Feels like longer! Yesterday I had a little more energy, but today...not. Feeling pretty lethargic, actually (and hungry). I've talked to a few people who have done the hcg diet and they all agree with me, that the press saying you won't feel hungry and will feel great is crap.
But, I have lost 5#. Sure, most of it has to be water, but even so--5#! It shows in my face. One thing all the doctors agree upon, I do retain a lot of water. I agree, and most of it is in my face (and hands). Not pretty.
Ok, I promised I'd mention the baked apple thing. This has been a breakthrough this cycle, and I intend to eat them when I'm not on the hcg cycle. You take an apple, chop it up, add a little water, few drops of stevia, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Bake it for about half an hour. It smells great, and is sort of like an applesauce/apple pie hybrid (without the crust). It makes me feel like I ate something, which is nice when I'm constantly hungry. So far, when I'm home, I have them for breakfast and my afternoon snack. I'm sure the newness will wear off, but for now....yum.
Still suffering with the tendonitis. Ironic, ME getting tennis elbow. I haven't played tennis since the 80s. It does irk me because Anna's birthday is coming up and I have STUFF to do. Not to mention the regular stuff. I had planned to do lots of house stuff this weekend, but now most of it can't happen. Lame. Well, I'd better go. Typing is one of those things that makes it hurt more.
I'm so glad this cycle is short. Right now, I'm so ready to be done! Hungry, fatigued, hurty (my favorite Po the panda word). But it seems necessary. I may never be thin, but I'm gonna leave it all on the field.
