I am pooped.

I worked at the zoo all day and must have logged in 5 miles running around from one exhibit to another. And it was warm so I sweated a lot. Right now I'm laying in bed, looking at the clock, trying to come up with some excuse not to do to derby practice, but I missed last week so I really should go.

Oh! Weighed in this morning at 173, 3.2 pounds down!!! And just now jumped back on the scale and it's 171. Seriously!! I can't believe it. If I hit

Took an ambien last night because I couldn't sleep. With all the stress of my husband going out of state for work for a while and starting this new diet, I had only gotten about 4 hours of sleep total in two days. I hate taking my sleeping pills, but I'm so glad I did! I woke up with a great pep in my step and ready for my first VLCD!!

Had a busy day. Took the car in for an oil change, ran across the valley to pickup a changing table (and load it into my car - that wiped me

I'm tired. Couldn't sleep last night. I was too full from loading, I missed my husband, I couldn't get off the hcg forum. Got to bed at 5:00am. Weighed myself first (up 1.5 pounds) and took my morning hcg.

Woke up at 8:30am. Ate 4 cinnamon rolls and a drank a glass of whole milk. Shut off my crock pot creation from last night (6 diced tomatoes, 600 grams of cooked lean steak cut into cubes, chili power and water) into 6 containers.

My plan for today was ambitious.

One more day I start loading. Which also means it's only one more day until my husband leaves. This time for 7 weeks. I hate this day. I'm doing all his laundry and trying not to look sad. My first day on the diet is tomorrow. Up at 6:00am. Sneak in my drops (the hubs doesn't know about the HCG) and then take him to the airport. Cry. Then find an IHOP to start loading. Stop crying a realize I am about embark on a fantastic weight loss journey.

But for now, right
