One week down. Phew

So I started the HCG diet last Saturday. I gotta tell you this is a hard diet for me. I love food...and I eat when I'm stressed. I found that out the hard way. I did get a pretty good routine down until the weekend and then it all went to h##l. Yep, that's right I cheated all weekend. Good news, I haven't gained back as much as I thought...not yet anyways. I am going to try and start back strong tomorrow. So my plan is to continue this diet for up to 40 days (ya right) and then continue following the protocol of no sugar or starch for the 6 weeks or whatever...then I will start a work out routine with my friend Marcee and hopefully maintain a weight near 120 (115 if I'm really lucky). This gives me hope of someday eating what I like and still feeling good. This is the plan anyways. So whats the status?....drum roll please......start weight 147 (no kidding that's crazy huh) and after 1 week 140....hooray. I did loose 8 lbs really but gained 1 so far with my cheating. Bad news about the cheating no loss of inches. I am pretty disappointed in myself for the cheating but do see hope for the rest of the diet. I have been having some female issues and I don't know if that is due to the diet or what but I'm praying my BC is holding up....I really don't want to make the family any larger at this point. Some other side effects I've had are, a tension headache from about noon everyday, but on the plus side I have never slept harder in my entire life. I don't really get tired during the day and I don't fall asleep faster than normal but I don't think a freight train could wake me up once I'm there. Well, then again my kids waking up gets me every time but I think that's just a mom thing! So that's the plan and the status...keeping my fingers crossed that I can have more willpower this week...
