Day 18 - Good Things

I have missed doing this for a week.

1. I am now very aware of how addicted to sugar I really am.
2. Knowles put 350K back into the company checking account.

4. They work day is almost over!
5. My relationship with my wife is good!
6. I accept my children for who they are.

Day 17 - Good Things

1. I have a job that I can play racquetball at lunch.
2. Catgenie people called back at 12:00 midnight their time and helped me fix the cat genie. It was 10:00PM my time.
3. I am still comtemplating how to reconcile Moroni's concerns that we are ashamed of Christ because we love our money more than the poor and needy and being members of the Christ's church on the earth (paying fast offering). Are we under condemnation?
4. I lost .9 pounds yesterday. I am still going down.

Day 17 - Good Things

1. Was able to stay calm when Karen was getting anxious about Jon inviting over Ean and Kayla.
2. Didn't feel hungry after lunch. Carlo Okolowitz invited me over to his house for some soup. The soup kept me filled up for 4 hours.
3. Lost two more points on the diet. At that rate I will have lost 40 lbs by the end of the first round (23 days).
4. It was beautiful outside. It snowed about a foot of snow. The trees were all weighed down.
5. Learned about walking by the needy and the poor and noticing them not. I think we do that all the time!

Day 16 - Good Things

1. Got my salary restored today. I have been asking in prayer and it happened.
2. Created new checking accounts with Karen so we have our own money to spend. This has been in the back wings for over two years.
3. Lost 3.5 pounds today. I am very hungry.
4. Got my amended tax return done.
5. I feel healthy

Day 15 - Good Things

1. I got through surgery and I wasn't sick.
2. Modern medicine is a blessing. Having the cyst removed from my groin area without it costing an arm and a leg is great.
3. Had all the family over Saturday and Sunday.
4. I lost 7 pounds since Sunday.
5. I am staying on my diet
6. Had scripture study over the weekend with James.
7. Had my salary restored. The first pay check is tomorrow.

This HCG diet is a little hard to do. I am hungry most of the time. I only 500 calories a day. Now, this takes discipline. The HCG supposedly burns of 3500 to 4000 calories a day. I hope to loose about 1.5 to 2 pounds a day. But I am hungry.

I was having major cravings on Easter Weekend. It felt like I was going through withdrawals all day long. I had a headache and didn't feel well.

I hope the HCG will kick in tomorrow causing my my hunger to decrease or just not feel any hunger. That is what's supposed to happen.
