On Not Drinking

I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…

Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!

This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…

HCG Diet Day 21

Well, I weighed in the same as yesterday. I look and feel good but cannot break this weight!! UGH!! You have to take the last three days off from taking HCG, and I took it this morning, so I’m at least extending an extra day. Will see how I feel, if I feel like I’m…

Day 20 HCG Diet

I’m finally down a pound!! Wahoo!! … maybe due to the stomach issues last night? Haha. Hopefully I can continue to lose a pound a day until this thing is done. You also have the option of extending to 40 days. Should I? We’ll see. Breakfast: coffee 45-minute walk with the dog Lunch (2p): Salad…
