Day SEVEN

I know I've missed days 3-6, but hey I'm a busy mother, wife and business owner and sleep came before blogging. So today was Day 7 and I was thrilled to get on the scale and see I am down 9 pounds since Day 1. NINE pounds and feeling terrific! Seriously, I feel great. I am not hungry or shaky. I am not craving anything either which is kinda strange and the best thing is I have super will power. Let me tell you how I went to my favorite sub shop and ordered a few subs for other people and didn't even desire one for myself. I also had a friend bring me a banana bread which I carefully avoided. I baked my daughters a batch of Toll House chocolate chip cookies and didn't have a single one, nor did I really want one. I also made a trip to Starbucks and ordered a regular coffee with sugar free Cinnamon Dolce pump vs. my usual. I have also avoided a piece of pizza at a pizza party, I went for the salad instead and splurged with a bit of regular Italian dressing (less than a teaspoon). Today I felt so amazing by what the HCG does for you and I know without a doubt that this is the diet that is going to change my life. It's so crazy how I actually enjoy cooking all the meals for me & my hubby, I also am making much better choices for my two girls, who I have to also think of as they need to eat a bit more than we are and more regular type of foods. So I am hoping that our entire family is going to benefit from this diet. I know it has only been a week, but my husband & I have bonded in this short amount of time, as we shop together, cook together, weigh in together, and talk about the diet together. We are really excited to see such quick results and feel so good too. Today we measured our chests, waists, hips, arms, and thighs. WOW! I can't wait to see the difference when we measure ourselves next week. We decided to do this once a week vs. daily. I won't tell you how big my arms are, but that sure was an eye opener and I truly hope to NEVER EVER get this large again. I seriously, don't even know how this happened to me. I am not a huge over eater and I try to do good. I don't eat a lot of sweets, I am not someone who eats ice cream every night or junk food every day. I don't drink soda, only water & iced tea. So why am I so big?! I am not sure, but let me tell you.... HCG is going to make me little. I can already see results. NINE pounds lost! Can't wait to wake up tomorrow and weigh myself again. It's been a pound or more a day since we started. So happy for my hubby too, he's lost TEN pounds. YAY!!!
