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?

Binging on sugar and fat!

Yesterday I woke up super crazy nervous about injecting myself with something! I hadn't seen the needle, of course, and was anxious. I decided that since everything after yoga seems better, I was going to go do some... to come home and find that my buddy had already pinched herself. Pinched because, when I saw this miniscule needle...I would't even call it a pinch!

And the food marathon started!! I had cake and sweets, then coffee and milk, then Birthday Party extravaganza, brownies, polvorones, sandwiches de mezcla and sangria, oh! and hamburgers... I never felt neither hungry or full.

mood: child induced happiness

temperature: hot

events: recital, birthday, babysitting

water: low

Days before...

Well...

This has all been crazy from the beginning, one tuesday afternoon my neighbor needed butter, so she came by to borrow, as she is storing out... she asks "I need support and company, wanna go on a diet with me? you lose a pound a day!" and just as fast she was gone!

"What?" I said

Next day she calls and she has already made an appointment with her doctor IN PONCE!!!!

Well... without any thought, really ANY thought I head out to PONCE...

The experience was great, the response and support was super friendly, so HERE WE GO!

After two hours of, this is what you are going to eat, this is what you are not to do... and every detail that goes with a supervised diet... I was back home to San Juan with all the shots!!

Saturday(Today) is the day to start!

I am supposed to eat everything that comes my way, tons of fat!!! tons of sugar!!! Tons of tons!!!

So soon to come the details of my first day on the HCG Diet!
