I AM NOT DEAD- but ready to gear up again

I really think there is something about routine and being back at school that allows for better eating habits. I failed tha last attempt and gave up miserably- so I am trying agin- this time a 23 day round and the stress is under control and things are in full swing being back at school. We were in the middle of changing jobs, being offered jobs, and major life changes. Mr. Fleur resigned and left coaching after 17 years of it and 32 years of being around Baseball. My sister and I started out really strong and then she found out her husband was being transferred to another state and she wnt into full re- location mode with her and the kids and hubby- so her stress level and mine where crazy unsettling. We stood as strong as possible and then crumbled. I might add being in New Orleans and Louisiana did not help the protocal. It is like a cruise- diet BEFORE you go and after- just not during. So I am back to try a 23 day round- class reunion is coming and her I go. I start loading today.
I am glad I am loading on a Monday!
Missed ya'll and it has been a whirlwind but I'm back!

First time for everything

Well I had to break protocol I did not cheat my first round but this round is another story- I was at my in- laws (without my husband) and they did not cook much that was on protocol so I ate as clean as possible ( which I thought was horrible) Also I did not have my scale and missed a day of injections because we had to stay a day extra for the boys golf tournament( they did well!)
I was so afraid to even get on the scale- and low and behold the weight was exactly the same as when I left on Sunday- wow!
so I was back on track yesterday and this a.m. I weighed myself and I am down big 4 this morning!
Wooo- Hooooooooooo!
Since it is hot outside the water is really easy to drink this time- I am missing margaritas though!
oh well- I can drink them when I am skinny- that class reunion is fast approaching!

R2 P2 VLCD #1

Well I am up way too much from loading so I am freaked out from the scale!
210.4 - yuk , yuk and yuk!
I was stabilized at 203 for the last few weeks so to gain that much in 3 days is annoying!
I mixed up my own round this time and I have to say I am proud I did- I have several new friends locally and my siser doing this round with me so it is exciting to see others feeling better.
My sister- Ashley is having a hard time though- she is doing sublingual and has celiac disease- so I am curious to see how she does since this is new territoy for me to see first hand.
She started on Monday and has been suer hungry since thursday so we went over what she is taking and doing- it seems her b12 had sorbitol and we think it is giving her the stall she had today and yesterday. She is remixing a new vial to take without the B12. The only thing is she says her knee joints are killing her. I was wondering if this is because her celiac or the sorbitol is canceling out her HCG so she is just chemically dealing with side effects?
Any help with knowledge of celiacs taking HCG would be great. I want her to be successful really bad= so help us out- please!
We are also wondering if some glucosimine would help her knees?
Excited to feel empty soon- I feel gross after loading and after weighing in- so I will keep ya'll posted! The stress level in the house has decreased so we will see!
Happy father's day to your significant others and fathers out there- and remember they can't be daddy's without fabulous women like all of ya'll!

Round 2 Start day today

Round 2 Start day : today- going to a wedding tonight so I figured it was a good start to be ready ato go after tonight!
Kids are taken care of and Mr. Fleur and I will have a fun night!
so excited to start I am ready for the empty feeling- so I will mix up and inject today-
Wish me luck - If you do not have a reunion or something to strive for- thean just join me and we can use my deadline and work together ya'll! By September- fit as a fiddle and another big drop hopefully!
I have got to figure out how to mix this round so I am off to surf the net!
Have a great one!
Love ya'll!

On the road again

Not the road but on track for round 2
Iam sorry I ahve not written in forever! We have been filled with travel, stress, redefining our lives and celebrating summer!
I hope all is well in HCG blogger land. I have received my next shipment and I am depressed that they sent 2000 i. u. instead of the 5000 I ordered but I cannot wait- so I will see if I can combine the two vials to make 4000 i.u. who knows? Any ideas out there?
I will start thursday- since I need to mix and see what I can do with this shipment!
I have stabilized well from round 1
I will want to go 40 injections this round- it will be hard since I am heading to :Louisiana to see my family this summer- so I will eat the boiled seafood and not the fried- but I need to lose another big number by september since I have my 20 year high school reunion!
YIKES- I cannot look to fat so I am hoping for a good go of it this round!
I am looking forward to feeling empty again!
let me know how all of ya'll are doing!

stress at all time high

Hey gals- the stress level in our house is tremendous- last night I did turn to some chocolate cake- not too much I had the mini version of those microwaves cakes- it was 160 calories- so it was a moment of weakness but I did restrain some!
I cannot give details but I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix things- all the stress is beyond my control and has to go through a certain process - I will keep ya'll posted. I am excited to start in June on round 2- It is friday and pay day so - wooo hooo!
TGIF gals!

Hump day

I am stabilizing well so I am really wanting the next round-! June 1st is when it will be!
Going to do some testing of students and finish packing up 2nd classroom I need to move- the first one is done and trying to unpack, teach, and test students it is crazy but interesting!
I had a hot dog last night- what was I thinking- I should have just had the glass of water I drank and moved on!
oh well- I will have to flush that sodium out with soem more water and fresh vegetables today!
Have a good wednesday!

Monday already

Seriously the weekend had one good day and that was it!
we had a packed weekend full of acticitie and end of the year retirment parties! I ate way to much cabbage salad yesterday- my stomach is really upset but it was smart because I am not up- I am still at 202.3 which is great because the cake with fresh strawberries in the middle was delightful yesterday!
I am doing an apple day just to get my gut reset with fiber and calm it down! I am glad that I navigated around that yummy food but did well!
It is the last full week of school! I am so thrilled summer will be here soon!
I am also excited about round 2 in June, so alot to look forward to and I am excited I am starting it with others- so it will be fun to blog and do it with others!
Have a great week andI am praying for all those teachers out there! BE STRONG FOLKS!

Are you serious?

okay- this time of year is so hectic, but I really beleive being a teacher this time of year means you should get served free margaritas- just present your school ID and boom- first round is free!
I am staying at 204 it has been that way since last week- I have been eating with control- which is a plus and I am gearing up for the next round!
I want to start in June as soon as we get back from the Air Force graduation. I am excited to see family and friends and I am thrilled Corbin will see the academy- this is his goal to see all of this will just reinforce it all!
Lis found an old photo of me and wow- I hav ebeen fat and puffy for a long time! So glad I started this journey- can't wait to get to the skinny phase and not just in the im- between phase- shopping is fun but I am im- between sizes in pants so I am working on figuring that out- whank goodness shorts are coming into season!
Take care out here!
Today- after school is the only day we do not have an activity so- yipppeee!

got a ticket today

okay- I didn't stop at a stop sign and got a ticket- that started my day!
I am glad it is friday but what a crazy week and today as well!
1/2 day of school- crazy schedule and I found out my husband will not be around on mother's day- oh well- you cant have it all!
Forgot to take my B12 this morning and the new chromium supplement - so I have had no sugar today and forgot breakfast- obviously I was in a hurry since I ran a stop sign! so no breakfast- I am eating some noodles and a plate of fruit right now so I will not be starving by lunchtime. Lots going on- so I will let you go!
have a great friday adn remember to come to a complete STOP at all stop signs!

sugar

Sugar is like a narcotic isn't it.
I threw the remaining cookie cake out. I will never have that in my house again!
I found out from my friend Heather to try a time released chromium to help with the sugar thing. I am trying it today with a multi vitamin and b12- so far I feel better than before. I had a weak moment last night and at 9:30 enjoyed Lay's potato chips ( no they were not baked) three pices of cookie cake and a diet coke! Hah- what a bunch of crap!
well I was around 205 this morning- so I will eat clean the next few days and see what is going on!
Time to menu plan and grill some. No more of this just grabbing and going type eating- it is so not healthy!
Corbin's braces hurt today! so I made him soup for lunch and am trying to get back on track. Still tired- the junk food hasn't helped! It wasn't even good! What a waste!
Have a good one!

brace yourself

My oldest had his upper braces put on today- poor guy- it should be interesting. We are paying for braces instead of new flooring in the kitchen- so OH WELL- such is life with kids!
I am down 1.6 today so I am around my LDW weight today- the cookie cake and extras from the weekend did me in!
I am going to trya steak day today- I think that might work! we will see!
I updated the blog last night- had some time to play around- it is almost too cutesy- I will play more soon!
Have a great hump day!

Stop the world I want to get off.

it is an apple day today- I enjoyed the cookie cake way too much!
So I am going to feast on some apples and water and see what happens!
I am working in an industry right now that is so off their rocker it makes me sick to my stomach!
I relly hate the leadership style of our current district administration- it is not positive or mentally good in any way shape or form!
It is depressing to come to work everyday and favce their management style. the only thing keeping me together is my health and that my immediate boss has leadership skills and has vision. I seriously wonder why our district thinks that 3 unqualified people can sit in"cabinet" all day making shit up and implementing it when it is not sound for kids and education.
I hate who I work for!
Grumpy about that today.
Please stop the world--- I wnat to get off for a little bit- this ride makes me dizzy!

I survived

It went so well- I think!
Austin was thrilled and loved his day- i was a nervous wreck and couldn't believe it was here! His big day!
I did get to emotional at our reception when we had a toast and thanked our family and friends. I am a wreck because I miss my parents so much and when I see them I am happy and now that they are gone- I am sad and emotionally exhausted. I went to have cake and eat on Saturday and was so overwhelmed I couldn't eat nor- did i want the cake- wow- My friend Heather was right- you get real choosy with what you eat and what tastes good.
I loved what I wore though and it was very comfortable. Some people who had not see ME in awhile were blown away at how I looked! That was a joy and I really enjoyed standing up and taking pictures as a family- for the first time since my wedding - I think! 16 years later- wow!Didn't mind a picture or two.
So my son's are well on their way to having a strong foundation in the church!i am thrilled it went as planned but I am so exhausted I want to be in pajamas and have a movie- a thon day- rent a bunch of chick flicks and do nothing!
No rest for the wicked! no rest for a mother!
Parents flew out today-I pray for a safe arrival and I will not see them until July 1st. Hopefully by then I will be down another 30 pounds and definitely a few spray tans later! LOVE the VERSA SPA
I am really glad I treated myself to this spray tan thing- I felt great- it looked real and so much safer than laying out!
the price is great also! so i will keep up the spray tan thing! New addiction! watch out!
I want to thank all you gals for the awesome messages you left last week- I was so busy couldn't blog this weekend- but it went well and my mom kept calling me skinny- how about that! skinny- well I know my Dad was impressed and when I explained how I had done it- he wanted more info so he could maybe do it!
It is so flattering when people copy or do what you are doing! Gotta love it- 38 and making my parents proud still!
Well I better get back on track!
Thanks to all my gal pals and I will post pictures soon!
Love ya'll and tahnks again!

Parents arrive today-

I am so excited and exhausted trying toget everything just perfect for my parents and their arrival. It is exciting and nerveracking at the same time.
I was up late thte last few nights trying to get it all done. The house, the party plans for Austin, my new haircolor, and new haircut.
I weighed this am at 200.2 so I have sustained the best weight I have seen this round- Today is my last day of R1 P3.
I went early this morning and even got a spray tan- yes- I know very vein and fake but it does make me glow- and there is less to glow. The pasty white on my legs is gone and it helps cover some of the bruises I have on my legs from my B12 shots.
I tried this Versa Spa spray tan system here in town- so it was amazing- $20.00 and 5 minutes later- I look thinner, tanner and definately happier.
I don't know why I am so nervous- but I am.
I am anxious for their response- I hope it is good. I have invested way too much hype in this day- I am afraid I set myself up to be hurt- we will see!
No work tomorrow - Ssaturday is Austin's big day- I will try to post pics this weekend- the big reveal!

Stabilized

I am pleased to think I have stabilized this P3. Ihave been slowing introducing amounts of sugars, carbs ands starches this week. sunday corn chips- and alcohol- then Monday night- TOM :( and Tuesday night- two pieces of pizza. I was down two punds today after lots of water, a workout and two pieces of pizza.
I will be able to enjoy my sons first communion cake and not worry about it!
My parents fly in tomorrow- I am thrilled but not completely ready- I love to have everything ready but I not stressing- I can't freak out- it takes energy I need!
I will get it done and it will be good!
Austin is getting excited for his big day. Unfortunately I have alot of people bailing on him and who aren't coming- I am upset sinc eI have planned so much- but I have to refocus- this is for Austin and what he wants. I have had to scramble- I have had the caterer back out on me and then my back up plan back out on me so now I am cooking for the reception- yikes- did not plan on it- but sometimes it is easier if you do it yourself instead of relying on some people. Customer service around these parts has a huge price tag- so my price tag is time.
It will cost me time but I will sleep when i am dead- right!
See you tomorrow folks- I am debating about what to wear to the airport- the weather is changing and so I will see what is in the closet and looks good!

Fun weekend

I had a fun weekend, the weight stabilized really well considering the 2 tequila shots on Saturday mixed with the yummy margarita and then Sunday the mojto and glass of wine!
202.2 is what the scale said today- so that is well!
I will eat clean today for the sake of feeling better and getting more energy!
Busy week- Parents fly in Thursday and atons to do for the weekend. My caterer backed out on me saturday for this saturday - so we will see what I come up - needless to say B12 and getting to bed on time will be my plan!
Hovering over that 200 mark - so introducing those 13 blue corn chips yesterday ( a little earlier than I should) we will see I was pleased that it wasn't that bad on the scale - chips were good though! First chips since 2 months- atleast the guacomole attached to them was even better!
2 poached eggs fro breakfast and off we go to the final 4 days of P3. Really excited about this weekend!

Snow in April in AZ

Okay - Hell has frozen over, pigs are flying and thank GOD it is friday!
I work at a middle school so I really have seen pigs fly! Ha HA
weighed in today and was at 202.5 so maintaining is going well. I stayed up late last night cleaning out my closet- I had to get rid of the bigger clothes and things so I was fed up with trying on two to three items and discarding because they don't fit- so I decided to just get rid of them- starting at 9:00 - laundry and cleaning a closet not a good idea- but it is done and boy is it awesome!
Organized the shoes and I don't have room for anymore- so I willhave to make room - I LOVE shoes!
The weather has cancelled and postponed baseball games which has given this Little League Mom a break! A well needed break!
I took a B12 injection yesterday and I seriously wonder why I did not take this sooner- I guess the older you get the wiser you really are- wise to the fact you don't know a damned thing!
Well- I plan to get laundry ( ugh) caught up this weekend and hopefully will paint my bedroom so I can put out my new duvet cover and new curtains- WE will see!
Next week my parents fly in for AUstin's first communion so I am thrilled about that and the reveal- they still have NO idea- so I will report on the reactions- and I will have pictures to post by this weekend of the new ( skinnier) me - no more double chins!
Love, Laughs and Life
Enjoy!

No Birthday blues here

What a fabulous day yesterday!
Thanks for all the awesome birthday wishes- I loved it!
We fired up the Jack LaLane juicer last night and celebrated my birthday present with yummy fresh juice!
To some it may sound cheesy but I wanted the juicer and I am really glad, I had fresh squeezed orange and mango juice this morning!
Well we had the little league game cancelled due to heavy winds, YEAH, and so we out to dinner, I ate my beef fajitas and loved teh gaucomole- yummmy! Didn't eat the rice on teh platter or the tortillas but I loved the Margarita that came with my dinner special- that was my splurge!
So worth it!
I was up 1.5 pounds so I am stabilizing at 203 and my last LDW was 203 so I was pleased about that! I plan to eat clean today and push the water- I don't feel like I have kept that up!
The best part was- I was able to push the plate away last night and not eat after I felt full. The boys did not mind having my free ice cream dessert either! I feel as I have mentally conquered the overeating ordeal and the need to constantly put food in my mouth. Really gently eating and enjoying the bites you are able to eat makes sense in my mind. After going through complusive eating 12 step program the gentle eating has really helped! I look back at my birthday and know that I indulged but it was a special occasion and it was under control!
It also helps when the food is worth the bites and intake!
Before I was eating to subdue- now I ate and celebrated without the junk! YEAH so another year older and wiser is true!
I am also excied about my new followers- hello to my new blogging buddies!
One more thing of note- Please say a little hoorah for HEATHER- my friend who told me about HCG and she saved my life! The reason you need to say a Hoorah for her over the weekend she is doing a triathlon- so wish her well and hope she improves her times and conquers it as well!
GO HEATHER!!!!

A year older and wiser

Thanks to my fellow gals out there blogging away!
have not weighed since yeterday- got on this a.m. without doing it yet!
Looking forward to hearing from my parents today every time I thank my ffather for having me or raising me he says, Ha Ha Ha (that was amanly chuckle) it was my pleasure! ( Ha Ha Ha) then my Mom syas, "JOe" don't say that!! they crack me up - but I am serious- great parents,great childhood and I love my husband as much as my mom and dad love each other! I think that is important- that support system. speaking of support, my husband got me a Jack LaLane juicer for my birthday- we will test it out after little league gmae tonight! How cute is that I said I wanted a juicer instead of my blender and that is what he bought! I really would have loved diamonds but hey- a juicer is the next best thing! Huh gals!
Gonna go weigh in and shower! Have a lovely day ladies and thanks for all the kudos yeserday!

time to settle in

I have ost a total of 35 pounds which was my goal- I have a irthdya tomorrow but i was reminded to stay around my LDW - which I had forgotten so for good freinds I am thankful- I am sad I have to hold off on breaking that 200 mark till next round- maintaining is really a four letter word to me right now- Maintaining is hard- it is consistency and I am not good at that in the past! I will have to prevail!

My work sucks right now- we seem to be getting more things to do and less pay and less respect. I am thankful I have a job but how much disrespect can people take. I also recieved a text because of little league and to volunteer for children is kinda my lie's work- so it is second nature to volunteer for kids or a kids organization- we get no respect though- these parents are so mad and hateful and ungrateful and filled with entitlement- it turns my stomach!
I am so feeling battered by the public and yet they expect others to raise or entertain or organize for them and their children wihtout being the least bit reflective.
I think our nation is so worried about being politically correct that we are removed from the hard truth of the truth!
I know I am ranting and raving but I have reached my breaking point- or maybe it is almost that TOM- who knows- either way it is disgust!
okay- I am not helping anybody - sorry! peace out!

LIFE IS GOOD- DOWN A POUND TODAY

ok, I really love my scale - it read 201.2 down another pound since yesterday! whhewww hooooo! I guess screaming in the bathroom first thing in the morning is not good for Mr. Fleur's heart!
okay- so 1.2 pounds to go to reach my goal of being down under 200- Wednesday is my birthday so I am really determined. I figure I could give myself the best birthday present of all- losing this weight!
So clean eating and some exercise!
Back to work today but it pales in comparison to my excitement to being so close to the goal!
Okay bloggers- have a great start to your week and thank goodness for HCG!
Last night looked at calendar and already planning next round- think I am shooting for June- we will see!

I love wings

I ate chicken wings last night- My brother and sister in law were in town and after a fun filled busy day we went and had wings and pizza. I was so well behaved and only had the wings- ha ha- behaving and having wings, that is an oxt moron.
Down .6 ounces today! I think my body is being close to the resetting point. the celery was good and I even had some cheese off the top of the pizza- so all in all I was so happy to see the loss thos a.m. We grilled out yesterday im between the two ballgames, I had grilled onions on top of a blue cheese burger- yum ! It filled me up and was tasty. Didn't need the bun!
Yesterday's weight was at 202.8 so today was 202.2 - okay still hovering around the 200 mark - I have 2 weeks till those parents step off the plane- I rely hope I can be down under 200 by then! I will keep plugging away!
Yesterday was Mr. Fleur's b- day I stayed away from homemade chocolate cookies and brownies- so I think I have the addiction in it's place. I have found some yummy tea I drink at night- really helps!
We swam after the games so the fun exercise was worth it!
Have a good monday ( another oxymoron) Ha Ha!

TGIF

I am so thankful it is friday!
I weighed in at 203.4 this morning- not bad, I had a big lunch yesterday and ate light last night= so all is well- Still hovering above 200 though! Bummer!
Baseball has made it crazy- I am so glad work is done with testing- so sick of the whole process by now!
Having family come up for weekend- so gearing up for that- I planted the front flowerbed this a.m. before work! It looks great and will be in great shape for the first communion round of guests as well in two weeks. Two weeks to lose 10 pounds- please I miss my HCG! I miss it!
Gotta go enjoy and start the weekend!

Down 2 pounds

Thank goodness I am back down to 203.0 I want to shed those 3 pounds more than anything! I really had a big lunch than a small dinner so I think eating clean will help with it all!
Spent the night at the ball field at my son's minor's little league game. That keeps your mind off of food. Things are so crazy right now I am thrilled I am not turning to food. I am gonna try a B12 injection today so I can have a little more energy! I still haven't exercised before work so that is a new goal!
Lots of baseball left and pounds too!

great dinner

great chicken fajita dinner salad last night
I was up 1.2 pounds today but that homemade guacomole was delicious with the homemade green salsa. I have missed my taco salads. didn't really miss the chips gladly- good without it!
Anybody who is near Kansas City there is a great spice called "Spanish Gardens" it has great flavor without extra salt and no sugar! they have taco sauce that my kids love- but my sister only ships me the seasonings. Love it- try it!
Kids still testing at school and my 7th graders are fabulous- very good group!
Work is still stressful and the leadership and district is not making things easier.
Mr. Fleur is overstressed and workign too hard- yesterday he came home and hugged the skinnier me and said, " I am numb from the stress but you make everything better" after 16 years of marriage- that was sooo sweet! Love that guy!
Say prayers for his stress to decrease. My friend Lis is off to VEGAS- yeah for her- she is not taking her scale!!!! so we arethinking of ya Lis and Good luck!
Gonna try to squeeze in a workout in the am before school- hope this helps!

wowie- zowie

Okay- heading into P3 I was nervous and scared- boy- what was I afraid of- I really can do this!
I ate clean yesterday- despite a crazy day- I had a yummy skewer of grilled chicken, onion bell pepper and pneaplle my hubby grilled the night before! It is good even cold and the next day! I was hanging around 204.00 since my last big drop of 202 so I thought I should behappy with it- yesterday I saw 204.6 and tosay was 203.4 so yeah to a loss of 1.2 - I LOVE IT! I have got to get under that 200 mark!
another exciting piece of news!
I am planning this whole thing around being down 35- 40 pounds by May 1, that is why I started - I went shopping yesterday for this jacket I had in mind to buy- i had the tried on teh 18- yesterday it was way too big! YEAH! so then I tried the 16 W - I relly hate that W behind every number. Low and behold I tried it on and it fit!!! so I was browsing around the smaller sizes ( unknown terrirtory for this gal) and I found a 16 P ( that means petite- which I am not- but I am getting there.) I tried it on and it FIT 1 but also it looked better and more slimming than the 16W- i didn't need the W- OF COURSE I BOUGHT IT- it was on sale too- and it was $3.00 less than the W! I was thrilled and elated and couldn't wait to go home and show Mr. Fleur!
well- off to monitor testing- when the scale does not show the clothes will!
Have a great one!

So CLOSE

So close to the goal- I was on the road to San Jose to a funeral for 4 days- what a drive- I have to say I was thrilled at how well I did on the road and staying to the protocol. Taking my scale is a huge ordeal! GREAT idea I knew where I was every day!
I hit 202.4 yesterday morning- I am 2 pounds from my goal!
This morning- I was back up to 204.1 today! what the heck! I was so close-and now I feel like ughh! I had hoped that I would have hit 35 lbs- oh well! I will get there- just not now! I will focus on P3 now- trying to get into a groove and adjust!
I have missed my blogging though while on the road-
Have a great friday!

It is EASTER BREAK!

I weighed in this morning at 206.0 Cannot beleive it is getting closer to being done with R1 P2 . I have fallen in love with my HCG. Really gonna miss it! I guess I transferred one addiction to another. 6 pounds away from breaking 200! I really want to lose the total of 35 for the first round here- that puts me half way to my total goal I want to reach in a year! So little steps at a time! It is EASTER weekend but I will have to dart off to a funeral for Monday night so we are going to church on Saturday. I am kinda excited to take this act on the road.
WE will see!
I have not told my mother and father or sister I am doing this. They all fly out for my son's first communion May 1st and I want to surprise them. I think they willbe surprised- I am gonna push through R1 P3 to lose another 5 pounds in the month so I can say I lost 40 by May 1st!
So thrilled about it- I will keep you posted!

208 lbs- What a relief!

I was afraid I would gain witht he stress of my mother not doing well post surgery and with the crazy week scheduled. i still loss today .4 ounces- not bad- atleast it is not a gain! I am closer to be under the 200 mark - that is all that matters. Forgot to eat last night- or just not even hungry- not good! Today I will force my vegetables and my protein! Found out this morning that Mom is not having stable enough oxygen intake to be released- so she is let down and sad not to be going home! I am sad for her. To hear your mother cry and you cannot hug her is not easy!
I hate her being in Lousiana and me being in AZ!
If I can survive this April- then I can breath again!

Excitement still

208.4 today ! Down another pound- I am really excited about hitting the 30 pound mark soon ! But scared about moving on to next phase. My mother is still in hospital- her recovery is slow and I am trying to stay busy ( not a problem) so I will not stress, since I cannot be there. I am also stressed about this upcoming funeral I have to attend, make sure you hug your loved ones today!
When I get down to 204 - I will hit the 30 pound mark, so I am excited for that and focusing on that , then the 4 pounds to hit under 200. I pray my easter gift is to lose the weight and be under 200 pounds! So thrilled. I will have to find time to research and read up for the next phase.

Thankful for the scale

I NEVER- NEVER - NEVER thought I would like my scale. I love my scale especially when it shows a loss. Down to 209.4 today!
So happy- So happy especially sinceTOM came to visit. I have 10 days left of injections. I hope this keeps up- my goal is to beunder that dreaded 200 by the time I am done!
Starting to fear the next phase- I wish Dr. Simeons would have written a sequel to this protocol- a day to day for the 2nd part- I think it is the fear of the unkown that is haunting me. Any great bloggers give me a good idea of a daily menu that I can relate to: Desperatley need some guidance.
Stressful week even though it is the best week for the church! Rejoice !

New post New weight

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am down a total of 25 pounds this morning and i even had TOM start last night! I am so thrilled. I can't believe that scale said 210.2- I am 10 pounds away from breaking the dreaded 200 mark ( haven't been under that for years. Even went out last night and enjoyed a date with Mr. Fleur! so 10 days of injections- and 10 pounds to lose for my goal! Time to set a new goal!

On the other hand- I am so overstressed today, having to pack for a funeral and my mother's surgery did not go well, busy week and overload of housework is adding to the mountain! I am sitting here thinking about " the climb" from Miley Cyrus (cheesy - huh?) but that weight drop is the only thing keeping me going!

Congrats to LIS for her 5K run today - I am sure she feels phenomenal- just like she looks!
Take care and I will report more later!

I Love Friday!

Since my last post I am down 2.4 pounds! I have lost a total of 24 pounds in the 27 days since I started my R1 P1. Today I took my first dose of B12 so I am thrilled to have some more energy! The most exciting thing is that today .....after 2 years 9roughly) I was able to take off my two wedding bands! This may not make sense to some of why I am happy. But for 2 years they have not been able to come off my hands since I had gained so much weight. My two bands are on both sides of my diamonds in my engagement ring. Everytime I tried I would feel like i had been buried alive, they would not move towards the knuckle. Today , with the help of some lotion they came off and I am jubilant. I used to make up things like" oh my diamonds catch on things so I don't wear them" LIE- or "it is an heirloom and I dont want to lose it" TRUE but really- I wore it for 14 years and didn't lose it!
The LIES are over and I am one happily married woman that doesn't have her wedding bads on today. Crazy- huh!
Thanks to my new followers I was starting to feel lonely in blog land- but welcome to my crazy journey to save myself!
Have a great day!

Brand New, successful and learning the way!

I have been on HCG - for the first time here for 25 days. I am at a 22 pound loss and cannot believe it. I totally understand people's passion. Work is extremely stressful and it is baseball season, which means my husband ( head coach) is MIA. He uses the washer, bed ,and bathroom. Lends support and grills my food, even late at night. It is hard and crazy especially being on the first round, first phase, still injecting. I have learned to plan better though. I am trying to get over the bruising on my legs- not showing them off- but they will go away with the pounds. I am curious about people's drops success- seems easier. huh- who knows-
Chat at ya'll later-
Down 22- so excited- I have stayed at the same weight for three days-- I think I am not drinking enough water. I will increase that and see what happens!
