September 20, 2009- Menu Day #1

Menu Day #1
Injection Day #5
Mood: EXCITED! and a little disappointed....
Hunger Rating (1-10): 4 to 5


Woke up this morning and was disappointed to find that I had gained 3.4 pounds overnight. Of course, I knew this would happen, Sandy had warned me it would happen, plus I had tortilla chips and queso yesterday which is full of salt, so why should I be surprised?...still, I AM READY TO SEE SOME RESULTS!!! Tomorrow is my first Daily Loss/Gain Day; hopefully the scales will make me happy in the morning.

Another strange thing this morning was I woke up ravenously THIRSTY! A side effect of the HcG or the salt yesterday???

I was a little apprehensive about today being the first Menu Day and knowing I would only eat about 500 calories all day. It was not as bad as I thought it might be, but I was aware of a vague headache all day long. Nothing earth shattering, but it was definitely there. I also found myself eating baby-sized bites of my lemon-pepper tilapia at lunch, trying to make it last as long as I could. Silly!

Had my first experience with Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette. This was kind of scary because I had read reviews that said these products were dreadful, plus how good can CALORIE FREE salad dressing be. SURPRISE! It was really good... actually reminded me of the Raspberry Vinaigrette at Jason's Deli! I hope I have the same luck with all of the calorie free products I am to use now.

All in all the day was very good. My stomach grumbled some, but nothing I was unable to deal with and because I knew I was limited as too how much I could eat, this may have been a mind thing. Plus, I still have a cup of sugar-free JELLO to look forward to this evening....and hopefully, some good news in the morning!
