Day 2: Down 2.7

Jami: 161.2
Justin: 202.0

Boo, I was hoping for a much larger drop for the first day of the vlcd. I guess I can't complain though. :) 2.7 is a lot of weight.

So my strategy is still eating as little as possible, though I am making sure to eat at least some of everything we're supposed to. I missed my grapefruit last night, just forgot until it was too late. The grapefruit is magic, so I won't be forgetting tonight.

Question for the followers: Do you think the blog keeps us more accountable or gives us a reason to over analyze what we are doing? Or both?

I still feel great about what I am doing, though I seriously need a new bed. Even before this round of HCG I have not been sleeping well. Just cannot get comfortable. Hopefully when annual increases come around we'll make it a point to get a new bed, and an expensive one at that.

I shouldn't say, "I told you so!" but I was right about Justin's lack of commitment yesterday. He was down just over a pound, which is not normal for the first day after the first day of the vlcd (too many of's...). Today he said, "Ok, today is my first real day." Unfortunately, I predict he has a slower loss in the beginning and gets frustrated earlier than the rest of us. I hope not, but that is my honest opinion.

Back to happy stuff. :) Tomorrow is going to be super busy at work, and therefore, super distracting. It is so much easier when you aren't thinking about the food you cannot eat.

Off to take a nap.

Pounds to go:
