Oh the joys

The joys of being a woman! AF visited me today..fun fun! A few days ago, my weight was down to 241.6 -woot- I hadn't weighed myself in a couple of days because 1 day, I had just taken a shower (the scale is downstairs) and wet hair would certainly not give me an accurate weight, another day, I forgot my injection, and the third day, I just forgot..or maybe I subconsciously knew I would be having a visitor soon which was almost certain to bring a gain. I was right. During round 1, I gained 10 pounds and it felt horrible! After much discussion with my doctor, I felt better that it was strictly water weight due to my cycle. This time, I am pleased to say, it was *only* 2 pounds :) Again, I'm *hoping* this is water weight. I have been getting off course a bit the last couple of days with bites here and there of "forbidden" foods. Literally bites but sometimes that is all it takes. And since AF made her apprearance today, I will be stopping the injections until she leaves or I start to feel hungry again.

Oh and on a side note, if I didn't have children and other responsibilities, I would put my butt back in bed with a heating pad and a good book! Today should be fun!

And now I'll leave you with a new hCG friendly-but good just because-smoothie recipe I found last night :)

Strawberry Lemon Smoothie

*Handful of strawberries-stem cut off* (On protocol, you are allowed 5 strawberries)
*Juice from 1/2 of a lemon*
*1-2 handfuls of ice*
*water (about 3/4c)
*2 packets of Stevia/Truvia* (Off protocol, any zero calorie sweetener would work)

Blend and enjoy! Oh and if you use frozen fruit, you won't need as much ice :)
