DAY 6: 158.8 lbs.
Okay, have NO idea the deal here. Had a lot of pain yesterday and had to take some extra strength Tylenol. I know the HCG protocol says to only use aspirin so maybe that's it? Or, my body may be getting ready to release another fat gusher! Definitely need some fat gone from above my knee caps, thighs, mid line, awwh-heck! Just all over. Must stay focused! Help,God!

DAY 4- 161.2 lbs.
DAY 4- 161.2 lbs
Whew! Can you believe that? Okay, because I know only certain ones will see this blog, I do believe a bit of this loss is attributed to a large BM I had just before weighing. Of course, not all of it, but it's amazing from the two load days, how much your body retains water from the high sodium content of Five Guys, Bacon Cheeseburger and fries, Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream, okay-I'll stop there.
Just before bed last night, I drank 2 large Chick-fil-A cups of water. Lots of water is so important on this diet. I'm gonna do the same thing tonight. Wow! I am believing for good consistent pound or more losses everyday so I can get to my goal a bit quicker. I really would like to be at my goal of 145lbs. by Thursday, March 31. That way, I'll be done before Resurrection weekend, continue on the VLCD and be off by Resurrection Sunday! Believe me, I will have a PHASE 3, almond/toasted macadamia nut crusted lemon/lime cheesecake awaiting me! Come on, come on-remain focused, Abigail! Keep your eyes on the satisfaction of crossing this finish line!

LAST ROUND!!
DAY 3: 166 lbs.
Okay, after loading the last 2 days (164lbs. on Saturday, forgot to weigh on Sunday) this morning I was not too happy about the weigh in!
Brief recap: I had some female surgery on Feb. 16th and have a 12 week recovery where I can't do any aerobic exercise or lift a gallon of milk! I did good the first couple weeks of recovery but the pain was so intense certain foods were comforting, I will admit. Aaah! Going into surgery weighing 155 and now today, a month later 11lbs.up! So tired of these inconsistencies! I really believe about 145 will be my finishing, final and desired weight. For me at a height of 5'10", this is a bit "under" the normal charts for where I should be at my age and height but where I believe will be comfortable for me. Still, though, we'll see. At 155, I was fine but still saw where I could lose some more unnecessary fat. Believing to stay focused. Trying some new soups, etc., to not get so bored. I cry out to the Lord to grant me His finishing power!
*FYI: For those reading, it is crucial to load with as many FATTENING foods as possible. This stokes the hypothalamus gland and is essential. If you do not do this, you could very likely be hungry the whole time you diet.

155.0 lbs.
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!!!

155.8 lbs.
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...
