Weight: 219. No change.
Bummer. I was so hoping to hit my 20 pound mark today. The most likely culprit for not losing today is that I haven't been drinking enough water the past few days. I took my daughter to the Fair two days ago and purposely didn't drink a lot after lunch so I wouldn't have to use the port-a-potty on the Midway. LOL Then yesterday, we had some family medical problems so I was driving all over town and didn't get enough water. So today, I've already had 1 liter of water and it's not even 9am. I will work to get in 4 liters today - double what they recommend and hopefully that will rehydrate my body and get the pounds melting off again. I also brought a couple packs of green tea to work to give those a try. I hate tea but can chug-a-lug if it will move the scale.
I'm half way done!!!! I am so stinking proud of myself, you have no idea. Some days are easy and some days are still very hard - weekends especially, when I'm at home and cooking for the girls or wanting weekend wine. I can do this though. Less than 3 weeks are left, only 20 more days.
I'm really looking forward to a "real" salad - with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, tuna, and dressing. Oh, and eggs and sausage for breakfast. Mmmmm.... I'm using SparkPeople.com to help me plan for my 3 weeks of phase 3. I've done Atkins before so these 3 weeks will be a lot like that, only I want to stay around 1200 calories. I'm nervous for phase 3 just because I don't want to put on anything that I've lost. Anyway, I could ramble all day on this...

Hi there my hcg friend!
No change is ok... Remember, anything including no change is better then a gain! So, I'm going to say CONGRAS on the no change! You are absolutely righ about drinking that water, it plays a vital role in the loss of our weight, I believe that with every inch of my being!I must say, I don't blame you one bit for not drinking your water afte lunch, to keep from having to use a port-a-potty!I'll squat before I use those stinky, nasty things!
YIPEE! Today is your half way mark I'm so excited for you I swear I could just cry!!!! I suppose because I know what a journey this diet is, and I know how happy I will be at my half way mark, that I just can't help but, feel that same happiness for you!Oh but Yes I do have an idea just how stinking proud you are! Anybody who does this diet as devoted and dedicated as you and I are doing it, has to know how proud one would be to see their half way mark! You are so right about some days are easy and then there are the days you have a holiday cookout,or a child's birthday,( or in my case...both) and those days are unbelievably hard to get through, at least without any cheats! YESSSSS YOU CAN & WILL DO THIS...I believe in YOU! WOO-HOO...Just 20 more days and you will be having that tasty "real" salad with ALL the yummy veggies, and my most favorite thing of all...TUNA! Girl, you got my mouth watering! I jotted the name of that website sparkpeople.com in my iphone so I will have it when I start my phase 3! (Thanks for sharing that!) Good luck with the green tea today! KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK! Just keep telling yourself, if I've made it to the 20th day, I'm not messing up or stopping now! YOU GOT THIS...NO DOUBT!
Thank you so much, Shyla! Your support has been such a wonderful thing. I can't imagine doing this without you cheering me on. It really has helped me on those tough days to know that I have to report to you in the morning! LOL
