1Body4Sixty – Day 4

Peggy - 213 (-3.0;  -6.0 Total)

Wow, I have never been a morning person, but today I jumped out of bed full of energy! I had not even had my morning cup of coffee sweetened with Stevia! Perhaps I have got pass the ‘carb bog’ I always experienced as a carb-aholic. My weight this morning was 213 lbs.

After my morning injection of HCG (which 1Body4Life Weight Loss Center has prepared at a compounding pharmacy and incorporates vitamin B-12), I had two cups of coffee which added to my energy!

I am struggling to drink the necessary water (1/2 to one gallon daily) to flush out the fat cells which HCG breaks down. (Did I mention that my urine is fluorescent yellow?) So taking a tip from the manual Dr. Footerman gave me at 1Body4Life Weight Loss Center, I started adding lemon juice (fresh squeezed) to my water. This has helped me immensely to consume quantities of water, which I was not accustomed to.

Lunch consisted of 4 oz. drained lean ground beef seasoned with garlic and spicy mustard and one cup of spinach seasoned with black pepper. AM snack was an apple.

Dinner consisted of 4 oz. drained lean ground beef seasoned with garlic and spicy mustard and salad greens (romaine & iceberg mixed) with tomatoes, two bread sticks with creamy bacon dressing. Yes, creamy bacon dressing, delicious! It tasted like a BLT!

Dr. Footerman’s nurse at 1Body4Life Weight Loss, told me about Walden Farms Dressing that has an extensive line of flavors which are: No Carbs, No Calories, No Fat, No Sugar, No Gluten. It is available in the refrigerated section at my local grocery. Always being partial to the creamy dressings, I am anxious to try some of the other flavors. This product will be my dressing of choice even after I achieve my goal weight.

My PM snack was another apple. I do have grapefruit, strawberries and oranges on hand. It has just been more convenient for me to have the apples when I am at work. The only glitch in my very productive day was that a friend invited me for dinner and I had to decline for fear of eating something not on the approved diet and affecting my weight loss.
