Today is Sunday, July 3rd and I am doing my first Correction Day (CD) of Phase 4. I had to do 1 CD in Phase 3. I did the greek yogurt and berries CD last time & I dropped 2.4 pounds. I LOVE Greek yogurt and berries, so I am doing the same CD today. Last time I used strawberries. Today I am using blueberries that I bought at the Riverfront Market yesterday! They are delicious!
Phase 3 went very well for me. As I stated earlier, I only had to do 1 CD in Phase 3. I was 2 weeks into Phase 3. I went to eat at Qdoba and though I ordered nothing starchy (no tortilla, no rice, no beans), I gained the next day. I suspected that the tomato-based Ranchero sauce may have had sugar in it...not sure though.
It stinks that I have to do a CD today because we are celebrating my aunt's birthday. However, I can't complain too much! I am totally thrilled with the fact that I have lost 30 pounds and have done well to maintain that loss for the past month!
I am certain that I attempted to eat too many starchy things in the past few days. We went out to eat on Friday and I had some french fries w/cheese, bbq beef & bbq sauce on them (after I had had some beans for lunch) and I had cherry cheesecake for dessert. I didn't gain the next day (yesterday) but I didn't eat completely clean yesterday as I should have to counteract what I ate the day before. Yesterday, I had 2 Dove chocolates and beans again for dinner. I should have avoided starch & sugar (clean eating) yesterday and I might have been ok today. Lesson learned.
So, Amy & I are looking at starting Phase 2 at the end of July/beginning of August. We have another friend who is going to do the Protocol with us and I think my aunt may also. I think I should become a distributor for hHCG! :) After all, I am a walking testimony of the wonderful results that can be obtained from the Protocol!
I would like to lose enough weight that I will be in ONEderland (under 200 lbs.) by the time I finish Round 2 of Phase 2. It will depend on how much weight I gain when I load (the first 2 days on hHCG), when I begin TOM (which will determine when I begin hHCG) and how long I will be on Phase 2. I would like to be on Phase 2 for the maximum of 40 days, but that will also depend on when I begin. I have a trip planned for Labor Day weekend (and would like to plan a mini vacation with my family the week before that). I may just end up doing a planned interuption within that time frame and that way I can complete 40 days on hHCG. We'll see.
For the next round, I figure that I will be okay if I have to do Phase 2 during Thanksgiving, but I definitely want to be in Phase 4 by Christmas. At that point, I should be able to assess how many more rounds I will have to do. Likely 1 or 2, depending on my losses.
I can't tell you how happy I am that I have FINALLY found a way to lose weight & keep it off FOR GOOD!!! I had pretty much given up on the idea altogether before I found HCG! I felt hopeless! And now here I am...losing weight, keeping it off and excited to reach my GOAL!
