Catch up-
Days 12-21
Sooooo there's not much to tell here lately- holidays were crazy (wonderful, but crazy) and even I found it hard to stay on track. I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose any either. I'm currently down to 176 pounds- roughly 12 pounds in 21 days. I'm still having an extremely hard time sticking to this diet but I'm doing it...I've also decided that once I hit the 20 lb loss mark I'm taking a break. I just cannot live on apples, pears and chicken breasts for that much longer. I won't be taking a massive break- just one day to get some Subway or Chinese food...more of a mental break than anything. There is a restaurant on Hwy 26 called Pacific House Chinese, and their Pad Thai is literally to die for, so I'm thinking I'm going to get some of that when I hit 168.
This diet, although extremely rigid and restrictive, has given me control back. It's taught me to eat the way we all should- by cutting out fatty foods and loading up on fruits, veggies, protein, tea and lots of water. And I really do enjoy that aspect of it. I've gotten to experiment with all kinds of different spices and see what I like and what I don't, and I've learned that planning my meals helps me avoid temptation. Most of all, the HCG diet has given me my life back. I wish everyone would do this diet- we could put fast-food chains out of business!!!!
Next stop, 168!!!
Stay tuned :D
oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
