MY HCG JOURNEY – DAY 12

Today was a better day – weight wise. Lanny is down 3 and I am down 1. His total weight loss is now just over 15 pounds. I’m hovering just above the 6 pound mark.

Sometimes digital scales mess with your mind. On a regular scale, I would definitely be down 6 pounds, but because the digital scale is so accurate, I’m wigged out over a .02 of a pound difference. In my head I know it’s silly, but, there it is nevertheless.

We went way over our calories yesterday. I didn’t total them during the day, but put in the numbers today, and we were over. In trying to figure out where we went astray, I have made these conclusions. 1) Apples add more calories than strawberries 2) We went over on our dinner veggies.

I fixed boiled cabbage and Lanny wanted frozen green beans. Now, green beans are not actually on the diet, but he really wanted them, so I caved. I had about a ½ C of beans and ¼ cabbage. The total calories for those two items was 68, pushing our total over 640.

Lanny had a busy day yesterday and I walked 2 ½ miles after work. We were both down this morning, so I definitely think the exercise helped.

I came home from work early today because I’m not feeling well. Oldest daughter was here on Monday and was sick. [Thank you, honey!] I have taken everything I can think of to fight this off, including a nap. I really don’t feel like drinking water today with a sore throat, but I know I need to stay hydrated. I’m taking a couple of oz of EXTRA every couple of hours, Airbourne and Claritin. That should kick it’s butt, don’t you think?

I have to teach a lesson on Sunday, and I don’t want to have to hand it off to the counselor [who had to teach the last two weeks].
