Hi Y'all,
I realized I didn't even post my yesterday's progress. I was such an emotional wreck.... I think I was just running on automatic. I had a small loss yesterday, but no loss today. Probably because I had corned beef and cabbage for dinner last night. Not exactly Dr. S protocol.... But what the hey, St Patrick's Day only comes once a year... and I must say, I AM an Irish girl!
So today I stuck with the program - Coffee for breakfast, stewed tomatoes and chicken for lunch, chicken and asparagus for dinner - an apple snack and NO WINE! LOL
So hopefully tomorrow will be a new day! I only have two more days of hgc and then it's P3. I am going to have to read up on that, as this is the first time I've been through this protocol. I know I need to keep to the vlcd for 72 hours once I am off the stuff!
Becca... Thank you so much for the kind words and support. That one was a lot to swallow for sure! I REALLY wasn't ready for that one.... and not ready to let go of my "little" boy (6'0 - 225lbs). I am pretty sure that once he goes, he's going for good. (I mean out of the nest wise.) So my heart is really hurting. I was expecting to let go a little more slowly.... you know, go to college...back home for breaks, etc.
The Army promised Alex a Communications Security Specialist job. He would be the guy that would keep the wireless communications systems secure. It sounds fairly technical and he would be classified for a Top Secret rating. He will also train as a "Ranger" which apparently is an elite squadron. They "say" that they will give him a $35,000 signing bonus and also he would qualify for up to $78,000 in college money through the GI bill, once he completes his first term (6 years). But who knows? The GI bill HAS disappeared in the past, so that may just be pie in the sky.
Anyway.... I appreciate your prayers! :)

I hope your emotions have smoothed out, Liz. it is hard when the kids leave the nest and go off on their own and you never quit worrying about them. Mine are adults with children of their own, but they will always be my babies. I hope your aching goes quickly, but can surely sympathize. 18 is still just a baby, even though I'm sure Alex doesn't think so. There is so much out in the world. I do know that David (husband) still talks about when he was in the service. He had some of the best days of his life.
It sounds as though Alex will be training for a very good position that will serve him well even after the service. Wireless communications will be a great career field.
Is today your LIW? It is mine, which means very low calorie continues through Saturday and then on Sunday I can have deviled eggs. I'm really looking forward to that, as well as creamy salad dressings. I don't use much dressing on my salad, but I'm looking forward to being able to have it.
It won't be long until I am looking forward to being back on P2.
How long of a break are you planning before going back onto P2? Do I remember correctly that you are planning on starting back in the first part of May? That's about the time I am planning on starting back.
