MY HCG JOURNEY – DAY 6

My, how time flies! It was a week ago today that I made the decision to take this journey. I had finally had enough of certain aspects of my body that I couldn’t seem to get the upper hand on. The ‘shelf’ that gets in the way when I bend over or slouch in a chair. The double chin I would love to pretend doesn't exist [but manages to show up in every photograph]. The extra stress I’m putting on my bad ankle and the ‘good’ ankle that has to pick up the slack for the other one. The extra stress on my hips because of the extra weight.

What I think this is doing for me is giving me the strength to be in control. Because I’ve made this commitment, I can pass up the department lunch, or the free tacos given out for cinco de mayo. My will-power increases when I have a focus, and I needed a focus.

Lanny dropped another 4 pounds today, making 12 for him since Monday. He was hoping for maybe 10 this week, but he is going to blow that number out of the water. My numbers didn’t change today, but that is not too surprising since I dropped 3 yesterday. I know that he will lose faster. That’s just the natural difference between men and women. We ate the same thing, but he probably had a much more physical day than I did.

Exercise: right now it’s a dilemma. Should I do it? I want to do it, but eating so little, if I burn off 2 or 3 hundred calories, that leaves me with - - - - - -? I may try it tonight and just see how I feel.
