Weight 171.6
I've lost 10 lbs! Yay. 40 to go. Haha. Today was just a normal day. 4 oz ground beef and asparagus, 2 servings of strawberries, two servings of asparagus, 2 grissini, and lots of water. Nothing to report.

Day 13
Weight 171.6!
I can't wait to see what my weight is tomorrow. I am thinking it might go up tomorrow. I stepped on the scale a few times to make sure that was right. I got the same number every time. So today was particularly difficult. We had a rental come vacant which means time to clean clean clean. It took me like an hour to pack everyone a lunch. I had to make sure i got all my right foods. It was overwhelming. The electricity was off at the vacant house which means No AC! Blah! It was 102 today. I was sweating SO much! We all were. I really wanted a Dr. Pepper but I fought the urge. I stuck to the water and it felt great. I boiled eggs for my lunch today and dinner was tilapia and asparagus. Oh, and after working and eating my lunch I was still very light headed and tired. I know I burned the 500 cal and then some. So I treated myself to 4 mini pretzels and they were YUMMY. I know this might seem weird but sometimes I can't remember if I took all my sprays of hCG. I think I might take three sprays before bed. Oops. Also, there is a recommended Colon Cleanse to take with the diet. WARNING: Take ONE and see how it works! The directions say 1, two times and day and work up to 2 two times a day. I think my colon will fall out if I take that much! I take one every other day and that is PLENTY! The Slim Tabs that are recommended as well really boost my energy and curb my cravings. I don't take them every day, just when I am feeling tired or craving something.
I was happy I passed up the DP today. Here's to another day! 20 500 cal days to go! That's only 40 meals! ;)

Day 12

| LUNCH |
 | ||||
| DINNER |
Thought I would take pics of my yummy food. This can give you an idea of portions as well. Not as small as you might have thought. I made my omelette with 1 egg and 2 egg whites and I stuffed spinach inside. And I had grapefruit and my grassini.
For dinner I had my 4 oz tilapia, grilled. It was so yummy grilled. And I had summer squash and not pictured is my grassini. I shared one with the kids today. They were SO excited because I told them that they were just for me. It was like passing out ice cream or something. And for dessert, which I am eating now, I have an apple.
To be honest with all my effort, I am hoping to drop more weight. I have 21 days to go. Hopefully I will lose an average of a pound a day. That would be great.

Day 11 and Happy 4th
Weight 174.2
Lost that pound that I gained.
Today was difficult. I kept wanting to justify that it was a holiday and I should deserve a little slack. PLUS most everyone in the house is not feeling well and I had a massive headache. All I wanted was a Dr. Pepper. But I didn't give in. I guess what doesn't kill me will make me stronger. ;) We met a bunch of our friends at the park and I will admit, I had one big bite of Jessica's bean dip, and one big bite of Lars' mango salsa. And it was worth it. And I figured it was better than candy, potato chips and so on..... I passed up on everything else. I guess I am proving to my outer self that my inner self is stronger. And that feels good. Otherwise my meals today were apples, chicken, ground beef wrapped in lettuce and a cucumber.

Day 10
Weigh In 175.2
Gain 1 lbs :(
I was warned this would happen...Hopefully the scale tips the other way for tomorrow. I am not too worried about the gain, as long as it goes down.....
So it is Fourth of July weekend and SO tough to not eat all the tummy food! Steak, watermelon, brownies and so on. Mmmm my mouth is watering.
Unfortunately there is a stomach bug running through the family. I have wondered what happens if I get the stomach flu while on the diet. If you know, leave me a comment. Hopefully I won't need to worry about it, but we'll see.
Today was fast Sunday. Made it easy when no one was eating. Haha. By the end of church I was starving so when we came home we ate some lunch. 2 eggs and 2 egg whites with tomatoes for me, an apple, and for dinner we got together with some friends and her husband bbq'd some massive yummy steaks and I brought my little 4oz london broil and he made fun of it. He insisted I take a bite of the steaks he prepared and boy was it YUMMY! I know I need to back off on the steak and eggs. Back to chicken and fish.....

Day 9
Weight: 174.2
M***, I told you I had lost a pound. I was wrong. Sorry. I think I had better lay of the london broil. It is so yummy and satisfying. But it counts for less weight loss. I am so proud of myself today! I had a chance to snag a Dr. Pepper and was given as excuse to do so, but I didn't. And trust me, it was not easy! AND tonight we hung out with our awesome friends and my kiddos roasted mallows and had smores. I wanted one like you wouldn't believe, but I DIDN'T. I know it's no big deal to you as a reader, but those two things that I turned down are like an addict passing up free crack. I mean, I have no idea how that feels because I have never been an addict, but I am trying to give you a picture of how tough it is to pass up the foods you LOVE that are so unhealthy and choosing good health instead. It's satisfying in a different way than the way food satisfies. Even smelling food that I can not eat right now is very satisfying! Who knew!?
My food today was: A total of 2 apples, 2 servings of asparagus, 4 oz steak, 4 oz of chicken, 1 grassini. I am happy to report that as the days go on, these foods become VERY satisfying!

Day 8
Weight 174.6
Lost 1.2 lbs
6.6lbs lost so far (in 8 days!)
The secret to survival is eating these 500 calories througout the day. I love vinegar, salt, and pepper. My meals today were: London Broil (my fave), a grassini, grape tomatoes, and an apple. For dinner, I took advice from a good friend and hCG graduate and I had 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites and I cooked tomatoes (she suggested asparagus) and threw them in. It was SO yummy! And so filling. And I had an apple for "dessert." People are starting to notice a little weight loss and pointing it out. That's nice. But I have a LONG ways to go! Thanks for all your support everyone!! Week one DONE!
