Half way gone

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Also happy half way through HCG! Dustin and I started the HCG diet on April 23rd and it's been basically amazing! We are now 13 days into it, the half way point, and have been pleased the with results. I have lost 13 lbs. and Dustin has lost 15! We are super excited about that and excited to lose a little more. It has been difficult but yet easy at the same time. Some days, like today, I am not hungry at all and don't even eat all my 500 calories (don't know if that's bad or not, we'll see), and then some days, we are pretty hungry. I guess the more we go along, the easy it gets and the more will power we have to resist temptations outside of the diet. The one thing that has been driving us nuts though is the craving for chocolate cake... okay, not just ANY chocolate cake, but Costco's chocolate cake. That stuff is amazing. And Dustin and I don't really like cake... But this cake has been haunting our taste buds ever since we saw it when we were loading up on chicken, spinach, and strawberries at Costco. It was during a gorging day so we could have bought it and eaten to our hearts content, but considering it's a massive cake and we only had that night to eat it, we decided to not spend $20 on a guilty pleasure. But now it continues to haunt. Only 13 days left of 500 calories, then 21 days of no starches and sugars, and then my friend, THEN we eat cake. And enjoy it. But enjoy it 20 pounds lighter than before. How beautiful is that. :)
