Day 14 VLCD

True to form, no ripping of the hairs last night and down .9 to 166.3! I am looking forward to the 165 I hope tomorrow will bring... I have been contemplating a 'load' day. It is thought that when you are continuously hungry you have not done your load properly and at that point it is acceptable to do another 'mini' load at the 20 day mark... I am not sure as to if this is the 20th day of vlcd or day 20 from start of HCG. I will have to ask the doctor tomorrow. Even my dreams are filled with peanut butter, brownies, sushi, won ton's, pizza, and glorious almonds and walnuts! Lol... don't be fooled by my choices of food, they are all appearing in p3 form! I love my losses, and as close as I am, I encourage everyone to seek for the most pleasant of journey. This is not a road of torture and we all need support to make this trip. I have a wonderful support system and it has made all the difference. As I explore amazing new recipe's and find new ways to 'spice it up', I also have to listen to my body as you do to yours. Having my cycle continue for the length of weeks brings to concern other health concerns of iron levels. Without trying to self correct these topics on my own, I do enjoy the blessing of an amazing nurse and ANP. Find your supports, find you comfy walking shoes and remember as you traverse this journey, no one is an island! Sleep well and happy releases!

Day 13 VLCD Taking inventory

Hmm... doing some reflections, as I'm up .3 today... Sleep was good, the over indulgence of CD was present however, no reason to have an increase... I have pretty much narrowed it down to my epilady ritual! Every night that I have ripped the hairs out of my lovely legs, the following day I'm up just a tad and then a nice drop! So... after looking at the prep wipes that came with the shaver, I noticed some not such nice ingredients and will forever be leaving out the 'prep' wipe! It's amazing how sensitive our bodies are on HCG, and the importance of journals and tracking of activities and food choices is imperative to our success... If you haven't been doing so, start a journal on your journey. Everything is relative. Mood, activity, sleep, diet, all play a part in this journey and being able to 'look' at your past will help you plan for a successful future! I haven't had any southern movement in a few days so it's time for some 'moving tea' and hopefully that will clean out the pipes! I got quite a bit done in the house today, some beautiful bead pieces done, and am off to run a few errands! Take care and Happy releases!
