Day 2 - Loading

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I'm now on Day 2, which lucky for me is still at loading day because last night I ate like it was my job. Everything from flat iron steaks to yummy, creamy appetizers, to desserts for an army. I didn't feel guilty at all about it because I am doing exactly what this plan is requesting of me. For once, it felt nice to indulge with my family and not feel bad or come down on myself. This is a great feeling, even though the weight loss has not yet begun.

On that note, Tomorrow is only a day away. I can't believe that I will go from eating pierogies dipped in butter to grilled lean meat and veggies only in less than 24 hours. What a radical change! Thank goodness I will have my blog to keep me accounted for, as I will not let you down.

I want to continue a note from yesterday about the difficulty of keeping the drops under your tongue with all the saliva building. I find that doing a hard swallow right before a or forceful spit (again, sorry to sound dirty!) helps. I wasn't making a conscious effort yesterday to get my mouth as dry as possible before administering the drops, but today was much easier. I've been keeping the drops in for about 7-10 minutes, and today I decided to swallow them after the time was up - this was a result of some online research and my friend swallows them as well. I figure it can't really hurt because by that time, they're watered down a bit anyway. Note: Usually, I'll put them in and then go do something such as take a bath or check my email so that I'm not counting down the clock.

Also wanted to comment there's a slight tingle/burn (don't freak out, nothing painful) that hits that part of your mouth when you apply the drops. I reminds me of how your gums feel when you put white strips on.
I have one more set to today, then tomorrow begins with purchasing a food scale from Bed Bath and Beyond before lunch time and preparing my first meal on the HCG diet plan. I will let you know what brand/model number I purchase in case you are interested in the same...not planning on spending more than $20 for this.

Hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas, I know my wish will come true starting this week.
