This mornings weigh in read 173.0 lbs. I was down .6lbs! So, not another 3 lbs but definitely a loss than a gain and I am happy with that. Today I felt more satisfied than yesterday. It is an absolute must that the drops be taken in the morning upon rising prior to drinking anything. I had a cup of tea 15 minutes later and a slice of Weight Watchers Points Plus Bread which has been substituted for the Melba toast by other HCG dieters. I will see if this throws the weight loss, since this was the only change I made during the day. Usually this is eaten for lunch but I need to have something in the morning. I think a peice of 40 calorie bread isn't pushing it. Oh, I know how crazy this all sounds, believe me. But again, I am part of this experiment. I criticized the ones I observed doing this a LOT prior to starting this myself. Now, I'm giving myself the opportunity to rightfully have an opinion.
So, my family had some errands to run today and we had coupons for free burgers at Ruby Tuesdays. Free is good when you are on a tight budget so we took advantage of the idea. I love that place. The food is awesome! But before you lose all faith in me, my husband and son were the only ones who enjoyed the freebies. I packed a lunch like a good girl and ate in the car. I know this sounds ridiculous but my determination to stick to my goal has intensified. Once I was finished, I joined them inside for a water with lemon. Granted it was challenging watching my husband eat his massive burger, dripping with ooey gooey goodness....cheese and bacon and fries.... but a voice in my head kept repeated a quote I heard once, "You will never regret what you didn't eat." How appropriate for what I am embarking on! Later on, I told my husband that as much as looking good on the beach in a bathing suit is for me, more important is the reality of sticking to a goal that I made for myself. It is so much easier to be dependable for others. Why is it so challenging when it comes to ourselves?
Tomorrow, I am working a very long day so I want to let you all know that I PREPARED for tomorrow. My lunch is packed and ready to go. I got 1/2 cup of FAT FREE cottage cheese mixed in with 9 strawberries, melba toast and 2 cups of celery. I also used a bit of cinnamon to flavor my cottage cheese with. Hopefully this is not breaking the protocol. Cant wait to share my numbers with you tomorrow! So, until then my friends, have a pleasant day!! Keep on truckin :)
