Day 11
Weight: 179
Gain: .8 lbs.
Well, things have changed here. I've decided to move the HCG from the logo. I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay on it and dieting is going to be a part of what I regularly do until it becomes an everyday lifestyle. But, right now it's tough as all get out. Ashton was up every hour last night except for six o'clock hour. I'm not eating right and I need to go to the grocery store so I can get back on track. I also need some vitamin supplements to help out. If I'm cutting things out, I need to make sure I get enough calcium. On top of that not getting enough sleep is killing me. But, I'm determined to lose a total of 55 lbs. I'll be happy with 40, but I like being an over-achiever!
Hopefully I'll come back with some weight loss news today. Not sure. I really need a grocery run and I don't know if that will happen.

Day 10
Well, I weighed myself this morning and forgot what it was. Isn't that sad. This lack of sleep thing was killing me. I remember my initial thought was that I didn't lose anything, but I honestly can't remember if the scale said 178.2 or 179.2. I did realize that I can't eat any pasta type thing. I had homemade chicken noodle soup with the kids and I'm sure that's what stalled things. I also didn't drink enough water. But sick kids will do that to you. I brought some Melba toast as was recommended on the hcg diet and they do seem to help with the carb cravings.

Day 9
Weight: 178.2
Amount Lost: 1 lb.
Total Lost: 6.3 lbs.
I didn't have the HCG yesterday and was hungry. So I ate some leftover pizza from my MIL's get together and some Special K. Part of me is wondering if I even need the HCG or if I need to just keep doing a low calorie, high protien, low carb diet. We'll see while I'm on my period.
My little man is sick as a dog today. He threw up in my bed around 4 this morning and now has a migraine. My heart breaks for him. He's only 2 and has a migraine. Poor kid.
Well, we'll see how things go today and if I can keep dropping a pound a day without the HCG. If not, I'll go back on it.

Day 8
Weight: 179.2
Amount Lost: .6 lbs.
Total Lost: 5.3 lbs.
Ughh! Just started my period this morning. I would love to say that it's why I haven't lost more, but we ate out yesterday and then had dinner at my in-laws last night. So with all that and my period, I think .6 is doing pretty darn good.
And as for eating out and eating at other folks houses, you just have to use your best judgement. We went to Panera and I ordered a Chicken, Strawberrry and Poppyseed Salad. Most of the things in the salad are on the allowed list for the diet. I forgot to tell the hubby not to get salad dressing on it. But even with the dressing and all that, according to the Panera board, it only had 280 calories. As for dinner, my MIL made some on the grill pizzas. I had a small portion of the two kinds and a salad.
Per the protocol, I have to stop taking drops during this week. It should be interesting. The drops are not fully controlling the hunger as it is. I'm going to do my best. Losing 5 lbs. in a week is a good motivator! And on a good note, the bloating after this week should go down considerably.

Day 7
Weight: 179.8
Amount Lost: 1 lb.
Total Lost: 4.7 lbs.
I have to get some Melba Toast. My body is not giving up carbs as easily as I wished it would. I have to have a boost mid-day. I took some extra carbs last night but it was more habit than anything. I also did not track my food as well (a.k.a. at all) yesterday. Not good. So today is a new day. I'm sure it's not helping that I'm going to start soon. That's keeping me a bit bloated. With almost 5 pounds gone, I should be seeing a little difference in the top of my stomach (that's normally where I see it first), but all this bloating is keeping me puffy. It's a bit discouraging.
Today is Father's Day. I'm so blessed to have my wonderful hubby! But I hope that he'll decide to eat at home today. Eating out kills me. And snacking. But I'm determined to get better! I love knowing these pounds are coming off! I'm hoping that I'll keep averaging a pound a day. That would be awesome!

Day 6 & Still Losing
Weight: 180.8
Amount Lost: 2 lbs.
Color me shocked, but yesterday was one of my worst cheating days. I guess I'm going to lose anyway because I'm so overweight that any reduced amount of calories will work on me! I'm sure I would lose more without the cheating, but life happens and I'm doing my best. I keep having carb cravings at lunch. I'm going to try more of that chicken soup at lunch today and see if that helps me get past that.
As far as the cheating, the hubby and I went out for dinner last night. Ihad a grilled chicken ceasar and one poppy seed roll. I only ate half the salad withought dressing. I did down all the fried onions and put a little of the dressing on them. But then after that, I felt stuffed and a bit ill. I count that as a good thign because I'll be less likely to gorge.
After that we went to JC Penny's to get me a few pairs of shorts. They were both size 16 and a bit tight. Lord willing that will change soon. I truly want to be at least a size 10 again. I really want to fit in an 8. That's were I was before Sarah. An 8 would be awesome!
Anyway, it's back to the weight loss rat race today. I'm hoping to break into the 170's tomorrow. I'm going to try to do my measurements tonight. I would love to see how many inches I lose in addition to the weight.
