Day 1 Pre-Load

Got my homeopathic drops in the mail directly from an out-of-state naturopathic center--not ordered from a website. The local centers were too expensive. The mark up is ridiculous, and the difference is the "coaching" and "monitoring." Not too worried about that, so onward I go. The referral for the naturopath came from a friend who had success with the homeopathic drops. I have read the protocol, Dr. Simeon's manuscript, Linda Prinster's book, and have read several websites and blogs. I have made my shopping list and have started thinking about what I want to eat today.

I am anxious to start the process. Thus, I am sitting here at my computer at 3:17 a.m. For the program to work, you have to have 6-8 hrs. of sleep. I am hoping that not getting good sleep the night before I start won't make much of a difference.

The bottle says to take 10 drops 3x/day. I have read on other blogs that some still feel hungry and should start with 15 drops 3x/day. Then, after that if still feeling too hungry, up it to 20 drops 3x/day. I ordered 4 bottles, so I have plenty to last me through a 40 effective day round. I have 50-60 lbs. to lose. I am hoping to drop at least half that weight during my first round. I think I will start with 15 drops, so we will see how that goes.

Today's Agenda:
1. Try to get some sleep before my 1 yr. old daughter wakes up
2. Weigh in and take measurements
3. Start eating 3000 - 4000 calories
4. Go shopping for 500 cal diet food and a mail scale that measures in grams
5. Drink lots of water
6. Get organized--maybe even start creating 100g protein portions and freezing

So, to quote the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland . . . "Here we goooooooo!" Or, maybe here I go is more appropriate. Either way, wish me luck!
