A Brief diet Update

My 2 gorge days were this past Fri & Sat.  I gained 2 lbs from those days.  I weighed myself before the gorge days and based on that number I have lost 5 lbs.  I'm below my last injection weight in July too.  Mom has now lost 3 lbs.  It's a very good thing to see her have results. 

The downside is I don't feel very good with the low calorie diet.  I feel lethargic and just not very enthused about doing it this time but perhaps in a couple days, when I get a food routine happening because I'll be at work I may feel better.  I've had 2 days off with not much activity except being on the computer, perhaps that's why.

HCG diet - revisited

Tomorrow I will be starting another course of the hCG injection diet.  I'm only doing 23 days this time and am aiming for a 23-25 lbs loss.  The twist?  My mom will be doing it with me but she'll be using the drops instead.
I don't think I'll be journalling daily about the diet this time...perhaps a couple times a week instead. 

Mom and I went grocery shopping today to have stuff for our 2 gorge days.  I grabbed caramel & toffee crunch ice cream, reece pieces, 2 large muffins, garlic alfredo sauce for a pasta dinner, and pizza pops.  I already have tortilla chips and salsa.

I can't wait to lose this next amount....I'm hoping to weigh between 185-190 lbs and that would be awesome!  Then I'll go clothing shopping!  And if all goes well my last time to do the diet will be in the new year and I should be around 150-160 lbs.  This goal is actually in my sights!

Whale Watching in Tofino

Whale watching in Tofino....Those survival suits sure were hot!

 There were a couple bunches of otters but when our boat came close, they disappeared under water except just one.  A while back, an environmentalist boat had come and was tagging the otters and putting them back in the water so now they're a bit spooked by boats and don't stay around when they appear.

 Grey whales

 Check out my 'comb-over'! Was very windy with the speeds we travelled at.

 I didn't know we'd see sea lions so it was a nice surprise.  They were very vocal letting us know "don't get too close".  They were huge!  I enjoyed watching them the most.

The beginning of sunset.

Humpback whales too.

 A nice sunset.

On the Road to Tofino

 This was a nice rest stop on the island hwy on the way to Tofino.

 Our picnic lunch we ate at the rest stop.  "Surfer dudes" at Chesterman Beach. 

 I wasn't actually at Long Beach but had to identify where I was anyways;

plus "Chesterman" was too long to spell out and take a picture of.

 

Check out the 'head depot'....click on picture to read about it. 

 We went to the Wickinninish Inn for a gourmet breakfast.  The breakfast was $19, homemade juice $4, and coffee $4.25....a total of $27.25 each (exclud tax & tip).  Seriously?!  Coffee....$4.25! 

The lady that gave me my spa treatments said it's made of gold....wouldn't doubt it. 

Check out my pedicured toes...pretty!  Love the coulur.
