So I realized that I am reporting on two days at once starting tomorrow, thus the blog is named as it is. Yesterday was a lot of fun, eating all kinds of stuff. I was a bit disappointed that my company party was canceled due to the weather, but the lasagna I made was incredible! First time and I didn't break any noodles. :) I also had everything I wanted, including tons of Hershey Hugs, a no-bake cheesecake that will be gone by tonight, conversation hearts, cookies, french toast, eggs, and tapioca pudding. With everything that I read, it all said that most first-timers' biggest mistake is not gorging enough. I may be stubborn, but I did not hold back on the gorging. Of course, since Justin didn't read everything I did he has been hesitant and still counting calories, but I managed to stuff him to the point of nausea both last night and so far today. We've eaten almost the entire 9X13 lasagna, the rest of the cheesecake and Hugs, crescent rolls, and tuna steaks covered in butter (cooking right now).
Now I did want to explain some logic as to why we started the gorge days on Saturday. Cat, you can attest to this, it is hard as crap to feed your kids yummy food and not even taste it! So, instead of torturing myself all weekend while possibly being hungry, we started on the weekend. That, and my holiday party was scheduled for yesterday and I didn't want to be that person who didn't eat anything at the party. Too much negative attention. Speaking of the the holiday party, it got moved to February 19th or 20th. And it just so happens that that is the weekend I will be moving into phase three. I'll get to just look like a picky eater and still get to enjoy the Way overpriced food. :) Plus, I'll be 20 pounds thinner; non-believers, lick my a**!
Tomorrow is the first day of the reduced calories part, and I have a couple question thats you HCG veterans may be able to answer for me. One: Can I microwave my pre-cooked 100 grams of meat for lunch tomorrow? We are steaming everything tonight and packing our lunches this week and I know the book is very against microwaving things. I don't really want to eat my meat cold, but I will if necessary. I am not worried about the veggies, I made it a point to plan veggies to eat raw while we are at work and the ones we can cook at night. Two: can I really use Stevia as much as I want? It makes the tea that much better... And three: Can I get some clarification on the acceptable amount of exercise allowed? The book encouraged weight lifting and strength training, but doesn't specifically ban cardio. Justin has been exercising religiously and wants to continue to do so. I told him to do what he could without making himself sick. I also want to do at least a little exercise myself. Thanks, your wisdom is greatly appreciated!!
Last topic; my strategy for the week. Since my job sucks and I don't have actual work to do, I have several books to keep me distracted. Actually, one is sort of smartass in it's intent. It's called; "How to tame your opinionated tongue, especially when you are right." Then I also have Harry Potter #7 and an Office Etiquette book. If I am lucky, the executives will have signed the new office lease and I will start to have some work coordinating furniture and what not soon. But don't get me started on that... Basically, my strategy is to keep myself distracted.
Justin and I will be taking before pictures tonight and will post them if we get brave, most likely at the end.
Now off to get the kids out of the tub.

Load Day 1
Weight: 171.8
The first shot just proves, the shots aren't bad at all. :) So far things are going well. We had 5 pieces of french toast covered in jelly and 3 scrambled eggs with goat cheese for breakfast. I've got my bag of Hershey Hugs to enjoy today, as well as conversation hearts. For lunch the kids and I are having fresh tapioca pudding and vanilla wafers. As soon as the kids go down for a nap I'm going to make a lasagna and no-bake cheesecake. So even if this crappy snow keeps us in, we'll have a good dinner. I am really hoping the snow doesn't keep my truffles from coming over tonight. :)
On a side note, why on earth don't any of the grocery stores carry Necco conversation hearts anymore?!?!?! I love those and can't find them anywhere. Punks.
Nothing else exciting, more tomorrow.

HCG Eve
Last Known Weight: 172.0
Height: 5'10"
Heaviest Non-Pregnant Weight Ever: 177.5
Goal: 140
Now a bunch of my friends have told me the same thing all 'mostly skinny' women hear: "You don't need to diet, you look great!" Or, "Just watch what you eat and cut out sugar for a couple days." And depending on the day, I believe them. But just like every other woman, I have the idea in my head that I should be super thin in order to be more successful. I already got a boob job to 'increase success' so losing weight and gaining muscle tone should be understandable. On top of that, we all crave a little control, and right now, how I look is what I can control with the least amount of stress. Bring on the HCG!!
Today is like Christmas Eve: It's almost here, I can feel it, but still one more day, time is going so slow... And I am not sure how other people doing the HCG diet felt on their eve, but I am UNBELIEVABLY excited for gorge days!!! Two days of Having to eat the fattiest things possible?!? It really is a dream come true, and a nice one at that, since these foods will never be a part of my life again. These feelings make me understand that the altered foods we eat really are made to be addictive. Just so you know, here are the foods I already have lined up to eat this weekend: Warm, fresh tapioca pudding and french toast for breakfast, the world's biggest cheeseburger and greasy fries for lunch, cookie dough throughout the day, conversation hearts (because they will never be organic), no-bake cheesecake, whipped cream, fettuccine alfredo, and a bag of Hershey's Hugs. And that's just Saturday. Ah, it's going to be so great!
One interesting thing is that my husband, Justin, is also going to do this diet with me. And he is doing it blindly; hasn't read all the material, he's just trusting it/me. I hope that his lack of information doesn't make him too prone to cheat. I've told him a bunch that even the slightest cheat can make that day a total waste. He has amazing amounts of self control when it comes to food, so we'll see how he does. I think he'll be most amazed at his transformation.
Tonight we are mixing our first batch of HCG. God bless Youtube. I didn't really know what I was doing when I ordered our stuff, just faithfully ordered the same thing as Cat. Since she did an entire 45 cycle, I thought that that would be the right about for Justin and I to each do 26 days. Now I know that 26 days will most likely yield between 23 - 28 pounds each and I want to lose a total of 32, but I also know that I tend to make my goals higher than seem accomplishable.
Did I mention that part of the deal of Justin doing HCG with me is that I have to do P90X with him? Yes, of course, and his sounds hard... So those 'other' 5-10 pounds that I will still want to shed will come off with the P90X. Basically, by June I will have Jennifer Aniston's body. :)
I also wanted to comment that I noted my height for a reason. It frustrates me to no end that on The Biggest Loser you have no idea how tall the people are, you only know their weight. This season the mom on the pink team looks like she is about 4'8" and she started at just over 200. On someone my size that isn't nearly as significant as someone her size. With that said, I am also noting that it isn't realistic to think I will ever be below 140 pounds. Models who are 120 have much thinner bones than I do.
Alright, on to lunch...
