Day 17: Fluctuating now going into travel with HCG
Well, this morning’s weigh in was disappointing, up 1 pound from yesterday. Admittedly though, I diverted a bit yesterday. I hadn’t been on a date with just my wife in a while, so we went out. We went to Texas Roadhouse. I ordered the roasted chicken, side salad, and side baked beans. The salad was fine as was the chicken (I removed the skin) even though it was on-bone. I’m sure it was the BBQ baked beans that set me over. It is odd though, as it was such a small amount. And I drank over a gallon of water yesterday too.
Oh well, I’m doing my best. I’m feeling like I could probably get another 5 pounds out of the HCG diet and really want to, but this travel will be hard. I’m on a plane all day today and am going to try to just eat the 6 apples today to see if that helps reset anything.
As I’m going into the final week, I’m starting to think about the maintenance phase for the HCG diet. This is probably the most important. I’ve had friends lose a lot and then on the 27th day gorge themselves as a ‘reward’ — and then they eventually gain it back. To me, the HCG diet is a detox. I wanted something to reset my thoughts on food and give me a bit of a jumpstart toward better eating lifestyle while still enjoying what I want. I have some thoughts on how I’m going to accomplish this that I’ll share later.
Now, it’s off to travel! Wish me luck!
Day 17: 204.5 pounds (up one :-( )
