OH MY WORD….I LOST ANOTHER 2 POUNDS!!!…….BREAK THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!
I slept all night hard and long. I feel good this morning…really good. So far I am so happy with what I am doing to change my body. I am so EXCITED and HAPPY I can’t contain my JOY. This is what I have been searching for. THANK YOU LORD.
(-3 lbs this morning)
Well, I think yesterday went pretty good….I could not sleep last night because of hunger….I had to get up and eat about 50 calories of baked chicken. I only slept about 4 hours all night.
Breakfast: I had one slice of turkey breast…sliver and 1 egg white only
Lunch: chicken breast 100 grams, one laughing cow herbs and garlic/light, and asparagus
Snack: small apple
Dinner: 100 grams of steak, mushrooms and onions sauteed in water and garlic, salt and pepper and 1 cup of romaine hearts torn up.
Snack: small apple
I did my hcg drops 15 minutes before each meal…I am extremely surprised at how I feel. I am over all not hungry. This is big for me…..that is why I end up just maintaining my weight after a week of being so perfect…..I am so famished that I end up eating on the 6th or 7th day and maintain for the week. This is a BIG breakthrough for me.
I hope I sleep tonight.
Total calories: 500
Okay…yesterday was a blurr….I didn’t log my day…but here it is in a nutshell….I did carb loading and fat loading because today I am starting on the hcg drops. I am going to give this a try. My main reason for doing this is because I was almost perfect last week with my diet plan and exercise and I lost nothing….NOTHING. I also am so hungry. I researched this plan and I am going to test it out to see if I can break through and release some body fat. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. I will keep trying to have a break through.
So….the plan is this: I do 10 drops under my tongue 3x’s a day. I eat a 500 calorie diet. That sounds crazy….it is crazy until you research why hcg works….it fools your body into thinking you are pregnant and when you eat a low calorie diet your body thinks you are in starvation mode and releases stored body fat. I did hcg injections back in the 80’s and it worked….you can now buy it over the counter. So today is my first day on the 500 calorie plan. I will log my food and how I feel several times a day to closely monitor my health.
Lord, I pray that You would help this to work for my body. I pray that I am not hungry and that I feel good and release body fat. In Jesus Name. Amen
Breakfast: coffee and water only
10 drops under tongue at 8:30 a.m.
I did not feel anything from the drops except that I was not hungry…which is what I want.
Drops at 11:30
Lunch: 12:00 -2 cups raw spinach leaves with turkey
ate apple at 3:00
I felt good all day….not hungry…so far so good.
Drops 4:45
Dinner: 5:00- 2 cups romaine lettuce with 100 grams steamed chicken breast
ate apple at 6:00
Still not hungry.
Larry got some dessert at 6:30 and it bothered me badly. I was not hungry but just watching and hearing him eat it drove me nuts. I think that is going to be the hardest thing.
It is almost 7:00 and I can’t believe how good I feel with only eating around 500 calories today. First day done.
Dinner
I woke up with a headache….crazy….I hardly ever get a headache…usually when I cut way back on my food and exercise more….and that is what I did yesterday….so it is right on schedule. I don’t like it.
