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!
