Hcg Update

I've been taking the hcg drops for 7 days...the first two days are supposed to be used to "load" by eating lots of high fat/high calorie foods. Yeah, i didn't do that very well because Joe left and I had a cold and my appetite was nil. At any rate I've only been on the 500 calorie diet for five days and I've lost....drumroll please....

8 pounds exactly.

Not too shabby...I'm just doing the short course which means that I'll be on the drops for 23 days...and off by the time Joe comes home. So wish me luck!

127 this morning!! We are eating so well. I am exercising at least 4 times a week. It's a lifestyle change and I can't believe we haven't done it sooner. We are loving it! Let's hope it stays this way!
Happy Easter weekend...don't overdo it :)

hcg again

Hello everybody...

Joe is leaving today and I am going back on the hcg drops again. I'm waiting until he wakes up to weigh myself but the other day I was at 152.4 so I'm hoping I'm not too far off that mark to start. I will try to keep you all updated as to my progress, since I'm sure you're dying to know how it goes. I haven't slept all night, which sucks but is pretty normal with Joe's impending departure...Anyhoo, have a great day :)

One hundred twenty nine.

YES. I finally broke the barrier of 130! I could not be happier!! :):):):):):)

Still closing in....

So this week has not been good so far (we are all pretty sick) but let me report on the past few weeks.

5-6 days of exercise....moderate eating....good results.

I actually saw 151 on the scale the other day.  SUCH GOOD NEWS!  It IS possible.  It did disappear, however, as I am now bloating and filling up for my monthly splurge known as "Aunt Flo". 

I'll wait out her visit and get back to the scale. 

I feel really good though.  I'm down to just one feeding a day with the baby and the boobs are almost obsolete.  But...there really are worse things in life. 

I have a healthy strong body and I'm thankful for it.

I HATE plataeus.

I didn't drop of the earth

I just don't have much to say on here lately. Mostly because I am not losing weight. I'm working out at least 3 times a week. This week I went to step class twice and did my own thing twice. Starting this week, I'm not eating sugar/treats with a couple of friends. We are trying to cleanse/purge/rehabilitate ourselves. So far so good. Although I did dream of cookies and Cadbury Mini-eggs. How could I start a sugar fast right before the ONLY time of year when they sell my FAVORITE candy?!
Also, I still owe Chari $10. I never remember to send it when I have $10. I only remember after I've paid my bills and feel like AAAHHHHH WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF MONTH!!!! I hate student loans btw. Sorry Chari. Someday you will receive a mysterious $10 and wonder "WTH? Oh well, 10 bucks is 10 bucks." Maybe. Or maybe you will die loathing my lack of follow through on social committments.
So, that's where I've been. I tried to weigh myself today but the only scale at the gym I was out is by the trainer's desk. Uh, no thank you! I'll do it next week when I'm at my regular gym. That scale is in the locker room.

In conclusion I leave you with a blog post I came across a couple of days ago that spoke to me -- particularly the last big paragraph. Happy reading!

.....

I suck at this!

Currently blogging and weight loss :(

Time to check in...

153.....STILL! (I mean up and down but that's the consistent #).

Really...I should be grateful (and I am).

I have been baking A LOT lately. Never been into it before. Probably why I have never had such a hard time loosing weight before. Hmmmmm!

Oh well...at least I'm consistent.

And...I have at least another two years to maintain. I've got time, right? As long as the #'s are not higher I have nothing to complain about. (except my chubby thighs, and dimply butt and sad stretched out tummy...oh, and I will be weening Kian soon so I will be saying goodbye to my beautiful B cup boobs and hello to my less than A cup flaps of skin. Sad day!)

Weigh In

I weighed myself the other day...151.8. Not having an appetite can really work for you ;)

Joe comes home in a week, so I fully anticipate a little weight gain on the horizon, but in the meantime I'm feeling pretty good, kinda sexy, can't wait to see my husband :)
