Well it has been another rough week on the HCG diet. I am learning the hard way that you have to stick with this wholeheartedly or it's not going to be a success! I had another very stressful week and ultimately made a big decision regarding my career. I have been working 2 jobs for 2 years now. One job is full time and pays the bills and I enjoy the people I work with but that's about it. The other job has only been part time but I LOVE everything about the job. I pretty much decided that I was done working 2 jobs but couldn't see EVER giving up my part time job....soooo, I put in my notice at my full time job and am going full time with my current part time job!! Confused yet?
Thus, the reason for the title of this blog. After making the big decision and getting the offer I needed and wanted from the company I decided to go out and celebrate with my "boss" from the new full time job. I felt that I needed and had earned a night off the diet. I went all out, we had an appetizer and I had buffalo wings with ranch dressing. I also had 3 alcoholic drinks....yikes!! I probably drank a week's worth of calories for this diet in ONE night!! I didn't think it would make that big of a difference. : ( Luckily, I haven't gained any weight but I also haven't lost. I'm trying not to get discouraged though. I was not feeling well yesterday and by the time I was up and moving for the day I decided to just skip my injection yesterday. Today I have started back up, again, and am hoping for some results tomorrow.
So while I was hoping to hit 15 lbs down by today I guess I should count my blessings instead that I didn't gain. The whole glass half full theory... All in all, after a stressful week I would say that my glass is now more than half full. Life is looking up and my weight is going down (I hope!)!!!
