Day 6 of Phase 2

Day 8 of a 42 day program
Weight: 215.6

My first Saturday on the VLC portion of the diet went well I am happy to report. I was on my own most of the day so it was easy for me to just eat what I should. Tomorrow will be a bit more troublesome I'm afraid, mainly because I will have so much that I need to get accomplished and I am worried that I will not have enough energy to get it all done.

One thing I did notice today was the fact that being at home I did not consume as much caffeine as I do when I am at work, and as a result, my headache was back. Aleve took care of it, but I am pretty sure it was caffeine withdrawal.

I found a great online book today written by: Tammy Skye; The HCG dieter Gourmet Cookbook: Phase Two. I think other than the original protocol manuscript this book will be the most valuable thing I can read. It lists the foods that OK for the diet along with some great sounding recipes for each. I am so excited to have found this. I was beginning to get really concerned that I would get board with just grilling my food. This gives me so many more options. The book was written by a woman who went through the diet and was successful with it. I think that is a pretty good endorsement.

I am thinking about doing a Vlog in addition to this written blog. It can act as a visual record and perhaps show the changes that I will hopefully go through in the next 34 days. If I do decide to do it, I will post links here. I am also thinking I will post my food logs on a separate page here on this blog.

Tomorrow is the next grocery store trip, I am defiantly changing up the meats that I eat. Gonna add more seafood and try to limit the beef. Think I'll get some ground chicken to replace the ground beef and add some veal. Now that I know that I can have chicken broth (salt free) I have so much more that I can do with the food.
