Okay-I really have no explanation for this. I always have had a big drop after I teach a spin class and drink all the water I have been drinking.

Need to say that this is my last day on HCG. Actually, yesterday was my last day taking it and today was weaning off, trying to stay pretty strict to the VLCD. The reason I have to come off is that I have to have some surgery and I can't be on any type of diet. I will need to prep with a 2 day, all liquid diet and then I will be recovering for 12 weeks! Yikes! I am very much wanting to adhere strictly to the 3rd phase (no sugars, no starches) as I will NOT be able to exercise-very weird for me...

Anyway, it's a good thing and I will have lots of time to come up with my phase 3 cookbook! I experimented today, with my wonderful, adorable, I'm so in love with hubby, on dark chocolate cherry cordials and almond butter nut cups (recipes found at elanaspantry.com). This chick is amazing with almond flour as a sub for any carbs and agave nectar in place of sugar! I used some of my non bitter stevia for these and a bit of agave nectar and they turned out awesome.

I will say I know I am suppose to be on the VLCD for 3 days after taking the HCG but I have been on it for so long I went ahead and ate some protein today not included on the VLCD. I am hoping and praying for no weight gain in the morning. I jumped on my trampoline today and did 3 sets of push ups and sit ups. Over a gallon of water today...We'll see...

I will blog one more time tomorrow to see my results from today and then I'll blog periodically throughout my recovery, attempting to keep up with recipe ideas, new inventions, etc. I do believe this is the thinnest I can remember seeing myself...Wahoo and Praise God!!!

Not happy at all with this. Taught spin tonight, did upper body weights and drank lots of water, sticking strictly to diet. Expect a HUGE loss tomorrow!

155.0 lbs.

Hmmm, let's hope this was a repeat of the weights thing at the gym. Want to see a big drop in the morning...didn't drink enough water today, I know...

155.0 lbs.

Really good to see an even 155. Let's keep it droppin'!

Sweet! Rockin' and Rollin'!
Celery (raw) has become my new found love. For some reason,I am just lovin' it. Crunchy and satisfying. Ok, I need to note that if you're out alot as I am, a Chick-fil-A grilled chicken breast and a large Diet Lemonade-2/3 Lemonade & 1/3 Unsweet Tea is like so great!Usually I'll bring a tupperware container of celery or sliced cukes in a little bag cooler so I won't be tempted to cheat.
Worked out with weights today and did 35 minutes cardio. Tried to drink alot of water. We'll see in the morning!

158.6 lbs.

Wahoo! Yes! Definitely big loss!
Was hungry today-probably will take a bit more hcg. Jumped on the trampoline and did good all the way until 9 pm when I was experimenting w/ a new Agave Nectar cookbook. So, I make my family brownies thinking I'll be able to resist them-didn't happen. I must go back to my rule of not baking until I'm off the VLCD. I am just getting ahead of myself wanting to experiment with all these phase 3 recipes but I am simply going to have to wait.

162.4 lbs.

Expecting a big loss tomorrow. Taught spin class tonight, lots of fluids, very strict on the diet. We'll see...
