Another Day :) and TMI

Upping my dosage seems to be helping overall. Had a 2.2 loss since yesterday. Did the deed and was told I was getting bony in a few spots. LMBO. Asked if he got hurt lol I always said you cant break a big girl when it comes to that :P
I have been pretty energetic in the mornings. Not sure if its because of the double dose I take early or what. But it helps with end of the year paperwork. Rearranged my office. So yeah for me.
Well that's all for now.
Seeing as I haven't posted a funny in awhile here goes:

Back in the Saddle Again

Woke up with a 4.2 loss. So in 2 days almost lost all of that cheating weight. Cant wait to start dropping some real pounds. I upped my dosage to help stave off hunger for the first week. Then Ill probably take the just one shot. I will see how it goes and try and isten to my body. Seriously have drank enough water to float a small boat.

Things I Have Learned Off Protocol

One thing I have learned is that going off protocol can quickly bring disasterous results and quickly. Secondly I feel so much more better while on protocol and while not deviating. Thirdly water is very important. It helps stave off hunger and helps the HCG do its thing. Like flush the fat out. Amazingly I like life better on protocol. Going one week off of protocol had me gaining the ten pounds I lost on being on round two for two weeks. So after getting my crap together and putting to rest again for another year the grieving of not having my daughter with me. I am ready to get er done :)I cant wait to use my bike. I wish it wasnt raining and snowing.

New Start Tomorrow

Well after a week of totally blowing it I will start back on the injections and the 500 calorie diet tomorrow. I think I can do it now that I am more emotionally stable again. I am afraid to get on the scale though. My bodily functions are so out of whack. I had to take ex lax two days in a row so ya what fun. Anywho I am ready. Wish me luck.
I had a great Christmas. I got a touring bike. 21 speed. Whoot. O and a fountain for my living room. Great day.

Totally Off Track

Well today has been my third day of being totally off track. I stopped taking the injections yesterday because I have totally blown it. Thinking maybe starting another round on the anniversarry of my daughters death was a very bad idea. I thought I would be fine. Its been over 10 years but no. Amazing how you think you can handle something but under the surface stuff just wants to explode. So I plaaned an interruption anyway for christmas eve and day. Maybe after the holiday I can focus and not be bogged down with grief. I hate that I was weak and I am very dissappointed in myself. I really wanted to drop another 20 pounds. I will start fresh again New Years or sooner. God I hope I dont pack on the pounds. Just feeling a little lost and dont really care at the moment. Praying for a break and to regain my composure.

Disappointed

Well down a whole whopping.4 UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So frustrating. I dont believe tommorow will be better cause yep I went off protocol of a sorts. Joined mu husband and a friend to pick up materials and also got a pedicure and manicure. So not only did I use products off protocol but also they went out for mexican. I ordered a small fajita lunch and ate the onions and the beef. I believe by the looks of it I probably ate more protein than I should have.

I guess there are worse things to cheat on. Didnt eat any tortillas but I am sure I will pay dearly for this.

And all that after I was told by someone that I look amazing!

Disappointed

1st Day of Week 3 Round 2

Well apple day was a success. Lost two pounds. Hope this starts things again. This day begins week 3 hope I can loose at least 7 pounds before my interruption on the holidays. Not fretting too much cause I am thankful for getting this far. Tommorow will be stressful as I will have to shop and not be in the protection of my own office and home ugh! Have to shop for the groceries for the xmas party for my employees. Then the fun will be of cooking all that yummy mexican food I cant eat. O well. Heres to a smaller butt lol.

Lessons Learned

Ok didnt cheat but saw a gain of .8. What did I do.
Maybe it was the fact that I tanned saturday. Yep sure did. Got tired of my pasty white skin and put my butt in my tanning bed. My reasoning was surely it couldnt be THAT bad. I read where it does make your body have a chemical reaction. OK so DR. S. does know what he was talking about. Sure I got a little color but I also saw a gain and nothing foreign entered these lips.
Like I said Lesson Learned. Wont do that again.
So to make up for my stupidity I am doing an apple day
See what that brings tommorow.
Four apples eaten Blah!
Last time I did this was during a stall and I lost 3 pounds and started losing again. Crossing fingers and going to bed early

Measurements 46.5 Inches Lost (Released lol)

Measured and I havent since I was in middle of p3. Happily I have lost an additional nine inches. Total since on HCG 46.5 inches. Not bad for 2.5 months. This totally makes it worth it. I got a wow from a girlfriend I only see every couple of weeks. I said "can you really notice" she said omg yes

I receieved my smart carb bread. Its in the freezer waiting for p3 and p4. Cant wait.

Needed that pick me up.

Emotional Eating

This time of year is very difficult as I know it is for alot of people. 11 years ago this time of year I was expecting to deliver a healthy baby girl. I developed toximina and was put into the hospital repeatedly. In the end I delivered a full term stillborn little girl. Her birth day is December 19th. Sounds like a good reason to emotionally eat. I can feel the pangs of wanting to every now and then along with the wanting to just crawl into bed and not come out.
But just like 11 years ago I go about the daily duties of preparing for the holidays all the while grieving silently.
I dont sorrow like most people who have no hope because I do believe she is alive with my Lord. But it doesnt change the fact that she is not with me.

On a lighter note:
The things I would like to eat emotionally are a big fat bacon cheeseburger and fries. Maybe some butter pecan ice cream and lets see some chinese food would really hit the spot.

Did go shopping for christmas but decided to try and some clothes. Ya I went and bought a skinnier pair of jeans that I cant get into yet but will after this round. Good reason not to cheat. And a pretty silver shiny sweater for the christmas party

Party TIme

Down 32 pounds this morning. Actually 32.8 pounds. Very very happy. Its so hard to do Christmas shopping and all the temptation out there. Its a whole lot easier just staying in my office or home doing the usual. But out there in the hustle and bustle and all the yummy smells. OMG makes you just want to eat something yummy. Poor husband we cant go out and eat while Im on round 2. We went shopping yesterday and he said if I didn't mind he was going to get something to eat. Sure honey go feed your face while I cant feed mine. HMMMMM lol. Actually I just try and shrug it off. keep busy. Try and keep mind off food. Not looking forward to holiday. I do all the cooking. Christmas eve wil be Italian. Lasagne cheesecake etc. Christmas day turkey and everything else. I might do an interruption On that day. Not sure. I need to do some investigating. If it will harm me I wont if I can get by with just a little stall I will. Decisions decisions.

Party TIme

2 More Pounds Yippie

Down 2 pounds since yesterday. Day before was only .4 cause TOM showed up. Im a happy camper. ONly a half pound shy of losing 30 pounds and Im really excited. I need to do my measurements :) Yesterday was depressing I felt very hugry emotionally I think. So I went to bed at 6:30. I will keep you posted :P

Happy Camper

Happy camper. 2.4 pounds lost since yesterday. Husband came home since being gone for a week. So I got some needed excercise lol

Just love getting up and getting on
that scale especially when it is nice to me.

I dont know if anyone else on this group has tried it but I ordered some more Julian Bread. It has only 1 net carb and is protocol safe. It didnt affect my weight on p3 but I only had it like 2 times a week. It is great toasted.



Its not cheap but worth it.

Down 4.8 Pounds Load Weight Almost Gone

Woke up to a 2.8 pound loss whoot! Happy camper my load day weight is almost gone. Well went shopping today and spent a good part of the day pulling my pants up. Resorted to folding the top part over so I wouldnt have to keep hiking them up. I guess there could be worse things. I refuse to have a muffin top so I will wait to buy some new jeans when they are totally unwearable. Went shopping trying to find an outfit for our company christmas party. When I lost the 25 pounds I decided to give away my fat girls clothes. I could still fit into some but I refuse to wear them again. They reminded me of my fat frumpy OLD self. So not going there. Nope nada not happening. So now I need something nice so I look hott infront of all the employees wives.

I crack myself up seriously. I wouldnt do that.

I went christmas shopping in the big town and couldnt bring any food, well cause I forgot my apple but bought some water.

Very tempted. McDonalds was beckoning me bit I resisted. Instead at 4 pm I stopped at walmart to get groceries and found some precooked fajita meat and bought some apples and my favorite water Dasani!. Ate that chicken in the car along with my apple. I was hungry

Looking forward to seeing what the scale does since I only had the equivelant of one meal on the protocol. Seeing if that does anything different on the scale.

Wonder if anyone has fasted on the HCG?

Day 2 of VLCD

Yes yesterday was hard. I am so stinking fickle. First I dont want it then I do. Kinda sounds like my sex life.

Thankfully I found a site that has a accepted salad dressing for p2 of the protocol. Very yummy. Its a god send for sure. Here is link: Pounds and Inches Away
It will make plain spinach and greens awesome and tolerable.

So I had a great loss of 2.2 pounds. ...........



Breakfast: apple

Lunch: chicken and onions stir fried with water lol

Dinner: chicken on a large bed of raw spinach with pounds and inches away dressing.


I did not get all my water in so that is something I have to work on today.

Im taking care of a recovering puppy and trying to catch up on paperwork. Husbands out of town and running two companies. So no stress there

Have a great day Losers ! I crack myself up. You too maintainers!

R2 P2 D1 of VLCD

Woke up with exactly a 5 pound gain for load days. Yikes hope thats normal. Actually looking forward to not eating. Back on the bottle again lol. Water bottle that is. Wish me lots of luck.

R2 D2 P1

Here piggy piggy. I swear that how I feel. Like a big fat pig. Load days arent all they are cracked up to be.
So here is the list of foods consumed:
Snickers bar
8 Crab Rangoon
Hot Wings
Baked Potato
Starbucks Mocha Frapuccino
Deesnt seem like much on paper but I feel like poop. Someone run the totals for me lol. Well forgot to weigh this morning so a little scared to see how much of a gain I will have after load says. Wondering what the average gain is on round 2?

Goodnight :P

R2 P1 D1

So this loading(aka gorging days) are difficult. Why in the world when you can eat you dont want too. Crazy. So gorge day is here. Well Ive had two cheeseburgers some Mexican food a few pieces of candy and I guess I should eat something really yummy and full of fat before I go to bed. Go figure lol.

My Puppy Tiffin

The doctor believes we caught the parvo very early. They put her on iv's and admitted her Saturday. We haven't been able to see her but they or we have called everyday. She hasn't been vomiting and no blood in her stool. Shes weak still but alert. They say we can probably pick her up Wednesday. She will have to be on a strict diet and in quarantine for a month. I will be getting alot of exercising as i cant just let her run loose like we usually do on our 10 acres. I will have to walk her a few times a day so she gets her exercise and goes potty in certain areas. So just like any sick kid I'm going to have to baby her. She will be bumming cause she wont be able to have any treats o well. Ill be on p2 and i cant have any either lol.
Thank you for all the well wishes for her.

Only 1/2 Pound Over My LIW

Seems those 5 pounds are coming off by themselves without me having to do steak days. I just upped my protein to the max and cut down on the veggies. God I love those vegetables. Thats what I missed the most on p2. Well I have my appointment set for Monday the 30th @ 2pm to pick up my injections of HCG. She suggested I double up every other day since I am starting it sooner than 12 weeks. But we will see how that goes. Anyhow I am ready to start losing again. Never thought losing weight could be addictive :P

Down a Pound After Thanksgiving Day

Yep this bod is a fickle one, while I didnt indulge I didnt expect to be down a pound either. All I had different was a crustless piece of pumpkin pie made without sugar. It was yummy and some other stuff that was p3 friendly but I felt stuffed and I thought surely it would bite me in the big ole butt. But was nicely surprised that the scale went down. Whoot. So now I am just 2 pounds over my LIW. Maybe my body is finding its correct weight. Who knows anymore. Im just really happy to start another round this week. Our puppy Tiffin who is an Alaskan husky and only 7 months old is sick today. I am praying its not Parvo which can be fatal in puppies. She doesnt want to get up and move. We have a 2 pm appointment for test. So if you read this and you believe in prayer please say one for her.

Not to Bad

But the scale be the judge. Well ate a piece of sugar free crustless pumpkin pie and some cream echeese stuffed celery along with some stuffed jalepenos. Upside is I didnt touch the mashed potatoes or the dressing and rolls. Strictly ate turkey and veggies.Im going to start another round next week. So the cheesecake will be frozen until my load day. Ha so there!

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving.

I was going to be super witty but I am way too tired. In my family the big family get together are at my place. We have the biggest house probably amongst all of us and well I just like doing it. I get cranky sometimes cause I bust my butt trying to make it nice the day before lol. I decorated the tables and so far have made 3 pies and one cheesecake(which I will be freezing me a piece for my next load day lol). Made the dressing, the appetizers and some country style noodles. So far the whole house is cleaned except for the master bedroom. My husband cleaned the family room downstairs. He might get lucky just for doing that :P

Wishing everyone a blessed holiday.

I Guess Ill Be on P3 for Another Week

Seems my Homepath is on a Thanksgiving vacation. What gives? Doesnt she know I want my HCG lol. O well. The scale went down a little. Who knows what my fickle little(big) body is up too. Still getting on the treadmill. Thank goodness for Deperate Housewives as it is so freaking boring. Bought the holiday groceries. Changing up a few things so I can enjoy it also. Stuffed celery and stuffed jalepenos and deviled eggs for snacking will replace the potatoes, the noodles, stuffing and rolls. I am looking forward to going back on another round and start loosing again. I would rather loose weight than eat on the holdiays. Priorities. Actually looking and considering holiday vacations that require wearing a bathing suit. Even that I am far from that point. Just something to look forward too.

Happily Thinner After

New website for hcgers
Happily Thinner After

Not Looking Back

Well even though I am having difficulties stabilizing. I have tasted what it is like to lose weight and I enjoy a thinner me. I desire to be thinner even more than I desire food. I am making plans for the thinner me. I am also joining a swimming excercise program in addition to me working out on the treadmill. So no matter what my doctor says I will continue on a healthier lifestyle. Im hoping to go back on the HCG on thanksgiving and start losing again. But I will take her advice and follow through.
Such hard work metally. Wonder what the scale will bring me tommorow.

Confusion

I am very confused about this p3 thing. I have done everything I know to do. Upped my protein lowered my carbs and I am finding myself after a little over two weeks 5 pounds above my LIW. Calling my doctor and after three weeks of being off the hcg and shots I want to go back on. I would rather loose weight than eat. That is where I am at right now. Just pissy and confused.

Did Somebody Say Protein

Well I took some advice and loaded up on protein today. By my weight I was told I should have 200 g of protein. OMG so much freaking food. Scares me. Curious what the scale will do tommorow. So a little nervous is an understatement.
After living on 500 calories a month this is like crazy eating this much food. Who knew 2000 calories was so much.
Upside peeps is I lost 8.5 inches since my last meaurements which were on the 30th of October. I quit measuring beacuse that week I showed no loss cause my weight was redistributing. So thank God for a little good news. I have been getting up and using my treadmill. Working up to using it for an hour so far only 20 minutes. But it gives me a chance to watch Desperate Housewives. My husband didnt like the idea of me watching it, Probably cause of the title. Ha! Its a hoot and Im only on first season. Well thats one way get my ass a moving lol.

Some things you just should tape yourself doing.

Thanksgiving Day on P3

So as usual the big feast will be held at my house. So I am trying a few p3 friendly recipes along with the usual's only problem is I haven't taste tested some of these.

1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds(optional)
1/2 tsp parsley flakes

Pour 1 inch of water into a pan with lid and add cauliflower. Cook it covered over medium heat until done about 5-8 minutes. It should be slightly firm when done. Immediately run cold water over to stop it from cooking any more. Make sure it is completely cool and drain.
Place the drained cauliflower and remaining (except parsley) ingredients into a serving bowl.Stir well to combine. Garnish with parsley serve chilled

OOOOOPS I Did it Again

Seems the old girl needs to do another steak day. I was hoping I would wake up and magically those pounds would be gone. Ummm nope didnt happen. So plan for the day is to load up on freaking water YUK! And eat a big steak.
Suggestions from others suggests I am being too careful and eating too much veggies and under cutting my protein. So after steak day today I will be eating much more protein. All I have to do is survive the fasting all day. I hope I can drop the 3 pounds by morning. Anyone saying this isnt hard is a butt head. i never thought that 2000 calories was alot of food but when you factor in not eating grains, potatoes and rice thats alot of calories in fruits, veggies and protein. What a quandry I am in. Almost panic moments when I see the scale go up. Havent put anything in my mouth Im not allowed to I just think Im being conservative where I shouldnt be.
I discovered also I am missing the high of waking up every morning and loosing pounds. Imagine that.
