Day 5/21
First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mom! I love you!
Round 4 is, well, moving along. It's been filled with birthday parties (tonight is the 2nd), work potlucks (which I am not going to partake in today) and one Christmas party. There will be more. So, at this point, I'm wondering if I'll be doing a correction day every other day? I hope not. I don't think I can stomach the food.
Yesterday, I decided to go with a rotisserie chicken for my correction day. For dinner, I ate about 20 cherry tomatoes, and about 1/2 of a HUGE roty (as we call them) chicken from Sam's. It was yummy. In the end, I lost 2.1 pounds. So, I lost what I gained from the day before and then some, but I still didn't get back to my LDW. I need another 0.9 off to hit that. I had half of a notion to do a 2nd correction day today, if I wasn't going to Mom's 2nd birthday party tonight! : )
I heard about a detox bath (thank you, Abbie!), and I might try it tomorrow night. It's supposed to help your body release toxins (duh, Julia!), and the people who do HCG end up losing at least a pound with it. I want to get back to the weight I was (1.7 pounds less, which was 0.8 below LDW) last Tuesday, before my wisdom tooth came out and I got that dreaded sugar IV when I was put under. I think it's wreaked havoc on my system since I was sugar free (I sound like I'm a piece of food!) for over 2 months. My goal is to hit my loading days at or below my LDW. Here's the "recipe" I received:
- 1 lb. Epson salt
- 1 lb. baking soda
- As hot of water as you can stand
- 1 orange (in slices) --- OPTIONAL
- Table salt --- OPTIONAL
- Sit in the bath for 20 minutes
- If you feel dizzy and/or light-headed (this is when you add the orange slices and table salt if this occurs)
So, 12 days until Christmas (start singing the song everyone!) ... I hope it is a blessed, safe and happy one for you all!
