Day 13: Down .8 and 1.7

Jami: 152.6
Justin: 194.4

YAY! Love it when it works consistently. :) My success story from yesterday is this: My office ordered Chinese food, courtesy of my fantastic boss. I had a meeting with the boss after it arrived, so I was subjected to the ever-alluring scent of orange chicken. I resisted AND even took home some pizza from yesterday for the kids. Still haven't even tasted anything not on protocol. And I think I am being rewarded too. My friend Becca, whom you may have heard me call my 'reverse doppelganger' said something to me that stuck and has worked, "I can eat the same thing every day for a couple weeks, no problem. It's easy if it's to look the way I want." And she is right, I can totally eat the same thing several times a week because the results are there. And let's be honest, aside from the occasional tasteless chicken, the food is really good and satisfying.

Justin's loss was a bit of a surprise to him though. He has been working out intensely on our Wii since we started HCG in preparation for a snow boarding trip he is going on in 11 days. I think that is why his weight loss has been more erratic than expected. I had him add an egg in for breakfast for extra protein and he has popcorn as a snack at night. Doesn't seem to have affected anything though. :)

Now for the stellar news: Lauren is down 2.8!!!! HOLY CRAP, right? :) So proud of her! She is going to physical therapy almost daily, so you all can imagine the pain she is in even afterwards. For her to not eat her pain away is strength; we all know women tend to do that (I for sure am guilty of that! Hello Aunt Flo's bi-monthly bag of Hershey Hugs...). Anyway, Lauren is killing us with 7 wins to both Justin and I having only 2. Watch her win tons of money from the scratchers too.

Work is swamped, back to the grind. :)

Pounds to go:

Justin: 19.4
Lauren: 32.8
Jami: 17.6 (Woot!)
