I see I’ve been quite remiss in posting here. Not that anyone but me is reading my blog but what the hey. It gives me some place to vent if nothing else.
So I may or may not get back to the Ireland travelogue and thus, dear reader, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
No, today’s musings are about the hcg protocol from Dr. Simeon’s and how it’s been working.
FANTASTICALLY WELL. 3 1/2 weeks into the protocol I have shed 18.4 pounds! Almost unbelievable. I’m on a short, planned break for this weekend as we’re driving to Coeur d’Alene to attend a wedding. When we get back Joe is going to start the protocol so I’ll wait to return to the VLCD until Thursday which is when he’ll start.
I’m looking forward to the next 3 weeks and hope I can behave myself a little better than I’ve done in the last 10 days. Can’t believe I was still losing weight anyway. Not that I overindulged in anything just nibbled here and there on nuts and a bit of popcorn at the movies (like 12 kernels until yesterday’s 2nd viewing of Star Trek when I gobbled the last handful out of the bag. Bad Darleen!) But had I stayed on protocol I might have dropped 25 pounds. Who knows?
Well it doesn’t matter. I have plenty on hand to do at least 4 long rounds if necessary. Since I have 46 more pounds to get rid of I’m hoping it will only take this short one and a second long one to get the job done.
And on that note, for the wedding I actually bought a dress. A size 16, thank you very much which I haven’t been able to squeeze into for a couple of decades. OK it’s stretchy. So what. My size 16 jeans ALMOST fit so by the end of the second 3 weeks I’m sure they’re going to be baggy. I cannot wait.
