Remembering things.......

Today I was at 248.2 which is .2 over my LIW. I was afraid that I blew it. I worked a banquet and all they had to offer was basically a Thanksgiving dinner without the salad. So that is what I had. I took a little bit of turkey, I tried the mashed potatoes, the stuffing and the dressing. I also had a piece of the cherry pie. Well, I didn't eat it all......it just didn't taste that good to me. I tasted and then I was satisfied. Not even what I would have picked anymore. I wanted my salad and just the protein that I would have chosen. It is funny how my eating habits have changed and I don't even want the other stuff anymore. I will taste it, but so far, I have ended up throwing more of it away than what I will eat because it just doesn't taste good to me anymore.
Tonight we went out, and I ordered an omelet, (3 egg white) with tomatoes, cheese, onions, mushrooms, and olives in it. It was good, but again, it left me wishing that I had just gotten a salad. I am on P3, so I didn't eat anything that I wasn't allowed to have. I gave the toast to my husband who didn't get his bread with his meal, and left the hash browns there. I was very satisfied and wasn't worried about saving it.
After we got home, I was looking on my site that I visit regularly, about this "diet" and I came across a post that hit home to me. It was about blurred vision.... I didn't think about it back then (2-3 weeks ago) but after reading it, I knew that I had to respond. So I did and here is a copy of what I wrote
" too had a problem with blurred vision for about a week. I was really worried, but I didn't think that it was because of the HCG.So I went back to the eye doctor and he told me that if I was getting off of sugars, that it would clear itself up, but in the meantime, just to wear my reading glasses......or just some generic ones. I bought 3 pairs at the Dollar General, and wore them until my vision cleared up. I now see even better than I did before it happened, and until now, I didn't ever think to blog it in my challenge.......HMMM that was kind of dumb of me........I should have put it in there....." so there it is. I told the doctor that I was losing weight and not eating sugars, and he said that explained it. It made sense to me. I had been diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, but am not taking any medications for it, so it made sense. Anyway, that is the story.
Not much else is happening. We are supposed to go to Arizona this weekend for a family reunion. I dont know if we will make it or not, so there is a possibility that I won't post for a few days. If not, I hope everyone has a great weekend and holiday.

Dawna - I'm so glad you posted about the blurred vision. My eyes have actually improved since being on this protocol - I had my prescription checked on Wednesday, and never thought that it had anything to do with this protocol. Excellent post - you're doing great, Girl!

hey if you do some more research onto hcg pregnyl you can find that blurred/blurry vision, its part of a side effect/symptom, nothing to worry about but ive never heard of people improving their vision, thats pretty cool but it might be temporary. Thanks for posting about it.
