I couldn’t WAIT to get out of bed this morning. VLCD1 is FINALLY here!

After loading for two days, I felt very uncomfortable last night. My stomach was bloated, my fingers felt like sausages (too much sodium) and my body just felt plain ol polluted.

I gained 5.8lbs while pre-loading last weekend and loading Monday and Tuesday. That makes me 5.8lbs above Round 2 LIW. Hoping to have these loading pounds gone by Sunday so that I can start working on the real fat next week.

Sitting here this morning sipping my green tea and already done with 20 ounces of water. Time for a refill. I missed this.

Already experienced a couple ‘twinges’ of anxiety as I’ve accepted dinner party evites and dinner dates with friends. For the dinner party I always offer to bring a green salad (which I make hcg friendly) then there is always some meat on the grill I can enjoy. With my fancy glass of Pellegrino and strawberries, nobody asks the question "you're not drinking?". For eating out, I find that most restaurants serve some variety of a chicken salad, which I can order with lemon and balsamic vinegar as dressing (prior to my arrival, I peruse the menu online so I know exactly what to order and how to order it when I get there).

Looking forward to my body feeling CLEAN again. All the fresh fruits and veggies, water and green tea.

Today will likely be my last fully powered workout for 26 days, so I plan on making it COUNT!

Have a beautiful day!
