R1P2D18 - sick :(

Man, today is the 2nd day I have been home from work sick. Ugh. I am starting to feel a bit more human though so I am going to try to go to work tomorrow. We will see how it goes. I slept straight through lunch today so I wasn't sure what to do at that point. I ate an apple when I got up (around 4) and then I ate dinner as usual but I had David make my hamburger 4 ounces instead of 3.5 and had tomatoes as my veggie side. I am going to eat my other fruit later this evening as usual. We will see what the scale says tomorrow I guess. I stepped on this morning and was down just 0.4 from yesterday. I can't lie, I am disappointed. I am now on day 18 and I have lost 14.4 pounds. Yes, I know that is good but that is not as good as others on this diet. What am I doing wrong? There are SO many different variables you could play with you know? I will just be glad I am still just losing, even just a little, and not stalling like I have read some folks do. I need to order my next supply of hCG also since I am going to make this into a 40 day cycle.
