I did not cheat at all Friday or Yesterday. Okay, that's a white lie. I had ONE ravioli on Friday. But that was it! No cheating other wise.

And I guess as a reward I lost 6 pounds between both of those days. Totally weight loss as of today? 13 pounds. I've read that a lot of people weigh themselves everyday to see how they've done, but I don't ever think about it sometimes. Personally I think that's a good thing. From now on I'm only going to weigh once a week. Then, when I do finally weigh myself, it will be a big surprise as to how much I lost. Like a present to myself!

Christmas is coming up. (Don't worry, Thanksgiving, I haven't forgotten about you. Although I wish I could.)
41 days to be exact. I kind of want to get Trans-Siberian Orchestra Tickets for the five of us... Or whoever would want to come. It'd be really awesome. Maybe Mother-Dearest will see this and bring it up. ;P

The weather is so nice right now, I just love it. The air is crisp and occasionally frigid - perfect jacket or sweater weather. Perfect weather to curl up in bed and snooze the day away or read a good book. I just finished my last book, I need another one. :)

Today has been much better, so far I've had half an apple this morning, the other half a chicken tender and some aspearagus just a few minutes ago. I'm still not drinking enough water, but I'm trying. Headed off to the store in a few minutes to restock the chicken and shrimp supply, also some lettuce. I feel very hungry today, but I'm being good. I wish I had remembered the effect the steroids would have on me. I guess I never really noticed before since I just ate all the the time anyway.

Yesterday was bad bad bad. I ate ate ate. It was mostly good stuff....just too much. We cooked some extra chicken so we would have it for today and tomorrow.....well, it's gone. I ate it, I also ate all the cottege cheese, several clemintines, some peanut butter, and a can of soup, oh yeah, and some corn dogs. It wasn't until around 10 that I realized "Hey....I wonder if those darn steriods the doc gave me today is making eat like this"..yes, I'm a little slow. I am not going to continue to take them.

Cheater Cheater French Fry Eater

Yeah so my daughter is not the only one to cheat...yesterday I ate french fries, they were baked, but still, not good. I also had a yogurt. I was craving something sweet. The bad thing is, I still lost half a pound...wonder what it would have been had I not cheated...grrrrr.

Iwent to the Dr. today for a check up, and the physical for my health program at work....totally didn't tell her I was doing this diet. Wonder if it's going to make a difference on my blood work....guess I should have mentioned it, but didn't want to catch any grief from her.

I know I'm not drinking enough water....I try and I try. The thing at work is it's not very convient to refill my water glass during the day. Maybe I should just take several bottles with me in the morning and then when I'm stuck at my desk I'll have them with me and won't have an excuse.

We need to start working in some exercising to this whole program, but I'm so dang tired all the time, and when I get home from work I don't want to do anything. Even today when I'm off all I want to do is crawl back in bed with a good book/kindle.

ps....i also had a few pieces of candy corn last night, i don't even like candy corn.....gross!!

I am a cheater.

A dirty, rotten, good-fer-nothing cheater.

I'm on my period. (TMI, much?) Which makes me crave EVERYTHING and anything it seems. UGH!

So basically, I've cheated everyday... except for that one day that I didn't. To add onto that, I totally got my weight loss count wrong and therefore don't feel so awesome. As of today I have lost 7 pounds. So, when I had previously mentioned losing 7.8... that was a lie.

That's what I do.

I cheat.

And I lie.

Damn.

Yeah so...this is supposed to be a mother/daughter blog...but the mother has no writing skills.

This whole HCG thing is hard, very hard. Especially for someone who doesn't like to plan things. I'm more of a go with the flow kinda person. I don't like to think about what I'm going to eat, I just want to eat. I guess that is how I ended up like I am now. Like my lovely daughter said, this is not a cure, it's just a jump start. So far I am down about 10 lbs, it's a good start. I don't think it will continue to come off so fast, but it didn't get on here over night, it's not going to come off over night. Just wish it came off as easy as it went on.

Yesterday was... hard. BUT(!) I didn't cheat!! Cue the cheering audience! (Whooooooooo!!!)

I'm fairly proud of myself. It was really hard, I even went out to eat with friends after work. Part of me felt silly sitting at Chili's, yes Chili's, only drinking a water and coffee. But I didn't cheat. The only thing I ate was the small remnants of C's salad. So it is all good.

Today I'm not going to cheat either. It's not going to happen. I am going to be a good little dieter. Ha ha, that sounds weird.

As of today my total weight loss is 8 pounds. After the pizza/soda fiasco I went up .4 pounds. So really, I could've been at a higher loss, but that's what I get for cheating. Still, eight pounds in five days? That's awesome! That's average 1.6 pounds a day. Ohh... I would LOVE to keep going at that rate. If I did I would be 63 pounds lighter! I would only have 37 pounds to lose to reach my goal of 135 pounds. That's probably just wishful thinking however, boo.

I need to start working out so that I'm not a Flabby McFlabberson after I lose all the weight. I especially need to start doing squats so that I can have a nice booty once this is all done with. Gotta look good in those jeans.

Just so everything is clear, I'm going this as a type of head start. Not as a cure. I don't think that after doing this that I can just eat whatever I want and just do this whenever I gain the weight back. I hoping this experience will teach me the difference between hunger and cravings. I've already experienced some of that with the cookies.

And the pizza.

And the soda.

:(
