Two in one...

Monday 4th of July and Tuesday the 5th,

On monday diet was perfect, nothing missed... lots of water and what... well when I woke up on Tuesday I had lost NOTHING!

Tuesday the visit came, and of course with it, some tiredness. A friend in the hospital, I was stuck babysitting and more tiredness but enough that I can't sleep.

Monday I took the day to catch up on my future plans. Went to Yoga, had a great class, before I went to yoga I had an hot sliced apple and plenty of water. Came back, dinner and the movies.

Tuesday, my stomach was not very receptive to food given that the bloating was so uncomfortable. Oh well, tried some tea...only had half. Sat down and made myself have some lunch... a couple of slices of roast beef and a small soup. Plenty of more water, and because I was not hungry for dinner, three strawberries and more water.

Tues was my first day without HCG, until I get done with this cycle.

Lazy Sunday...

New post... Friday, friday night!!!! saturday, oh saturday night!!

Friday night, movies and eating out...first night having to order out. Fears are best faced head on, so I sat between good smelling food passing me by and a beautiful headlined menu...full of fat and more fat, and sugar of course!!!

Ordered myself a chicken caesar salad without dressing, parmesan cheese or croutons.... there were more items off the salad than on, But it was great with a side of vinegar and mustard! Ordered a Perrier with lime on a stem glass, so I could feel that I was joining her in cheers with a Margarita!

Company and conversation was great, so food didn't feel as boring.

Saturday, was complicated. I needed to run around, do tons of errands and not get side track by ANYTHING> My body and taste buds have been a accustomed to cake night! Damn sugar, salivating in my mouth!!

Second night out on the town. I was going out to Blue for drinks with the Delgado group, drinks, temptations. Food and portions were no problem but drinks... oh well... I made it throughout the whole night, watching how every one of them got crazier, grumpier, sleepier, and crazier once again... jajaja... being the sober one has it's perks but I am still looking for the perks!

The night was long long... lots of water in my system and really tired with a hangover next day that I couldn't understand. Glad the rain and thunderstorm kept me coming back to bed... some more water, coffee and food...all that at around NOW(3pm) made the trick to make me feel balanced once again.

*I injected myself today one hour late!

: only lost .5lbs

: mood swings (hopefully hormonal)

:

Long BBQ weekend ahead!

I believe that the days are leveling out. I am good.

Craving are not that insistent, and I am not hungry.

I am cocooning a bit because I do not want to be hit with temptation, and believe me when i tell you the bottle of water does not calm nottin'.

keeping myself busy, hope everything stays in order this long bbq weekend!!! :D

Good goal:

Friday and I have lost a total of 5lbs.

I believe that yesterday, the diet although followed it well, I did not have enough water. I am not sure where I went a bit distracted in stuff, maybe because I was with the niece and nephew and was not all up on MY things.

lesson learned. this weekend while everyone gains, I will keep losing!

Mom's birthday!

My mother's birthday, in a house full of chefs and a table full of goodies...

I kept myself busy during the day to have an afternoon coffee to hold me until the dinner hunger.

As the days go by the anxiety for food lessens. I can wait to eat, and when I eat I feel full.

Good transition.

At the party I waited as long as I could hold the temptations, because my eyes were filling with scrumptious food. The moment the smells infested the space I was in, I sat in a corner, pulled my lunchbox and happily had my dinner!

Comments were great! ...and of course, since I don't like compliments

"you look unrecognizable!" my aunt said

"So and so can't stop looking at you..."someone said "let him use me as eye candy, as long as he doesn't touch me, I don't have to slap him!" jaja

I had cabbage and chicken breast for dinner...

was a little nauseous after eating... went away after an hour or so.

Lost another pound on the weights. for a total of 4.5

Wednesday for Tuesday...

One of the side effect of the diet is that you get to confuse, wednesday with tuesday... haha!

Well on a super happy note, I start my entry today saying that I have lost 2 extra pounds today for a total os 3.5 since monday... loving it!

The day yesterday(Tues) was so much better. Instead of working from home. I decided to go invade one of the empty offices at the office. So, I made my lunch... chicken breast with arugula salad, breadsticks and an apple got dressed and headed to face people.

Instead of emailing these people, I kept moving through the floors into their offices... talked to people i hadn't seen in a while and increased my work load by 15% to leave the office and start creating a reliable routine so I can keep up with this.

I have to say today that it worked!

I got home, got organized, prepared my dinner and everything seemed in order.

No anxious hunger.

Pee'd alot and alot.

I can share, game night and tea time with my friends in the evening.

mood: productive

Tea for Tuesday!

Needless to say, day number one of 500 calories was a stretch... i made it with a lot of naps in between so I wouldn't feel the hunger.

After my tea morning, lunch was a bit of a challenge... for my first real low-cal meal I was to eat lunch with a friend. I picked Freshmart to keep myself in the healthy side of things. I had a bed of lettuce with tomatoes and chicken breast with salt seasoning. it was a bit sad but the conversation entertained my mind and stomach... ufff

An hour after lunch, I was hungry like I had never had anything to eat! filled myself with tons of water was still a bit anxious/cranky and fell asleep for a short nap, took work to the dinning room table as I distracted myself enough that I didn't go to YOGA :(

Soon it was dinner time. I had a buffalo filet (3.5oz) and a handful of aspargus! Yumm... where was the rest, I have no clue? but I am hoping that hunger diminishes as days go by!

At times during the day i thought I was not going to make it...

Estoy en la disyuntiva de si decirle a la gente en la que estoy o no? El decidir hacerlo secreto fue porque como todo el mundo tiene algo que opinar no me sentia que me apoyarían, sino que traerían todas las cosas negativas de mi proceso... y entonces a la misma vez no quiero mas estrés. Que si este proceso tendrá effectos secundarios? probablemente, pero todo en base a la salud tiene efectos...

hoping to get out there again and forget about food...

Strength, I search for strength.

Tea time: Calm from Tealosophy. (reminiscing on my last trip to Uruguay)

Mood: anxious

Being that I write about my day the next morning, I have already weighted and lost 1.5lbs!!!

I can do it! I can do it!

Sunday sunday...

Breakfast:

Bacon, chicken.

Lunch:

Churrasco, arroz, habi, papa asada, crepa con dulce de leche.

Snack

Milk and Oreo cookies

Dinner

Malta con hummus and chips.

I swear the intake of food would have not been my choice if I had one. After the snack I was crashing from all the sugar and fat I was trying to fill my body with. So I took a 3hr nap! :( I woke up to a super cranky me. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I was susceptible to things I read on facebook and text received... stayed calm. Not sure if it was the nap or the hormones, but no harm done!

Getting ready to start on the 500calories today!

I sure hope that this works, cause I am chilling with my Elvear Blend Tea, feeling: famished!!

is this all there is for breakfast?
