I had a pretty boring day yesterday, but it was restful. I got to clean my house a bit, and I'm really settling into my VLCD. I have committed the allowed foods to memory and I have a few meals that I enjoy that are easy to prepare. I've got a nice little comfort with it now. That's a good thing because today will be my first social test. It's one of my friend's birthday today & we always go to a brunch at a hotel in the area. I may go off the diet a bit for the first time. I've pretty much decided to get an egg white omlet made with onions and peppers. I know they're going to make the omelet with butter, but I'll tell them to go easy on it. I'll drink coffee and water. Hopefully they'll have an apple or orange that I can grab with that & I won't eat any other meat today. That's the plan, hopefully I can stick to it.
I've decided that every other sunday will be picture and measurment day so here they are.

Oh yeah... I did a hot oil treatment on my hair with baby oil yesterday. It worked great! It helped my hair to hold in moisture and it was much less brittle this morning. I also used the brilliantine today. I love it... it's just what I need for daily use & it smells nice too.
In response to yesterday's comments:
Biz - I know I'm all over the place & I know I need to just let the protocol do what it does, but it's hard to not speculate about what I might be doing wrong. I am going to lower my dosage though.
Jennifer - You are so right. It is loaded with salt & it's got MSG too. Thanks for calling me on that because I didn't check before, but just for you I went and found a recipe for homeade old bay online today. I'm going to try it and if it's good, I'll post it later. I need to get a few more spices first though.
maryg911 - wow... another eye twitcher? That's why I try to post all of my experiences. It feels good to have company in little things like that.
ewewho - I will definately be getting frozen shrimp from sams or bj's. They're probably less expensive that way. Thank YOU for the info.
