Day 1 VLCD

Today is my first day of VLCD for R5. I am so ready to get the rest of this weight off. I am dropping down to 6 drops 3x a day. If I feel that I am getting too hungry, I will up my drops. I did 4 days of loading. Yesterday I was just unprepared to start VLCD. Today was much better. I started preparing my food for the next few days. I also bought some turkey burgers. I just cut them down to 3oz before I grilled them. Yum. Anyway, I will update tomorrow. Hopefully I will see a nice loss tomorrow. I always love the first few days of VLCD because the load weight just falls off. Wahoo!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

New Round w HHCG

I am trying HHcg this round. I have definitely been eating what I want. I am back up to 217.7 this morning. I just took my first dose of 10 drops. I figure this weekend will be the best time to start... BBQs, BBQs, BBQs. I am kind of on the fence in regards to homeopathic but hopefully I will be successful like many of you have been. I have given myself a goal. I turn 29 in November. I want to be at my goal weight of 160-165 by then. Also, I know with homeopathic I can go for longer rounds. I did order from ADC. I will use this bottle of homeopathic until my order arrives. Actually, I plan on finishing the bottle then switching. Hopefully I will be able to go for 80 days that way. I remember when I first started, I went for 60 days. We will see if I can do 80. I may get sick of it by then though. Lol If I can go that long then I should be able to get down to goal weight, if not extremely close, in one round. I'm ready to be skinny for my bday. =o) 

Mr S and I adopted a cat the other day. Well, actually a kitten. He is a tuxedo and super cute. We call him Apollo because Apollo was the Greek god of music. I love that. He has a personality and is all over the place. Lol of course, I am sure he will mellow out as he gets older. He is only 11 weeks. My roommate and her bf also got another dog so now we have 2 dogs and a cat at the house. I have yet to introduce Apollo to the dogs. It should be interesting. Ok, back to work. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and is doing well on their weight loss journey. Time for breakfast. Happy 4th of July!!!

Homeopathic...

Not sure when ADC switched to only accepting Visa cards but now IDK what I am going to do. I don't have a Visa card at all. Everything that I have is either MC or Amex. *sigh* So, I will be switching to homeopathic until I figure out where I can get the real stuff without paying an arm and a leg. They already get you with their shipping. Anyway, I had 2 successful days off. I have officially de-cluttered my living space. I went on a shredding party. Two hours of shredding. Then I reorganized my storage area in the basement as well as my room. I will be the first to say that I did my spring cleaning in the summer. I kept putting it off and putting it off but it is done now. Yipee!!! I still can not comment on anyone's blog and I have yet to figure out why. From what I am reading, everyone is doing well though. Stay on track and stay focused!!! Hopefully I see some posts from those of you that I have been following for the past year. It's been a while. Update us!!! Happy releasing.

Agh!

I can't comment! This is driving me nuts. I have tried everything. Hmmm.

Well, on another note. Down 4lbs. So excited. I have also decided that I want to do a 5k this year. There is one going on at the end of October. I am going to get the bf on the wagon as well. It will be fun and I think it is a great goal to work towards. Anyway, going to go read up on the updates that I have.

Sorry for the lack of comments! If anyone knows how to fix it. Let me know. =o)

What the?! Blogger...

Blogger is being weird. It doesn't show me as signed in when I try to leave comments for people. IDK. Anyway, day is going well. Made a few days worth of food yesterday. Broiled tilapia and steak plus stocked up on fruits and veggies. Definitely looking forward to the loses that I should experience this week. It feels good to be back in it. =o) Anyway, time to get back to checking up on everyone. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

NYC... Japan... No Onederland

I never thought life could get more crazy. OMG. I am constantly on the go, go, go. Let me give everyone a rundown of the last three weeks... Deep breath. LOL

Here I go... I was in NYC for a week. I flew up on a Tuesday, had class/training for three days then Mr S joined me for the weekend. We had a blast. We ate and drank and shopped... And shopped. I got some super awesome things for my godson at F.A.O Schwarz. I can't wait to give them to him. Yes, we saw the GIANT piano. Needless to say, protocol, including Onederland, went right out the window. I did try to eat in moderation but EVERYTHING is bigger in NYC. LOL. I am currently working at getting back on track. No matter how often I stumble, I REFUSE to give up. =o) We came back on from NYC on Sunday and that brings me into this current week...

Mr S was suppose to fly out to Japan tomorrow, Saturday. I was getting ready to head home yesterday and received an email letting me know that his flight had changed. Crunch time. I ended up staying at his place, getting all of his uniforms together and laundry done. It was a never ending task but I broke through. You all know how guys will wait until they have 50 loads of laundry to do or they run out of socks. LOL At least the apartment is clean when I decide to stay there and when he comes home. Oh, and packing would not have been such a huge task if he was not going to be gone for three weeks.

What else happened this week... Class registration opened up for the fall on Monday. I am down for 15 units. My German class will be the hardest, I think. Everything else should be pretty easy... Psych, Soc, Germ, and Intro to Travel. I am pretty sure that I will ace the travel class. I mean, I have worked in the travel industry for five years now. I am so thankful that I have enough financial aid to cover my entire year plus I will be able to get a new laptop for school. I like my netbook but I can not do school work on it; especially for four online classes; plus there is not cd drive. I just hope that I do not overload myself.

Oh... I almost forgot the most important part... My new goddaughter, Chloe arrived!!! She is so cute and small. I am excited to meet her and see how much like her mom she is. She is going to be a handful. Girls are definitely different from boys when it comes to growing up.

So I am sticking to my guns when it comes to protocol especially since Mr S is gone. He does not come back until July which gives me plenty of time to get back to Onederland and then some. He is also trying to lose a few pounds, so I told him that when he comes back we are going full force together. He will not be doing protocol though. He is doing his own thing. It will be nice to lose together. Well, time for me to head off to bed. I have to work early in the morning. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and that you all are maintaining/releasing or getting back to where you need to be, like me.

ONEDERLAND!!!!!!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! This has been a long time coming. Oh how happy I was to get on the scale this morning and finally be in Onederland!!! 199.3lbs It has been a hard battle but I made it!!! It can only go downhill from here. LOL Seriously though, I am sooo stoked. I am going to keep plugging along until I reach my goal. This was just one of the biggest ones. I will post some pictures soon. Probably next week actually. I have a lot of things to do on my days off. Need to keep busy while the bf is away. He comes home Saturday AM, so I am going to meet him at the airport. He says I should sleep but I'll work something out. A week is a long time. Hell, he has only been gone 2 days and I miss him like crazy, but it is work. He can't get out of it and I understand completely. Just bumming. Anyway, time to go check up on everyone. Happy releasing!!

Looong week ahead

Ok, in all honesty, I haven't been super strict this past weekend. Mr S left for San Diego today. He will be gone for the whole week. ::sigh:: Not looking forward to it but hopefully it will go by extremely fast. Needless to say, we were eating out and what not all weekend. We spent Saturday night, sweating our butts off at a concert; and Sunday, we spent a good portion of the day walking around the city. It has been raining and cloudy pretty much all week so as soon as the sun came out, we took advantage of it. I was watching what I ate, for the most part. I had cheese and some oil on a salad. It came pre-dressed. It's cool though. I will make it up this week while he is gone. Oh, I had a doctor's appointment today. I have been on anti-anxiety meds for the past month. My doctor said that he could tell a difference from the last time that I was there. He said he could tell, in my voice and my attitude, that I was happier and things seemed to be improving. I have to admit, I feel a lot better. Before, I was ALWAYS anxious. I am sure that it has come across in my past blogs. Well, I am going to get going. I need to get my lunch ready for tomorrow. Time to get back on the horse. Ahh, I need to place my next order. I keep forgetting!!! I will set an alarm notice so that I remember to do it tomorrow.

Yay for a new laptop!!!

It's about time too. My laptop crapped out on me about a week ago. I was so over posting from my phone. It's really tedious actually. So that is why I haven't posted lately. I have been pretty good about sticking to protocol. The boy is on a diet as well so that is awesome. He isn't doing protocol though. I haven't yet given him the details and that is okay. Anyway, I have been on TOM for the last few days so my weight is sticking to 200.2lbs. Today should be my last day so I am looking forward to FINALLY reaching Onederland. It is going to be awesome!!! Summer is coming up and I have the cutest bathing suit. It is a little bit too small but I know it will fit once I am at goal. Especially in the bust area. LOL Well, time to go check up on everyone and get my day started. I need to head off to the post office. Happy Releasing.

R5P2D7

Holy Weightless Batman!!! I was not expecting the scale to say 202.1 this morning!!! 2.3lb loss?! I'll take it but I am still shocked. I made sure I was very strict yesterday. I upped my water intake as well. I guess my batch is still good?! Hopefully. I will still be ordering some new stuff though. Other than that, things are good. I enjoyed doing absolutely nothing on my days off. Lol I did get my nails an eyebrows done today. I figure I deserve to pamper myself every once and a while. Plus it has been way too long. Well off to check in on everyone. Happy Releasing!!!

R5P2D6

This round is weird. I'll go up one day then down the next. I don't understand. I am down 2lbs in 6 days. I am seriously wondering if my batch is still good. I have been good with getting all of my food and water in. I really just don't get it. As soon as I can get my computer up and running, I will be placing a new order. I can't do a round like this. I also need to get some tests to find out if this batch is in fact still good or not. No point in wasting it if it is but I think it will be the latter. Anyway, back to fixing my laptop... Or trying to anyway. Happy releasing!!!

R5P2D2

Real quick... Down .4lbs. Weighing in at 0330 is not the most ideal but it will do. I didn't gain much during loading so I am not expecting to see huge losses. Made myself and the bf baked tilapia w tomatoes, potatoes (for him), onions, and a mustard vinaigrette for dinner. P2 friendly wo the potatoes. I'll post the recipe. I think I need to adjust the oven temp though. I need to get some sleep. Hope everyone is well.

R5P2

Today starts R5P2D1. I have decided not to cycle again. First, I have been off protocol for too long to jump back in and although I like the fact that I can do short rounds, I would prefer to just get these last 40lbs gone in one round. I am hoping to get things done in one round anyway. I have to be disciplined. I don't have anything going on at this point anyway. Just hitting sporting events, working, and hanging out in DC. I am up 5lbs from the end of last cycle, but it's no big deal. I am surprised that I have stayed within 5lbs since I ended back in February. I haven't really been paying attention to what I'm eating. I guess, subconsciously, I was making healthier choices. Hardly any bread, not too many sweets. I would allow myself a cheat day though. That was imperative. Anyway, I look forward to catching up with everyone. I know I have been gone for a while but now I am ready for this round and ready to get down to business!!! Happy Releasing/Maintaining!!!

Long overdue

Wow. I think it has been over a month since my last post. Life has really been up during the time I have been gone. Mr As father had a transplant so things were very touch and go. He is doing a lot better now which I am so thankful for. It put a major strain on our relationship but we are working through it. My biggest obstacle is to learn to be patient, not only w him but in general. It's a day to day thing but I can do it.

Needless to say, I have not been back on P2 since this has been going on. I have too much on my plate to worry about it. I have been staying within 5lbs of LIW though. That is good enough for me given the circumstances. I will start back up again in a few weeks. Passover is coming up on the 23rd and I have been invited to Seder. I have never experienced one before therefore I do not want to be rude because I am in the middle of P2. I will start once that is over. This will also give me time to get another order placed. I have roughly 21 days left right now and figure I have 35-40lbs to go so I will need some. Plus I'll have backup in case I need to go longer. Anyway, time to head home from work. I hope everyone is well and apologize for my absence. I am going to work on updating more since things are starting to settle down.

I'm ready! Are you? Happy St Patrick's Day!

Puerto Rico... 9 More days of C2

This cycle has not been good to me. I have wanted to throw in the towel many times but I have kept pressing on. Sometimes I feel like I am just wasting the stuff therefore I have made the decision that I will continue for 9 more days, with my last inj being on the 14th. Then I will start back up the end of March, around the 28th I think. That will give me 2 weeks off. I have a lot of things planned this month so ending at that time and restarting at the end of March will benefit me. We are having a huge St Patrick's Day Party on the 17th, then I have the babyshower that I am planning for a friend on the 25th. Oh PLUS Mr. S and I will be heading to Puerto Rico for a few days around the 20th. If we can't get into the hotel, which I was suppose to book 3 weeks out but just sent in this morning, then we will have to push it back to the following week. It's so funny because he is so excited for this trip. I can't wait either. They are supposedly having really nice weather down there so it will be nice to get away from the cold. We are going to explore, explore, explore. Maybe rent some scooters or jetskiis. Can't wait!!! Well, my day is getting ready to end. It has been nuts here for the past couple of days and I am looking forward to leaving on time today.

Really?!

My body does not want to drop down into Onederland and it is really irritating me right now. I have been hovering between 204.1 and 203 ALL week. Maybe it's the new BC that I am on. I can't win. Somethings gotta give. Serious. 

I fixed my comments. I didn't realize that they were blocked. Thanks HH for letting me know!!!

Onederland... Are you here yet?!

Where to begin? Well, my first week of work is water under the bridge. It went by a little too fast but that's ok. I really do appreciate my job more. I think that most people don't realize that once you get to the management/supervisor level, it's not all a cakewalk. Either way, I love what I'm doing now. I've had to go and buy a whole bunch of new clothes (tax write-off) and it's AWESOME. I love that I can shop at NY&Company or H&M now. It's so exciting. =o)

I have been doing pretty well with my eating. I get up super early so I am exhausted by the time I get home. My goal for each day is to get both fruits, both proteins, and at least 1 veggie in. By the time 6 rolls around I'm definitely not hungry.
I am currently 3lbs away from sweet Onederland. =o)

On another note, I had a date yesterday. This is the second guy I've gone out with since becoming single. Oh man it's hard. I don't go into detail about the protocol but I have to come up w super awesome excuses as to why I can't go out to eat. Lol. Anyway, first thing out of his mouth was... "You are absolutely gorgeous!" Ok... I know I know. Let's not get worked up but seriously, I can't tell you when the last time was that I heard those words. It's definitely been probably over a year. Anyway, the date went well and we had a lot of fun. Hoping for date number 2 but we will see. I do have to say this... Dating older guys is so different and I'm not saying like guys old enough to be my dad. I'm saying in their 30s. I'd have to say, so far, it's better. =o) Time to get the day started and catch up w everyone. See you all soon!!!

I'm exhausted...

I started my new schedule yesterday and let me tell you... My body does not like it at all. I don't know how accurate my weigh ins are going to be because I really am not getting much sleep. I have to readjust to getting up early and going to bed early. *sigh* Hopefully it won't take too long though. Anyway, down to 204.9lbs. Either way, I was excited to see that on the scale. =o) Just wanted to keep everyone updated. I haven't disappeared. I am just trying to get used to being up before the sun is even thinking about coming up. LOL Ok... Nap time because my body is screaming at me for only getting 4 hours of sleep last night. I'll check up on everyone when I wake up. =o)

Very nice loss. C2

Down 1.3lbs this morning. I guess my scale isn't remembering last weight. We will see what it says tomorrow. I start my new schedule tomorrow. 0400-1230. Shouldn't be bad, I just hate having to get up that early. Just mixed my last 40 days worth of injections. I am filling them now. I am debating on making another purchase, in case I need to do another round/cycle after these 40 days are done. I have only 41lbs to go but am thinking I may want to go down to 150lbs. We will see. One day at a time. One pound at a time. I am just excited that I will hit Onederland this week!!!! YAY Life is GOOD!

Back to P2 - Cycle 2

Hey everyone... Just wanted to update you all. I have started back on P2 today. No plans for tonight so might as well start the week off right!!! I started out slightly higher then my LIW (.8lbs) but I am not going to complain. I had recently bought a new scale but I don't think that I like it so I will most likely be taking it back and getting the same one that I had before. This one seems to remember the last weight but I am not positive. I will have to see during this phase. P3 isn't really a good time to see if your new scale is actually working or not since you are suppose to stabilize. =o) 

I start my new job on Wednesday. I have been feeling extremely anxious and somewhat depressed the last couple of days. I am not sure if it is because of the new job, the fact that my roommates are all gone and I am not necessarily used to being by myself, or for other reasons I will leave out of this post. I think it may be all of the above. I do have a history of anxiety and depression. Also not going to get into the history of that. These issues were not weight related but personal relationship related. So, I am starting to worry and thinking that I need to make an appointment to see someone. I really am a roller coaster when it comes to this. I will be fine for months and then not be fine. I have done well for the last year and a half. Only had a couple of episodes but in the past 4 months it has been hitting me hard and even harder the last week or so. UGH. Oh I have also decided that it is time for my new tattoo. It will be a memorial for my grandfather. I will wait until I am in P3 again since they will be using tons of Vaseline when they do it and I don't want to jeopardize my journey to Onederland!!! Only 7.8lbs to go!!! WAHOO!!! Well, I better go. Time to check up on everyone and see how you all are doing. Happy Releasing/Maintaining.

Soo... Good news!!! Actually AWESOME NEWS!!!

I got the job!!! I have known for a about a week now but thing have been so busy with the ex moving out and dealing with the storage unit, plus my roommates ex just passed. It has been nuts. So yeah... And there is other news but I will wait to post that because there are certain people that are trying to be sneaky and read my blog. IDK why I am worrying about anyone else's feelings but yeah. So my roommate introduced me to one of her coworkers. =o) I thought I would be totally against it because he just moved out but I guess I really did separate and get over it months ago. That's rather horrible of me. Anyway, me and B have just been hanging out and getting to know each other, which is nice. It's not often that, in this day and age, people just rush into relationships without first knowing the other person. Aside from that, he does have a child and that changes everything. Plus, although I have been over the relationship, T just left and I'd rather take the time to get to know B then just rush into something else. I have a lot to focus on with my new job, which I start next Wednesday, and looking for a new place, and I am not sure what else. LOL I just feel like there is a lot going on and there really isn't anything more then normal. =o) Either way, things seem crazy busy. I will be starting the next cycle on Monday. I have an appt with the gyno on Tuesday. I know some people say that it won't show up on a test, but I am worried it will so thinking maybe I should hold off until after my appt??? But I DON'T WANT TO!!! Lol I want to get this round started like 2 weeks ago!!! Hope everyone is well... Have to go get ready for work. Talk to you all soon!

Damn you TOM.

Up 1.8lbs today but that's because TOM decided to show up a week early. Now I have to reschedule my doctors appt on Tuesday. Damn you TOM! Anyway, working right now. I am planning a coworker/friends babyshower and can't wait to see the cake design. I spent an hour on the phone w the cake maker and will have the "blueprints" for the cake shortly. Can't wait to see what it looks like. Anyway, back to work. I'll check up on everyone later.

Steady as she goes

Sticking to 207.5 for the last week now. WAHOO!!! I have decided to go until Feb 15th with this P3 cycle. I want to be able to enjoy whatever Valentine's Day plans that I have. As of right now, things are still up in the air but it is a week away. I have news on two different subjects but I will announce when all is official. And trust me, they are both AWESOME! Anyway, heading off to bed. Have a busy Friday and Saturday. Back to the grind tomorrow. Hope everyone is well. Thank you for the continued support even though I am not updating as often right now. Life gets busy and I have to pull away from some things at times, BUT I am staying strong with this P3. Time to catch up real quick then sleep.

P3 Update

It's been about a week and I am sorry I haven't updated sooner. Things have been really good for me actually. I have stayed within the 2lb mark! I dropped down to 205.6 while I was in Cali, which was AWESOME by the way. Then up to 208.6. I have just been eating clean for the most part. We have had a couple of parties in the last few days, to celebrate Bdays and just because. Hehe. I have been good for the most part. Last night I did have a couple of cocktails but still not over the 2lbs. I will be doing clean P3 eating for the rest of the week and then start back on P2 for Monday. My sister and friends were so excited to see the smaller me. I can actually wear my sisters pants now and she can fit my shirts. It's so awesome bc she even said that she has never seen me this small before. Anyway, time to head out to the grocery store and run some errands. Oh btw, I am officially single. He moved out while I was gone. Kind of an easy way out for him, but it definitely saved me the trouble of ending things. It's nice to be single again. Not jumping back into the dating game yet but it will be happening soon enough. Happy releasing/maintaining. Hope everyone is well.

Pics with better light!!!

LIW End of Cycle 1 P2

I am actually glad that P2 is over, only 2 more days of VLCD. I am almost ready for my trip to California. I received my new clothes yesterday! I can't wait to show off the new me to my fam and friends out in So Cal. Wahoo!!! Anyway, going to enjoy P3 and my vacation. I will be back on P2 February 7th! Two weeks of P3 then back to P2. I think that this P2 has been extremely successful. I can't remember how many days I have done (14 or 15 w/ injections), but I think it averages out to a pound a day! P3 will prove to me whether this cycling matter is going to work or if I have to go back to the normal way of protocol. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!!!

Just Do It...

That's what I need to keep telling myself. I don't want to drag it out so I just need to tell him what's on my mind. It seriously is dragging me down big time. One more day of P2 then on to P3 and So Cal. Can't wait. Possibly going bowling tonight but not sure. Anyway, back to work...

Demise of a relationship...

Really nice loss this morning. I would have to say it is yesterday and today combined because yesterday only showed a .2lbs drop and I know that the night before I hardly got any sleep. I have 2 more days left of R3P2 Cycle 1. I have to say that I am pleased with the results so far. Sunday marks D1 of P3. Like I said, 2 weeks give or take of P3 then back to P2 for R4. I think that the short rounds will do me better. I do get bored easily with the food.


I have started getting together with old friends lately. I guess it was an unspoken New Years resolution. I haven't necessarily secluded myself since starting protocol, but relationships and protocol together make it hard to juggle social scenes. Since my relationship is nearing the end, I would actually say it is already there, and I am somewhat "seasoned" when it comes to protocol, I am going back to being a social butterfly. I went out with an ex last night. Yes, I know... Some of you are thinking not a good idea, however, we have known each other for 6 years and have a really great friendship. I do believe that some couples can be friends after a break up. It just depends on how the friendship was before hand. Still, it was really great to see him. Of course, he hasn't seen me in over a year due to schedules and other reasons. I really wish that I would have taken a picture when he saw me. It was the best reaction and really a great compliment. We went to a movie and pretty much caught up on what's been going on with us in the last year, year and a half. I have realized, in the past year, that until I have children and a husband, I am the most important person in my life. My relationship has been dwindleing for the last 4 months or so. I always hope for the best in people but sometimes you just have to reevaluate things and possibly walk away. Needless to say, I have not walked away yet. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but either way, my heart isn't in it anymore. I don't hate him or anything like that, I am just not in love with him anymore and feel like I have been taken advantage of since he got out of the military. I feel like I am being followed around constantly. I have also learned that, at this point in my life, cohabitation is not the right path for me. I always said that I would wait until I was engaged but I have made 2 exceptions to this rule. Well, no more. I miss having my own space and being able to come and go as I please. I miss coming home to an empty house and just curling up in front of the tv in my pjs. I know, I know, I can do that now but it's not the same. So I have made the decision that unfortunately, things need to end. I do need to do it soon. I just feel bad because I know that it is going to hurt him more then me and he has been interviewing a lot lately. I just worry as to how it will affect his mindset. Either way, he still needs to find a job. There have been things that have been said... One of them being that he will not resent me for staying in VA as long as we are together. Trust me, I flipped. I am an independent, extroverted woman. No one is going to try to corner me into a relationship... As my roommate says... I do what I want. Ü But no really, I just need my space! So that's what has been happening with me. Normally the stress gets the best of me but this has helped me focus more on my weightloss journey because it is what I can control. Everything else will just fall in to place.

New Pics! Size 14 & Large!!!

Quickie

Down .9 this morning. Working in the AM again tomorrow so if I get enough sleep I will weigh before work and have an update. Since I am heading out on vacation, I will spend that on P3 as well as the following week then head back into P2. Obviously this is not set in stone. Just going to take it day by day. I am glad that I will be in Cali for part of P3. There are more options for fresh food there. Definitely going to hit In-N-Out burger for a fresh made protein burger. What can I say?! It's my weakness. No bun and no secret sauce so I should be good.

Everything is set for my mini vacation. Car is reserved. Flight is book. Schedule is made, well for the most part. Just trying to get to see certain people in the short time that I am there. Definitely going to see family and a girlfriend that I haven't seen since I was 15-16 years old. So so excited. Have a lot to do in a little amount of time. Anyway, off to get things ready for tomorrow and get some shut eye. Hope everyone is well. Will try to catch up with everyone and update tomorrow afternoon.

Double Trouble

Working a double today and only got 3 hours of sleep so no weigh in this morning. I know that with no sleep and the scale I will only be disappointed because 99% of the time it shows a gain when in fact that is not true. Anyway, just wanted to quickly update. Down .9lbs yesterday. Looking forward to tomorrows weigh in after a good nights sleep. In a way, I kind of prefer skipping a day because then my loss seems that much bigger. I know, it's silly. I have planned my trip back home. Jan 24-27 I will be in SoCal. I will be revealing my new and improved, but still improving, self to my older sister and friends. Oh, and an ex. Hehe. Can't wait to see the look on their faces. AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MINI VACATION! I seriously need to get away from here with just me, myself, and I. That being said, I will end P2 on the AM of the 21st so that I can enjoy Cali and be in P3 by the time that I get there. Let's see what kind of losses I can pull from the hat until then. Anyway, hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. I'll check in on everyone in a bit.

Woohoo!!!

TOM is here, as I mentioned in the previous post and WOW! I hopped on the scale expecting a tiny loss... 1.4lbs!!! DANG!!! Yes, I was definitely stoked. I am hoping it is not a glitch in the scale but either way... Still losing. Other then that, not much going on. I don't know if the L-Glutamine is actually working because TOM is here and I am usually more hungry during it. Plus, I haven't been taking it on a regular basis, only when I get the hunger pains. Anyway, I am only going to do 10 or so more injections. I skipped the last 2 days and will start back up tomorrow. I will see where I am at once day 17 hits and go from there. Short P3 round of about 20 days then back on P2 for round 4. Definitely excited to see what the results will be. Time to hit the sack. Long, busy day. Happy Releasing/Maintaining!

Less then 50 to go

It's so awesome to be able to say that I have less then 50lbs to go until I reach goal weight!!! Soo excited. Anyway, real quick. Down 0.8lbs this morning. TOM decided to come a week early. Not happy about that but it is what it is. Got my L-Glutamine all taken care of. MSM will start next week. I am surprised that I haven't felt fatigued this round as I did my first 2 rounds. I will skip my injection today and tomorrow for TOM. I have 18 days left until P3. I will be excited to reach Onederland before the end of this round. 14.3lbs to go!!! I can do it. I am completely focused and motivated. Now it's time to clear the snow out of the driveway and off my car so I can head to work. Happy Releasing/Maintaining/Cycling!!!

How I spent my day off...

Lol so I had my interview this morning. OMG I was so incredibly nervous. On top of that, our printer took a crap shoot so I had to print out my resume there. Anyway, after the first question my nerves calmed down. I think the interview went well.
The rest of the day was spent grocery shopping, playing Just Dance 2, and uncapping 270 L-Glutamine caplets so I could just have the powder. Lol anyway, down .4lbs. Small loss is better then no loss. Question... Anyone know when I should start taking MSM? Is it ok to take during protocol or should I wait until P3??? Want to get a head start on tightening up skin. Hope you are all well. Happy Releasing.

Another day down...

Down another 2.2lbs! No complaints here. Pretty much spent all day preparing for my interview tomorrow. This will be the 3rd one since November for the supervisor position. It's also the 3rd station. I ended up pulling out of Vegas for certain reasons. I ultimately want to get back to So.Cal. I miss it so much. So I am hoping, hoping, hoping that I will get this one tomorrow. They will wait a few weeks to announce it but it is at my station so it won't be too bad. Of course, the interview process will be a little bit harder because, like I said, it is at the station I currently work at. Plus it will be with MY bosses against MY coworkers. I just have to make sure I sell myself and don't sound too cocky. It's hard to talk about myself but oh well. I can do it. I have done it on 2 other occasions, each one better then the last. 

In HCG world... Definitely dealing with hunger pains. My stomach is growling nonstop as I type this. I just had some tea and will get some water in a few. I will be going to bed early tonight because of the interview so hopefully that will help. I have made my food for the work week, one less thing to worry about. Well for 3 of the 5 days. I will finish up tomorrow. I need to hit the grocery store again because I am running low on tilapia and shrimp. I find that when I eat fish, my weight loss is greater. I guess it is because fish has virtually no fat and you can't always get all of the fat off of chicken. Anywho... I have yet to go to GNC. I have been putting it off. I may just order the stuff online. GNC is kind of out of the way for me. I found my folder with my original measurements. I will take some in the AM so that I can compare for the 3 rounds. I fit into an Old Navy LARGE today!!! How awesome right?! And I have a shirt from Torrid that I bought, it's a 0 which is equivalent to a L. It will look perfect with about 5-7 more pounds gone so I am excited. I love seeing the results in my clothes. LOL I am trying not to buy anything right now. I want to wait as long as possible. I will go buy a pair of jeans after this round is up... I can always have my dress pants taken in. Well, I am gonna get going. Happy Releasing to everyone!

Love the first couple of HCG days...

Lost 3lbs yesterday. I am going to try to stop by GNC to pick up some L-Glutamine bc hunger is what really hurt me last round. That and a lack of focus. Lol. This round, all I am thinking about is the fact that I am more then half way to my goal. I am so close, it's not worth messing up for. We had our holiday party last night and I am proud of myself. All that I had was salad with lemon. The chicken looked amazing but it had some orange glaze on it so I knew it was going to be a no-no. So I sat there, eating my 2 servings of salad, which they make the same way I do; a bowl full of spring mix; lol and my club soda. It's actually fun to watch all the drunkenness lol. Anyway, going to see what the scale says this morning and get ready for work. Happy releasing/maintaining.

Back in the saddle again! Round 3 Cycle 1

Two days ago I began R3 and also the beginning of my trial cycling run. I will admit, I did not hold back during the holidays. It was my birthday, then Christmas, then New Years. I had been weighing myself periodically but not so much as to become obsessed with the number on the scale. I knew where I was going into this round. So I am up 10lbs, including loading days. The interesting thing is that after my first loading day, I showed a loss of 1lb and then day showed a gain of 2lbs. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. For this load, I really paid attention to what I was eating. I ate alot of healthy fats; oil, avocado, almonds, eggs, cheese, etc. Idk how healthy the cheese is but I figured I would get the most of it since I will be unable to partake for a little while. This round will be a short one, only the minimum days. Then I will hit P3 and go back into P2 after 3 weeks. I am hoping that I will reach my goal weight of 160-165 during R4. Either way, I will take whatever the weightloss gods want to give me. I was going to put off R3 for a few more weeks but things are extremely stressful at home and this is the only thing that I really have control over. Yes, a little OCD. I do admit but it is what it is. Things at home are actually beyond stressful and in all honesty I have given up. I will save the details for another time. Right now, I am just looking forward to hopping on that scale tomorrow to see what my first loss for this round will be!!! Hope everyone is well. I have missed staying updated with everyone, but I am back and will be checking in on you all on a regular basis. Happy Releasing and Happy Maintaining!!!

Happy New Year

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays. I know I did. I'll be back in full effect and blogging regularly next week. I will be doing a short round then P3 and cycling back to P2 for a full round. Hopefully after that, I will have reached my goal. I would love to get their by May. A lot has been going on and I just don't have the mental energy to fill you all in right now. I'll be back in a couple of days.
