Phase 2, Day 14

Today has been 2 weeks since I started P2. I am feeling very impressed with myself for getting this far. It has definitely been a challenge. There have been days when all I wanted was to eat everything in sight. Emotional eating has always been a weakness of mine. While my husband is gone, I am always more emotional, especially with 3 small children crying "mommy, mommy" all day long. I have held strong, though and not eaten anything off protocol.

I bought smart water. It is bottled water with electrolytes. I am hoping that this will help with how tired I have been the past few days. I am not quite sure what else to do about it.

Yesterday was my measurements day. I take measurements only once a week. Here are this week's results:

waist: -1.5" (total -3")

hips: -1" (total -2.5")

chest: -.5" (total -3")

thigh: stayed the same (total -1")

arm: -.5" total (1.5")

today's loss: -.6 lbs total loss: -17.8 lbs

Phase 2, Day 9

I need to drink more water. I have always struggled with drinking enough water. Before I started hCG, I struggled to drink just 16 oz of water in a day, and now I have to drink 66 oz of water?! Needless to say I have a hard time with this. I fill up my 27 oz water bottle first thing and try to drink it throughout the day. Then I try to drink a 16 oz glass of water at lunch and a 16 oz glass of water at dinner. I try to also drink another glass of water at night. That puts me up there, but let's be honest. I never really completely get through my water bottle...That's my goal of the week. Keep up my water intake.

Loss today: -1.2 lbs. Total loss: 14.2 lbs.
