I am a little disappointed but then there could be several reasons...I don't think I cheated but I did color my hair, I know this plan says not to even really use shampoo so this might be the reason.  It also might be almost my time of the month.  It isn't quite as regular as I would like.  I am also feeling a little (how can I put it delicately) stopped up... I might have to try to get things moving.  

The protocol says an occasional plateau but that things will even out in the end so I hope that is what is going on.

I had a good day yesterday.  I had coffee for breakfast, then I bought a pack of lump crab meat and had a salad with bib lettuce for lunch.  Dinner was shrimp and asparagus with garlic and cinnamon.  

I did have about 9 triscuit thins as well as an apple and an orange.  

I am excited because I picked up some stevia when I was out at the store which means I can not weight to have my coffee this morning....BYE!

Such a busy weekend!  My stepson got married and we went out of town for the wedding.  I was sooo worried this would be my down fall.  I could not weigh all weekend.  I stuck to protocol as best as possible on Friday when we were driving up.  We ate with the future in laws but fortunately we ate at their place and had hamburgers and salad, not exactly protocol but I could make it work.  Then Sat morning the day of the wedding we went to a diner and I actually got them to make an omelet with 3 egg whites and one full egg! Score right, still right on track....and that is where I blew it.  The food at the wedding wasn't horrible, at least nothing was fried! I tried not to go crazy but I was still worried THEN they insisted we stay for steak dinner.....Well it was a special occasion and wont happen again (we hope) so I wont beat myself up about it.  
Sunday I got back on track and didn't eat ANYTHING off protocol.  So I got up today just hoping to not be up today....I am excited to say I am DOWN even after all I ate Saturday.  (I could beat myself up thinking HOW down would I be if I hadn't messed up Saturday but that doesn't do anyone any good!) 

I am down 1.3 to 258.6~  I am not going to try to actually list every thing I ate it will be impossible.  

Here's hoping to even bigger losses tomorrow!!

lbs lost:1.5

breakfast: 1/2 cup black coffee
 snack: 1 apple (peeled)
lunch: 100g shrimp sauteed in 1 tsp coconut oil smothered in garlic over 1 cup romaine lettuce 
dinner: 100g grilled chicken with grilled onions

I did slip and sneak a handful of steak.  I have to work on will power as it isn't fair to expect my family to stop eating things just because I am not supposed to but yet when they are things I love I have problems walking away.  Hey 10 lbs in a little over a week....I will take it!


My stepson is getting married tomorrow and I have to go out of town for the wedding.  I have some challenges ahead but I am going to try my best to get through it.

I had a kind of bad day yesterday.  I ate 1 wasa toast and black coffee for breakfast, grilled chicken and romaine lettuce with 4 strawberries for lunch but it went down hill from there.  I bough some granola to pick up with my CSA veggie box and it was really hard to resist so I had a few small samplings of that. I also snuck 1 gummy bear.  Dinner was shrimp and asparagus but in between I snacked on 1 celery stalk and a couple radishes.  

I really want to hit 10 lbs today so I will be much better about following the plan.

Time to start up this blog again....

So, I have been purposely quiet on the subject of weight loss but it is time to come out of hiding and update the world on what I have been up to.  

So recently this new HCG thing has been all the rage.  Doctors are doing it, they are starting programs and charging an arm an a leg.  Well after getting several personal recommendations I decided to look into it.  I did the research and found the information from the Doctors who came up with the plan.  You can also read it http://hcgdietinfo.com/HCG-Diet-Info-Dr-ATW-Simeons.htm.  It is a very low calorie diet for the time you are using the protocol but from what people told me as well as what the information states, when you start burning your stored fat you don't even realize you aren't eating much.  Some people say they have trouble even getting in the small amount required in!

So I ordered the HCG and assorted accoutrements (mixing kit and what nots) and patiently waited.  I finally got everything and began on May 30.  My starting weight was (gasp) 269.8.  I fat loaded as suggested and actually got up to 271.5.  (Gosh it takes everything in me to actually put those numbers out there for the world and the internets to see but I am coming clean!) For the intent of this blog though we are going to focus on the starting weight not the fat loading weight.  
So Starting weight 3/30 was 269.8.  Today is exactly one week later and I am currently at 262.4.  I have been VERY good about the 500 calories however I don't live in a vacuum and sometimes it isn't possible to stick to exactly the foods listed in the manuscript.  On Monday we had an end of the year banquet for my daughter's scout troop.  It wasn't like there was grilled chicken and asparagus on the menu so I had the meat off of a roast beef sandwich and a few celery sticks and some broccoli.  The there was last night when I made a chuck steak in gravy for the family, which is one of my favs if I must say and I couldn't resist so along with my 100 g piece of grilled chicken on a bed of green lettuce with a few red radishes I also snuck a few pieces of the roast.....and this morning I was still down a full 2 pounds!  In fact I have hit AT LEAST two pounds every day.

Now I am realistic, I don't expect to keep up at this rate but I finally find myself HAPPY to face the scale and I haven't felt that way in a LONNNG time.  So I am going to try to post in this blog daily to show what I actually ate and my daily weigh in.  I will be on this first cycle until I believe July 13.  I really hope to knock off the 40 lbs they say I can expect. I will be repeating this 6 weeks after that if I make it through until the 13th. (really it is 40 days, that is like Lent, right??)  It will be hard, I don't have the most will power and I often have a love hate relationship with food.  I know I don't always eat just for hunger which is my fatal flaw! That is why I am keeping this blog.  I need the accountability.

For anyone who is reading this because they are curious about the plan (as I was and couldn't find many personal accounts on here) I will say, I haven't yet felt that so full feeling I couldn't choke down the low calories required.  I feel the most hungry first thing in the morning but it does go away and I am not in the least bit suffering.  My step son is getting married this weekend so THAT will be a challenge but if I could treat my little ones to a bag of gummi bears yesterday and NOT EAT A ONE....I CAN do this! 

 

Fat fat fat fat fat

I am so tired of being FAT...there I said it I am fat and it is disgusting. Maybe now I can commit to fighting instead of continuing on this downward spiral I am on.
