DAY 3

8:00 a.m.: I’m sitting at my desk, having just finished my orange and Melba toast. I’m wondering how so little will sustain me until noon. My usual breakfast has been a protein shake. It was not your run-of –the-mill protein shakes. Skim milk, protein powder, fiber, 1 C frozen berries and 1 TLB peanut butter. SIL said the HCG will help control the appetite. I’m crossing my fingers.

I decided this morning that as long as I am starting a body transformation, it would also be a good time to begin a spiritual transformation as well. I am not very good at reading my scriptures every day. [that means I really stink at it] I received a blessing from the Bishop yesterday pertaining to my new calling, and he mentioned that I needed to be reading my scriptures daily. I know the Lord knows I am pathetically weak in that area, so He wants me to ‘step it up’ a notch. Okay. I committed in my morning prayers to doing just that. When you work full time, it’s so easy to make excuses about not having time, or being too tired. Well, excuses aside - - I am going to do better!

12:00 p.m. - HUNGRY! I thought the shot was supposed to curb appetite. Physically I am really ready for food. The department is buying lunch today, but I brought my own.

12:30 p.m. – 3.5 oz chicken breast tenders
Roma tomato marinated in lime juice,
½ yellow pepper.

5:00 p.m. – busy day, not too much time this afternoon to think about food. Scratch that; I was thinking about it all the time, just didn’t have time to do anything about it. I finally cut up an apple around 4:00, but between phone calls it was after 5:00 before I finished it.

7:00 p.m. - Hubby and I prepared a salad for dinner, with a small side of cooked asparagus.
3.5 oz grilled chicken breast
lettuce
cucumber
orange pepper
spinach
We found some dressings at the health food store that have no calories, no fats, no carbs, but taste surprisingly good. We put some on our salads. He was still hungry after finishing, but I was full.

8:30 p.m. - Time for my fiber. 12 oz. water mixed with 1 scoop Tahitian Noni juicy orange fiber. Only 10 calories and a good scrub brush for the system. [not on the official diet, but I’m unwilling to give up this important part of my day]

9:00 p.m. - A hot cup of Tahitian Noni Founder’s tea sweetened with stevia hit the spot. AHHHHHHHH.
