Day 8- NYC!

Hello hello!

Well, I broke down and weighed myself today. I do not own a scale, but my parents have one at their house and I was really interested to see how much I weighed. Just as some background- Over the winter I got to my heaviest at 160, and before that when I was on the HCG diet I got down to 140 and that was the best I've looked in my life. I weighed in at 147 this morning, which is actually exactly where I wanted to be. And now I will not have access to a scale until I come back to visit for thanksgiving/christmas, so I guess my goal will be to get back down to my lowest weight at 140 by then- or maybe even lower! (fingers crossed). Also, I went shopping at Tommy Hilfiger today (my friend works there and got me a 40% discount- not really a store that I shop at too often though). I was very excited that I was able to buy a pair of size 6 jeans. I haven't been able to fit into a 6 since last summer.

Today, Alison and I are going into NYC for the evening. We are trying to find a good raw restaurant to go to- I'm thinking either Quintessence or Rawkin' Raw. I know that these are all gourmet raw restaurants, but I have been REALLY low on my fats the entire week, so I am going to let myself go a little crazy tonight with my dinner. I am going to avoid overts, but I am not going to try to stay away from nuts. I think that is fair.

As for my eats for the rest of the day:

Breakfast:

6 oranges juiced

Lunch:

3 bananas plus 4-5 bananas to make banana icecream

Snack:

Probably will bring 10 dates and some apples to the city with me

I will update you all on what I got for dinner later. :)

update: So the night started out with great eating, as we found a fruit stand and I tried a whole bunch of exotic fruits :). It was really cool. Then we went to the restaurant and I started to realize that EVERYTHING was going to have tons of overts in it, even the salad. I ended up having the fettucini alfredo (just zucchini in a cream sauce), a small salad, and then split a dessert with alison and her boyfriend afterwards. It was such little food,but ended up costing me $30- not really thrilled about that. And not thrilled about how I was feeling afterwards. But I guess it was just a really expensive lesson to learn :)

Comment by DURIANRIDER on September 1, 2012 at 12:19am: Remember that gourmet raw is loaded with salt typically and salt means salt retention if you aint running or cycling it out the next day. For many people there excess weight is just excess salt.

Give it potentially a few years for your body to heal after HCG abuse. That stuff REALLY fcuks up ones hormones. Im overdue doing a vid on the HCG scam.
