First, a little shout out to my husband, who may or may not read this. Today is our 8th anniversary and I just want to say I am so glad I married you Jorge! I love our life together and I am looking forward to the years to come! And thank you for your support as I follow the HCG protocol! Yesterday while I was doing apple day, Jorge took the kids out to dinner, which meant I didn't have to deal with making or watching them eat dinner last night. He is also the first to tell me when he notices that I have lost weight in different areas of my body... he certainly knows better than anyone else! I love you Jorge! Happy Anniversary to us!
OK, now moving on...
The following is taken directly from Dr. Simeon's manuscript, Pounds and Inches..."The apple-day produces a gratifying loss of weight on the following day, chiefly due to the elimination of water. This water is not regained when the patients resume their normal 500-Calorie diet at lunch, and on the following days they continue to lose weight satisfactorily."
The point I want to emphasize here is the "gratifying loss of weight", which indeed, I have experienced as a result of yesterdays apple day. 2.4 lbs gone this morning, baby! I don't think you can get any more gratifying than that, as far as a one day loss goes! This brought me into my next weight "decade" which I have been wanting so very badly to see. (you know, the next group of ten)...
I know it is primarily water, and we will see what tomorrow brings, but this is what I needed psychologically, I needed to see some progress. Hopefully my body will do what Dr. Simeons said, and will not regain that weight and continue to lose tomorrow.
One other thing... I took my measurements yesterday, because so many HCG'ers have told me that often, while at a plateau, they have continued to lose inches. While the results weren't a dramatic difference between yesterday and 5 days prior, there was some progress. 3/4" off the bust, 1/4" off the chest, and 1/2" off the right thigh (hopefully the left thigh experienced the same thing...ha ha!)
So now the total is up to 17.8lbs, and 17.5 inches woo-hoo!~ Isn't it crazy how those two numbers are almost exactly the same?
More later...
