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.

R1P2D7, 285.5, -1.0, TOTAL -10.5 No injection today

Today was my first "day off of injections" day.  If you are doing a 40 day round, you are supposed to take one day off a week from injections so your body doesn't become immuned to the HCG.  I was curious if I would feel different, more hungry, obsessing over food, etc.  But nope, nadda, nothing different.

Lost another pound overnight. Wooohooo.  Maybe could have been more, but I am still not able to get more than 40 oz of water in + my coffee and tea.  So again, I will try to get in more today.  One of these days I will actually get there!

Today is my last vacation day and must return to work tomorrow - boohoo.  So I spent some time today adding some reviews and links to my blog.  And I will need to cook up my food for tomorrow's lunch when I cook my dinner.  It will be my first day at work since being on plan.  All will be fine as long as I plan ahead.  I am going to take my evening fruit with me too, just in case my blood sugar crashes, so I will have something on plan to eat if it's needed.

Well, that's all I got today kids.  Life is good, HCG is great, I am losing, what more could a girl ask for?  Hmmm to hit the lottery so I dont have to go back into work haha.  Ahhh I girl can dream :)
