More daunting mistakes!
I’m incredibly embarrassed about my mistakes. It really is no rocket science to follow the recipes and the protocol but, sure enough, the Math/Science nit wit in me made the following mistakes:
1. mis-measured the doses and mix because I was reading the rubber topper at the wrong end, meaning I was under-dosing. I used the top of the rubber topper in the syringes as a guide. When in reality, I should’ve used the bottom end of the rubber stopper. Pretty logical. But hey, I’m not a genius.
2. This one is probably even more lame. Because I hate to add and multiply, I just assumed (out of sheer laziness) that I was only allowed to eat 1 oz. of vegetable per meal. Jules told me specifically to count the calories of each meal. But more Math? I thought to myself. So I just said, “well, a serving is an oz. so one serving must be what I ought to eat.” Surely, that one serving of vegetable at the measly one ounce was making me extremely hungry! I go back now to look at my notes and I was only consuming less than 300 calories each day!!! omg! No wonder I was super grouchy and grumpy. I blew up on my kids a couple of times for no other reason than lack of patience. GUILT!
It was not until I went on vacation with Jules this week that I realized my mistakes. So now that I’m back on the proper protocol, I’ve lost 9.2 lb.s since starting it! And sure enough, this is the week I’ve seen the most amount of weight loss! I’ve lost on average of 1 lb. a day!!!
And now that I’m doing the protocol properly, I feel pretty darn good compared to my misery the 1st week. I can definitely do this!!!
