HCG Day 15 & 16

Did not have time to post yesterday due to my music students, and other visitors that stopped by. Yesterday was interesting, I ate out for the first time since starting the diet due to having to celebrate my MIL's birthday.

We went to this small Italian place, that only had 1 healthy item on the whole menu. It was a struggle, but I opted for the salad with grilled chicken. ... did eventually break down an have 1 stuffed mushroom and 1 slice of pizza. With that said, it's more control than I've ever been able to show at that place. Typically I'd have 4-5 slices of pizza, rolls, 1/2 the order of mushrooms, lots of creamy sauce and cheese. Although I admit to cheating, I've come a long way in changing how I eat. I left feeling great, and everyone got up from the table miserable and stuffed.

Saturday morning I woke with a .6 gain, which was surprising; however, I realized that I did not drink enough water Friday night between the work day and teaching students that evening.
Yesterday, I stayed hydrated all day, and even with eating out and my cheat, I saw a 1.8 loss this morning. Gotta to remember water, water, water!!!

Today is study day, I have several paper's to school. For the last year, on Sunday's when I'd study, I'd stress eat all day, junk, chips, cheese, fat, etc.
I'm changing those habits, so if I have to stress eat now, it helps that the HCG makes me not hungry, but I'll also snack on veggies, fruits and grilled protein.
