Weight: 156.0
It seems completely inconceivable to gain 6 pounds in two days. So I have a theory; all water weight plus the weight of the food I ate this weekend. I was doing really well on Saturday at first, considering I had Laryngitis. I only ate protocol food, even if just a little more than normal. Then it was dinner time and I had already eaten all my food for the day. The kids were running me ragged and I broke down. We had crab cakes and slices of cheese for dinner. Then my loving husband did exactly what I asked him to do, and brought me some Easter candy. Man was it Delicious!!! Justin really was a saint Saturday night. He took the kids out shopping and let me rest at home all by myself. All I did was watch Father of the Bride one and two and exercise, but it was amazing me time.
Then he continued being an awesome husband and took us out to National Harbor for Easter lunch. We ate at a very posh Mexican place, so needless to say, I indulged on chips, quesadillas, and a margarita. And of course, more candy throughout the day. I did try to 'wash' it all out by drinking tons of water and tea, but that seems to have backfired. Instead of peeing it all out like normal I retained at least 50% of it. I know this because my restroom breaks were fewer than normal. And strangely, when I am sick, I feel like exercising. And exercise I did. Nothing too strenuous, just some butt lifts and such. But, put all that together and it is no surprise my weight is up to much this morning. Unfortunately there are several factors here, so my apple day may work and may not work. And either way, I won't have isolated the problem. Wait, who am I kidding? The problem is cheating, no doubt about it. I will just keep my fingers crossed that eating nothing by apples today brings me down a couple pounds a day for the next couple days.
My final comment about the HCG diet: in spite of what appears to be a massive gain, I still look thinner than I have since college. None of that weight is showing anywhere (which is the other reason I think it is water weight).
Other good news from the weekend; we found a new babysitter! Yay! Her house is immaculately clean, her kids are well behaved, her youngest is 2 1/2 and potty trained, and she is super nice. And less expensive than Zar. :) Add that she is exactly half way between Justin's work and home and she is ideal. We are really happy to start with her next week. I am sure this week I will notice even more reasons to be happy about leaving Zar too. Like knowing I won't have to put wet kids in my car in the evenings since they only get changed at 2pm and no later. And not having to carry kiddie cups with me to fill up my parched kids on the way home. And most exciting, No More Bite Marks!
Alright, off to work. Happy Monday!
