NOT A GOOD MORNING!!!

Unfortunately the scale does determine my moods :(.

I weighed in today at 136.0.

I'm up .4lbs since yesterday.

NOT HAPPY about that.

I realized on my way to work that I left my HCG drops at home. So, I will not be able to take them this afternoon....GRRRRRRRR.

I also discovered something else this morning and I am so freaking ticked off!!!

The Local HCG Protein shakes that I have been drinking.

I thought it was 80 calories for one scoop (one serving)……WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason I looked at the label again today…….it’s 80 calories for one TABLESPOON, not SCOOP.

The scoop holds 2 tbsp!!! maybe even 2 ¼  or 2 ½ .  Why the $#%#%^ would they put a scoop in the container that doesn’t equal the serving size?!?!?!?!!?

I have been using the scoop since my first VLCD, thinking it was 80 calories, not realizing it was double.

 

That MIGHT explain the weight gain….I just looked at my food log and when I made the adjustment on the calories, that means I consumed 564 freakin calories yesterday!!

 

I have made the sdjustments on the rest of the days on my food log to reflect the EXTRA 80 calories that I did not realize I was consuming. Sure enough, there were FOUR days this week that i was over 560 calories. Sunday I was at 592!!!

The bright side is that I have lost 3.2 lbs since last Friday. That's 3.2 lbs in 7 days....on any other diet I would be thrilled with that number. BUT with this diet it should be at least 5lbs!!

My wonderful sister said, "Thats frustrating but good that you figured it out." She is absolutely right!

So, I guess I have to make the mental adjustment in my head. I need to be HAPPY that I lost 3.2lbs so far this week and keep moving forward to see more weight come off.

I'm nervous about Sunday b/c of Easter. I'm trying to find some HCG recipes for things that I can make for Easter dinner.  We have family coming into town and we are hosting Easter at our house. I'm definitely going to need the right frame of mind to NOT cheat on Sunday.!!

Best of Luck to ME and all of YOU!!!!!!

PS - I am very proud of my SISTER - she has lost 3.5 lbs since last Friday!!!!!! You Go Girl!!!!
