What the hell day am I on?

I have it written down as the date but not the VLC days.

Day 10 VLCD and total 12 days with loading. I dropped 1.2lb over night last night and I think it might have to do with I had ground beef for the first time and a litte bit more grams than usual. 117 instead of 100. I might need more protein to lose weight so I'm testing this theory out today. I hate my normal lunch of cucumbers and just shrimp. When I got home I had 1 hard boiled egg (omg, I missed eggs SO much! I love them!) and I'll have my regular dinner of chicken and maybe some asparagus.
The 5 drops seem to be helping keep me less hungry but it's still there. Like a dull pain but tolerable.

I did noticed my stamina is not the same. I clean stalls at a barn through the week. I shovel 2-3 stalls, depending on the mess, then have to haul manure to a trailer to pick up and dump it in. It's only hard to lift the bucket and toss it in the trailer on a usual day but today is was really challenging for me. I have been doing this for years so this is not new to my muscles but today was just tough. Another reason why I think I need more protein and maybe some good fat to help move things along. I'm drinking a lot of green tea and water today but not the same amount of pit stops as usual in the last week and less urgency to go. I can see a difference in my body, like it's rearranging itself and I've got tiny bumps on my face which is really only noticeable upclose. People on the forums say it's the toxins coming out of my skin. I can understand that. I'll do a mud mask or a green tea mask later and see if that helps the little bumps go away.

No much else to report. Still figuring out my phone, but I did download an app where I can update this using it, so I'll try it tomorrow.

My ticker way down below is updated. 12.4# lost in 10 days. Not bad but why can't I do the 2#/day loss more often so I can speed this along? I do have to look at it that I'm losing 5x more in a week than normal, so I guess I can't be too impatient. Would be nice to be able to look better sooner. :/ Meh.

Yesterday and today

And the day before were very trying on my emotions. Let's just say I think crying makes me retain water because I'm at 216.2# for the past 2 days without cheating or anything. Or maybe I just hit my stall? It's supposed to happen when the abnormal fat cells are depleted and the body stores water in them before they are destroyed. Let's just hope that's it and I'm just retaining the water in the fat cells.

I've been keeping track of my food in a food diary but haven't eaten anything interesting or off protocol. I did have chicken and celery soup for lunch yesterday and I was feeling some hunger. I dropped my dosage down to 5 drops 6 times a day, and voila! No hunger. Or maybe my body is finally getting adjusted to the HCG? I do feel much better today, if not drained from lack of sleep from crazy emotional roller coaster ride that I don't even want to go into.

It also didn't help that I read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen in one day and watched the movie today. I'm a sucker for a good animal story, but I hate the cruelty that humans are capable of doing. It's a great movie and even better book. I highly recommend it.

I got a new phone yesterday and so I have not taken any pictures with it. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll have it figured out and new pics uploaded here.

Have a good rest of the weekend!
