Day 17 VLCD - TOM is a No Show

I'm certainly not surprised. I'm sure the HCG has thrown everything for a loop. I was one of those whose HCG arrived just after my TOM so, I suppose my body has to deal with the new hormone flood in its own way. I'm still wanting it to make it's appearance so I can be done with it already. I'm wondering if it will make it's appearance on my skip day (Tuesday)...

Hubby picked up lovely rotisserie chicken from the store. I pulled the skinned and weighed "down" from the raw. It was delish! I had lovely Frank's hot sauce for dipping. It's amazing how spices can help your meal.

Observation: Spices and herbs taste so much better during the low calorie portion of the protocol. Even if you've used them in the past, they have so much more zing.

I had a .6 pound loss today. Still losing despite TOM being late...woohoo!

Here's what I had:

March 14th, 2010

Calorie goal: 1,107; calories consumed: 463; calories burned: 0 Net calories: 463
Mood: Okay

Didn't drink my full 80 ounces, but got through the day pretty well. TOM did not appear so, I'll keep up with the injections until it does. My skip day is on Tuesday. How ironic would it be if it showed up that day?

The rotisserie chicken was from the store. I pulled off the skin and weighed it with the new, digital scale I bought this weekend. So yummy with the hot sauce. I'm a very happy girl, right now. Will remember to have L-Glutamine a couple of hours before dinner. It really makes a difference. [edit this diary entry]

You're almost in the 60s!!! Way to go!
I have to agree, spices, things like pickles, stewed tomatoes with oregano and Mrs Dash Onion & Herb, make me just about swoon - the flavors are so rich!
My TOM is late too - I received, and started my HCG the day after my last one ended too, and so far nothing. I'm not complaining though!
