DAY 38-40 ... Phase 3 COMPLETE & goal ACHIEVED

The past three days (Phase 3) have been a continuation of the 500 calorie per day diet with no fat, carbs. sugars, taste, joy, happiness...oops...I mean, with restrictions! BUT, the results have been amazing. Day 38 I definitely pigged out a bit...I felt stuffed after both meals...and the weight gain was impressive: 1.5lbs. Well, with tear in eye, the motivation with also impressive to not be so weak! AND, the next two days saw 3.5lbs in weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, I was also a bit blocked up on day 38, but by day 39, the pipes were flowing like the Amazon Delta! Peeps, I reached my freakin' goal of ...

... 35lbs in weight loss!

I have to admit that I also caved in last night! After having to collect Jacquie on some random street corner about 9 o'clock last night after finally leaving work after a very long day (including completing a worker's comp audit...fun), we had to go collect her car from a towing yard! Yep, Jacque's was not a happy girl!!! And Kaluha chocolate was her saviour!!!! Pinot Grigio, my long lost friend, was my saviour!!!! After two small glasses, I was trashed!!!! People, cheap date here...get it whilst you can! I would have thought the Pinot would have added poundage, although my food calorie intake yesterday was very low (salad for dinner, and cabbage for lunch...woohoo).

Another amazing thing happened yesterday...vacation booked, baby!!! And a huge thanks to Hutchie for organizing the whole thing: Aboard the Connie from Amsterdam to Copenhagen to Berlin to Estonia to St. Petersburg to Helsinki to Stockholm and back to Amsterdam, with of course a quickie in London for a few days! Sorry Bryan, leaving in 10 days for a couple of weeks...try not to burn the gym down (although...heehee)! Now, the tricky-dickie part of this is to make sure my ass goes to the gym everyday while aboard, not to overeat, certainly not to over-drink, and to relax!!!! And, the weight should be steady!

Phase 4 starts today...no sugars or carbs for three more weeks!!!!! And for the record, I'm considering wine a fruit, not a sugar...sorta!

DAY 36 & 37 ... Phase Two COMPLETE!

Well, the 5-week, Phase Two part of the diet is now complete! I didn't quite reach my goal, but still lost a whopping 33 lbs!!! The next three days are pretty much the same as phase two except not taking any supplements nor hormone, but still on a 500 calorie diet...the hormone needs to work itself completely out of the system before resuming a normal caloric intake. Of course, by 11 this morning I was ravenous without the appetite suppressant...It'll be just fine though since it's only three days!

Phase 4 starts Thursday in which I must eat 3 meals and 3 snacks per day...of course there's a catch: no sugar or carbs for at least 3 weeks! Sheesh...there goes the pig-out on pizza!

So, I'm hoping to drop at least a lb in the next three weigh-ins! And, who knows, maybe even get to goal weight loss...wouldn't that be exciting!

DAY 34 & 35 ... Pancake Day

Well, day 34 saw an additional .5 loss and today, day 35, saw another 1lb loss, for a total thus far of 31.5lbs (and I didn't even have a bowl movement today...sorry TMI)!!!! And some blind bastard called me skinny today! lol...well, maybe in comparison to my fat 31.5+lbs ago! It is apparent, however, that my ass is indeed as flat as a pancake, but not quite skinny!

It's definitely time to go clothes shopping...most of my clothes are drowning me and starting to look a little ridiculous; I still look fabulous though, of course! Clearly! So anyone want to go on a spree, do let me know! We'll make a day or weekend of it! And the beauty is, I'm not drinking alcohol, so there will be no crazy, pinot-eyed purchases! ;)

Only a few days left on the diet, and while I know now that I could easy do another week to complete a 6 week program, I really am quite tired of it at this point. The weight loss has been spectacular, and I am ready to start exercising and firming up what's left! While I know 15lb more would be just fine, I'm also eager to taste cheese again! lol! Nice, burnt, crispy, drizzly cheese! Besides, I still have 3 more weeks of no carbs or sugar after I've stopped the hormone...still far off from a normal person!

DAY 33 ... A Chunky MILESTONE!

On the 30th day of the diet phase of the hCG program, I am so pleased to announce I have lost 30 lbs! It's official: I am no longer obese, just fat! WooHoo!!!! And what's so amazing for me is that I am finally back in the 180's (I know it's still chunky monkey, but it's definitely an improvement)! A  A A A N N N D D D D... according to Dr. Oz, with every 30lbs of weight loss, your dick looks an inch bigger! Thank you, {snap-click}!

It's a short blog, but really, what else can top 30lbs and an inch more!
