Back for Another Round

Started another round yesterday. We took two weeks and went on vacation. Had 10 wonderful days in Italy. I weighed myself to see if I would gain. I decided since I was in my home country there was no way I was going to be on p3. I totally intended to eat anything I wanted. And I did. I discovered that my Italian food tasted better lol. Though I enjoyed it immensely. We walked at least 5 miles everyday. We toured Rome, Florence and Venice. I ate Gelato about 4 times. It was awesome. The best ice cream I have ever ate. I was worried I gained weight while gone. But thankfully with all the walking I lost 4 pounds. It was a wonderful time with my husband and son and his girlfriend. My husband and I have plans to go back without the kids. Maybe some romance then :P I will have to post pictures later as blogger is being squirrely right now and wont let me.

Summer is Here

Bought for the first time in years two summer dresses. Halter type. Well Im not skinny enough for me to wear out in public but I did plan on wearing it around the house. My son saw it on and is not used to seeing cleavage and bare shoulders on his mom. He didnt like. He was like "you have got to be kidding" lol O well teenage son didnt like but my husband did. I did wear a skirt along with muck boots to till my veggie garden. My employees got a kick out of that. Girly kinda lol.

Half Way There

last night went to my son's ballgame. I thought I had totally blown it cause it was 40 degrees out and windy and I was so cold. So what I do I had me a cup of hot cocoa. I thought surely I had blown it. But I didnt eat dinner that night so I woke up to a 1.8 loss and reached my 50 pound loss mark! So now Im at 50.8 pounds gone forever.Im very very happy. Started Monday with injections and its friday now. And I have lost t he 5 pounds of loading weight and an additional 6 new pounds lost. Not too bad considering that stupid TOM showed his face. I hope this continues but if not my goal is 25 this round. That wont bring me under 200 but very close. Then after our vacation in June I can do another. Im very excited to think that by the time summer is over I could be another 45 pounds lighter if not more. I so want to be a healthy weight. Along with the health the cuter clothes and cheaper lol.
Good luck all my fellow losers.

R3 D4 :)

Woke up with another 1.8 pounds lost. Whoot! 49 pounds to date gone forever :) Looks like I will reach my 50 pound mark tommorow. Im hungry and feeling tired like I want to sleep an additional 4 hours. I guess I will drink some water or hot tea until lunch. Like expected TOM showed up. Seems I always get it the first week on HCG Oh well. Im at that age I cant really say when I get it cause Im not regular. TMI lol
This too shall pass.

O Happy Day

Happy Day. Day 3 of VLCD. Load weight all gone and lost an additional 2.2 new pounds.
Having trouble consuming all necessary water. Yuk. Miss my Crystal Light Lemonade.
Not hungry just trying to stay away from food.
Had to cook later for my family cause of baseball. So they were eating breakfast type meal @ 7 pm consisting of Eggs, Bacon and Pancakes. It smelled realy good. O well I had my chicken earlier in the day with an apple and a cucumber.

The best way for me to be successful is for me to keep busy busy busy!

Here We Go Again

Tomorrow is first day of R3 VLCD. Biting NAILS. Planned on doing load days this weekend as we were going away for the weekend to celebrate our 20th anniversary as well as his 50th birthday. But went and forgot to pack the shots. O well I thoroughly plumped up the fat cells anyway. So far and the day isn't over and I gained 3.5 pounds. Ouch. Had to be the potatoes and ice cream and chocolate covered cherries mmmmmmmmmm I will pay for it this week. Not worried though. Did the measurements and it seems a few things have shifted once again. Not to mention almost 3 inches gained. It will be gone by the end of the week. Only problem is TOM should show up any day but Im not going to let that get in the way. Im ready to lose another twenty. I have hardly any clothes to wear but happy to report I can wear an 18. Thats a biggy for me. Haven't seen that for over 10 years. The weather is getting warmer and it isnt bothering me. Another blessing about losing weight. trying not to spend any money on clothes right now. I will shop before our vacation in June. By then I should be in a 16 and my daughter said she has some crops and stuff for me that she cant wear anymore. But what a bummer I will have to buy a few nice things :) Wish me luck on losing. I have been absent but doing well on maintenance. Actually was down a half a pound of my LIW before the binge.

Here goes everything. :P

Things I Learned While Riding my Bike

1. I am not very coordinated. I can trip over my own feet and fall out of a boat into the lake lol

2. I am out of shape way more than I thought.

Yesterday was just down right beautiful. Finally got up to 60 degrees. So earlier in the day we went to the big town to get the kids passport pictures. And I bought my helmet for the bike. My son said if I tried it on in the store he was leaving Ha I tried it on.

So after returning home. I cleaned out the flower beds, tilled the vegetable garden and raked out the clumps of debris and then decided to ride the bike. Well needless to say I wont be ready for the road for awhile. I will just ride it up and down my driveway which around my property is a half a mile. So 2 rounds on that and I was wiped out. But the upside is I am more active than usual.

Unhealthiest Salad's Darn Mine is on the List

Bummer Applebees is on the stinking list . But its so yummy but 1500 calories. Yikes.

Hevnt Seen You in a Long Time

Love getting a "you look really good".
Husband came home from Haiti Thursday. Had to make an appointment with the doctor for him. Poor baby came home sick. So found out it was an inner ear infection along with sinus infection. But he felt well enough to go to favorite Mexican restaurant. Haven't been there except for once since October and the owner wasn't there. So he saw me and did a double take. New hairdo and I'm not sure he knew it was me(giggles).
He kept staring at me. Saying its been a long time! So after our meal he came over and chit chatted it up for a few minutes. He then told me I was looking good and looked at Jim and smiled. So yeah that made my day.
Holding on to that 45.
And yes I ate some things I shouldn't have. A few chips and a a couple spoonfuls of rice. I found that a little here and there doesn't hurt me nor change the scale but a half a pound up and down and I can deal with that.
Anyway I had a great moral boost for today.

Before and After Pic
