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)
