HCG: Day 40

HCG: Day 40

While I am working toward increasing my calories, I thought that I’d put into perspective how much weight I have lost so far.

Take a look at the picture to the left. What is visible is 30 pounds of butter. Each of the boxes on the left is 1 pound of butter (you see there are a couple of half boxes). I have lost four more pounds than shown in the picture.

It think it is a pretty strong visual to think that all of that was in my body and now is no longer there after only 40 days.

When you are carrying the weight, you don’t really comprehend how much you are carrying because it is spread out throughout your body.

When you lose this much weight this fast, you notice it’s absence and really enjoy it.

I did go a little crazy on my dinner tonight… mixed vegetables… I had tomatoes, lettuce and green onions. I even had some salsa (heaven forbid). It was really good.

I rode my bike to work… 4.5 miles each way. It was a really nice ride. I think I’ll do that more often. It burns calories so hopefully I’ll offset the “mixed” veggies.
