August 6th we did a counseling session and I received the drops and information and a Buddy to do it with. We agreed we would start on 8/8 because the first 2 days you "load" you can eat any and everything you want. So my buddy thought it was cute to do "we ate on 8/8" easier to remember I guess.
8/7 I scanned back thru the packet to see what I needed to do for the next two days and made a mental note of what I needed to go shopping for before day 3 starts with the 500 calorie limitation and no oils or sugars in anything from food to make-up.
8/8 I got up when my alarm sounded and did my 1st 12 drops and then went back to snooze for about 15 minutes. Put my bathing suit on and took some BEFORE photos. Got dressed for work and then grabbed a Super Sonic Breakfast Burrito (i'm going to miss those-but not the pounds) and drank my last Cranergy. I did not purchase a scale yet but my last doctor visit July 22nd I weighed 211!!!
Almost time to take my second round of Drops-taking them every 6 hours or so to kind of keep them even during my awake hours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I bought a scale and verified the 211 was correct.
I made a grocery list and bought 4 days worth of groceries for $37-NICE!
I ate at Villa Montez on Load Day 1 and Sonic on Load Day 2 to say good bye to my favorite friends.
The drops work-on Load Day 1 I didn't want to Load-eat as much as I normally do.
8/10 I weighed and had already lost .5 lbs!! That is with the 2 Load Days!
I am faithfully doing my drops at 8am but the 2pm and 8pm are fluxuating an hour or so here and there, but still seem to be doing thier job.
Today is the 1st Day of Phase 2 the Low Calorie Days-I am aiming to do the max 40 which is actually 41 LC days. Went to FRESH and bought 7 oz pieces of Natual Chicken Breast and Beef , Apples, Strawberries, Cucumbers, Celery and Jacksonville Tomatoes and a package of Grissini Breadsticks. After Grilling the 7oz meat I cut it in half and I have lunch and dinner portions. So far so Easy!
Oh and bought some Herbal Tea-did a English Breakfast Black Tea this morning-Kuerig's ROCK!
Ate chicken and one tomato for lunch and saved the apple and breadstick incase I get the 3pm munchies.
``````````````````````````````````````````````
Yesterday went great on the 500 calorie day! I woke up hungry and drank black breakfast blend tea and was good until lunch. I got really tired about 5pm so when I got home I took a nap. Went to John's soccer game and didn't even miss having a beer. Started getting hungy a bit before dinner, but I ate late. Had an Apple for dessert. So on with Day 4!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love Herbal Tea, don't care for Stevia, but really no need for it in the tea.
I forgot to weigh today but that will make tomorrow that much better! I did step on the scale last night just for fun and it was .2 or .3 down! You always weigh more at night so that is great news.
Grissini Beadsticks are the BOMB! I don't think any breakstick could taste any better!
I am sorely missing my Burt's Bees Lip Balm and can not find a Lip Balm that does not have any digestable oils in it. Aloe Vera did not do the job ;(
I spoke with another friend who has done this so now I have another support system who has been there and done that and highly recommends it.
I am also removing all the food and alcohol related pages from my Facebook page so I won't be bombarded by temptation. It might take me the whole 40 days to get them all-WOW!
``````````````````````````````````
Well I am on Day 8 of Drops and 6 on Low Calorie and I managed to drop 3 pounds between Saturday and Sunday morning and gain .2 by Monday. So I need to look back and see what I added or did differently to gain. I am not discouraged tho-still down over 9 pounds in a weeks time and I love the stuff I am eating.
I went to a party Saturday-I did a seperate blog about that-I was down 3 the next morning!
Sunday I did absolutely nothing but watch tv and read-I am almost done with the Blue book about the HGC program-interesting stuff and somewhat funny in spots.
Well here is to Week 2!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up Monday to an increase in weight-Bummer-was determined to figure out why.
So glad I am keeping a Food Blog too. Got home and looked at one of the spices used on the fish and it had sugar as an ingredient, I had used Regular toothpaste Sunday night and I am at the beginning of my cycle. I hope that is the answer.
Tuesday (Day 9 or 7 LCD) I woke up 30 minutes early and weighed - I was down about a pound and did my drops. By the time I got to work I was starving and the tea wasn't doing much good. I lasted until lunch tho.
Will stay on track with my drops.
My elbows are hurting when I wake up-no idea if that has anything to do with the diet or not-will ask.
Other than that I feel fantastic and not tempted by other people eating or drinking.
I now know why we are fat after a day of watching TV w/o the DVR to fast forward thru commercials-there are food commercials in abundance! Back to DVR'ing!
``````````````````````````````
I went swimming with Misty Tuesday night and ate before I went saving my apple for later as swimming always makes me hungry. Took a bottle of water and stayed for a few hours. Came home and so glad I had saved my Apple but then could only eat half of it! I had forgotten to take my drops so I took them late, around 11.
Back on track Wednesday Day #10 and .2 pounds from being UNDER 200!!!!!!
Day 11 and I am 199.7!! Heck Yes! I am under 200! Short Term Goal MET!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 12 and I am 12.5 Pounds Lighter!!! Ok people this stuff works! And I am enjoying life. Yes it is restrictive but it is easy stuff. Shopping for the right stuff is the hard part and with places like FRESH, Central Market and Whole Foods it is EASY PEASY and FUN. The Meat Market staff at FRESH know me well and they are so super duper nice.
I shop about 2 or 3 times a week just so I get the freshest stuff. I make 3 or 4 days worth of meals up at a time so I am not cooking every night (or John). I'm not hungry, cranky, splotchy or anything that comes with dieting. My lips are dry and crackly but that was because of my Burt's Bees HABIT! Still looking for a good alternative.
I am a Believer!
```````````````````````````````````
Broke down and bought some Medicated Blistex as that is listed as somewhat safe in the book, used it for 3 days and only lost .4 or .5 each of those days. Stopped using it!
Went to the Movies and didn't crave popcorn or soda! (more in my Social Blog)
Went to FRESH and bought several meals worth of meat and John grilled for me. Still only spent like $64 including some fruit and veggies. Again the meat market and seafood market guys are the absolute best! I give them a challenge and I think they enjoy it! (let me think it ok?)
Loved the Shrimp I grilled on the George Foreman, not so much the Tilapia I did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was nauseated a bit this morning. Feeling fine now at lunch.
Ocaasionally the last week I have had those moments where I felt like I was just going through the motions-don't really care for it much but I CAN DO ANYTHING FOR 40 DAYS!!
I like grilled red onions.
Another friend of mine starts the program tomorrow-so proud to be making a difference by example!
Day 16 felt nauseous and weak-went home and went to bed
``````````````````````````````
Day 17 weighed and did not lose and ounce POO! But today is a new day and I feel better! So onward we go!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 18 some realizations-If I cut my protien into small single bite pieces it seems to go farther and I get to savor the flavor, it really is good. I can feel bad or stressed and not have a need to eat everything in site. I seem to roll with the punches a bit easier (I have been working on that a while so don't know if it has anything to do with diet or not) Whatever the day or evening brings I can adjust with it and still remain true to the program. Preparing a week's worth of protien is the ideal situation. Fruit and Veggies for about 4 days and then I want them fresh. Black Breakfast Teas is getting old to my taste buds, need to go Tea shopping, I don't do coffee. Not losing anything one day does not end the world-makes you more careful about the next day. I am actually enjoying what I am eating and how. One of the easiest, least expensive weight loss programs I have tried with the quickest results!
I have Parrot Head Social this evening, I think I will go home and eat first and show up a little later, helps resist any tempations. I have a Plan and I am Working My Plan and My Plan is Working.
````````````````````````````````
I had a fallen tree I had to go check on and John was home so I skipped the Parrot Head social. (chickened out mostly I think, but that's ok I got other stuff I needed done, done.)
Went and purchased new antipersperant and condition because I ran out of mine. Found ones w/o surgar, corn starch or digestable oils at Drug Emporium. Used the anti last night.
Went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and got Earl Grey Tea and used it this morning. It was a nice change up. Trying to locate a Chai Tea without sugar.
I also switched my fruit to before lunch as I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that you should digest fruit before anything else as it is lighter and more acidic so it helps in digestion later. Also if you eat an apple before a meal you get fuller faster. High water content too.
Last two days have been a bit stressful and I only lost .6, which is better than 0. I have also had red meat for dinner every night since Sunday. Probably should only do it twice a week max.
Dr. Dave is coming here tomorrow to share the program with some friends-I am SO EXCITED for them and I get my second round of drops-going for 40!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I LOVE Orange Roughy! Needs to be on the George Foreman vs. the Grill, the grill holds in the fat because you grill it in foil. GF drains off the fat.
5 more ladies got the information they need and the drops to start the program and I bought two of the creams, one for weightloss and one for hormonal balance. I also bought a lotion HCG approved-using it on my lips!!
Friday we went out and I stayed on the program. Saturday I had events one after the other starting at 11ish until 4ish so I was way off my schedule of eating and drops. I managed, just don't recommend it.
Sunday was back on track.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went to the Granary-interesting...
`````````````````````````````````````````
For the first time in 20 something day I truly wanted to go out and eat and drink and just chill-I missed it sorely. I considered calling a "sponsor" to talk me off the ledge, but then I remembered I always wear my big girl panties and so I pulled them up and moved on. Went home at ate my steak and cucumbers took a hot bath and just vegged out. Much better plan! I am now past DAY 23 which is the minimum amount of days you can be on the program-I still think I am going for 40!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am almost 189! My second short-term goal! Next is 170.
I have cut out my Grissini Bread Sticks to see if they make a difference, so far I haven't notice a significant weightloss w/o them, but will keep doing it for a while. I have one in a baggie I keep with me incase I am somewhere and can't get to my food or just get the munchies. I went to L.U.S.H. and stayed on the program. Visitation, Funeral, Tree Falling, Unexpected large Expenditure and I have yet to cave or really get sideways about any of it. LIFE IS GOOD! Started a Multi-Vitamin Night before last. Upsets my tummy a little bit but not long. John is back to being my personal chef, my chicken and fish taste like crappola! He's so awesome! So very proud of my friends who are giving this a try and doing so well on it! Bought a new outfit off a Mannequin the other night! They put the smaller sizes on them! I find when I blog at lunch I eat a lot slower and savor every bite. Peace Love and Happiness this IS my Birthday MONTH!!
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
I ate an apple with my chicken for lunch instead of my veggie. Not bad!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crazy, crazy crazy! These last two weeks.
Went to FRESH Friday night and bought loads of groceries for John and I. Ended up having to go back because we were over charged for something and didn't realize until we go it home. They comped the whole thing-so it was free minus the gas and hassle. So needless to say I was late eating dinner so I just had fruit and called it a night.
Saturday I ate at FRESH with Kelly and Cory and helped her shop. Went to see Penelope at the Potjie and then home to eat. Sunday was somewhat lazy except a few errands and we did walk the dogs about a mile. Monday floated around the pool with Kelly and then Misty colored my hair. Figured out it might be the Vitamin B I added that is keeping me at 188.something since Friday morning. Will stop as of Tuesday to see if it helps.
Tuesday is birthday! Going to do seafood at home! Also going to stop taking the Drops as this is day 30 and I am going to be traveling some. So Wed-Fri I will be without drops and on the 500 Calories, should still drop some weight in these 3 days. Saturday I can eat more just no Sugars or Starches for 3 weeks or more. Then can add sugar and starches slowly back in. If I maintain my weight for 6 weeks after the drops I can start another round. Which October will be better for me as John won't be around for dinner much if at all with Haunted House going.
```````````````````````````````````````
If you have dogs and they show an interest in your fruit intake, go to PetSmart and by them the Fruit Snacks by Nutro! They are awesome. My dogs have never had people food but have gone nuts over the smell of my fruit when I am eating it. Problem solved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was a little aprehensive about no drops today and staying on the 500 calories, but I am eating Lunch about an hour later just because I wasn't hungry. Still not real hungry but was time to eat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 2 w/o the drops still not hungry. Only lost .4 pounds but it's a loss. So not sure the B Vitamins was the cause. Will be traveling Friday night so will have to pack my dinner for travel. Saturday I can eat more normally, just have to stay away from Starch and Sugars for atleast another 3 weeks.
If this part is done correctly then my Thalamus(sp) should be reset to tell my I am full before I am stuffed and change my cravings to better stuff like fresh fruits instead of sugary desserts. Will be interesting to see how all this works on me. I know it can be done, have several great examples of it working long term. My fresh tomatoes are losing thier taste, so sad to see them go. One of my favorites on this program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 3 w/o the drops and got a tad bit hungry about the time to eat. I had plan to bring my chicken and my shrimp for lunch and dinner so when I was traveling this evening I could still eat right. I LEFT MY CHICKEN! So I will eat my shrimp for lunch and will have to wing it best I can tonight on the road...
Tomorrow I will be in Baytown for the Special Needs Rodeo and lunch is hamburgers and hot dogs served with chips, fruit and a drink. I will eat fruit and have a water. I stopped and bought cucumbers and tomatoes at the Farmers Market this morning. So I have veggies to travel with and fruit. My only problem will be the protien. Most restaurants cook with oils and butters-still a no-no at this point.
We'll see-I'm pretty good at making do with what I have...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday night we stopped in Humble at Brick House Tavern (very cool place) and I ordered a Sirlion Strip Salad w/o condiments. Ate half of the steak and all the tomatoes and a few greens. Lots of water.
Saturday I am off any restrictions except No Sugars or Starches. Chai Tea for Breakfast, Apple for Lunch and then we went to a Mexican food place in Baytown and I ordered a chicken breast with lettuce. Ate half the Chicken Breast and some of the lettuce with tea and water. We went to after party at a local watering hole and I drank water and more water. Skipped the adult beverages, pizza and wings. We left there and decided to drive home. Stopped at Whataburger I got more water.
Sunday was home and down 2.2 pounds from Friday morning! Still eating what I was eating the last 30 or so days just not obsessed with measuring it.
Cari told me that eating the apple first during the day made a lot of difference so I am trying to do an apple before lunch. Tanya told me she doesn't lose as much weight if she does not eat everything on the list. I shared with her about the Apple first Cari told me. I love my support group!
```````````````````````````````````
I think I am at my maintenance weight until the next round in Oct. 185.2. I took my After photos this morning-haven't looked at them yet nor compared them to the Before. Went shopping last night and reading labels realized I should just stick to what I have been eating for the 3 weeks maintenance. Everything has Sugar and/or Carbs. I am starting to miss the carbs a bit. But just a bit. I like the missing 26 pounds more than I am missing the carbs. Going to the Longview Fair this week-no corny dogs ;( but maybe by Texas State Fair in Dallas I can have a bite or two of one. I should make my trip to the Fair one of my Load Days in October! I hope to lose about 35 more on round 2.
IF I get brave and figure out how to post pics on the blog I will post before and after shots...
Before are 1st 3-Last 3 are after 26 pounds-can't tell that much difference in this suit... (But I can feel it!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have 2 more weeks on the Phase 3 with is no Starches or Sugars. Then I will start over and do another 30-40 days. Which will actually take me a week past Thanksgiving, but I will be eating normally by Christmas, so it is all good. Thanksgiving will be in Phase 3 so it won't be as limiting, just no dressing ;( or Rolls. John will be excited-more dressing for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ate 2 fruits yesterday and stayed home for dinner and ate right-skipped breakfast. Down .4 of the .6 I had gained in the last two days. It pays to stay at home and eat. Will add breakfast back in tomorrow morning and see how that goes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skip the sauces, bread and butter and potatoes and give me the Protein and Veggies!! Eating out doesn't have to be banned for life, you just need to know how and where to do it. Weight Watcher's stuff on the menu's aren't all good, you have to read the descriptions and make your own decisions. If it is not marked "healthy" doesn't mean it is all bad, again READ and make a smart choice. Don't be afraid to ask for stuff to be left off or on the side. Or ask how they prepare it. It can be done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't eat any fruit until yesterday evening and man could I tell a difference. Need my fruit early and often. It helps with water level and energy level. Decide to stay home Wed night instead of starting my weekend early so I can eat right Wed night and Thur morning. Thursday from lunch until Sunday night will be eating out. Still on Week 2 of Maintanence Phase 3 so trying to be careful as much as possible. Really excited about starting again! Have some friend struggling with it, want to help them without seeming pushy or bossy. I understand you have to be in the right place in your life mentally, physically and emotionally. Afterall I carried my weight around without worry for quite a few years. I was just ready in all those aspects when I started my program AND I had seen it work and last on others I knew. ( found out a friend who I know had limited time has 3-5 days to be here on earth today, not a shock but still very devastating) Normally this would send me to the nearest Restaurant with Adult Beverages and just be indulgent. I realize that is no way to handle life's stresses. I can handle anything when I am physically fit and mentally clear. So I will continue to strive for that goal. My heart hurts but I will not stuff it with food. I will surround myself with good people and good things and good deeds. I CAN DO THIS!
``````````````````````````````
So this is what I did, a whole lot of bawling my eyes out over the period of the day(Ron passed away around 4:30pm), drove straight to my nail place and got the works, went home like a good girl and ate good. I didn't really want to be by myself but I would deal with it. Then a friend called who was in town wondering where we were out drinking and I said "where you wanna go". John was in a meeting and I needed someone to distract me from my thoughts. So we met at El Chico Ranch and I had 1 Beer and didn't even finish it. Did not taste as good as I remember it, lol. This is a good thing. Was pleasantly distracted with catching up with a friend and then John joined us when he got done with his meeting and it was a better evening than day. I didn't go out and splurge on eating or drinking and didn't even really like the 1 adult beverage I had. I am liking this new life!
I lost 2 pounds from Tue am and Wed am-don't know if it was the skipped lunch or all the water weight in tears. I am eating lunch today I promise, just wasn't in the mood yesterday. I am not suppose to be losing weight during maintenance, but I will take 28.5 down over 26.5 anytime.
```````````````````````````````````
Well I did eat lunch Wed however I had 6 Mexican Shrimp Cocktail Shrimps and 3 beers for Dinner and on Thur morning I weighed 181.9. So still losing weight on maintanence. Thank goodness because I put 2.6 pounds on over from Thur am to Mon am traveling to convention and then to Ron's Visitation I didn't exactly eat appropriately the whole time. I had sugars and starches here and there. I will do a Steak Day and see if I can get that down a pound or 2 today and tried to keep eating right until Saturday. Saturday Oct. 1st I will start my 2nd Round of Drops-My Load Day 1 will be at the State Fair of Texas!! Corn Dogs here I come! I am so excited about Round 2 now that I know all the kinks and sabatours! We will do much better ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok PHASE 3 IS VERY IMPORTANT!! I did a steak day yesterday (not as hard as I thought) and I am up .2 lbs. GRRRR! However this has convinced me to do the whole 6 weeks before starting again as stated in the Protocol. Either way I am in maintenance by Thanksgiving and done before Christmas Eve. Might as well do it right. Any other time I have questioned the protocol or not followed the directives it has not been good. As the book states the Doctor did research this for over 25 years and he knows what he is talking about. So Friday will be my last day of No Sugar, No Starches at all and Saturday I get to slowly add them in for the next 3 weeks. Then I should be able to start Round 2 with my Hypathalmus reset at a lower weight point then when I started 8/8 and then Round 2 will reset it even lower and then I can eat what I want when I want without much fluctuation and I will have learned to eat a lot healthier better tasting real foods. PHASE 3 IS VERY IMPORTANT!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steak day WORKS-be prepared to visit the ladies room a lot tho-it gets rid of all your excess fluids. I am back down to 182.1. My lowest point was 181.9. I'm happy with that. This is my last week of the first 3 on Maintnenance aka Phase 3 then I get to slowly start adding sugars and starches for 3 weeks and then I will start Round 2!!
Went to Drug Emporium last night and looked for some Peanut Butter without sugar and discovered Almond Butter. Tried the Almond Butter with my Apple for breakfast this morning and it is YUMMY!
`````````````````````````````````````````
Yesterday I went to a friends Kabob/Gyro joint as I had been craving the lamb/beef combo. Got it on a bed of greens with a sauce and it was so good. I was up .2 this morning but so worth it. Today is my last day on the No Sugar, No Starch Restriction. Tomorrow I get to start the 3 weeks of slowly adding in Sugars and Starches and see how that goes. Hopefully my Hypothalmus is reset at 182 and I won't fluctuate much. October 22nd I will start round 2! So very excited. Tomorrow we go to the State Fair of Texas and I will have to have a bite or two of a Corny Dog! It's just going to happen and I am ok with that. Might have to do another steak day but maybe not. Another friend started the plan Monday and has alreadly lost 5 pounds!! It is so exciting to hear the success stories. Keep em coming ladies. Another friend has asked me about the program and is very interested. I love being the good example for a change, lol. Life is good, God is great and People are Crazy and that is what it is!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went out to eat and to the State Fair of Texas and still 182.1 come Sunday morning which means the maintanence is working! Can not wait to start Round 2!! Who's in? This truly is amazing :)
````````````````````````````````
I am still 182.1 and eating when I want and pretty much what I want within some reason. Still feels good to eat healthy so I am. But yesterday I had a lot of Cheese, not on purpose, just worked out that way and still weigh 182.1. It is so tempting to start round 2 NOW, but the protocol says wait 6 weeks after the last 500 cal day. So I will wait. Have 2.5 weeks to go. I am not in a size 12 yet but the 14s are fitting nice and loose. Nice change from an 16W and 18! Size 8/10 is my goal! I am ready to start exercising too, we will see how that goes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went to Chuy's last night ordered what I wanted and stopped eating before I got stuffed and lost 1.5 pounds!!
``````````````````````````````````````
Had 1.5 Long Island Ice Teas and a Rum Ball last night and still dropped another .5 pounds! Weird. I am so ready for Round 2! But going to wait until I have completed Maintenance.
That's all for now-but way more to follow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning of that whole cycle thing-ugh. I have been hungry last couple days and I do eat when I get hungry and fill up pretty fast and have managed to still lose. Last night I ate a whole Grecian Salad with Chicken-all of it! Had the dressing on the side and used it more of a dip so didn't use a lot of it but the rest was all gone. It was GOOD too. Had a Corona too. I weighed back at my maint weight of 182.1 today. 180.1 was nice for a whole day, lol. This morning I headed to Addie's Pantry for Breakfast and got a Kolache and French Puff Breakfast Pastry and ate half the bread and all the meat of the Kolache and after 2 bites of the pastry I had a sugar rush, didn't finish it, maybe afternoon snack. LOL! Funny how things affect me now.
```````````````````````````````````
I was very bad all weekend long! I ate junk and I paid for it but didn't gain. I stayed near a bathroom all day Saturday. Sunday was a little better. But I remained at 182.1 until Monday morning where I weighed 181.7! Lessons learned: My body is not accustomed to junk anymore and will tell me so. I can not eat very much at one setting but I am hungry more times a day, which I think is how it is suppose to be. Several small meals rather than 3 big ones your body can not digest at once and therefor stores the excess as bad fat. I can eat junk and not gain weight as long as I listen to my body/brain tell me when I am full and STOP! It's ok to leave food on your plate. It's ok to have left overs or share with a friend. It's actually kind of cool to go out and pay for one meal and have 2 or 3 from it. Wearing clothes that fit the new weight makes you feel skinnier! I gave some clothes that don't fit anymore to another friend who is on the program losing too-that felt awesome too. Resale shops are your friend while you are still losing or inbetween programs like me. I bought a pair of capris and two blouses for around $20! I have 12 more days of Maint and then I will start again for 30 more pounds!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found the one thing you probably can never eat again without some gain-PIZZA! Yep it is a gainer. Not much, like 1/2 a pound, but it's a gain even in maint. I did have a huge salad with that, hoping it would help and only ate 2 full slices and the toppings off a small slice but the scale showed .6+. Oh well I only like to eat pizza occasionally, so I am good. Even Bourbon Soaked Bread Pudding didn't make me gain like Pizza! LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Partied like a Rock Star woke up like One! Weighed 1.5 MORE then yesterday morning. Went back to bed slept a couple of hour more weighed again and was DOWN 1.5. So back at yesterday's weight. Just out of curiousity I weighed later and was DOWN .2 MORE!! I am RESET!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday was a bad tummy day-guess I have earned it...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still crappy Tuesday. Last night I told John I was so ready to start eating healthy at home again. We had bad food at BWW and Bad Service at Chili's with mediocre food. I get good food and service at home consistently! I have also managed to put on a couple of pounds since Friday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tummy better today. No alcohol yesterday and only half my food at dinner. Scale going back down too. 2 and half more days before I start the HCG Drops again for 30-40 days! I am so excited about the potential of losing 30 more pounds! 150ish here I come!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ended at 185 from 211-no too shabby
Start a brand new blog for Round 2
Bye
