Day 6 - Down 1.2 Each

Jami: Down 1.2
Justin: Down 1.2

We cannot complain about these results! And just like Cat said, the body transformations are incredible!!! I literally say my goodbyes to my hips, thighs and butt each night and by morning more of them are gone. Holy crap!

Yesterday was by far the hardest for both Justin and I. Justin is feeling a bit under the weather with a persistent sore throat, which is agitating him. Also, he and I both have slow jobs right now, which just makes us think about being hungry all day. Let me clarify; my mind is not hungry at all, in fact, I feel full and unbelievably energetic all day, but my stomach grumbles as if it is hungry. It's a very strange combination of feelings. Hopefully Pam is right and it really does get easier each day. Yesterday was also the day our bodies said, "CHEESE, give me cheese!" To which we said (with as much muster as we had), "Goodbye cheese addiction." Neither of us has cheated at all in three days, total victory.

In light of Pam's 'fun-with-the-quirky-scale,' I would like to say that Justin and I both weighed ourselves 5 times this morning. Our scale is not quirky, but it still gave 3 different results, very close, but still different. Mine were 165.2, 165.6, 164.8, 164.8, and 165.0. I am going with 165.2. Justin's had the exact variation as mine, so he went with 208.4. So far I am "winning" the race of total weight lost, and I am working hard to keep it that way (sorry honey, I want to win this one!) :)

Something else cool, Justin has been weighing himself at night, just for fun. Last night he was 211.4. I thought he was peeing it all out in the morning, and he must be. Actually, I think that's why we weigh in the morning, everyone knows you are several pounds heavier at night. Might I add, on The Biggest Loser, they weigh them at night. Strange.

Tonight might not be as easy as I am hoping, but we are having a good friend over for her birthday. Thankfully she is eating before she comes over, but I promised her at least a cupcake. Of course, Justin and I are going to avoid watching her eat it. It's such a little thing, let's hope it stays that way.

Unrelated to the HCG diet, yesterday was actually a REALLY good day!!! Boring as usual until 4pm, then 'fate' stopped by. Just so you all know, I am NOT a fatalist, yet still get excited when things seem like more than coincidence. Laura B had her very exciting second interview at that time yesterday as well as some other important work news, and I got an email inviting me back for a second interview. Then, as if by magic, my coworker suggested I check out what jobs are new on Monster. Low and behold, THE PERFECT JOB for Jami, in plain sight, in Arlington, OMG I WANT IT!!! Those of you who know more about my work life know that Arlington is much better than the dreaded DC office move. This position is called an entry level marketing coordinator, but the description is for a junior level proposal coordinator. I have been trying to bust into the proposal and contracts arena since I first dipped my hands in their pools. The government is very inefficient, but contracting is interesting to me. Never thought anyone would say that, did you? Anyway, I applied and wrote what I think was a stellar cover letter to go with it. Everyone, keep your fingers crossed that it pays what I need and they want me too. Anyone else have anything significant happen at 4pm yesterday?

Lany, you get a special shout out to remind you to order your stuff. You are now being held accountable. I expect a confirmation comment sometime this week. :)

On to email.

Jami: 165.2; Total Weight Lost: 7.6 Pounds
Justin: 208.4; Total Weight lost: 6.4 Pounds
