I WON MY RACE! I WON I WON I WON! My first time out on Money, and he SMOKED the barrels. I can't believe I won. My first race he got 2nd place, second race he was 1st place. That was two days ago and I am still on a high about that. That should really keep me motivated to lose the weight!!!
HCG day 4- I feel fine, no really tough hunger so far. I've been taking the drops 3x a day, and as long as I get my apple around 10:30 or 11, and the rest of lunch follows shortly after, I do fine. The hunger that I do get is actual hunger, as in- tummy-rumbling-a-little, and feeling kinda hungry for whatever, and tolerable with the food I am allowed. It's important to note that it's NOT the cravings that I was getting pre-diet, the super-strong, drive-you-to-the-store-for-chocolate type of cravings that were controlling my life. THOSE cravings make you want a specific sugar/carb/fat type of food. Real hunger just makes you hungry for something, and is easily satisfied by an apple, a protein, a veggie, or a melba toast. Usually a green tea or ice water does the trick just fine.
I am finding it tolerable to stay on the 500 vlcd. Even when hubby has something sweet, or salty, or lasagna, or whatever. A couple of times I have thought about a Caramel Apple, because of the time of year...but nothing that powerful. Seems like these drops work much better than the last ones I tried.
I was surprised at how good the steak that Naden barbequed was! I actually thought 100g was plenty, and the Walden Farms BBQ sauce was great with it. I had that and some salad with the Walden Farms salad dressing. I love the Cesar. The Honey Mustard is good. I am so happy to have these as tools.
Weight loss is awesome. Really, since my high point at loading, I am down 10 lbs with my fourth day of actual HCG dieting. That's good. Especially when I keep picturing me, a skinny, light-weight me, running barrels next spring on a big, gorgeous, super-fast Money. We want to WIN WIN WIN!!! I give it all to God, because He loves me so much to help me see my dreams (dreams He gave me,) through to reality.
