As each day passes, it's getting easier and easier to eat the restricted diet. Don't get me wrong, I am hoping and praying that phase 3 comes fast, because I'd rather eat to maintain. It's just been easier to not be as tempted.
So today I hopped on the scale and it shows 319.6! That's an exact 20 lbs loss. I was going to wait until Friday to blog again, but I felt like this was a milestone that should be visually celebrated.
I will put up my before and afters once I finish the full 6 weeks on restricted. That should be around August 16th.
I made my own version of a apple/strawberry pie last night. It wasn't bad but could have used some Stevia. I'm not allowing stevia at this point to try and lower my blood sugars.
1 gala apple
9-10 med strawberries
dash of nutmeg (I would reduce or cut this out. It was a little overpowering)
dash of cinnamon
2 crushed up melba toasts
Bake at 375 for 25-30 mins and serve.
2014 Goal (100 lb loss)

almost 2 weeks
Hello all,
I am following up to document my progress. I am almost 2 weeks in (3 days shy) and here are my stats.
I started at 339.6 I am now 322.8 which is a loss of 16.8 lbs.
I have found that salad with no dressing is terrible and almost made me quit this whole thing 5 days ago. I refocused on the foods I can have that I do like and I'm doing much better. Surprising things have happened this week with my body, they are TMI so I won't go into details but seems that my chemicals maybe balancing themselves.
I am finding that I'm a little more focused and not so irratable this week. I also feel that I have the drive to see this thing through the end (August 16th or so). I've become a little taste snob as far as "spicing" it up so that it's not bland and boring meats each day.
AND... anyone that knows me, knows I HATE fish unless it's breaded, deep fried and a bucket o tartar sauce. Well last night I bought some tilapia to throw on the grill this weekend. Thinking squeeze fresh lemon and some herb seasonings. We'll see how it pans out, I may have to try it outside because I HATE the smell of fish!!!!
We went to the movies last weekend and all I had was water. I was so depressed and even cried when I got home. I miss popcorn the most. It's made me realize how much of a food addict I really am. So I decided that in the next phase I will allow myself popcorn once a month. Not at every movie, every week, etc... once a month. I have my husband who is going to hold me to it even though I know I can do this.
Well enough rambling for today... on my way and feeling great!

Starting the Omnitrition plan
With my busy schedule and my need to drop lbs... I've done some research. With my doctors recommendations as well I finally decided to try out Omni drops. If you so choose to research them yourself, www.omnitrition.com/annabfit is my connection. Because HCG is so controversial, I want to start by stating: I've heard it all, said it all myself, and after much research have decided to do a round. Everyone has their own paths. Some maybe more drastic then others. This is pretty drastic in it's restrictions, but they do have you do a maintenance period where you work closely with your counselor and eat normal healthy portions. So I'm going to blog, not sure if I'll end up posting the link on FB until I'm farther along, or maybe not at all. I felt I should journal though to keep me on track.
So Saturday and Sunday were what I like to call "fattening" days but they call it loading days. It's been so hot that I probably didn't eat as much as I should have. I was supposed to remain full the 2 days. I was supposed to gain weight. I lost weight the first day and gained the second, so I broke even. All the while starting the drops.
Today is GROUND 0. It's where you follow the eating regimen, continue the drops, and drink drink drink water.
Current weight: 339.2 (ugh, so mad that I even am back up to this weight)
Food consumed:
1 navel orange
4 oz. Chicken breast
2 cups romaine salad (no dressing)
4 oz. Chicken breast seasoned with salt free garlic and herb
4 oz. Asparagus also seasoned
2 dashes of sea salt
1 gala apple
Water: goal 1 gallon
How do I feel? Well I have to pee, A LOT!!! but I know once my body is used to that then I will be ok. I am not hungry, and because I was so sick off all the junk food over the weekend, I rather enjoyed my meals today. My mood has been antsy only because I've been off work 5 days now and go back tomorrow. I've prepped enough meats to last the next 4-5 days and will shortly be fixing quick grab exact serving size veggie packs. No excuses.
