Thursday, Day 5 VLCD

I don't know who that strange person was that came to my house and did my dishes.  I hope she keeps coming back.  She also cleaned off the mountain of "stuff" on my desk.  Where did that energy come from?? 

I ate scrambled eggs with onions, asparagus and Greek pepperoncini for dinner.  Good thing I checked the serving size on the egg white container.  2 Tablespoons = 1 serving.  I thought it was a quarter cup.  Luckily I had just purchased new coffee measures that were clearly marked 1/8 cup.  Much easier to use them, than to try to pour into a single Tablespoon measure.  I got those at the Dollar Store just last week.

Yay, woke up this morning with a 2 lb loss.  That's 9.4  lbs in 5 days.

Tuesday Day 3 VLCD

I was so excited yesterday morning to get on the scale.........Battery DEAD on scale.  I didn't weigh myself yesterday after I had replaced the darn thing.  This morning, I show a weight loss of 7.4 lbs.  Yes!!

Sunday: Day 1 VLCD

After my two loading days, I gained 1.8 lbs.  Not as much as I was dreading.  Coffee, no milk so far.  A plan formulating for lunch and dinner.  At least I didn't wait for the last minute to buy foods that I can eat.  I wish though that I would have taken the time to clean up a little better after my feeding frenzy from the last two days. 

Loading, day 1

I believe I was as successful as I could possibly be.  I ate until I was uncomfortable, then ate some more.  Surprisingly, it really did not take much.  Having free reign to eat like a cow and to feel like a beached whale (honestly) didn't sit well, but I did it any how. The clock on the cable box tells me it will be time to take the drops in 12 minutes, but I have not ate, drank or smoked for at least 5.  Tomorrow I am advancing my "drop" times by an hour.  Mia and I will be taking them at the same time then.  Woo Hoo! 

Besides buying cat food for my kitty, I will be buying something decadant to eat tomorrow.  Yum, Snickers, Three Muskateers and maybe some M & M's.  I did buy a quart of chocolate milk today to have with my remaining maple bar in the morning.  That sounds like something I would have done as a teen. 

The last day of the old me

My friends.  In a way this is bittersweet moment.  I have established my weight loss goal.  It seemed like the 17th would never come around.  Please bare with me as I go through this learning process.  I know that "loading" is important; it just seems like there is something wrong when you are dealing with a new concept in weight loss.  I told Mia that I was scared.  I am afraid to fail once again.  I do realize that I have a support crew that will be there to pull me through this temporary trauma.  I apologize in advance for being a problem child to all of you.
