R3 P2 day 27

I started this round all gung ho and excited to keep the blog up. I failed at that, mostly becuase I started going to school f/t 2 weeks ago and it's craziness as far as lack of time that I have for things like blogging.

This round has been very easy for me as far as no hunger, no problems. Especially with going to school, having the limited diet really helps me as far as having to prepare for lunch/dinner. Of course people at school look at me crazy when I eat the same thing every day, but you know - I'm not explaining a thing. :)

I eat alot of ground meat, like every day. I haven't eaten chicken or fish once this time around - hamburger and baked shrimp every day. I do great with just keeping with a couple things, and find that I don't get bored. I haven't eaten a grapefruit and strawberries only once. Apples every meal with an orange thrown in once in awhile. Cucumbers and tomatoes daily with asparagus thrown in once in awhile. Thankfully I am not one of those who needs to eat different things to feel fulfilled. I do look forward to things like a big loaded salad with every veggie I can throw into it - but for right now - I'm great with what I'm eating. I am seeing weight loss (almost) daily and know the end result is worth it. It will be more work when I am on P3 and have to PLAN my food. :)

I bought this little hamburger press thing that I found at Bed Bath & Beyond - I put in 3.5 oz of burger and press into a perfect hamburger patty - put it in a freezer bag and lay it flat in the freezer. Prior to school in the morning, I put it in a skillet (frozen) on medium heat - and before long I have a burger to throw in my lunch bag. This little gadget makes my life easier.

I started 8/24 at 165.6. This morning I was at 150.6. I have decided to try and see how long I can go on this round and see how much I can lose. So not stopping in 2 weeks (at 6 wks) and just going for another 2 and maybe another 2. I never follow anyone except the protocol but people on my hCG groups (yahoo) have done this with great success. I am hoping this is my last round, and if I could knock it out this time, that would be great. I'm not sure where I want to end up - every day is just a bonus - as I'm .6 away from where I wanted to be.

I have some new friends trying hCG and I'm thrilled for them. I'm a pretty good cheerleader, and I have them text me every day how they are doing. Keeps them supported and me motivated by them.

I'm going to blog more - it's important to remember how this went for me - and so far so good. I LOVE this hcg gig!
