A little unsure today

So I am down .5 lb today. but unsure if I am losing less because of my choices.
I made Chocolate delight from a HCG recipe. Not sure if it is for P2, yet is says it is. It has coconut oil in it.
I put about a Tbs crumbled over my strawberries and I did have the tiniest of tastes of frosting of my BF B-Day cake. I also used panko bread crumbs on the fish. Yet I took most of it off when I ate it.

I shouldn't second guess myself and just get on with it...a loss is a loss. I didn't gain.
:)

Today's plan:

• 1/2 grapefruit
• 3 oz cooked fish, over steamed cabbage
• hamburger lettuce wrap w/tomato.

P2D12 released 0.5 lb

So I guess eating the chicken cooked on the bone w/skin slowed my release. I took it off the bone and removed the skin, but I think there was still too much fat on it. I usally only eat boneless, skinless chicken breast. So today I need to be sure to drink ALL my water and really stick to it. I am never sure exactly how much veggies I am supposed to eat. ie: 1 cup cooked chard or 1 cut raw then cook?  I get the fruit, I have no problem with that. but P&I is so vague on the veggie serving size. A Handfull is not a measurement.

Still, it is a loss. so GO ME! down 13 lbs from the first VLCD day. I am loving the ease of this protocol.
Still hard to want to cook a huge meal for my BF when I am not eating any of it.  But I am. And staying on track.
Today's plan:

• Brkfst: 1 apple sliced w/a tad of sea salt, coffee
• Lunch: 3.5 oz shrimp cooked w/chard & tomato
• Dinner: 3.5 oz Hake fish, sauted w/ spinach, strawberries w/stevia

Happy Labor day. P2D11 - Released 1.5 lbs

Was afraid that I didn't drink enough water yesterday, but still released 1.5 lbs. woke up with a horrible headache. drinking lots of water today.
Went looking for Grass fed beef today...hard to find in reg. grocery.
kind of pricey. I did get some in ground beef, only 6% fat, also bought organic apples, grapefruit, chard and wild catfish and hake.
All of it is now neatly packaged in 3.5 oz servings in the freezer.  Also made meatballs from HCG recipe.
Tonight made chicken legs for dinner, took the skin off and weighed out 3 oz. hopefully they were not too fatty to affect releases tomorrow.
Today's menu:

• brkfst: baked apple, coffee
• Lunch: creamed chicken soup *HCG recipe
• Dinner: chicken leg, swiss chard, baked apple

P2D10 0.5 lb release

It is funny to say I am thrilled at a half pound loss. But yesterday was my nephews wedding, and I still released .5 of a lb!  I prepared well, ate lunch as usual, I did skip my fruit servings for the day.
Steared clear of the bread basket and pushed the potatoes off to the side and skipped them. Ate what I thought was just a bit over 4 oz of beef and the asparagus. And skipped eating ANY cake, even though it was red velvet cake which I LOVE.   I am so proud of myself!
I also skipped a dose of HCG yesterday morning as I have decided Saturday will be my skip day. (it is recommended for injections to skip one day a week to avoid immunity)

P2D8 - Released 1.5lbs Total of 9.5 lbs released! woo hoo!

Happy Friday Morning. I am LOVING this protocol!!! I was a little hungry this morning. I think I did a bit more walking around yesterday at work. I have not been eating the allowed melba toast yet. Today I got some and I am going to try it with my tomato "soup" at lunch. I am hoping this will not slow my current releases. if it does, I will go back to leaving it out.

Today's Plan:

• Brkfst - coffee, 1/2 grapefruit w/stevia
• Lunch - tomato "soup", grilled chicken, melba toast
• Dinner - spicy beef over lettuce.

P2D7 (day 6 VLCD) I am Down 1.0 lb! Woot

Down another pound woo hoo!  this makes 8 lbs so far.

Got up early today to make sure I had time to prepare my lunch. I was worried yesterday about eating in the cafe' but I found a nice salad bar and got romain lettuce and the grill made me a nice little peice of grilled chicken. It was probably 4 oz rather than the 3. But I have not been eating the melba toast allowed. So I figured it would all work out.  (and from the release I would say I guessed right)

Today's plan:

• Brkfst: 1/2 grapefruit w/Stevia.
• Lunch: grilled steak marinated in liquid aminos, asparagus grilled w/lemon juice
• Dinner: Tomato "soup" with grilled chicken and a baked apple.

Yesterday on the way home I stopped at a farmer's market and got the most beautiful apples, grapefruits, and asparagus! I bought Bananas and a nice Banana bread for my sons.  Can't wait for lunch!

P2D6 Down .5 lb

So I thought I would lose at least a 1lb a day. but .5 is better than nothing.
I am drinking so much water I am getting up 3x a night for bathroom breaks.
This morning a little hungry, ate 1/2 my apple.
Today's challenge I didn't bring my lunch to work. So I have to brave the cafeteria
I am hoping for a nice peice of grilled chicken I can put over some lettuce or raw spinach.
