I weighed 157 this morning, so over the weekend I gained 3 pounds from pigging out! I am okay with it, because the hard stuff begins today. It is only 8:30 am, so of course, I am doing just fine! HAH! I will be logging back in throughout the day as I add to what I have eaten and such.
It is 10:30 am now, and all I have had to "eat" is Weightless Organic tea with stevia, and about 3 glasses of water. And I am NOT hungry. I know, it is only 10:30, but I was up at 5:30, so normally, I am up at 8 am, and I am definitely hungry by 1:00, and that is the same timeframe. Plus, I didn't really eat too much dinner last night.
I can't believe how much I am PEEING! I have never in my life peed so much, even when I was pregnant. It seems that I am going every half an hour (no exaggeration) but I hear that is very common as your body is undergoing a detox process with the HCG.
I am going to go ahead and eat an apple before I pick up Natalie at 11 am. I just want to stay one step ahead of my hunger.
Well, I forgot to eat before I picked up Natalie. That's right, FORGOT! I can't believe it. It is 11:30 now though, and I am making Natalie mac & cheese...and you know what? It doesn't even bother me! :) I am going to have a cup of strawberries and a glass of water for a snack. I will keep a running total of my caloric intake below.
2 pm and I just had 1 serving of starch.
3:45 pm I decided that I need to eat. I am a bit hungry, but definitely not famished. I cut up my chicken and started weighing it. Do you know how freakin' LITTLE 100 grams of chicken is??? I was SHOCKED. Well, heck, that's why I am fat! I have been eating 3 times too much meat at every meal! :)
7:30 pm I still have a meat, a veggie & a fruit to eat. And I am not hungry. I KNOW this can't be in my mind. I am having crab meat with asparagus and an apple. Then I will go to bed. I would say I am proud of myself, but it really wasn't hard. I guess ask me in a week.
The only thing I can say, is I realize how much I would have messed up had I not been on a strict diet...I would have totally just grabbed stuff off the kids plate. I have to say, this strict of a diet is really for me. It is all or nothing. :)
Another thing this is really teaching me, is how much I have allowed FOOD to play a part in my life. For instance, today I took Natalie to the Dr....because she didn't like the shots she had to get, I almost said "I will take you to Dairy Queen for a sundae", and that was after I almost told her I would take her to Grandma's Diner for a lunch for mommy and her. Then, after gymnastics tonight, I almost thought to take the kids out for a snack. I am learning to stop "rewarding" with food, and also to find a new gathering place for the family, other than around a table eating.

I would definitely rate this day as a 10. It really couldn't of been better. I worked out, albeit, just a little bit. My hunger was under control. I woke early, and should be going to bed early. I don't have any complaints (but a bit of a bothersome headache, but I really think that is unrelated).
