I knew I could put that bad weekend to rest quickly and I did!  I decided to only take in 500 calories (as they typical HCG diet dictates) for Monday, instead of my usual 700.  I drank a good gallon of water and didn’t even think about bad foods (that adds weight you know! ).  [...]

I had a little bit of a cheat day yesterday and the result saw a 2lb gain over the weekend.  I couldn’t help it.  My wife and I took the kids to a Cardinals/Royals game and the smell of food kept tugging at me, reminding me “Hey.. I’m an old friend.  Remember me?!”  I gave [...]

That’s enough to make a guy stay committed.    I hit the scale this morning and thought “Wow.. that’s a bunch!”.  I even ate out last night so dropping another pound overnight was nice to see!

Day 7 was a great start to the week. No hunger pains.. Back to work and it was 1pm and time to eat before I knew it! My daily meals have turned into the same thing every time now. 1) Chicken breast, half a bag of salad w/ fat/sugar free dressing, and an apple. 2) [...]

Well this day was the first time I cheated.  It was Father’s Day and we went to see Toy Story III.  Having 2 kids, my wife grabbed the Sunday special of 1 large bucket of popcorn and 1 extra large Coke Zero for only $5!  In just a few minutes, I realized that I wasn’t [...]

Day 5 saw the first time I had to do the VLCD on the weekend. It’s a bit tougher for me.. only because I’m used to running around all day and just kind of grabbing what I want. I’ve always allowed myself to eat a little more on the weekend. And.. we were celebrating my [...]

I woke up this morning, half-expecting a full pound to be gone, and maybe secretly hoping it would be a couple.  I put on my birthday suit, stepped up to the scale..  5 lbs gone!!  Wow.  That’s insane.  I don’t know that I want to lose quite that fast!  But..  I was still happy because [...]

I was definitely not hungry for breakfast!  This was my first meal of the day and I ate it at 1:30, after a hard training session of back and bi’s at the gym.  I still wasn’t very hungry.  I’ll take that as a good sign.  My energy at the gym was over the top.  I [...]

Holy smokes..  I feel fat!!  These first 2 days are so fun though.  I can’t remember the last time I’ve ate so much and the best part of all.. no guilt!  I’m supposed to be doing this!  My wife is doing the diet with me and we’ve just been lauging at all the insane things [...]
