Day of RELAXATION.......

Yesterday was a great day of relaxation, spent reading great books on my tablet by the pool on the deck. Yes, I did this with family and friends that ate and drank what they wanted, while I had my healthy snacks, protocol food...when we grilled yes I had my london broil and grilled onion and guzzled lots of water!!! You can make the right choices and stay with it!!!! Today I got up to a .8 loss which is fine with me because I usually never have a good lose after eating beef!! I know this and that is why I really limit it to special occasions! I am getting ready for a busy challenging day...I get to go spend 12 hours in the office today. Lots of temptations but they all admire and support my determination. I must go get my food for the day packed, but I wanted to post that I have a great day yesterday and you can stay true to protocol even with grilling and pool days!!! I had to share these pictures for now... This is me in my swimsuit for the day as well as me in my new NEW OUTFIT IN NEW SIZES... WOO HOO..... As the journey continues.

Well back on my Journey........

Well I can't even begin to catch up on the last part of my Journey, a lot in my life has changed...I have been pondering for many weeks how to get posting in my blog and documenting again. All I do is get farther behind; therefore, I am just going to start and hope I can get every thing updated and proceed forward. In the over 1 1/2 years that I was off HCG and major turmoil in my life, I am sad to say I did regain some of my weight. I do know why.... I was back to old habits of eating emotionally, drinking and not caring about me!! More changes have happened over the last six months. I am now focused back on ME. Staying TRUE 2 ME!! I started my HCG journey again with loading on April 4th I chose to do 3 days of loading and my first day of VLCD was on April 7th as of today I am down -22.1 lbs, I had had a 3 day stall earlier this week, then a big lose yesterday of 2.9 to go back up 2lbs this am. I am pretty sure this is a water weight issue, yesterday I nursed a headache most the day and took medication for this then took sleeping medication last night. I will remain on my journey and I will be right on track. I hope to get new pictures taken as well as measurements. I am having a few issues getting everything updated, so much time away have forgotten some of my passwords to change graphs....Work in progress....as we are STAYING TRUE @ ME and enjoying my journey. I have new recipes I would like to get published as well..... Follow the journey!

Too Long!!!! But here I am!!

I would like to say I am truely sorry for not updating and keeping my blog posted. With my new job and school I have been really bad with posting. I really want to get this caught up so I am going to start by posting a picture that shows my journey from Oct 2009 to June 2010. I have just started round 4 so I will take a picture to get posted.  This week back on VLCD I have made some new recipes as well so I need to get them up here as well, I believe on VLCD if you have something new and creative very important to share!!! I am .9 above my LIW from Round 3. I had never been above my LIW always below; however, maintenance in Round 3 I had to do steak days and was above about 4 lbs by the end. It is okay they are gone and I am ready for new territory. I am over all -76.7lbs as my journey continues.........

Well I had two days this week that I lost a BIG ZERO!!!But I made it this am to the Big day of MINUS 50!!! Yes I have completed a large milestone in my journey losing one pound and one inch at a time. I have recieved a promotion at my NEW JOB as well and overall just feeling FANTASTIC!!! I love how the HCG is not only changed my weight and appearance, but the changes it has brought me to mentally/emotionally! And yes I am on the path to retire from being a professional dieter!! I was able to buy some pants for work in a size I would say I have not worn in 7 to 8 years!! I will be so glad to make it out of PLUS sizes!! Somewhere I have not been in many years!!

I have looked at my charts and I was hoping to truly break the 200's this round but have determined it will be out of reach most likely!! But thta is ok because I know I will surpass in Round 3!! I still have not locked in to how many injections I will do this round I have the supplies for 40 injections but going to see how my body is doing and if I decide I need a break or more choices!! I have been really pleased with my results for Round 2 so far they have been greater than the beginning of Round 1 for me! I did change my Health and Beauty products this round, but that is really the only difference!

As my journey continues. can't wait to post the second MINUS FIFTY.....I hope this blog is helping others with support and encouragement!

Well after a very stressful week of trying to juggle my work and school schedule I survived MID-TERMS!!! With very little sleep the last 4 days I was so tired this am! I even thought I turned the snooze on the alarm but apparently I turned it OFF!! Overslept but the Scales said "GOOD MORNING" Down 1.3 this am plus this means new digits!! I am so close to hitting the mark of MINUS 50 as well!!!

I have been so careful this round and trying to make sure everything is just right!! I want the most from this round!! I have averaged higher loses this round than I did the first round! I just knew in week 2 I would have hit that normal stall and I have not in Day 3 of Third Week!! I am feeling really good!! Clothes are so loose! Guess in a few more weeks I will have to buy another pair or two of pants!!
