Then this morning, I gained those two pounds back.
But, I can tell you what I did wrong (and no, it's not cottage cheese this time)....I had a cookie.
With pink frosting.
It was delicious! And, it was my "goodbye" cookies at work yesterday (yesterday was my last day, next Friday I'll start my new job)....and the HCG Diet rules clearly state in the guidelines that one must eat all GoodBye Desserts handed their way.
I wish!
So, no more goodbye cookies or anytime cookies....I was disappointed with the scale this morning. I swear the scale was just looking at me saying...."Really? A goodbye cookie? That's all it took?"
Yet, as I sit here, I will reflect on the positive. I hung out with Lance's niece's last night (they are our age, not little girls) where there was wine served--and I did not take a sip. This Goodbye Cookie actually filled me up and it was almost too sweet! In fact, I was completely sastified with one! Flash backward a month ago, I would've been able to pack a few of those away.
So, it's time to re-focus...Im realizing every day I need to re-focus....more water, no cookies. I need to start walking. Sigh. But for now, I will just sit here on my day off and watch the Today Show and sip my coffee.
Oh, and water.
You are such a sweetheart. Your lesson WAS great, by the way, and I think that you are handling the emotional and physical challenges of this diet with much grace and humor. You are always an inspiration, whether dieting or not!
