HCG attempt #2

Phase 1:
Day 1 load day Weight 240
Day 2 load day Weight 240- I am so tired of loading... and looking at the 240's. I cantbelieve I am there again. Bump's in the road will happen.  I am picking myself up, dusting myself off and going back at it full force.  Tomorrow is a new day...  Thank you Jesus!
Day 3: starting weight 240. Here goes!!!

duh!

Wanna know what just hit me? I started at 272 and my goal weight was 150. That was 122lbs to lose. I DON'T HAVE MORE THAN 100 POUNDS TO LOSE ANYMORE! Ok, that may sound stupid... but it hit me like a ton of bricks! What?! I only have 83 more pounds to go! 83 doesnt seem as scary as 122! HA!
Found this quote today and I really like it: "Things change for the better when we take responsibility for our own thoughts, decisions and actions."

HCG

I started HCG phase 1 on Saturday April 2nd, 2011. 
Phase 1: The first 2 days are loading days and you are supposed to eat as much high fat foods as you can for 2 days.
Day 1: 242 Started the drops and high fat foods
Day 2: 243 Again, drops and high fat foods
I started HCG phase 2 on Monday April 4th, 2011.
Phase 2: very low calorie diet (500cal), about a gallon of water a day and the drops for 40 days.
Day 1: 243- This is the day that I started the very low calorie diet along with the drops
Day 2: 240- down 3lbs! My first goal is to be out of the 240's because I've been there for a month!
Day 3: 237- Down 3 more! Total of 6. AND GOAL HIT!!! Goodbye 240's!
Day 4: 234  Down 3 more! Total of 9. 2 more lbs and I'll be at a total of 40lbs lost since January 1!
Day 5: 233- Down 1 more! Total of 10 pounds in 5 days :-) 1lb away rom 40lb mark!

I cheated Friday night on the diet, which led into me cheating saturday and sunday. Sunday and Monday I was ill, Tuesday and Wednesday (today) are load days. I will restart the 500 calorie diet tomorrow.  As of right this  minute I am 240 again.


Notes on day 3: I was a little bit hungry in the evening today.  I've been taking my hCG at about 4pm and then eating about 530. I think tonight Im gonna try to take it a little closer to dinner and see if it helps.  Also, I bought miracle noodles. They are pretty good. The texture tastes a little slimier than regular spaghetti noodles but I ate them in "hCG chili" and it tasted good! I love spaghetti and thats kinda what it tasted like.

Notes on day 4: Its hard to believe that I've lost 9lbs in 3 days! One more pound and I'll be at the ten pound mark with hcg and 2 more pounds and I'll have hit a total of 40lbs lost. It's crazy! - I over indulged today and had 2 packages of miracle noodles and while they are a free food, I do think you can have too much free.  I will try to keep it down to a package a day and i cooked them in Amino whichis like sodium free soy sauce and made this yummy teriaki noodle type dish.. it was delish! Im sure I ate too much and it will show on the scale tomorrow....

Notes on day 5: Only a pound down.. verses 3... Im sure eating too many miracle noodles had something to do with it.  But, its still a pound, so Im happy :-) 10lbs gone in 5 days is nothing to turn up my nose at! I've been losing 10 a month!

I will come back and edit this particular post daily or as close to daily as I possibly can. :-)

Baseball season

OK... so, I've decided to make a change.  (Again) I am going to start hCG drops on Sunday April 2nd.  I know I said  wasnt going to use any form of diet help on this journey, but I changed my mind.  Baseball season starts today and lasts thru April and May. Because my boys are going to be on two different teams I cannot go to the gym Monday thru Friday because I have to get home in time to take one to practice while Dustan takes the other.  My weight mysteriously crept up 2lbs so now I am at 242.  I am going to work dilligently at losing those two pounds and start my HCG diet at 240 (Even less then that would be awesome.)
Chow. :-)

update

So, I love the body bugg.  It reports sleep efficiency among all the other cool things it does.  I have been sick for the last few days and it makes total sene that for the week before that I had no energy to get to the gym.  I would pass out the minute my head hit the pillow and wonder why I was so tired.  While I am officially not 100% yet I am attempting to go to work today.  I've missed the last two days. 
And update on my weight loss... I am -1 more pound for a total of 31lbs.  Im sure next week when I am feeling better and I get to the gym the weight will start falling off again. :-) Have a good day everyone.

The addition of... THE BODY BUGG!

That's right! I am the proud new owner of a Body Bugg.. well its not the body bugg brand but it works the exact same.  Its from body media.  It is a small device that straps to the back of your upper left arm and it calculates the calories that you've bearned throughout the day.  You go online at the end of your day and type your food consumed during the day and it tells you what your calorie deficit is.  I am very excited about this.  It is plugged in to the computer right now, charging.. and I cant wait to put it on and do some stuff to watch the calories burn on the webpage! I'll let ya all know how it works out! Chow!
