Wahoo! Even though I had a sugar cookie breakdown last night (don't ask) I went down in my weight. When I weighed myself this morning I was at 161. So I'm losing again. I can't wait to see my final weight loss number. I hope I continue to stick near the weight per day average. Not that I'd protest if I started losing more like 2 pounds per day. That would be utterly fabulous!

My HCG Diet Direct weight loss plan dieting buddy, Lisa, is bugged because she's only lost a few pounds. I told her I think it's because she doesn't drink enough water. She's been able to get attached to an herbal tea (she really likes hot drinks). But I never see her drinking water. She decided that she's going to fill a pitcher with water each morning so she can see how much she's drinking throughout the day.

I'm thinking about increasing my water amount since the last few days I've seen a slow down in weight loss. One of the plateau breakers listed in the HCG weight loss cure guide, a supplemental guide to Dr Simeons HCG protocol, is to increase the water amount (2 to 3 quarts per day). It also says you can add a cup of green tea. It makes me think about trying to incorporate green tea again even though I hated it. But if it increased the weight loss I'm sure I could choke it down.

I took my homeopathic HCG Diet Direct weight loss remedy breakfast, lunch and dinner as required by the HCG weight loss guide a supplemental guide to Dr Simeons HCG protocol. I took my B-Total Sublingual first thing in the morning. I tried Red Zinger herbal tea again in the morning. It was alright. I wish I could love it, but I don't. If I could put honey in it I'd like it much more, but that's wishful thinking.

For lunch I had the last of my Turkey and Tomato Soup leftovers with Melba Toast. And I had apples sliced with lemon squeezed on top as my fruit. I took some meat out of the freezer to defrost for dinner. For dinner I grilled chicken with Creole seasoning. It was even yummier since I had defrosted the meat first. I'll have to remember to plan ahead enough so that I don't cook my meals with frozen or partially frozen meat. I had more steamed cabbage and Melba Toasts along with the chicken.

Lisa called and said that she didn't come even close to finishing the pitcher of water she filled this morning. So that must be the problem. She's not getting enough water. She's going to try guzzling all of it in the  next hour before bedtime. I wasn't sure that was the best idea. But she insisted so we'll see how that goes. Either way we're supposed to both try to have more water tomorrow. I think the water bottle idea is working well. I keep water bottles in my car, in my purse, in my bedroom...everywhere. So I always have water no matter where I am.
