Back On

Okay...so here is my biggest complaint so far...


It's REALLY not a convenient diet to be on when you have plans or need to go somewhere. It's actually annoying and almost makes you want to quit because it's just a hassle.


So NYE I had plans with the girls in New York. I went to get all of my stuff to take: food; already measured, drops, water...


Then was thinking about it, we were all "going out to eat" - and I'm like so I'm just going to rush to eat before we leave, and then sit there while they eat and drink a water? That's stupid...


So since it was NYE and I was already going to drink a bit. I figured I would just take a small break. I had a salad and a diet soda. Not bad! I drank vodka and sugarless redbull (lowest amount of calories I found/no sugar) I found...


Yesterday I didn't get home until about 3pm so I honestly didn't eat much yesterday because I wasn't hungry. I ate 2 eggs, some OJ and then had cereal for lunch.


TODAY - back on track! I'm annoyed that I got off the plan a bit but at the same time less annoyed then I was thinking about how in the way it would be if I carted all my stuff out.

Feeling Good...

So yesterday (Day 2 Phase 2) went well!

Lunch - the same as dinner the night before! I can honestly eat steak at any point during the day, except maybe breakfast.

Dinner - Shrimp, tomatoes and 2 grissini bread sticks.



I didn't have any headaches. I was a bit hungry between lunch and dinner - but realized that I probably ate lunch a little earlier then I should have. After dinner snack I made my Apple Bake - and it was aaamazing.


I have no scale at home so I can't talk about how much weight I have or have not lost. I will be getting one soon. Me doing this isn't really about a number loss to me. It's more about how I feel and how I look. 


I see more curve on my sides then I did when I started and feel a bit thinner around my waist. But I have a very long torso - seriously my belly button is in the MIDDLE of my stomach. So the area I am looking forward to seeing an improvement on is what everyone calls "the mom pooch." 


So here is to another day!
Took my morning drops - and I'm READY for the NEW YEAR!


What are your NYE plans? How are you ringing it in?

Day 2 Phase 2

So last night was good!
I grilled up some sirloin steak with garlic and dill weed (all sugarless).

DINNER - 3.5 oz of steak, 1 whole raw tomato (I LOVE them), 2 pieces of Melba toast and then after I treated myself to my Strawberry & Lemon Slush (photo under Meals & Recipes)

Took a couple advil - my headache wouldn't go away.

The slush was the best part of the day, I love getting creative like that! Can't wait to see what else I come up with!

SO ---- Day 2 Phase 2 ----

BREAKFAST - 10 drops under tongue and water. I need to buy coffee so I have it. I can't stand tea so that is out of the question.

I have a headache again, but my house is really dry...and I often wake up with a headache so I'm going to take some more advil and see what happens. I'm not hungry at all :)

Weird...but good! STARVING to not so much!

So I left my drops - I've had a KILLER HEADACHE since about 2pm. And my stomach is fluent in some language that is unknown to me...


Came home and as suggested I took the missed dose of drops - right away. Can you seriously believe my stomach has now forgotten how to speak?


I can't say I'm not hungry because I know I am - but I'm not like FEED ME!! FEED ME!! - just wanted to share!


I'm posting photos of my dinner later or tomorrow!
Found some amazing simple dishes that I can't wait to try out!

Day 3 - I could cry!

SO mad at myself! I left my drops at HOME!
So I took the first 10 this morning at like 5am - ate an apple (because I forgot to buy coffee)...

I still ate the correct lunch 3.5 oz of Tuna and 2 cups of Tomatoes. I'm drinking water like a fish...

I will just take the drops as soon as I get home. Then wait 2 hours. Take more and then wait the half hour to eat....

Geeez. I created more work for myself.

I have noticed that I am NOT really hungry when I take the drops correctly. I seriously had to force feed myself on those 2 pig out days.

I wasn't hungry until about noon when I ate lunch. Now I'm noticing I feel hungry :( I'm drinking lots of water, so I hope it keeps me full until tonight!
