New Diet - hCG!

I'm a little late but hopefully I can catch up - I'm on day 11 of the hCG diet. I take hormone drops twice a day and eat a very low calorie diet for a cycle of 35 days. After that cycle, I stop taking the hormone drops but continue watching what I eat under a maintenance period, increasing my caloric intake from just 500 per day to between 1200-1500 per day for a period of at least 21 days. I plan to do the maintenance period for at least 35 days as well. I have a goal to reach before going on vacation November 9th. I would like to lose at least 25 pounds. I know I can do it - I hope to lose more but I have to be realistic with my goals. More info on the hCG diet and the foods for Phase 2 & 3 (phase 1 is a 2-day loading period where you eat all you can eat), find the info here: http://www.hcg-diet.info/

So here's the past 10 days in a nutshell:

Starting weight: 235 (or thereabouts, I saw 238 and 236 on my "loading days" but the morning of my first hCG drops was 235 point-something)

Day 1: 235

Day 2: 234.0

Day 3: 231.4

Day 4: 229.8

Day 5: 227.8

Day 6: 227.0

Day 7: 225.4

Day 8: 224.2

Day 9: 224.2

Day 10: 223.8

Day 11: 223.2

So now I have to explain myself before I weigh-in tomorrow morning. I cheated! I had a free birthday burger to redeem at Red Robin and today was the expiration date. I had planned on buying it "to go" for my daughter Marissa to eat for dinner but then our friends found out we were going and they decided to go with us - and it became a sit-down meal at the restaurant. I still thought I could get through it until an appetizer was ordered: the Onion Tower. That's it, I was going to have one - just one! Nope... I took 2 and ate them in sweet delight figuring it was just 2 onion rings and I could burn that off quickly. Then I had dip left on my plate so I had to have another one to swipe up what was left over... please? Lol. Yep, I did it... but at least that was the end of the onion rings for me. However, I ordered my burger lettuce-wrapped (no bun) with a salad as a side instead of fries. Good for me, right? Wrong. I mean it was a good decision but everyone else had fries and I had a couple, er, well we'll say 5 - I think. Yep, it was probably 5. All in all it was a rather healthy meal on anyone else's standards but for the hCG diet - it was way off protocol!!! Don't worry though - tomorrow is right back to protocol and continuing with my efforts! I just wonder how much that meal may have set me back? I shall find out in a few hours...
