Uhh Yeeeah, Just Kidding!

So we started the HCG Diet again. I got to the evening of the second VLCD day and I decided I was done. I am so not up to dragging and feeling like I've been put through the washing machine. That is how I feel when I'm on the HCG Diet. So, after no breakfast and chicken and celery for lunch, I decided to make a tasty salad with plenty of chicken and sunflower seeds and vinaigrette dressing for dinner. And we ate until we felt good. I wasn't even going to eat dessert, UNTIL my friend dropped by with a warm apple zucchini pie in hand for us. So, I had a piece. How could I not, right? So, that was last night. We woke up this morning and both of us had lost a pound. So, we smiled and said "heck, maybe we can get lucky and eat normal and use HCG, and still loose weight." So we gave ourselves a shot. Tonight we went to Red Robin for dinner and had all the fixings. Something tells me we didn't lose a pound. I'll let you know though;)

Round Two Begins

Leif and I have leftover HCG from our first round of the HCG Diet. We will put it to use rather then have it go to waste. We have both gained around 7 pounds since the end of our first round of the HCG Diet. To me, this proves that the HCG Diet is not a magic bullet. It does not guarantee that you will never be overweight again. It is a quick weight loss program. But it is NOT a cure! The only cure is following a healthy diet and lifestyle plan and Determination. That is the ONLY Weight Loss CURE.

We follow a reasonably healthy lifestyle. We are active and we eat well balanced meals. However, we enjoy our sweets. So, until we eliminate that from our diet, we will never be free of the creeping pounds.

But I enjoy the weight being off while it lasts...
