Day 14-Go ME!!

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I blame the time change. Have you noticed the days seem to fly by now? This week was slow in regards to my weight, my loss slowed a little but I learned that’s normal when your monthly visitor comes around.

I found a forum on hcgdietinfo.com and am hooked! I have learned so much from it already and its a great support group!

I was really worried about Saturday because we had an all day retreat and they were having goodies and lunch. I decided to have “an apple day” to make it easier since I couldn’t eat their lunch anyways. Let me tell you about my day…

Saturday

Morning: Everything going well. They had a table full of fruits, doughnuts, breakfast bars but I’m strong. I have my water and made me some green tea. I’m glad I brought my lemon drop Stevia so I could sweeten my tea. I grab an apple, but can’t eat it till noon.

Midmorning: They are making lunch and its starting to smell really good! But the smell also reminds me of my grandma when she use to make me Malt-o-Meal….wonder what they’re making.

Lunchtime: Oh its Lasagna, I can deal with that. OOOO but they have homemade fresh brownies and they smell really good! Maybe I will sit in the car. I already had one apple.

Well the boyfriend gave up Lasagna for Lent (thought it was just pizza but he said it includes lasagna). I take him to McDonalds and we drive back to the church school. I ate another apple and feel full but I still can’t stand sitting in the car with the smell of Chicken Nuggets and a Quarter Pounder so I tell him I’m going inside and to lock up the car. That mental hunger is one strong sucker!

Afternoon: We are sitting I can see the snack table and the brownies are still there. I can smell them and just want a small taste…Oooooo my man just got a brownie, let me go steal a tiny corner to taste…..MMMM that was good. Not even enough to swallow, just let it sit on my tongue.

Mid-afternoon: I think that “taste” was a bad idea because now I want to eat one soo bad! I can smell the brownies every once in a while. For all you Twilight fans-I feel like Edward when he first smelt Bella!! I think I will get a cup of coffee so I can smell that instead. Eating another apple-I feel stuffed!

Evening: Wow I made it through that! Now we are off to church then home….

I asked my honey what he wanted for dinner and he said KFC-here we go again with tempting smells. We get through the drive through and I realize my limits are beginning to thin. Since its an apple day I can’t even go home and have my own chicken…ugh!!

Ok I get home and breakdown-this day has been uber tough! I cry and my babe holds me and tells me how proud he is that I’m doing this and how strong I am. He also points out where he can tell I have lost weight. I feel better and go take a shower. I hope tomorrow is better.

Well now to today-I jumped on the scale this morning and guess what? Lost 3 pounds!! Go ME!!

Weight lost to date: 17.8lbs
