Monday July 12, 2010. Weight 136.6 (I was up a few pounds after a vacation). This was my first loading day and I ate so much and was so uncomfortable.
7 AM HHCG
7:30 Breakfast: 4 pats of butter, 3 fried eggs with Munster cheese, custard filled doughnut, slice of chocolate cheesecake, a pint of Hagen Daaz dark chocolate mint ice cream (I didn’t know I needed to avoid mint!)
