VLCD day 15.
Ironically I talked about not cheating because it’s like wasting injections.. and then on Saturday I cheated. As far as cheats go it wasn’t HUGE.. but still off plan.
Let’s see.
Friday F and I move stuff from one storage unit to another. That was 2.5 hrs of very hard work. I should have eaten before we went. But I didn’t. I hadn’t realized how weak I am from this low calorie stuff. I guess it’s a good thing I have a desk job and don’t really do manual labor. About half way through moving the units I was at the end of my energy reserves. I didn’t faint or pass out.. but I definitely felt weak..and a bit shaky.. and I was VERY glad when we were done. That said, Friday I stayed on plan.
Saturday we left early in the morning for A&S. As I said before, I packed a cooler. I ate lunch at about noon.. and had dinner at about 6. It was REALLY hot at the evend and although I drank A LOT of water throughout the day I was terribly dehydrated (orange pee). At the end of the Day F invited a few people to join us for dinner at Black Bear diner. Even though I’d already eaten my dinner I went along with it. I ended up ordering a senior sirloin with side salad. So aside from eating a complete meal that wasn’t on plan, the only off-plan food I ate was about 1 tablespoon of 1000 Island dressing about 1/3 of a corn muffin. Both tasted heavenly.
Sunday morning we got up early and headed back to the event. Since F is the Captain of the Queen’s Guard he needed to be there to break down the royal encampment. After we were done breaking down F invited Fred, a friend, to join us for lunch and even though I had my lunch in the cooler already I joined them in having lunch at Outback steakhouse. I had Seared Mahi with greenbeans (no butter, no oil). I did restrain myself and didn’t have any of the free bread.. but I’m pretty sure green beans are off plan.. and I’m not entirely certain Mahi is a “lean” white fish. That said.. neither was particularly tasty.. so I guess I’ll pass on them in the future. For dinner we grilled up some hamburgers. I had a grilled Bison burger, grill asparagus and strawberries.. so totally back on plan.
This morning I woke up dreading a gain.. rightfully after two days I should be down 2 lbs.. but with Saturday’s cheat I’m happy to report a 0.5 lb loss. Also, I started my period this morning. So .. um yeah for having a functional female body (which hasn’t freaked out at the VLCD).
Today was back to the plan. I think I have ~12 more injections left. I woke up feeling a bit under the weather.. but was feeling better by noon. I do think I’m short on water today though.
