Well I'm on the homestretch now...10 days to go! Then 3 weeks of Stabilization. I'll pay attention and read fine print this time.
I think I'm going to create a "Lessons Learned" page. Then I'm going to add this one to it, and I may have mentioned this before but; take into consideration seasonality-such as planned holidays, long weekends, etc.
I just came across some addn'l info today via a new HCG contact that I've made in the States who quotes from Dr. Simeon's book about "Taking a Break Because of Unforeseen Interruptions", e.g. knowing beforehand that you will have to travel and be absent for more than four days, he suggests it is always better to stop the drops 3 days before hand and continue with the 500 cal for those 3 days.
He continues, "this saves them from the almost impossible task of having to arrange the 500 calorie diet while en route, and he can thus enjoy a much greater dietary freedom from the day of their departure. Only caveat is interruptions should only happen after 7-10 days of being on the program, otherwise some weight is liable to be regained. After 7-10 days an unavoidable interruption is merely a loss of time. Hmmmmm - very interesting. I shall take that under advisement.
I've figured out how to go out to lunch or dinner with friends and stay "on". Order a green salad with 1/2 lemon on the side, grilled chicken breast, water/mineral water, green tea/black coffee/espresso.
May sound plain but you'll be amazed at how "clean" your palette becomes-which in my books is a good thing. Then you're not so tempted to go back at those greasy, creamy high fat, calorie and carb meals.
I remember ordering a small Caesar salad at this restaurant in Newmarket that's famous for them and although first few bites tasted good, my stomach started to get really upset and I never finished it - I actually thought I was going to see it again, same happened with their Greek salad.
Also, at home I have on hand herbs and organic sea salt herb mixes that I grind on top of my salad to give it a twist.
Must tell you quickly, I went to the Mall quickly this a.m. as I needed some smaller clothes! Wow now doesn't that sound great! It sure felt great.
It's funny how some clothes are a smaller fit than others but I was thinking to myself today as I was fitting into size 14 and size 12 tops and slacks...if this is what I fit into at 183, should I choose to keep going 'til 140, what the heck size am I really?
I always thought maybe I was a 10/12, because when I was in my early 20's I remembered buying 10. But now I'm not so sure...
From Feb'10 I had set the target of 140 and just figured I'd see and feel what was the healthiest for me-might be less, might be more.

#34 - "Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young."
Paul McCartney
Singer/Songwriter
#34 - 184.5 (-1) Total -15 lb
Speaking of imagination, that's what I tell my clients when we're working with Time Line Therapy TM (TLT), all they need to do is be able to take direction and have an active imagination, as it's actually their unconscious mind that's doing all the work anyway.
TLT was developed in around 1986 by Dr. Tad James and who co-wrote the book "Time Line Therapy and The Basis of Personality" in '88 with Wyatt Woodsmall-what a wealth of information!
TLT allows me to assist clients in eliminating negative emotions, limiting beliefs, limiting decisions and phobias, each in 15 min. or less...permanently. Compared to traditional therapy where the ratio is 1:1, you have to essentially talk about your problem for as long as you have had the problem and you may never get resolution.
TLT is simple and quick and it also increases the amount of energy and emotional resources in a person.
As Dr. James explains, an individuals' personality can become blocked due to unreleased negative emotions like anger, fear, sadness and guilt as well as long forgotten limiting decisions.
I am sure you must've had the experience of feeling less energetic when you were feeling sad or upset. And all of us, have certainly made limiting decisions in our lives when we thought we couldn't do something but later on discovered that we had abilities and resources that we previously thought were lacking.
TLT is a simple communications technique that's elegant, quick and efficient.
Cheers to Your Health!

OK, well I figured out the body fat discrepancy. Last day at the cottage my sister-in-law tried out my fancy scales and changed my settings to "male"-lol
Interesting that gender would make that much of a difference in body fat.
I'll have to ask her what the scales said about her :)
Gotta get to the store today and get my supply of grapefruit, berries, greens, etc. Ended up having an apple for bk - which is ok.

#32 - "Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth." Benjamin Disraeli
#32 - 191 (+4.5) Total -8.5 lb
Gave back the 5.5 lb that I'd lost last week these past 5 days at the cottage. Think I'd better stick to shorter trips, less challenging.
And as much as it's disappointing, to go backwards, I'm actually quite pleased that I managed to stick to the program as much as I did.
Another note to self: Seasonality appears to be an issue when arranging to do the protocol. Therefore schedule it around vacation etc. if you can and you'll achieve better results.
A friend of mine said a few weeks ago that she was interested in doing the program but not until she got back home in August from the cottage - good plan!
Day #30 was a measurement day (you take measurements when you start and every 10 days), results were decrease of 0" in a couple of spots and from 1/4" to 2" in the rest-pretty good.
A strange result this a.m. was 34.5% Body Fat, down 5% in one day. I'm wondering if my scales need a new 9 volt. I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow a.m.

Harvey Fierstein
#26 - 185.5 (-1.5) Total -14 lb
Feelin' pretty tired today. Was a little yesterday but more so today.
Although I haven't done anything physically strenuous in the last couple days, I've been spending long hours on building my business. It's all good though :)
With HCG they tell you not to do overly strenuous activities and I've noticed that when I cut all the grass, a few days ago, in one go (45 min) during 30C heat, that it knocked the energy out of me!
Of all the different protocols/diets/weight loss programs that I've done, never had one say to only do moderate exercise - like walking!
I used to detest exercise, in any form...that is until I mentioned in a previous blog working with my NLP Coach and she discovered I didn't have a Strategy for Health and exercise and put one in. What a difference...I soooo enjoy walking now and when I can't I feel disappointed-like I'm missing my treat for the day! Pretty cool, don't you think?
