FatBoy Day 31

Today, we will be going to NYC and for the 1st time in 10 years I am below 200 lbs at 199.  Unbelievable!  Who knew after all these years of busting my butt in the gym playing basketball, racquetball, swimming, and spin class that all it would take is this little bottle and a diet?  I feel almost cheated that this wasn’t made available to me sooner!  Why isn’t this diet popularized in the media more?  I have found the cure for the common fatman!  We are maintaining the HCG drops as long as we can especially now that the results are happening so rapidly.
UPDATE: We were unable to make our flight as a blizzard decided to show it’s ass in the northeast, and consequently all plans changed.  While we arrived early for the earliest flight that morning and was able to get the earliest guaranteed flight 3 days in the future, there was no amount of waiting in that airport that was going to get a plane to NYC that day.  After several hours of just that in futile hope, a close-living friend offered to pick us up saving us time and cab money, and another let us stay with them and partied with us all night until the next day.  We had a blast with all of them and they know who they are and they are true friends.  
              After arriving at the airport at the crack of dawn again, we were told without a shadow of a doubt that there was no way they could tell us anything of value and that we could always wait in standby… Finally, as unexpected as it was at this point another couple invited us to lunch and we eventually landed back at their place where, in addition to spending the night, they offered us a place to keep the car saving us long-term parking fees!  Its times like these that in all seriousness, I feel truly blessed.  
              As far as the diet is concerned, these 2 days I haven’t been the strictest.  I cheated with some fried chicken and some higher calorie meals.  By day 32, as a result of bottle trauma we both discontinue HCG and begin the 3 days of VLCD alone.  By this time I am 195lbs, almost a full 25lb weight loss and the feeling of accomplishment is special.  My wife has also lost 20lbs and you can probably imagine the ancillary benefits (cue the music) of thatJ.  This is an illustration done by a buddy of mine to show how daddy rolls at the house when the kids aren't around!
