R1P2D8, 284.0, -1.5, TOTAL -12.0 -- Week 1 is complete!!!

Well its been a heck of a week, 2 days of loading (eating as much as I could even though I wasnt hungry), doing HCG for the first time, giving myself injections for the first time EVER(scary as heck, but actually easy after the first one was done), and eating what in the past I would have thought was a crazy crazy small amount of food.

And here I am, 12 pounds thinner !!!  wooooohooooo

I actually lost the same amount on my first week of medifast, but that didnt include 2 days of loading.  Plus I have high hopes that not only am I losing weight, I am also fixing my messed up metabolism from years of yo-yo dieting.  Plus I am looking forward to Phase 3, which is now 1 week less away haha, and learning to add back food and keeping within 2 lbs of my weight. 

I was on medifast for 6 months and lost 115 lbs, but as soon as I starting adding food back, besides losing my gall blader, I started packing on the lbs.  On medifast there was no fruits, but you got about 100g carbs per day thru the shakes/soups/bars, so here I am actually getting less carbs.  But man, my strawberry shake is da bomb - never had anything as good as it!  Cant have that on medifast haha.  The main concern I have on this is if I am getting in all my vitamins and nutrients, with medifast I knew I was cause it was built into the shakes/soups.

Today was my first day back to work since being on the plan.  I was a good girl and took my food, but forgot my dang water.  And we have no bottled water at work, and I cant STAND tap water (atlanta water is nasty).  I use a brita filter at home. 

Unfortunatly I was so busy (you know how it is after a weeks vacation, emails, people in your office, pure craziness) so I missed my lunch break.  Uggggg.  So all I had all day was my strawberry shake (strawberries, water, ice, and the pink sweetner) and some coffee in the morning.  I got desperate and bought a diet coke from the vending machine - my first one since on plan.  So I am hoping that wont mess me up for tomorrows weigh in.  I didnt miss the food, wasnt hungry, but did get a little light headed in the afternoon,  I move around a lot at my job most days, so I think it was a little to much.

Anyway, I am home and have gotten some food in me.  Betcha I wont forget my water again haha.
