Phase 2 days 9 and 10

I had 2 great days. I stayed on track, eating what I was supposed to, drinking tons of water, green tea, coffee. TONS!!

Wednesday, due to what we now call "the donut incident" I was up .8. man. Talk about discouraging!!! It was a problem. I was down all day, but stuck to it.

Thursday, I was down .6. I had been hoping for more. but, it was a loss. A small one, but a loss. I decided to go with it.

On a more "personal" note, I did end up buying the smooth move tea and using in Thursday night. This diet does cause some issues in that area. I thought maybe that had something to do with the low weight loss I had been experiencing.

Friday morning is where I am now. I was down 1 WHOLE POUND today! That makes 10 lbs gone and I still have 2 weeks or so on the diet. I am not setting a for sure end date yet, because I want to see how I continue to do. My original plan was to stop on the 15th of June. That would be 3 weeks on, then I could start maintenance nad be well on maintenance on vacation. However, I am thinking of continuing thru the 22nd. That gives me one more week on HCG, and then we can do maintenance on vacation. I know that sounds silly, but I eat pretty well with Brad around. He really keeps me on task.

So now starts summer vacation and dieting. Movies, swimming, hiking, baseball games, etc. It will be tough, but I think I can do it. No, I know I can do it!

Phase 2 Day 8...a day late

Yesterday was NOT a good day. I was down .4 when I got up, for a total of 9.2. That felt good. I was ready for the day.

I went with the first graders on a field trip, where I had packed my own food. I did a great job of sticking to my diet...not straying. I did start to feel the beginnings of a cold coming on, so it was tough!!

We got back to the school to celebrate summer birthdays. I have a June boy so I was helping. There was cupcakes, cookies, ice cream wtih toppings and candy! It was a PARTY! I had a few strawberries but did really well. Had to go in and out of the lounge where there were cookies, donuts and sushi. this was torture.

On my 3rd trip into the lounge, I lost it...I had 1/2 a donut. Next trip..finished it. It was yummy...but gross at the same time. It just sat in my stomach like punishemnet.

I did good the rest of the day. I decided not to let this set me back. And it didn't. I was up a bit today... (.8) but have done great today! I have stayed on course for the day, have a great dinner planned, and will be back on track. I kind of expect a big loss tomorrow with the smaller amount of food, the more time on my feet and the gallons of water I have been drinking!!
