Well, yesterday was a little disappointment. I didn't loose anything, and then, I cheated..... So, here's how that played out. I did really good all day, and was on the road to perfection, however, my husband was smoking BBQ all day long. Now, I've been eating chicken for the past 28 days, and liking it just fine. If I need a little something, I'll even go grab a nibble from my cooked stash in the fridge. But this chicken was AMAZING! And then his Brisket came off the grill. I couldn't handle it. I cheated on too much meat last night, and I can feel my body retaining the water. It will probably take me 3 days to rebound from this......
What I learned is that I'm craving real, cooked from scratch food. Not all the processed crap in the cupboards, but the good, home cooked kind. This diet hasn't been affording me much time in the kitchen, cooking. I think when I get to the maintenance phase, I'm going to enjoy that part again. I'll have many more ingredients to get creative with, and can cook for my family and friends again.
***IMPORTANT Update to protocol.
I've been using the HCG Plus group on Facebook for alot of my support and I confirmed Friday night that I can stay on Phase 2 for 57 days (including 2 load days) OR till I have lost 34 pounds. This means that I can legally lengthen the time I'm spending on this part of the diet to hopefully reach my goal of 30 pounds. Since I know that I'm also starting TOM any day, this will be another good reason to stick P2 out for another week! We'll see how things play out this week and go from there!
