1Body4Twenty - Day 8

So this post i'm rewriting because I had it basically finished before, and it was deleted! ARGHH!!

Weight - 158

Yes, the same as yesterday...boooo. I'm not sure why it's the same, but it might be because I tried one of my dad's french fries from five guys yesterday? Haha, it was only one and couldn't be longer than an inch! I couldn't resist the smell. So for all of you who live with family, maybe have a family meeting and discuss how they can help you get through without cheating rather than unintentionally making it difficult!

Also, if you are on HCG, I highly recommend that you don't watch TV, or if you do, watch it with your meal in front of you, because those food commercials can be absolutely brutal. But, as much as your mind and taste buds would like to indulge in those treats, I can promise you that your body is indulging in the food you are feeding it, and later down the line, you and your body will be thankful. And ladies, I know how cravings can be at the right time. You all know what I mean, and it is hard, i'm not going to lie, but stay strong, and you will stay happy.

Lastly, watch the hair products. The other day, I used my beach babe texturizing sea salt spray in my hair. Sounds okay, right? WRONG! It has propylene glycol in it, which is a big no no, and I went and covered my hair in it! So make sure to check all your products: makeup, hair product, perfumes, etc. You don't want to make the same mistake I did, lol.

p.s. as for the food I post, you have probably noticed a trend in spices. I LOVE spicy and I LOVE garlic. So take your favorite spices, so long as they don't have forbidden ingredients in them, and use them liberally in all your food. It makes the diet much easier and more pleasant for you.

Breakfast - Apple

Lunch - a cup of broccoli and some onion steamed and topped with salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chipotle seasoning, a glass of milk (2 cups), and 2 melba toast

Dinner - 3.5 oz chicken breast, baked under one tomato (equals 1 cup), some onion, basil, and garlic salt. It came out divine. I also had a 3rd melba toast for the day. It's 15 calories, but I have to admit, it is cheating.

Water - (I was bad today) 20 oz

I'm running out of vegetables!!! Looks like I've been eating so many that I have run out quite fast. Two cups of halved cucumbers happens to be an entire English cucumber! Anyways, today was good. No hunger and no fatigue. In fact, I went to the park today and walked along the river because it was so beautiful out. I couldn't help but thinking with HCG, I'll be more than ready for this weather soon!

Dinner - Tilapia with chipotle seasoning and garlic salt on it, 2 cups of cucumbers with garlic salt and curry seasoning, 2 pieces of garlic melba toast, and an apple
