Day 5

Good Morning! It is Friday the 13th and I have always had good luck on those days. One year I got a call, after an interview for a job that I really wanted, to say that I got the job! There have been other good things that have happened to me, but I can't think of them right now. Let's just say that nothing *bad* has happened to me on those dates.

Well my good luck has continued this time too! The diet is going pretty well. I have found that small amounts of food are filling me up (that has never happened to me before) in fact that's why I'm fat. I do still have cravings for sweets and I'm sure I always will, but moderation is the key. I'm saving my sweets for thanksgiving! Bring on the pie baby!!

Day 4

Ok, so today was hard. I was really craving all kinds of junk food. I just kept telling myself that I have had enough junk to last me a lifetime and Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away. Oh yeah, I totally plan on cheating on that day. I don't care what you say...I'm gonna eat me some turkey, stuffing, mashed taters, pie, butternut squash, broccoli and onion casserole, butter, more pie and probably some ice cream.

HCG Diet

Alright, well after seeing so many women at the clinic lose weight with this diet I decided to try it out. I am not usually a fan of crash or fad diets, but I have gained so much weight that I need to do something. I'm hoping that this diet will jump start my weight loss and then it will give me motivation to stick to a healthier lifestyle.

So part of it is to record everything that you eat and count your calories. I decided what better place to do that than right here with all of you!

For the first two days you eat whatever you want and lots of it. I'm not going to record those days. I am starting with day three, which esentially is the first day of the "diet" portion of this program. And here we go...

11/12/09- Day Three (-3 lbs)

Breakfast: Apple

Lunch: 3 oz chicken breast, 2 cups of spinach, half of one tomato, one celery stalk, half of a cucumber

Dinner: 5 oz chicken breast, large handful of asparagus, tried to do cooked spinach but it was yucky

Yerba Mate Tea Count: 1- 8oz glass

ok, well I survived the first day ...stay tuned for more.
