Loading Day 2

This is Interesting To Say The LEAST- 154.4 (+/.6) Day 2
So this is Day 2 of loading for me. I'm doing this along side my seventeen year-old daughter under the supervision of Dr. JD McCoy of Contour Medical in Phoenix, AZ. I have read everything I could get my hands on and really listened to what Dr. McCoy has seen and what he says truly works. Andlet's be honest here....like most of you, I've done every program out there. The last thing I did was BFL and I looked FABULOUS and felt great. Until one day I was doing my morning routine at the gym at my usually 5:45 am time and simply decided I needed to take a hiatus because nothing was pumping me. (This is actually recommended every so often and it had been awhile.) The long and short of it, that was nearly 2.5 years ago and THIRTY POUNDS ago! UGH! MY STARTING WEIGHT YESTERDAY - 153.8
He's assured me that I'm going to feel fabulous once again and be able to fit into my two closets worth of 6's. I hate to even admit I'm squeeze into a 12 right now. PATHETIC! (Keep in mind, I'm stretching the true about being 5'3" on my driver's license.) He also stressed that he sees the best results from patients who consume the Yerba Mate and Wu Long (or Oolong) teas daily. So even on these loading days, my tea has been with me all along.
Get a load of loading day one - A sausage biscuit, large coffee with cream, and since I was there, I picked up a box of 40 doughnut holes for my office. I easily consumed 25 of those little suckers throughout the day. For lunch, leftover Chinese.....and no not the healthy stuff either. Truly, I DIDN'T have the urge to eat AT ALL. Matter of fact, the hunger bell NEVER went off today. Mid-afternoon I pulled out some leftover London Broil with chutney....God is that good. Then I came home and ate two crab cakes for dinner, nearly a whole bag of Terra Chips (love those too) a nice glass of vino and probably a dozen caramel Hersey kisses. Let's just say be bedtime I was feeling like a pig in a fat lady suit.
The one thing I did experience yeaterday was heaat flashes. Since I know I'm to young to be mid-lifen', I'm thinkin' the hCG may be kickin' into gear. Well see today. If it happens around the same time then I'll know. I did have a boost of energy as well and was cleaning my office big time yesterday. I hope that kicks in today as well. My house could certainly use that ! I wonder if the hCG is like the "nesting" hormone. Cuase I was a crazy chic big time before delivering.....hmmmmm.
So today, I'm hoping to finish a long overdue project end which is getting my first floor bathroom put back together after tearing it all out. Lauren (the seventeen year-old) babysat last night so I'm excited to hear how her day went. She started out at 173.4. I'll post her daily entry later.
