Down 8lbs!!!!

I am soooo excited! I can't believe it's only day 4 and I've already dropped 8lbs. I really thought that it would be a hard adjustment to go from eating anything I wanted to only a few select things, but the weight loss is so motivating that I am happy to eat what I eat without complaint! Today the Munchkin and I are going to a family friend's to hang out and watch movies. I have no shame in bringing over my menu items with me of what I can eat for today. I will not be tempted by any offerings of pizza or wings or ice cream or cake! I will eat my baked apples and my grilled chicken breast and my sliced tomatoes very happily! I'm so proud of myself and ready to embrace the 180s by next week!

Round 2

After deciding that we were ready to expand our family, I didn't immediately begin my 2nd round of HCG. Instead we went to a fertility doctor and began the long process of Trying to Conceive (TTC). Like many things in life, TTC was not easy. After fertiltiy drugs and procedures, we finally conceived in December. Unfortunately we miscarriaged in January. After moving from Okinawa to New York, we decided to put TTC on hold. We plan on TTC again in July, so in the meantime, I figure that I can get a round of HCG in.

So here I am, on day 2 of VLCD and feeling satisfied. Life hasn't been easy lately, but at least this is something that I know I can depend on for results that I somewhat have control over. After having to accept that I am not in control of when we'll have a healthy baby, I figure this is something that I can do. I'm excited. Losing weight will help me with TTC, so this is really a win-win for me.

Day 3 - 201.2lbs ~ 3.6lbs down
