The end

Just wanted to post that I did my 21 days of HCG. I managed to lose 10 lbs. I am on my way to San Diego for spring break. This round has really taught me portion control and to be more aware of when I am really hungry and when I am doing it just to eat the food. I am gonna do another round once spring term starts in a week. Happy spring everyone. Even though we have not really seen any here yet.

Day 14

STILL

          GOING

                       STRONG

Here I am on the evening of Day 14.  I have been pretty much locked into my room today...

1. because I am sick and have the humidifier turned on

2. to keep me from eating anything in the fridge

3. i stained the table and it stinks the house so i am letting it dry with the windows open

ok, it hasn't been all day.  I did take a nap from about 12:15 to 3:00pm.  Now I am awake with coffee.  Did some light informative video watching and dabbled in a few phone games.  But down to business.  The only thing I have eaten so far is an orange.  I am not hungry.  Could be the drops, or it could be the cold.  Either way, I am ok with that.  Saturday I was at a women's retreat and of course they always have delicious food that I can't live without LOVE.  And I dabbled in a bunch and gained 1.6lbs.  So I was a bit better on Sunday, but I did have half of a peanut butter and nutella sandwich.  And this morning I was down .4lbs.  So I am determined to lose another 10 pounds before this round is over and I only have 1.5 weeks left.  I think, unless I actually bring it back to 21 days instead of 26.  I want to have some time to recover before going on vacation in San Diego during spring break.  Anyway, thought I would update a bit and let you know what has been going on with me.

Day 6

So this last week I lost a total of NOTHING.  I actually gained 2.6 lbs...but this morning I weighed, which is Sunday and since being on the restrictive eating I have lost 4.2 lbs.  But from the beginning of the diet to this morning it's a total of 1.2lbs.  That's not much and I blame that on My cheating.

  I did some cheating...the two days before yesterday(I would do really good and then by the evening after dinner I had my down falls.  YESTERDAY, I was very strong.  I did eat anything that wasn't on my diet.  Only added a few extra shrimp or broccoli to the meals and tada... I lost 3.8 lbs from yesterday morning.  YAY me!  That makes me at 267.6lb currently

  It was really hard but I tried and tried not to eat something I shouldn't.  I sure was tempted...My room mate got some kind of cake.  I even went up and inspected it.  But I just gritted my teeth and chewed on my strawberry shortcake gum.  I had lots of water and tea yesterday.  

  So I got some great results and hope fully I can keep on this right track.  I read an article yesterday about a girl who did a venus diet and workout and won the 4th competition.  And it was talking about her struggles.  Pretty much it talked about expecting down falls.  You can't expect to do it perfectly because we are all human and we make mistakes.  It also talked about if you are gonna cheat...just have one.  Not the 3 or 4.  That is what I have a huge problem with.  

  I also got a letter from my college yesterday saying that I made academic achievement for my honor roll in last fall.  Boy is that motivating...I hung it on my wall.

Soon I am gonna be able to add more stones to my weight loss jar!  I guess I will leave you with that then.  I gotta head to work.

Day 3 - Down we Go!

I was down 2.8lbs this morning. Yay me! Unfortunately, I did something backwards today. I ate pizza. I was babysitting two boys and the mom left me pizza to make for their dinner. And it wasn't just a frozen one but a deli made one. Man did it taste good. I didn't even limit myself portions. I'm sure I hit 1000 calories today. Anyway, I guess I'll hit the sack before 12.
It snowed last night meaning I got to sleep in this morning. Love it! Anyway, this bottom picture if from a feel good book that I keep in my night stand when I need a pick me up!
