R1P2: Day 19 of VLCD

Somehow I mixed up the days. hmm. It really is day 19.

Weight: 264.8 lbs (It was nice to see another number besides 266.:P)
Loss of: 1.4 lbs
Total Loss: 19 lbs

So something is going on with my body here it seems to 'hold weight' for a day then dump. At least in the last several days I have had more then a pound of loss. I'm good. heh.

I had a scare. I ran out of HCG on Saturday morning, but luckly the refill was waiting for me up on our way to the bbq. nice.

I'm happy for the loss.

If I can, I have decided not to quite before Thanksgiving. I have not been a big fan of thanksgiving really. Lots of food and that seems to always be the American focus. Food food food. You see it everywhere and it's being pushed, and being overweight makes me want to say ENOUGH! I hate holidays that seem surrounded by food. It's always about the meals. I guess most people could eat normal, but do we? hmmmm. It seems like we waste ourselves all year to lose 5-10 lbs so we can eat like little piggies on these special occations. Why do our 'good food habits' seem to Nationally go out the window. And if you choose to lighten up a little, your ruining traditon, or your being a spoiled sport. I hear about it in a lot of families that have a person dieting. I have heard of so many daughters being sabotaged by their mothers for some reason. Don't your want your daughters to grow up to be cowboys? oops. wrong rant. hehe. Er. I mean, healthy? heh. The sins of the mother's (and I bet some fathers) should not rest on the shoulders of the daughters. I remember reading about one lady that got all hell from her mother for trying to loss weight. LIke lossing weight was rejecting the family. :S

Luckily I have very supportive sides of the family. So far everyone has been very nice and helpful. I got to eat with my parents tonight and had to explain to my mom several times that 'no, I can't eat beans, no not that either. um, only 3.5oz of that." They want to buy some lean meat at the store for next time. They are supportive but still a little hazy on the exactness of it. My dad went through some fruit selections. I'm like, nope just the 4. They were so proud of me.

It was funny. I told my mother in law that I don't eat cucumber really because for the weight and size of what you get it looks unfilling. Tonight I tried the cucumber salad with my fish. FILLING! I'm going to have to grab a couple cucumbers I gave back to her today. I made a KILLER cucumber salad. I simply used vinegar (it was one flavored with herbs and nothing else), lots of dill and some mustard powder! YUM! I almost forgot about it because it was in a bowl
OH! hehe. So my mom had these big dinner plates set out, I grabbed mine and traded it for a small lunch plate. It does make a difference. It helps make the eyes get appeased. :D I think I will make the cucumber again with fish. They seem to go well. My dad sliced them w/ a mandaline VERY thin. I could also make shreds I bet.

Had a tuna salad for lunch- yummy. again mixed with some vinegar, dill and some other spice.. not sure what it was again. hmmm.

Well, off to watch a show with the husband I think, but I'm in the mood to cuddle up with my grapefruit and a book in bed. LOL

anyone notice if they have problems eating right before bed? I like the snack and I don't get hungry by bedtime.
