Day 16 - Down 1.0 and 1.8

Jami: Down 1.0
Justin: Down 1.8

Stay on Protocol! That's it, nothing more is really needed.

Victory! I am out of the 160's! I am sure this post will be full of exclamations. :) And those of you who read the post yesterday before 11pm get to know that I did cheat a bit. Our babysitter for tonight has been under the weather all week, but isn't canceling on us, so I made her cookies. Three dozen of them. Not the ones that come as dough and you just pop in the oven, the actual Nestle Tollhouse recipe. I thought about substituting Stevia for sugar but decided not to since almost all the cookies are going to Zar and I need to get rid of my non-organic sugar before Phase 4. And even though the kids split three and a half cookies, I only had half of one. And a teaspoon of dough. The results may show up tomorrow in a lack of loss or super small loss, but I am ok with that. I still feel quite victorious having held myself to so little cheats in the face of the cookies. And of course, I rode my bike for an hour at more than a leisurely pace to counteract the cookie. :)

Next it is Justin's turn to break into the 190's. He is one short pound away! I really believe men are more disciplined when it comes to food and that I am attributing to his ability NOT to eat any dough nor cookies last night. His reward? An almost two pound drop in one day. Tonight may be harder for him than for me though. It's easier for him to refrain from eating food, but put decent wine near him and it's torture not to let him drink it! Since I figured out I am allergic to the sulfites in wine, it's a lot easier for me not to drink. So as this festive evening brings many temptations, the biggest of all being trying not to look like freak dieters, we have a solid plan of attack. We are taking the kids to the play area in Tyson's 1 to wear them out. Then some shopping and back to the house at lunch time. If we are lucky, that will result in a two hour nap this afternoon. Then we will send them outside to "clear off" the balcony to wear them out some more. Our dinner is at 7, wish us luck!

Word of advice: make sure you are doing your shots only into fat! It stings a bit when you start hitting muscle.

I want to note that Justin's total weight loss including two weeks before the HCG is now at 21.0 pounds. We are in no way claiming that you cannot lose weight by lowering your calorie intake and working out. But we are claiming that doing the protocol is a LOT easier than anything else AS WELL AS the best targeting weight loss EVER! Justin's belly and chest seem to be the only places the fat is melting away. Same for me, just in my butt, thighs, hips and waist. You girls know what I am talking about, the saddle bags between your belly button and knees. :) Ok, infomercial finished. Call now to receive your special internet offer...
