Locked, Aimed and PREPARED for LOADING...
Foods I Will Load With
After my research today I went to the store and picked up - are you ready... I hope I don't make myself sick eating so much food :-/
- Olives
- Canned Red Salmon
- Coconut Milk w/OJ for mock pina coladas (I guess they'd be orange coladas :D)
- Heavy Cream
What I already had:
- Pot Roast make gravy from drippings
- Potatoes
- Walnuts
After vacation I'll get:
- Avocado's and eat with sour cream (full fat kind)
- Hummus (as it has olive oil & tahini) w/ pita bread (YUMMY)
- Maybe bannanas
ALMOST PREPPED
On the advise of some other HCG Challenger's I am pre-bagging all my meats. I'm mostly going to stick with Chicken and Beef with the occasional change with eggs & cottage cheese for variety. I have almost all my meat bagged and frozen for the 6 weeks - I thought I'd bought enough and had only enough for 20 days on the chicken and 19 on the beef. Tomorrow, I commence with more bagging and freezing so I will be ready and raring to go when I get back from vacation!!!
KEEPING CLEAN
Okay - nobody wants to smell during this process and I don't want to be dry and ashy either. So, I am going to make up some scrub ~ I'll let you know how this turns out too :D If it feels completely gross or not :-/
Body Salt Scrub
Mineral Oil (1 full container)
Kosher Salt (it's slightly coarse) Almost 3 lbs
1 quart jar
"No-Poo" - So Far - LOVE IT!!!
The baking soda paste worked!!! I tried it last night and my-oh-my. I utilized the apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinse too. My hair has not looked this good in years. It is bright and shiny and doesn't look frizzy at all. One note - from what I have read - if you have naturally curly hair as my children do you will want to moisturize with coconut oil (CO) first then do the baking soda. Also, from my reading and research people that do this only need to "wash" their hair once as week or less once their body gets used to the concept of normalizing its own pH and oils. I did experience a bit of the itchiness this morning but the rest of the day I was fine.
Deoderant I Use
I love this deoderant - the fragerance is very light and it staves off the odor. I've used it for years. It does not have any aluminum which is a huge plus. I had Cindy take a look at the ingrediants and it's okay to use throughout the phases. Also, it lasts for about 6 - 8 months...

Hi Toni,
Love reading your blog - you've been a busy girl! One suggestion my doctor friend and his wife (who have both been through the protocol) had was for "pre-loading" by doubling up on the Omega-3 (fish oil) supplements, and also taking some coconut oil daily (either straight, spread on bread, or used in cooking) in the time leading up to Phase 2. Supposedly, this will help some with the dry skin issue, too.
Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. Best of luck for achieving great results with the Challenge!
Thanks Susan - I will have to try those suggestions. The coconut oil and ACV make me gag - but I will gag it down :-/... Some of those things that are good for us we just HAVE TO DO!!! I also have some UDO's oil in the fridge - guess I will just finish that up - only scary thing is will it give me issues (the trotts?) we will have to see :-{... It's strange your comments post didn't get sent to my email hmmmmmm... I'll have to keep an eye on that...
