Nine days to go before I start the HCG again, and I can't wait! Obviously I've been terrible about blogging lately, and I've been just as terrible about eating, but SOMEHOW I'm three pounds below LIW. There must be something to that whole resetting-your-metabolism stuff! I've been off of the "high" of dropping weight for awhile now, but I was reminded of how far I've come this weekend, when I ran into a couple people I hadn't seen in awhile. It's really lovely (and a little embarrassing) to have an old friend exclaim, "You've lost weight! You've lost A LOT of weight!"
I'm spending the next week getting ready for Round 2. I picked up Potassium and B-complex and C today. I'll take my multi-vitamin, and I'll start taking the fiber again. I am coming down with a cold right now, so I've been loading up on every conceivable cold, flu, and allergy medication trying to stop it in its tracks. I believe this is the first time I've been sick this year, so I can't complain TOO much, but I wish it would just go away...especially right before Christmas.
We're having another big dinner on Christmas--turkey, mashed potatoes, and all...but we haven't had many "treats" around this year, and I don't miss them at all. We're also planning the New Year's Brunch (on my second load day!), and I've heard that one of our guests is bringing chocolate bread pudding (and it's a Paula Deen recipe!). I'm still rifling through Brunch recipes trying to figure out what I'm going to have with my Bloody Marys. Any ideas for high-fat yummy food???
