This morning I did have a bowl of cereal again. Yesterday I had a bowl of warm quinoa and milk but otherwise stuck to the protocol menu. I've still been using lotions and some oil free make up foundation by Sephora. I'm happy with my loss so far even though it's not very much compared to others. But my hunger is much more in control and I'm not completely miserable during this round. :) Being on TOM for 5-6 days of my 10 is not helping. Since I don't have a normal cycle I can't go along with Dr. S's "don't injection on menstruation days". Oh hell, I would have passed out eating 500-700 calories with no HCG. So I didn't inject on the heaviest days which were 2 days. Today I injected myself again as it's gotten lighter but by no means complete. It sucks. I'm hoping I have enough HCG to get me closer to 125. I'm sure I'll get creative with the amount I have left and try to get to 125.

Happy Dance
Today's Weight: 132.6
Yesterday: 134.0
Difference: -1.6 *happy dance*
HCG Dose: 18 units
I was really excited to see the loss. I jumped up and down on the scale for a few times to make sure it was true.
The best part is that I've only turned yellow (jaundice) once during this round. My addiction to cereal helps control the dizziness and jaundice. I wonder if the Melba toast provides a little bit of carbs for those HCG dieters that are not gluten intolerant.
I haven't been as hungry today. I was really hungry when I woke up. So hungry that I ate 3 small (kids) bowls of cereal which I think makes it one large bowl of cereal. TOM is having commitment issues as always. TOM appears in the morning then goes away. Sometimes he loiters during the day then he takes off. This usually lasts for 8-10 days. Lovely. Endometriosis sucks.
I'm very curious to see what happens with my weight tomorrow. I wanted to keep the cereal to one small kids bowl a day but I'm sure TOM is contributing to the cravings.

Up a tad- thank you TOM
Day #5 VLCD
Round 4
Today's Weight: 134.6
Yesterday's Weight: 134.0
Difference: +.6
TOM sighting
No injection today
Yesterday I didn't keep track of what I ate so I couldn't update my blog. I became hungry pretty late, around 11 pm and drank a diet hot chocolate (25 calories). I also ate 3 pieces of cheese which add up to about an once of cheese. I stayed away from the halloween candy. TOM was spotted today though so I'm not very shocked at the .6 gain today. I also injected very late yesterday due to Halloween events. I was VERY hungry when I woke up this morning. I ate a medium bowl of Mesa cereal. I was craving the carbs. I'm sure TOM has something to do with that also. On the other hand, no dizzy spells today and very little to no hunger.
Breakfast
medium-large bowl of Mesa cereal with milk
Coffee with 1/2 & 1/2 (appx 1 tsp), sweetened with Splenda (don't like coffee with stevia)
Lunch:
1 orange
Other: 1 Coke Zero
Snack
none
Dinner
3.8 oz grilled chicken (no oil)
3.5 oz of lettuce
1 tsp of salsa
Other: 5 small regular M&Ms
Obviously there is a handful of no-no's in my daily food intake. If I begin to gain or stall I'll know why. I think the M&Ms have enough milk to mess with my stomach though but otherwise I like the size of the sugar/chocolate fix. I'm not a person who's every stuck to the no-chocolate EVER portion of the HCG VLCD protocol. I must confess. I totally minimize the fact that I don't stick 100% to the protocol and then act shocked when I don't lose the weight I was wanting to lose. One of my goals this round is to be more aware of that type of thinking and cognitive dissonance and either accept it or actively change that behavior. I think it's important for long term weight management and maintenance.
