6 days left

As mentioned in th least post this past week was extremely hard on me. I am sure a lot of it is that I have a lot on my plate with school, work and family life. All last week I was in tho funk that I could not get out of. Finally by Saturday I felt like my old self again. However when I was having those rough days my diet got out of hand. Lots of fast food and junk food. However on Saurday I resolved to get the weight back down to where I was after round 1. I managed to go from 203.8 back down to 200.2 as of today. This week will hopefully be a lot better and I will be able to stay on track

One thing I realized when I was having my off days was that the amount of water i take in oes effect my weight lost. If I don't get at least 12 glasses on water my weight will spike. For example yesterday I had about 1200 calories however I had 22 glasses of water. This morning I saw a .4 oz lost however on monday I had 2 glasses of water and gained 2 pounds. Ouch. Must drink water. Lol

I am so ready to be back on HCG. On Saturday after work, I am going to get a dozen crispy creme donuts for me to eat on Sunday and Monday. I am also planning on making brisket with potato cups with lots of cheese and creme. Then on Monday I am going to grab something on the way to school. I am so ready for this. I hate this weight. Sunday I will also be loading up on my foods for the next 26 days. I have found that there are about 3 meals that I can do no problem. They include chicken with romaine lettuce with salsa, chili and taco salad. I am thinking that the chicken wraps will be lunch and dinner will be either chili or taco salad. My fruits will be apples, oranges and strawberries. I may try the grapefruit. As for veggies I will do cucumber with salt and pepper, tomato soup and lettuce. I love asparagus and spinach but I can't do them on this diet.

As you can tell I am ready for this wonderful diet that is coming.

Prayers Needed

Right now i am dealing with a lot emotionally and physically because of stress, because of this I have let my eating get out of hand(long silvers and papa johns today). I am still holding on but I am at the end of my rope. If any of my blogging buddies read this please just send a prayer up to the big man because I am so stressed and overwhelmed.

Going to take a small break from blogging but I will be back soon and will still be reading.

listening to my body

So as i mentioned the other day I have been having a really rough time. I am not sure if it is from stress or just because I know that in a few short weeks I will be back on round 2 however I have been pigging out. However even with all my bad choices and there have been some awful ones I am only back up to 200.8. I was hoping to stay in onderland however it has been rough.

Between sunday and today I have eaten several of those pumpkin brownies, had mashed potatoes and then last night after class I had a craving for a cinnabon roll so I had that and a bag of chips. However I have been averaging about 12 glasses of water a day and I think that may be helping me a lot. Today has been better I had cottage cheese for breakfast and then had a veggie sub with yogurt for lunch and I have had 5 glasses of water. Dinner tonight will be spaghetti and meatballs however I will be using my yummy miracle noodles and more water.

Hoping to see a loss tomorrow but if not I am happy where I am right now. Only 2 weeks until I am back on HCG. Praise the lord.

up and down

so yesterday morning I was up to 200.6 and today I am back down to 200. I am sure that I was up because I did not eat too much on thursday and yesterday we went to Don Pablos. I do have to say the Don Pablos was so yummy. Today is a day of cleaning and i am going to get some stuff ready to bake which includes some muffins for the up coming week and some pumpkin cheese cake bread for my co workers. Hoping to get back down into the 199 range tomorrow.

Onederland

I finally did it I made it out of the 200's. Yesterday was a very good day for me. I did work however I was not as busy so I was able to get a few things for school done.

I have found that eating the miracle noodles for one meal a day definitely is a must. Yesterday for lunch I had a bowl of soup with miracle noodles I was only able to eat about half of the second bowl. Then for dinner we had chick fil a which I love however i did really well, I had a side salad with some of my own dressing and a grilled chicken sandwich. I am not going to lie iI was so worried that the bread would kick my butt however it did not. I think occasionally my body needs the carbs. However I am still going to be careful how I eat.

I am so ready fro another round of HCG, I definitely missing it however I am happy to see that I can maintain and even lose some more weight.

16 more days until round 2

weight-199.5

Up 2 pounds

So as my title mentions I am up 2 pounds and I am not too sure why. I did have a rough time at the theater but after that I was good, plus I had all my water and i worked out for 30 minutes. My husband stated that my body is trying to get use to all the changes however I was so upset when I saw the 2 pounds. Yet today is a new day so I picked myself up and I am moving on. I am hoping to get rid of these 2 pounds plus a lift more.

I did end up going to buy a new scale because the one I have keeps bouncing and am happy to report the old scale was adding a good pound to my actual weight. I use to a have plastic scale but read that the glass kind are better due to less issues with breakage which can throw the scale weight off. I ended up getting a Weight Watchers one from Target and I love it. My weight never bounces.

Well I have several papers to work on plus laundry and cleaning the house so today and tomorrow will be busy.

I was hoping fro more however who can say they lost 16 pounds in such a short period of time. I am going to be working on getting to 185 in the next few weeks before I start my next round. I am so worried that I will go out of control however some foods do turn me off so I am sure I will do ok.

New meal plan

So on friday i will be entering the maintenance phase of my diet and while i am excited that I am entering the next step I am very worried that I will go out of control however today I went to the grocery store and brought several items that I know will keep me on track.
It included-
Fiber one bars- love them, mostly likely a likely a lunch item
kellogs strawberry cereal with soy milk- a cup soy milk has 60 calories no way I will use that much
weight watchers meals- I have done WW before and lost about 100 pounds- I will add some of the miracle noodles to help keep me full
salmon- dinner item with broccoli
chicken and more tilpia- even though I am sick of the chicken i will still only eat about 3.50z
hamburger meat- still will be 3.5 ozzs of taco salad
mushroom and peppers for salad and my unstuffed pepper soup with miracle rice.

I have already made a small meal plan for Friday, and sunday. Saturdays will be my cheat day however I will probably stick with a salad. I am hoping for at least 15 more pounds before i start round 2 which will be October 9th. I am already looking forward to my loading days, krispy creme donuts, cheesecake, pizza, ice cream and lots of pumpkin spiced lattes. LOL
