MY HCG JOURNEY - DAY 5

Wahoo! Lanny was down another 4 pounds today [total of 8], and I was down another 3 [total of 4]. He is so skeptical about this working; however he says “Of course it’s working! They are starving me!”

I will actually get excited when I see my numbers falling below my ‘do not cross’ zone. I have been trying to get past a certain number for over a year, and although I get close, I can’t seem to break that zero.

The worst time of the day for me is between 10:00 a.m. to noon. Today I used some noni leaf tea and it really did help. Between 10 – 12 has always been when I would eat some almonds. I do miss my almonds. [I special order them from Amazon; Blue Diamond Vanilla Bean oven baked almonds]

Lanny has been threatening to get me a box of chocolates for Mother’s Day. If you see his obituary on Monday, that means he followed through with the threat. He thinks it would be cool for me to store them on a shelf until I can eat them. WRONG. From experience I know that after going awhile without sugar, my body does not take kindly to it when I start eating it again. I want this to be a real lifestyle change, not just a 6 week diversion.

It’s decent weather today, so I plan to go walking after work. Lanny has to work late, so I’ll have to go by myself.
