The journey continues...

Day 5 - Went off without a hitch.  I had an early morning craving for KFC's mashed potatoes and gravy.  Not a family size, an individual size would have done the trick.  Popcorn chicken on the side would have been heaven.  I ate my morning snack of an apple and a few pieces on Melba.  Surprisingly, I was satisfied.  Dinner of chicken and tomato.  Late night craving of anything with cheese.

When it was time to administer the shot, I was all alone.  My live-in was gone and my friend was 20 miles away.  I loaded the needle, cleaned the area, pinched the flab where I was to inject, and poke! It was over and I did it myself. That actually felt good.

Day 6 - I started this blog last night which was technically, per the clock, was Day 6. Woke up today not hungry but decided to have my red apple and some water.  I showered and weight myself.  Surprisingly down 2.2 pounds from yesterday.  That is a grand total of 6.6 pounds since this diet began.  Just a side note, I am taking a jam packed multi-vitamin to make sure my body is getting what it needs.

Just took stock of my refrigerator.  I still have loads of greens left, grilled chicken, fresh spinach, strawberries, unsweetened iced tea and water.  Injection will need to be administered at 7PM, local time. I am doing it myself tonight with no concern or anxiety.

I am not a fan of fish at all.  If I were, it definitely would have been an option for a protein.  Can I do 42 days of grilled chicken?  I'm not sure yet but I am just going to take this day by day.
