Down .5 today. I guess mixing veggies isn't such a great idea. I suppose the smaller loss could just be because I've been steadily losing 1 pound a day and my body is just saying "WHOOOOOA... Slow down!" I am hoping to try a detox bath tonight. I've been waiting for a good time to try it and I'm looking forward to soaking in the tub. A friend of mine just got her book published and I'd like to dig into that. The only thing that will be missing is a glass of wine. :)

Last night was very hard for me. The hubby was drinking and I wanted a shot of what he had. I was craving pizza and wine. I stayed the course though and vented via text to an hcg friend of mine. She was having a rough night too so we complained together.

I made asparagus for the first time last night. I needed distraction and cooking was helpful. I had 6 stems (or whatever you call a piece of asparagus). I put them in a frying pan with about an inch of water. Added garlic powder and basil - let it simmer while I poked it around with a spatula. It was really pretty good! I'll have it again tonight.

I think I've decided to only do a 26 day round. This way, I'll have a full week of phase 3 maintenance before Thanksgiving and can enjoy some turkey. I'm very nervous about phase 3 since I did so horribly on it last time. I'm hoping that the shorter round will help me stick to program longer.
