Day 6 Round 2
132 lbs. Man, I just blew through those first 8 lbs. in two days. This was better than round 1 where I dropped 6 lbs. in the first 3 days. Today, I did sort of cheat...already. On my 5 scallops for dinner I had about 1/3 cup of some mango salsa I had made from scratch. Nothing too extreme. Just mango, onions and jalapenos. It made the scallops taste delicious! After dinner I went out and mowed and edged the lawn, which was no small feat. Can't remember the last time I mowed since the grass was pretty high in spots. Just maybe, I worked off those extra calories. The scales will tell tomorrow.

Day 5
154 lbs. It is just like I was told. You pig out for 3 days and then you blow through the added weight gain in nothing flat. I'm down 4 lbs. since yesterday.
Today will be a challenge since I have to work. I'm supposed to drink at least a gallon of water each day. The way the H2o has been flowing through has me concerned about delivering my 4+ hour route today without having to pee in the woods. I'm already planning a spot in my mind. There are some secluded areas on the route, but unfortunately no actual "comfort stations" as they are called in the postal business. Oiy!!!
Made it through the route OK. Rain doesn't help when you gotta go, though!
Another concern I had was at the acupuncturist tonight. My tendonitis has been acting up due to the change of the seasons, repetitive motions, etc. He usually massages my elbow with a combination of tea tree, cinnamon and another type of oil. Since oil absorbs through your skin and even though this really isn't edible oil, I worried that I might not lose any lbs. today. We'll have to see.
I'm learning which foods to combine to equal the 500 calories. Meat and chicken have the most calories, so your other protein for the day should be shrimp, crab or something with lesser calories. Today I had chicken for lunch and meat (3.5 ozs., at least I followed that) for dinner. As I counted up the daily calories I found I was over by about 146! We'll see what that does for tomorrow.
Had more trouble with the needle going through the butt skin tonight. I may revert back to the belly tomorrow night. I can't imagine that my butt is that tough!

More Supplies Arrived
The bacteriostatic water arrived yesterday. Three little plastic bottles into which I will mix the hCG when it arrives. I've decided to assign a plastic pan the home for all this gear I'm collecting. So far, I have the water and the alcohol wipes safely inhabiting the space.
Can't wait to get started. The countdown clock is getting antsy just sitting up there on the top of this blog doing absolutely nada.
Today I think I will look up the calorie contents of all the proteins, fruits and veggies I can eat on this diet. I'll make a cheat sheet. Not a cheat sheet in the sense of cheating, but more of a quick reference. If I'm thinking right, I'll start off my days by adding the calories of the proteins, then the fruits and lastly, I'll know how much I can eat in the way of veggies. Kind of work backwards, if you will. I need to know how many calories are in a head of lettuce, for instance. The proteins will contain the bulk of my daily caloric intake. I think it makes sense to start there. So, off to the list. I love spreadsheets! It's likely because I'm so anal!
