Day 17 VLCD

Full day of cooking here, making chicken meatballs, marinating breasts in bbq sauce and curry stock! Tomorrow it's slow cooker for chicken stock! Made delish cabbage n onion, sweetened with stevia and spiced with curry n mustard! Last but not least, some more CD! I do hope to buckle down tomorrow and get some more recipe's up here, I've been making a kitchen friendly batch of recipe's on index cards... aka 'laminated cards!' I'm also pleased to announce: New Capella drops showed up making it Christmas in June for this kitchen! I'll be whipping up some more cheesecake tomorrow as well and trying my hand at some fresh strawberry jello made with Knot's gelatin... I'll report back later, for now it's off to a hot detox bath, some ebay with the phone for more findings, and planning my route of attack for tomorrow's yard sales! Happy releases and the sweetest  of dreams!

Day 16 VLCD

Ahh... Day two of reload, not much to say at this point other than I feel FULL! I will be just fine if I never endure another load day in my life! It's amazing to look back on our lives and know that this was a norm at one point or another... I remember eating an entire foot long from subway all to myself, drinking out of the two liter and finishing one myself in less than a day... sadly there were also those times that I polished off an entire box of doughnuts... days that my fuel was a mere 6 latte's and nothing more... Cigarettes were a norm, late night studying and early morning classes. It is no wonder my body is in the shape she was... I am changed from this journey and looking back all I can say is THANK GOD there was a path for me to take towards a healthy me... a far different path from the one I knew so well. There was a day I looked in the mirror and saw my step mother's body staring back at me. I was in sheer terror, I became obsessed, depressed and lost hope at ever letting free the beautiful me. It is only once you have felt that terror that you can truly understand the miracle that is HCG. I had heard a woman once explain to me how her weight affected her life. I felt empathy however true understanding was not possible, until the day I felt the sheer ton of my 'weight' bearing down on me. It is true there is much to change besides the food, there is an emotional component that needs addressing. I do hope that if you are on such a life changing journey as I am, that you find some spiritual and or emotional guidance, counseling, or support, which ever it may be that works for your 'self change' please find it... keep searching till it's 'right' and once you have it, never let it go! You are worth it! Many blessings, sweet dreams, and happy releases!

Day 15 VLCD

It's been decided... I am reloading today! Not much of a reason to celebrate however I am looking forward to getting my body back on track. It would seem there are times that a mid cycle reload is appropriate and I for one am not arguing with the results! I will be busy stuffing myself all day and cringing at the thought of tomorrow's weigh in. However, true to form, the 'loading' weight is most always gone withing two to three days and to rid myself of this insatiable appetite and balance my nutrients, kick out Tom... well that alone is a great reason! Happy releases everyone!
