Day 6: The Honeymoon

Morning Loss: 2

Total Loss: 5.6

Morning mood: Hesitant

I know these numbers won't last, so I'm trying really hard to stay focused and not get too excited. I mean at this rate, If I did the diet for 40 days I would lose 70 pounds. Ha! In my first ever round of 40 days I lost 25 pounds. Since I am heavier this time, I am hoping I can eek out 30 pounds. This honeymoon stage is misleading and invigorating at the same time.

When I consulted Dr. Orchard, he recommended  I only do 28 days. I am still trying to decide which way I will go with this. Depends on how much I lose by then, I suppose. That date is April 1. If I go the full 40, it's April 13.

Day 5: Lucky

Morning Loss: 1.4

Total Loss: 3.6

Morning Mood: Satisfied.

I barely skated by yesterday. I had to cook for a party and have dinner there, so I had lettuce with a little taco meat and beans and corn. I really wasn't sure how that would go. But, I'm glad I still lost and there aren't any other roadblocks I can foresee. Here's to 35 more days...

Day 4: Power Trip

Morning Weight Loss: 2.2 pounds

Total Weight Loss: 2.2 pounds

Mood: Focused

Hello Again.

Three years and a set of twins later, I have to start this battle all over again. I am not blaming babies, but I will blame hormones for the battle it is to get the weight off and keep it off. I do not endorse HCG as the end-all of diets. In fact, I am honestly nervous about doing the program over and over again. I am more nervous about being fat indefinitely. And it has worked for me in the past. I think the "reset" is a real thing and my body is in desperate need.

I am starting out bigger and heavier than I have ever been. And right now I'm not in a place to post the actual number, but I will post my losses and gains and hopefully, I'll be able to come to terms with posting a real number soon. Today is day 2 of loading and I need to shop for the essentials and read up on the protocol by tomorrow.

One of my goals this time around became clear to me as I was tucking the babies into bed last night. If I get this worked out, they will never remember me as fat.
