Weight - 316, down .6 pounds from yesterday, 18.2 from end of loading phase.
Hunger - I feel about the same as I have. Like I'm being restrained from eating but it's working. I don't have any conscious need to eat. Just an unconscious feeling like I should be eating a lot more. I work today so hopefully the day goes by quickly. Going to try going to 3 drops a day today.

Meal#1 - FYV Beef Sliders with Garlic Spinach - 11am

Summary - I started my Metoprolol back up on Thursday per my cardiologists instructions. He wants me taking it for another 3 months, 25mg twice a day. I had stopped taking it about half way through my first week of Shape and was feeling great with no abnormal heart rhythms. Both yesterday and this morning I have felt a rapid heart beat. I'm hoping that my body is just getting used to the medicine and will regulate soon. I will keep monitoring and if I'm having this often I'll call the cardiologist next week.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
After some prayer with my brother in law I had a great day. No heart issues. I enjoyed both of my FYV meals. I've been on a meat and tomato roll lately (the homemade pot roast, creole chicken, etc.) and though I wasn't a huge tomato fan previously they have been very tasty. I am a big fan of spinach so I was stoked to have some today. I'm also a big asparagus fan. Prior to Shape I would have a kale or spinach shake with banana, protein powder and almond milk - which I will go back to once I graduate. I'm looking at Shape like a Master's program in getting my health back. One day at a time!
3 drops worked fine today, I wasn't starving or anything. I will continue to monitor and if my meal times creep early in the day and I end up with too much day left and too little meal I will use 4 drops as needed. I don't want it to be a crutch as I'm into week 2 of the program. I see Dr. Yarger again on the 24th for my first checkup and I'm excited to show her my progress and also see how I'm doing. Hopefully I can keep it up and show her even more progress in the next 10 days. The last 10 have been amazing with over 18 pounds lost. God is good :)
