Short Term Goal: 165
4.0lbs gone (in 3 days), only 17.4 lbs to go!
I had been procrastinating on the whole food journal thing. So I thought that maybe I should kinda sorta get on that. I downloaded an app on my phone to use, after of course Googling to see which would be the best. I came across Calorie Counter by Fat Secret. It's FREE, which let's face it... in this overpriced world is awesome... And so far it seems to be really awesome. I am able to track my caloric intake, as well as set my calories to the measly 500 a day the HCG diet calls for so it can tell me how many calories I have left for the day. I will try to come back later and update what I have eaten. Yesterday I am pretty sure I went over what I was supposed to which may explain why I lost only 0.8 lbs instead of the 1.6 I had been losing. Oh well, here's to learning! Also going to be placing my order for more HCG so I can do another round since so far it seems to working fabulously and it will likely take a damn month to get here! Ah, the awesomeness of ordering from China.

Day Six of HCG
Current Weight: 183.2
Injection Spot: Right buttocks
Short Term Goal: 165
3.2lbs gone (in 2 days), only 18.2 lbs to go!
As you can see, I am definitely losing weight. I've lost a total of 3.2lbs in the matter of what, two days? I'll take it! Some are lucky to lose that a week, so I think I'm doing fairly well! This morning I had another rice cake for breakfast and for lunch I had a small (George Foreman grilled) hamburger patty with 10 calories of ketchup on top seasoned with just salt and pepper, and then 2 Kosher Dill Pickled (ZERO Calories!). As of now, I am still unsure what it is that I will be making for dinner, but I'm sure it'll be healthy and BLAND! haha!

Day Five of HCG
Current Weight: 184.8
Injection Spot: Left buttocks
Short Term Goal: 165
1.6lbs gone, only 19.8 lbs to go!
So I lost weight, in one day! Insane right? Well it happened. Granted it's not a whole lot, but I lost it and THAT'S what matters. I have been trying really hard to follow the 500 calorie a day diet and it's a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I'm doing fairly well with it. I had a rice cake for breakfast again, and one for lunch. I munched on grape tomatoes (only 30 calories, and you get to eat lots! haha!) along with an apple. For dinner I had a very small portion of corn along with tilapia, seasoned only with salt and pepper. Very bland dinner, but I'm hoping it pays off!

Day Four of HCG
Current Weight: 186.4
Injection Spot: Right buttocks
Short Term Goal: 165
21.4 lbs to go! :(
Took my injection today! Once again that little punk hurt. :( Oh well, bring on the skinny! Haha. Anyways, today (so far) I have only had a cup of tea, which tasted terrible without sugar, and two rice cakes (40 calories each, one for breakfast & one for lunch). So I seem to be doing alright. I took some hamburger meat out to defrost and I plan to make them into meatball type patties to eat. I also will be heading to the store to pick up some fruit at some point today. So, as I said, so far today... It's going well!!
Food Eaten:
Rice Cakes x2 - 80 Calories Total
420 Calories Left

Day Three of HCG
Current Weight: 186.6
Injection Spot: Upper Left Arm
Short Term Goal: 165
21.6 lbs to go! :(
As you can see I definitely gained weight. That's incredibly depressing. But I guess that is what goes along with stuffing your face for two days straight. :( I hope it pays off! Although I didn't stick to the 500 calorie diet as I was supposed to. With it being game day and our team playing, I ate stuff I shouldn't have. But you know what, I will keep working on it. :)
Again my injection stung and burned. Was not a fan. But I looked it up and it seems to be normal. More to come.

Day Two of HCG
Current Weight: 183.6
Injection Spot: Upper Outer Left Thigh
Short Term Goal: 165
18.6 lbs to go!
I went through with my second injection this morning, again it burned and hurt a bit, and again I made my husband do it for me! What a good guy! :P I actually have to work today, so eating all day may be a bit of a challenge, but it is a short day, so hopefully I can continue when I get home without an issue. As you can see I did gain almost a pound since my weigh in yesterday, however I am not going to let that discourage me. I am hopeful and believe that I will respond well to the injections along with weight loss. Wish me luck!

Day One of HCG
Current Weight: 182.8
Injection Spot: Upper Outer Right Thigh
I took my first injection today, and followed through with stuffing my face. I ate till I felt full. I was a bit shocked by this part of the "diet" but after doing more and more research I found that those who skipped this part tended to lose less than those that went through with it. So here we are, chunky still! Ha. This thing better work for me, because I have gotten incredibly discouraged lately. :( I did decide to do the 25 day cycle of HCG this time around with 200iu injections a day. It is said to be incredibly aggressive in compared to even 175iu, so we'll see! This girl definitely wants aggressive! \
I haven't decided on my "goal weight" as of yet. I am a bit hesitant to do so because I feel like I may know if I have reached my goal once I get there. The number on the scale isn't what bothers me, it's the way I look, so depending on where the fat is coming off of (tummy needs to go mainly!) then it will depend on where I want to be with a number on a scale. I am leaning towards trying to get down to 130, but I feel like that is a bit of a jump at the moment so I am going to go with a "short term goal" of getting down to 165. I think at the moment that is incredibly reasonable! Which would mean I need to lose 17.8lbs. That's not terrible. :) Let's make that my short term goal to lose during this 25 day cycle of HCG.
The injection seemed to hurt and burn a bit. I wasn't a fan, and I had my husband do the injection for me because I know I would be a baby about actually pushing the injection in! So he got to be the bad guy! :P That's all, I'll update again tomorrow!
