are back at school. Back to normal routine again, ahhhh, this feels good.

Yesterday, I didn’t eat much, but what I did eat was loaded with salt. I was SO over food the last two days! JPS, what a blessing she is, stayed with me the entire weekend while the guys were gone. I really couldn’t have made it without her. But yesterday we joked the entire day about eating. We would just look at each other and laugh – we were both over food. I am glad the “load” is over.

Just to let you know what I ate yesterday, this in no way constitutes a “load” – but it filled me to capacity! Please keep in mind my portions were so small, seriously! And this was eaten throughout the day. I kinda snacked throughout the day.

1) Two slivers of carrot cake (one in the morning and one in the evening)
2) One sliver of lemon meringue pie (lunch)
3) About 6 corn chips and about 3 tbsp of guac
4) WonTon soup (only 3 wontons)
5) Steamed Dumplings (only 3)
6) Half a turkey sandwich (turkey, lettuce, mayo)
7) Donut (half a boston cream and half a glazed) Turkey with a spoon of sweet potato soufflé

See there? UGH! I am so ready for today’s 500 calories! Back to the norm!

Considering last Tuesday morning I was at 194.2 and today I am at 193.2 – after a LOAD no less, I don’t think things are that bad at the start of this round. I truly did not do my R2P3 according to protocol, but it’s nothing but lost time. I am HOPING that I will be down the 5.8 pounds within the first 3 days – interesting stat – during my first round I lost 5.8 in the first two days, and during my 2nd round I lost 6.2 in the first three days, so quite possible I could lose this excess 5.8 and be back to my LIW by Thursday, let’s hope eh???

What is my goal this round? Let’s think about this a minute. During my first round, I lost 20.4 lbs (8.13% of Body Weight) on my 21st day, during my 2nd round I lost 17.8 lbs (8.30% of Body Weight) on my 21st day – so I imagine that I can lose about 8% of today’s weight in 21 days. 8% of today’s body weight is about 15 pounds. Would I be thrilled with 15 lbs in 3 weeks, um, can you say NO BRAINER???

So that is my goal, 15 pounds. That will take me into the 170′s – a place I haven’t been in FOREVER, thank you very much!

Let me get to my commenters and then I will call it a morning. I do still have to acknowledge back posts, but let me just get these done this morning and I will work on the others later on during the day…

Lili - OMG – I have to write you an email about your “Hawaii” earrings, you will get something sometime this morning, but girl, you have NO idea! LOL – what a sweetheart you are!!! I just love your SHOP on ETSY! I so need a ‘button’ to advertise you on here sweetheart! GO GIRL!

Amy – thanks for the visit, and the well wishes, I will get to your blog today!

Tracey – I did! LOL – Resting was the order of the day this whole weekend!

Crystal – Can’t wait to see how your weekend went!

B – Girl, almost a week down for you eh? I can’t wait to see how you did!

Larbsl – Thanks for the well wishes, they must have worked, I am feeling better!

Becca – Positive thinking eh??? How neat! I did alot of that also this weekend, and I think it worked! Feeling better!

Thanks all for putting up with my sparseness over the last couple of weeks. I think things should be better here on out. Nothing in my future except my plans to go to Hawaii in March/April.

I am on PHASE 2 AGAIN! WOO HOO FOR ME!!!

Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday. I am feeling better than I have since Thursday, but still not 100%. Yesterday was a very rough day for me, but I rested all day and downed myself with lots of vitamins and liquids. My friend JPS went out and got some “Chinese” food for us (all the boys are out of town this weekend) and I had some good Won Ton Soup and some Steamed Dumplings. I am sure my weight gain is from all of that, after all, this is a “load”.

I appreciate the thoughts that I should wait with the protocol until I get better, but since I am a SAHM I really don’t have any “need” to get better quick. I will let this nasty thing take it’s course and what better way to attempt 500 cals but when your sick. I can make soup all day and be happy ya know?

This will be another day of rest for me. I surely appreciate the visits – I feel so honored to have regulars on my blog. Please allow me one more day to get over this and I promise I will make my rounds once again.

I am ready for this upcoming round. Mentally.
