R4, P2, VLCD 21 - Home Again (1.2lb Gain)

I can't believe how little I gained. Truly! I was eating out everyday and unable to weigh food. I had no control over the oils and I couldn't be nit-picky about the dishes I chose. I also had $18.00 worth of sugar free candy I was devouring nightly. To see only a slight gain is awesome! Not only that, I'm not on my injections right now; TOM arrived Saturday morning. I am stoked! It really could have been worse. (A friend's brother-in-law, also doing HCG, went on a drinking binge for one night and gained 9 pounds. That's crazy! I eat chocolate covered raisins, cherries and mints and see a "baby" gain. I'd say I got the sweeter end of the cheat).

Our trip was wonderful! The area was quaint, the townsfolk kind and the lava hot pools to-die-for! We will be back again, later this year (we've decided to take our children). The owners of the inn where we stayed even allowed us over to their home to see their Alpacas. Too fun!

The heaviest of TOM is about over, so I will resume my injections tomorrow. The crazy thing is that I only have two left. Then, I have my three days on the diet without injections. I can't believe it's here! I'll enjoy Memorial day with an all out protein fest. I'm thrilled! To end the week, hubby found discount crab legs. I had those for dinner tonight and will have the rest tomorrow night. Here are today's totals:

I was 164.8lbs this morning. I drank my water like a good girl today, along with several cups of tea and coffee. I'll have one more cup of tea before bed. Thursday, I have to work in town. I'm thinking I'll find a Mongolian place so as not to subject myself to the carb-fat filled buffet they'll have available for us. Thank goodness they're giving us more than an hour to eat, so I can sneak away. Saturday (the first day of P3), I'm going Indian chicken crazy at my local Chinese place. I've been missing you, chicken. My low-carb "forever" life is soon to begin.
