Yeah! Hopefully Jon's plateau is broken. He lost 2.4 pounds but we'll see if he's good to go tomorrow! I lost .8 pounds. Not shabby.
Today was one of those days. You know a - nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I guess I'll go and eat worms - day. It's the circle of life. You go and go and do and do and when a hurt or a frustration comes along you either ignore it or stuff it because you don't have time OR energy to deal with it. But then the proverbial last straw floats innocently on to the pile. Then along with the back the dam breaks letting out all those problems, misconceptions, and pain in the form of tears and snot. Once the reservoirs of sorrow are depleted you feel just fine and your ready to take on the world again except for one thing. All the broken places have to be fixed and the only way to do that is….. chocolate and ice-cream.....or chocolate ice-cream. Then the cycle is complete. Plaster those cracks with Blue Bell and slap on a new coat of Hershey’s and all is right again. The problem is....I can't complete the cycle! I bought the kids hot fudge sundaes. I was amazed at how INEFFECTUAL that was. We had beef fajitas for lunch and I had melba. Jon had shrimp and salad for dinner and I had OJ and melba. I made the kids spaghetti and that's when enough was enough. I guess my southern engineered spaghetti patch will have to do for a few more weeks until the cycle can be completed properly. I think it will hold for a while anyway.

TL: -35.8 lbs
Well, I'm not surprised with my weight. Between eating late and my other slow issue it's not a worry to me. Jon on the other hand is in a desperate state. Personally I'm not sure why this isn't working for him. My best guess is that he has hit a plateau. I think 240 must have been where he has been most of our marriage. It's only been in the last 6 months or so he has put on the extra 10 pounds. He drank A LOT of water yesterday and cut out a fruit and his carbs. He still didn't loose anything. So he's having an apple day! He's not pleased with the idea but he is also not pleased with loosing less than 1/2 pound in 4 days.
He ate 4 apples all day. I had the rest of my "pulled pork sandwiches" for lunch and melba and OJ for dinner. I didn't eat much either today. I honestly wasn't hungry at all! Jon was miserable.

My Stats
Day 11 R2

R2: 7 lbs
TL: -36 lbs
Yeah! I lost 1.4 lbs. I feel sorry for Jon though. He only lost .2 lbs. He's very, VERY frustraited. He is doing so good and not cheating at all. I told him to increase his water intake today and try not to have the melba. If that doesn't work, he may do an apple day. I'm not sure what's wrong. He should be loosing a LOT. He is so active and eating so little and on the HCG. It just doesn't make sense. My dad started HCG this weekend. He only gained 2 pounds on loading. Today, after his first day of VLCD (very low calorie diet) he lost 5.8 pounds!!!! Can you believe that? I told him he won for first day losses. Has anyone else seen a bigger loss on the first day? Let me know.
Well today is a big challenge for Jon all around. He is an insurance adjuster and yesterday there were massive tornados all over Oklahoma. His territory was devistated. He left the house at 4am to start assessing damage. Hopefully he will be fine with his apple, melba and tea he took. He did make it home around lunch and I heated him up some crab bisque. I had herb encrusted fish and sauted zuccini. For dinner I made an experiement that was VERY successful. I call it "Pulled Pork Sandwiches". If course, there's no pork in it.....or bread...but the CONSEPT is what counts. It's all a mental game this HCG diet! So I made homemade barbeque sauce. You can see the recipe here. THEN I took a serving of it, which counts as a veggie and put it a pan with a chicken portion and about half a chopped onion SINCE I just learned onions DON'T COUNT! WOO HOO! I put enough water to cover everything and then let it simmer down until the chicken was done and the sauce was back to a paste. Then I used two forks to shreded the chicken. THEN I put it on my melba. OOO BOY!!! It was soooo gooood. But it was really spicy and I couldn't finish it. But sooo goood! Jon loved it. He did the whole day with only his two meals and an apple. He skipped out on melba and another fruit. I'm so proud of him.

Woo Hoo! Back on a roll! I lost 1 lb and Jon lost .4 lbs. Now if I could only poo. I wouldn't worry about it except that I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable. I was going to take some "smooth move" tea, but just thinking about it got the old system rolling.
I wasn't hungry AT ALL today and Jon said the same thing. I had beef broccoli and melba arouond 12 when I made the kids lunch though. Jon had an issue at work. He had a manditory lunch at a restraunt. He decided to just take his apple and melba. He said it was the most embarassing thing he had ever done. I was thinking...."Try birthing a child." Being on a diet in front of other people is childs play compared to having the whole world inspect your most private parts. Nothing bothers you after that! I had OJ and melba for dinner and Jon had herb encrusted tilapia with sauteed zucchini. We both did really well today!

Day 91 - Bye, Bye, Boobies and Eating out
My Stats
Day 9 R2
175.2 lbs
R2:- 4.8 lbs
TL: -33.8 lbs
Well, I gained another .2 lbs. Jon stayed the same. We're both frustrated only because we are not cheating AT ALL. It's discouraging when you say no to so much and don't get any results. I know my issues, which are two fold. First I'm fertile. I retain water when I'm fertile and as last time I was on HCG I gain and loose very little during this time. My second issue is, since the last time I mentioned my bowls there has been no activity. That was 5 days ago, and as previously discussed....poo weighs a LOT. Knowing this helps me keep a brave face for Jon. He is really discouraged. But I keep encouraging him that it's ok, he'll loose again tomorrow. To help ease his frustration I agreed to go out to eat yesterday, a brave venture considering our current situation. I was willing to take the blow if it would take the edge off for Jon.
We had left church when we decided to eat out. Being Mother's day we didn't want to eat right away because of the waits at restaurants so I popped into Wal-Mart and bought a bag of apples, a box of melba, and a 12 oz bottle of OJ. Jon and the kids had apples and I ate my melba and OJ. Then we went to the mall for my mother's day present. I desperately need new bras, not because they are falling apart, but because they don't fit me anymore. My boobs are literally falling out! I got professionally measured and fitted. Sigh, oh sigh. I've gone down a cup size. On the bright side, I can now wear a push up bra....OOOH MAMA!
After our foray at the mall we headed to Texas Roadhouse and waited for 45 minutes even at 3 o'clock. Jon and I shared a 6 oz sirloin with no butter. My side was tomatoes and his was broccoli. I think he had two peanuts while we waited but we both turned down the rolls. I smelled them very deeply though! Jon kind of splurged and ate all his broccoli which was probably about 2 oz too much. I ate all my tomato which was probably just a little more than normal. Later in the evening I just wanted to EAT, so I had a couple more melba. I did start peeing copious amounts during the evening. I think I'm releasing some of that retained water. Yeah!

Day 90 - First Gains
My Stats
Day 8 R2
175.0 lbs
R2: -5 lbs
TL: -34 lbs
Jon lost .4 lbs today. He's pretty discouraged. Oh....I remember the woes of R1 like they were yesterday....well they were only 2 months ago. I remember how NOT loosing at least a pound was depressing. How I've changed. R2 has caused me much less anxiety because I know what to expect. I gained .2 lbs today. I'm not discouraged and I'm not upset. I know that for the next couple days I'm not going to loose much because I'm fertile right now. When I was fertile last time it really messed with my mind because I was supposed to be loosing A LOT and I wasn't. Now I know it's just how my body reacts and I'm going to roll with it! I am going to try hard today to get all my water in though. That always makes a difference.
Jon had melba and an apple. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat anything. For lunch we had lemon pepper chicken. Jon had beef broccoli for dinner and I had oj and melba. I managed most of my liquids for the day. We'll see!

My Stats
Day 7 R2
174.8 lbs
R2: -5.2 lbs
TL: -34.2 lbs
I lost .8 lbs and Jon lost 1 lb.
Today I was hungry. I ate to maximum. I had OJ and melba for breakfast, crab bisque for lunch, and beef fajitas, OJ, and melba for dinner. I'm glad I did it, even though your not supposed to have the same fruit in a day (we were out of apples), because I wasn't miserable. I also noticed that I'm entering my fertile cycle. Last time I did that I gained some and lost very little for a couple of days. That coupled with my OJ indiscretion means I'm expecting very little loss tomorrow. Jon had shrimp salad for lunch, beef fajitas for dinner and took an apple to the movies with the kids to munch on. I don’t think either one of us drank as much as we were supposed to though.
