I'm Back!

After nearly two months of maintenance [sorta], I am starting the second round of my HcG Protocol today! Let me assure you that with all of the fun I had during the Holiday season, only gaining back that amount is a good thing. I totally enjoyed myself and all that Thanksgiving and Christmas have to offer!

I lost 44 pounds and 45 inches during the first round in just a little over two months... can't beat that!

On maintenance, I gained 5.8 pounds back, but that includes the weight I gained during the two Binge Days I just went through to get ready to return to protocol. I know that will come off pretty quickly. I would love to lose another 40-60 pounds in the next eighty or so days! With God's grace and with Him helping through this, I know it can be done!

I am posting a Round 2 starting picture below.... I think I may put on the outfit I started in sometime this week just to see if there is a noticeable difference!

Mood: PSYCHED UP!!!
Hunger Rating: 3
Today's Loss: 7.4 Pounds
Total Pounds Lost: 41 Pounds


HALLELUJAH!!!

Weigh and measure day..... 43 inches and 41 pounds!!!!

I am almost at the end of my first round of HcG. I am going to have to go on maintenance for a few days while I wait for my new medication to arrive.

This makes me very nervous, with being on maintenance and the holidays coming up I am hoping I can maintain and stick to it and not gain weight. SOOOOOOO SCARY!!!

On the other hand.... I am so psyched up to keep losing! People are really starting to notice... James told me today that I have a nice butt! Kinda liking that!

Last Friday I wore jeans and a [form-fitting] shirt to work WITHOUT any of my normal body briefers or girdles or strategically placed elastic hold 'em and wrangle 'em in undergarments.... and people were commenting on how much weight I had lost! Not that I am going to go without my body shaping garb [they are like my security blanket] very often, but it was nice to know that I can if I want to! Look at my new picture that I posted below!!!

So... I have about five more days of HcG and then I am on my own for a few days..... praying and hoping God gives me the strength to overcome and out do and keep up everything I have started!!!

Here's to more and more pounds lost!!!

Today's Loss: 1 pound
Total Loss: 34 pounds

Okay.... so I have been absent for a little while. Finishing my thesis and life have just been complicated and i have not had the time nor the energy to blog everyday. I took a little hiatus as far as the strict, strict, strict following of the program for a few days too....

Now, however, I am 100% back on track and ready to kick the but of a bunch more pounds!

The stats at this point in the game are 34 pounds and 37.25 inches lost in less than two months! Woo! Hoo! Can't complain about that at all! Think of it in a more concrete, visual format [yes, I am a teacher through and through!] I have lost seven five pound bags of potatoes and more than a yardstick in inches!!!

I tried a new recipe today.... Spicy Cucumber Crab Salad.... YUM~MO!!!!! Really, really good and you get a TON in one serving!

Praying that the holidays are easy and I am able to stick with the program with no problems!!!

BTW, check out my new picture! I must say that I impressed myself with this one...it was the first full-length shot where I could really, really, really tell what is going on with my body! I am looking pretty HOT! if I do say so myself!!!

Well, I guess all things considered, less than two pounds is not too bad considering I have been bad a couple of days in a row now. Hopefully this will be the last of it and I will get back on program tomorrow. The good news is that my date was amazing and we will be going out again!

I don't know what it was today, but I was craving animal crackers like crazy. That plus Pei Wei Hot and Sour Soup resulted in a pound gained. Not so good, plus I have a date tomorrow.... hoping to be okay, but it is going to be a tough weekend. I will have to get back on track BIG TIME on Monday!

Measurement Day # 4..... 32 pounds and 30.25 inches in 37 days!

That is an additional 6 inches in one week!... AMAZING!!!

That is nearly six five pound bags of potatoes in pounds gone and almost a WHOLE YARDSTICK gone in inches!!! [...and really, it is the inches I am loving; I have all of my ribbons I get each week that are measured in my total number of inches lost hanging in my office for inspiration!!!]

Aiming for 18 additional pounds in the next twenty-nine days! That's just a little more than half a pound I need to lose every two days... NO PROBLEM [crossing fingers!!!]

Even frustrating new from GCU can't get me down today!!!
