Round 1 Phase 2 VLCD 1

Hello friends, today is VLCD 1 for me in this round. I loaded over the weekend and gained 2.5 lbs. I started VLCD worrying that I had not loaded enough, but I made it through the day with no hunger issues. I stayed within my calories. I am trying the 800 calorie protocol this round. Today I did not eat my entire 800 calories.

 I have a long road in front of me. I have gained the weight that I had lost back and have to start all over again. I keep reminding myself that I did it once, I can do it again. It is very stressful knowing that all of my hard work has been undone.The first thing that I had to realize that I needed to get my  mind and my emotions together because they played a major part in my weight issues. I have reached a point where I have decided to let go and let god. I vlogged this weekend which was very good for me. There is nothing like seeing yourself in pictures and videos to remind you to stay on track. During this process I will continue to do videos because they are good for me. They help me to stay on track. As I mentioned in my vlog I cannot promise that I will be able to stay 100% on protocol, or that I will never cheat. I can promise that I will give this my all. The last time I was on HCG the one thing that I learned was that if I get weak and cheat, beating myself up does not help. The only thing that does help is to get right back in gear and

I went grocery shopping today and loaded up on the vegetables that I am allowed. I have replaced the crackers and Twizzlers that were in my desk and replaced them with vegetables in my lunch box. One of my coworkers, the one that I spend the most time with, is also on a diet. She is not in doing Hcg like I am. She visited a nutritionist and he has her on a diet,  she is doing very well on it. We do lunch together everyday, so it will be easier for us to keep each other on track. I know, at least for me when you go out with your friends and they are eating all of the things that you have had to give up, it is sooo hard.

This weekend for the first time in a long time I walked in the park. I usually stay closer to home, which allows me to quit too easily. I  have to make sure to get in my half hour at least everyday.I also want to try to build on my exercising. has never really been my thing, which is why Hcg is sooo great to me, it requires little or no exercise .Exercising It has been so much rain in New Jersey lately, it has been too hard to try to exercise outdoors.

Well anyway today was my VLCD 1 and I just wanted to check in. Talk to you tomorrow after I weigh in.
