Day 11...

As I type out day 11, I can't help but wish I were typing out day 37! Everyday I think to myself, how did I make it through yet another hcg day? I will report I have yet to have a cheat of "any" kind. but, man have these last 2 days been HELL! I do not understand it, perhaps it's due to the weekend, I'm having to be around more of the temptations with cooking for my family... I could just have my husband take them out for meals, but, as a mother I enjoy cooking meals for my family, I have always been that way! Not o mention my family loves to eat my cooking! As soon as I finish my daily blog, I told my husband I would fix Texas toast french toast with bacon, so see.... Then for supper I'm fixing them Turkey roast with loaded mashed potatoes with seasoned green beans & cream style corn, with yeast rolls. While I eat my boring 500 calorie hcg supper. Ugh! I'm crossing my fingers that Tomorrow Thur Thursday will be much better for me. Next weekend will be a doozy simply because the kids are out of school Friday, so that will be another long weekend like we had for Labor Day weekend. I'm not looking forward to that at all. Oh well, better get read for it, cause it's coming! I can feel Fall in the air, perhaps that too has a little to do with my mood and attitude.... I love everything about Fall! The weather, the smell of the air, blue jeans & hoodies, pumpkins & mums, the colored leaves on the trees and ground, bon fires with S'mores, apple cider, candy corn, Carmel corn balls, oh how the list goes on, and, on, and, on, and......Well you get the idea here! Oh and did I mention....Red Lobster is having there Shrimp Fest going on right now...All you can eat 5 different ways for 15.99 OMG! I want to go to Red Lobster, I look so very forward to when they have that deal going on! I guess you can see.... I'm still in my funk Today, and I'm sorry to be this way, but.... I just can't seem to shake it! I got up this morning not quite as early as I normally do, I guess it was about 8:15 I got on the scale and....I've lost another 1/2 pound. This is the 4th morning of losing 1/2 a pound. Not sure why it's just a half a pound when I'm taking in all my water and then some, eating only the allowed foods, not to mention I'm not even eating any Melba toast or the Grissini bread sticks. Not even the tiniest cheat for the entire time I've been on phase 2. So, I'm doing everything right, but for some reason my body only wants to let go of a 1/2 pound per day. I'll take that, not complaining, really I'm not. This makes my weight loss of 15 pounds in 9 days ( I never count my 2 loading days on my weight loss) I'm very happy & proud about this accomplishment. Today is Sunday, so I will be posting my measurements later in the afternoon, I've designated Sundays as my measuring days. I will mention also that I've noticed in the last 5 days that my lips and tongue are severely dry, not my whole mouth just my lips & tongue....Strange I know... Just thought I'd through that in there in case anybody else has that issue, they won't think they are alone. Well, I guess I'll go feed my family some brunch, wish me luck....Please!

It's 2:50pm and I'm back with my measuremants....
