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.

Pumpkin brownies
So with Fall upon us I am in the baking mood however not wanting to kill my diet i have been looking for yummy recipes i can modify to meet my calorie and sweet tooth. This recipe i got from realmomkitchen.com and I love it. I have only made a few changes but did include the nutritional information at the bottom
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature (I used salted)
1 cup Truvia or Splenda
1/4 cup suag
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips- I used 10 tbsp and that is what i calculated the recipe with
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.

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

Stuffed Green Pepper soup
I am the only person in my house who likes green peppers however I could eat them daily. therefore I do not make stuffed peppers rather I make it into a yummy soup. Now with HCG I am sure this could work with phase 2 but it would need to be modified. I love this recipe. I always make a double batch and eat it work weeks. Now with traditional green papers you would add rice however since the HCG is all about cutting out carbs I used miracle rice and it is perfect in this recipe. Again this is a double batch.
Stuffed pepper soup
1/2 pound ground beef
3 green pepper diced
2 cans mushrooms(I use the big cans)
1 can peitie diced tomatoes
1 bottle V8 juice
1. Brown the ground beef and drain all the fat off.
2. While that is cooking diced the peppers into sizes that you like. I used both small and big pieces
3. In the crockpot mix the tomatoes, mushrooms and v8 juice together and add any seasonings you like. Add the peppers and ground beef. Stir Well.
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours
Calories- 108 for 1 cup

Almost there
So the last few days have been relativity easy regarding my diet. On Monday and Tuesday my husband bought me breakfast and since I was so full from the food i did not have lunch. For dinner I have been eating a lot of miracle rice. I have had stuffed pepper soup and spaghetti. I love the miracle noodles since it does keep me full longer. I also have been adding more Fiber to my system which is so helping keep me fuller
This morning I weighed in at 200 pounds. I am so ready to be under 200 pound again. I am hoping before my next round I am at least 5 pounds under 200 pounds.
Bring on HCG round 2.
