Day 38 and 39

day 38 weigh in 212.4
Sunday... Bad day long day:) lets just say that i didnt plan very good food wise... only one meal and it consisted of 2 hamburger patties, onions tomatoes and some mustard and a side of strawberries... I had no cake... But did sniff a potatoe chip for way too long... never made it in my mouth...

Day 39 weigh in 211.4
Better day but arent they always when you are more structured with the whole work routine...
Tomorrow is Day 40 WOW...

Day 36 & 37

Weigh in 213.4...
What the Heck...  :) I am so happy that i am finally seeing some more weight loss... Today was a bad day... I dont mean i ate unhealthy foods... but rather only ate twice today... I know shame on me... I wasnt planning on doing that... that was part of the problem... I DIDNT PLAN... in order to be successful on this diet you have to be planning ahead... Let me say to be successful in the weight loss game you have to plan ahead...
That makes it 21 pounds since the start of this HCG diet and 3 pounds from the Grapefruit diet... Damn i am coming up close to 25 LBS which is 1/4 of the loss that i want to see for my goal...

Days 33, 34 & 35

Tuesday 216.4
Wednesday weigh in 216.4
Yes i stayed the same as Tuesday... However i finally started today and i got ill... I think from something i ate... I tossed my cookies (and no i havent had any sweets since i have started this program)... my spinich may have gone bad... So lucky me... I was cramping and i had a bad stomach... it is so embarrassing at work to go into the ladies bathroom and have to puke...Horrible day...
Thursday weigh in  214.8
But If going through all that pain gets me to my 20 LB weight loss goal then it was all worth it... So instead of bringing lunch today i bought in the cafeteria... 3 scrambled eggs, then 1/2 steak at lunch with romaine lettuce tomatoes onions and some salsa... then for dinner we went to subway where i got the turkey sandwich as a salad... with vinegar for my dressing... then my apples... We went to see Alice in Wonderland tonight... It was ok... Strange but that is the word that Tim Burton Owns, is and does

Day 32

Weigh in 216.4
Still going down on the scale... i love it...
I still can not believe in 8 days my 40 day journey is over... I am sad that i didnt lose the 40 pounds in 40 days, I am happy that i have lost almost 20 pounds... It is what it is... Right? at least i went down on the scale and not ever climbing back up... My Husband asked me the other night if i planned on keeping the weight off(after i said that i wanted to shop at old navy again once i can fit cutely in thier clothes) and i advised him that gaining the weight back is not an option... He is going to help with keeping my weight off... How might you ask... Well i am glad you did, By getting on with healthier eating habits alongside me... I can only go forward from now on... I can not turn my ugly head back in the direction that i was going... I need to go in a more positive direction... If i turn my back on the knowledge that i have obtained in the last 40 days then what have i gained, what have i sacraficed?
Then it will be onto another journey for 21 days... So looking forward to it :)

I can not believe i will be starting phase 3 in like 9 days... wow!!! Boy am i looking forward to having avocado, almonds and some peanut butter... back into my diet... even cheese and sour cream with my chili...
I will hopefully have a video camera sometime soon so that way i can make some videos of me cooking some of my new found mad skills at cooking... with my new found recipes... and my mad spinning skills of someothers...

I am doing this right arent i? does that time of the month really throw you off that much?i cant seem to break through 222? Why? I am perplexed... I admit i admired the brownies again...

Day 19

Weigh in 222.4
I had 3 apples today and then egg salad for dinner...
And i had many cravings for sweets and to cheat and did i no... I was super stressed today and i don't know why... I wanted to eat all the things that i haven't been able to have or really want... I rarely get asked how my day goes all i hear is the complaints from my husband... tomorrow is halfway... I can do this really i can... and i know that right around the corner well i think more like Friday Aunt Flow should be rearing her ugly head... and i don't know if that has anything to do with 1.my plateau... or that i want to eat myself into a coma of nothing but sweets and stuff that i shouldn't want... or maybe both...
OUT for now...
