Tossing Around Eight Tenths of a Pound
VLCD Days 16 and 17
Weight 5.3.08: 231.8 gain of 0.8lbs :(
Weight 5.4.08: 231.0 loss of that same 0.8lbs!
Total 17-day loss: 19.8lbs (just as it was on Friday, harumph)
I'm so close to the 220's! I feel a bit Sisyphus-ian this weekend.
Ahh, so, not much progress made the last couple of days. There are myriad reasons for this, some of them not entirely under my control. I am busy, and getting to bed before midnight is a mere fantasy for me these days. I know an early night helps the HCG to be even more effective, so there's one strike against me. At work, I can't help but encounter the odd plate or bowl with oil on it, and though I wash and wipe my hands constantly, I am sure I've absorbed some. I try to drink enough water throughout my shifts, but that's not always happening very responsibly on my part. Lastly, some pretty strong cramps this evening tell me that TOM is on its way. I'm debating whether to inject right through my period or to stop the way Simeons instructs. Part of me wants to soldier on, and doesn't want to endure 3 or 4 days without HCG. My hunger was just starting to abate! Then again, I don't want to mess up my cycle and have the HCG draw things out even more or make my weight fluctuate too much. I'm going to play it by ear.
I did a 'protein day' day today, and ate only allowed protein sources, three portions instead of two (egg whites, shrimp and chicken). I'm hoping that it will boost me a bit. Truth be told, I was just too lazy (or tired) to prepare all that veg. We'll see what results will be in store for me in the morning!
