#44 - Stabilization Phase - July 16 - Aug 5
Had a family emergency and had to take off up north to look after my Mom. Who's going to be ok, thank goodness but is in a lot of pain with her chest infection and two broken ribs!
In my haste, I forgot my scales at home. So will have to do my best 'til I get back to increase my caloric intake to around 1200 but maintain what I was two days ago. I know, good luck without my scales.
If you feel you have excess pounds you'd like to shed, I ask, "do you really want to get rid of it now?"
Cheers to Your Health!

#42 - "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss
#42 - 181 lb (same) total this phase -18.5, Grand total -33 lb!
Well, I would say I'm on a plateau. That and to speak of a delicate subject, you must make sure that your body does what it's supposed to do every day and pass waste. That's why in the program it states to have a natural laxative tea every other day.
Today I decided to start Stabilization Phase so no more HCG drops. As well, today and tomorrow still only 500 cal.

#41 - "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and hitting our mark."
Michaelangelo
#41 - 181 lb (same?)
The only think I can figure is that I had 4 oz of steak for lunch-2 days in a row.
Funny thing is, is that I rarely eat red meat and in the 1st round of HCG, not once.
Have been working furiously on putting programs together for those who wish to follow my lead, now that I'm convinced that the HCG works. I'll combine it with my NLP Coaching tools and techniques that guarantee results are permanent.
HCG will reduce the weight quickly but without NLP Coaching I would guesstimate that the weight will come back on eventually because you haven't addressed the "why" you're overweight.
NLP always finds out the "why" and the "how" of your issue. Then once we know these in the context of your weight issue, we can address the strategies and behaviours that run, for the most part, out of your awareness. We eliminate the sabotage strategies/behaviour and then adjust and tune the rest for your success.

#40 - "Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your mind. Put your whole soul to it.
Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic, and faithful and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803 - 1882 Essayist, Philosopher and Poet
#40 - 181 (-2) total -18.5 lb
Was going to make this my last day and I've changed my mind.
I want to get into the next level...the 170's!
These have been my mini goals, the 190's, the 180's...
Then I can stabilize there until I decide what I'm going to do next.
This other supplier that I found does her program a little different than the one that I've been on. One of the biggest differences I saw was that they allowed a Melba toast or Breadstick @20 cals worth per meal. Didn't have that on mine. I find that odd since one of the main ideas is that you're supposed to be off sugars and carbs for the duration of the program.
I'm thinking that I may do another round and I'll follow this other program's directions to see which one I like the best.
You know it's like making a cake. The first time you follow the recipe exactly. Then you play with it to see how you can make it better. That's that Values Level 5 in me!

Silly, silly. Ate some of the BD supper that I made for my daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
You know, not only does it set me back from my goal and I lose the time but I also feel very yucky.
Goes to show ya the effects of what too rich food can have on the body-specially when you're not used to it.
And oddly enough, I actually was looking forward to eating properly today....whoa what a different perspective - and I have -lol

#38 - 180.5 (+0.5) total -19 lb
Strange happenings yesterday.
As I said I assisted this past w/e at a very transformational event.
Yesterday at lunch, all of a sudden I felt weak, dizzy and nauseous. I was running around cooking my lunch and dinner on the BBQ, checking on the pool, watering the dry gardens, etc. all within an hour!
Normally that kind of activity for me is not an iss (I've always been like the ever ready energizer bunny) but I've come to recognize and realize to watch my VLF (Vital Life Force energy) when Training during this protocol. They say in the HCG instructions "no strenuous exercise but can do cardio" and "that it's best if your life is not high stress".
Well, it's not that the training is stressful for me or the participants because it's actually really fun but...for me it's high energy!
I hadn't noticed that this protocol was affecting my energy that much but it makes sense.
Learning's, learning's, learning's...
It's All Good!
As I said the other day, I've been in contact with another company in the States and have been reading their literature that they provide with the HCG and I've decided to make this Wednesday, Day #40 the end of this round for me based on my crazy schedule for the next 2 weeks. And I'm pretty much finished my NLP Health Breakthrough - probably will have one more visit to check in and do any other touch ups on my Strategies or any Limiting Beliefs that I may come across that are non-supportive to my Health. :)
That means that on Thursday and Friday I'll continue to eat 500 calories but no more HCG. I'll start the Stabilization Phase for the following 21 days (3 weeks).
Stabilization Phase:
You are allowed to eat basically whatever you want from the "allowed" list (which you've been eating from) but still within this phase starch and sugar-free!! If you start out with the idea that you've been eating 500 cal/day and test your body with maybe 1500 cal, if you drop a pound then you need to add more calories. This is what I found in late March after I'd finished Round 1. The idea is to increase your calories to allow your body to let you know where your new weight set point is. This new weight set point will also be reset in the hypothalamus. It is stressed not to gain 2 pounds or lose 2 pounds.
You refrain from continual weight loss! It is very important to eat All meals. You want to set a healthy metabolism and as each person is different, you need to see which foods work for you without weight gain and adjust accordingly.
Eat 5-6 times a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks - this keeps the metabolism moving.
If you exercise more you will have to take in more calories to sustain your weight. You have to listen to your body.
During stabilization, oils are allowed, but use in moderation remembering to use the heart healthy fats. You can have protein including eggs, fruit, and vegetables (off the list-corn, potato, corn, peas, yams, summer squash and pumpkin or any other starch vegetable). Cheese and milk are acceptable within moderation but be careful of yogurt. Most brands contain added sugar (low fat dairy products are recommended).
Check labels, weigh yourself daily.
Now here's an interesting "To Do":
Remember you should never lose or gain more than 2 pounds. If you go up 2 pounds do a steak day.!
Steak Day: To do a two pound recovery, abstain from all food until the evening meal when you are allowed a large steak cooked in oil or butter and one apple or tomato.
Hmmm...
Cheers to Your Health!
