LD1 - 150.8 lbs. I have no idea what my weight was today (LD2) as I was out of town with no scale in sight.
Out of town is not a bad place to be for loading days. Happily, fattening food can easily be acquired on vacation.
I thought long and hard about what food to eat for loading.I did a mix of good fats and terrible fats. I ate until I was full but not to the point of feeling sick. I loaded with the following (in no particular order)...
Coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 + sugar, chocolate covered cashews, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, hash brown potatoes, a hot fudge sundae, almond butter, peanut butter, a croissant with jam, blueberry muffin with butter, two 4 ounce tenderloins -- one with Bearnaise sauce (oh my god) and the other with a horseradish crust, stuffed mushrooms (stuffed with crab, spinach and cheese), au gratin potatos (I saw god and god is thinly sliced potatoes with cream and caramelized onions and cheese!), a cheeseburger (no bun) with guacamole, french fries, a chocolate malted, barbeque ribs.
Overall I feel ok-ish albeit a bit meh -- part of this struggle is going to be halting my workout routine. I already feel soft. I am nervous about day 1 of VLCD. Very nervous. Hopefully I don't gnaw off my arm or someone elses. I have planned ahead and have all my food for the next few days measured, bought and packaged. I suspect the morning will be the worse. I love coffee with cream and sugar. Going without will be torture. I don't really do black coffee. It tastes like an ashtray. I tried some of the stevia and HATE IT. So bitter with a nasty aftertaste . No thanks. I might try 1 TB of milk and ice it down a bit to cut the bitterness.
My goal is 20 pounds and to keep it off and kick the sugar/carbs. This is supposed to be a 21 day protocol but I have hcg troches for 28 days so I might as well gut it out 7 more days. I started the Hcg on LD1 - they taste like tangerine and take about 5 minutes to dissolve under my tongue.
