mmmm...steak! again!

Yesterday was a "steak day". I had put on more than two pounds since my last hCG day, so I took Dr. Simeons' prescription. Nothing but pure water till dinner time, then wolf down (believe me that is the appropriate terminology for what happens next) the biggest juiciest steak you can find. In my case, that was two New York strip steaks, because that's what the grocer had on sale. So how is it possible that I ate a pound of beef and lost three pounds? I still don't get it, but I like it. I'm back on track - just 6/10ths of a pound over my ending weight and a total loss of 24 pounds since the first of the year, but really only "dieting" for 9 weeks total during that time.
You might remember that we discovered a couple of months ago that our scale wasn't working properly, which is crazy-making on a diet like this when you are supposed to weigh in every day, especially during the re-set phase (3). I went on line and did a bit of research and turned up this little beauty. It got great reviews from tons of customers (haha). Seriously - at the time I purchased it, there were 702 reviews, all positive. It really has lived up to its reputation as an inexpensive, good looking and extremely functional piece of technology, and something an hCG dieter can't live without - a bathroom scale that works!
