Me at the end of 40 days

 

Weigh in at 199.4 lbs

So excited… I am sorry that i haven't really been blogging lately… it has even been a struggle on my family blog as well as my creative blog… We have been super busy… more often away from the homestead than at home… which is why i think i didn't do as good this time as the 1st time i did the HCG…

So total loss since January is 38.4 LBS… almost at 40LBS… but the best news is that i am under 200LBS… that right there is a milestone for me… that blue denim shirt in the photo is a LARGE… yes a LARGE… and the pants are an 18 but they are big on me…

I am wearing LARGE shirts instead of XXL or XL… That right there is a huge improvement… then the pants i have gone from a size 20 to a size 16… I can buy stuff at TARGET… Probably at OLD NAVY too but i am waiting on that one… Next goal is to fit into my LEVI’S size 14 SHORT…

So now i will be on Phase 3… and i really don't see my life slowing down any time soon… I will post when i can… hopefully every day if not every other day…

This was me with cousin KRISTA and my MOM in Havasu in Jan 2010 that is me before all the weight loss…  The second photo was taken in Feb when i first started the diet… third photo is on my 40th day from cycle 1 and taken in march… 

   

This photo of me in the hat is from April… while on my 6 week hiatus…

These two photos are from the same day different angles almost… but i was about 215 in these photos… and these are from our trip in May to California's great America…

It is interesting to see the progression i have made and the transformation that has begun… so excited to carry on forward… i now have 39.4 Lbs to reach 160… that is my next goal…

Days 22, and 23 (Friday and Saturday)

Friday Weigh in: 202.6

Saturday weigh in 200.6

Same eating habits as i usually have…

For Friday i took a nap at 445pm and didn't get up until 845 so yes a 4 hour nap with no dinner… by the time i got up it was too late to have one… oh well

On Saturday i went for a walk with a friend about a 20 min brisk walk… I had tons of errands to run…

For dinner i had chicken… grilled on the BBQ marinaded in apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic salt and some grilled chicken seasoning… YUMMY!

Day 21

So yesterday i didnt realize that it was the half way mark… Wow… but kind of not really since last week was that time of the month… so, really i am on like day 19… but whatever…

Weigh in 203.0 so i did an apple day today… since i was pretty much the same as the day before…

so yeah my day was pretty boring… I have been tired lately… but i think it is because my body is fighting off a cold… yes i said it a cold in JUNE… WTH… whatever… anyways cant wait to see what i am weighing in tomorrow…

I am seriously 3 lbs away from 200 and 4 lbs away from 199… so excited…

day… what day am i on… June 2nd ***1/2 way point day 20***

Today went by great for the most part… Weigh in 203.0
lost 6 tenths  of a pound… i did well until i got home and realized i left my HCG at work… What the Heck! oh well tomorrow is another day…
made a tomato paste based beef meal…
it included apple cider vinegar
tomato paste
garlic, garlic salt, oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper and black pepper… and put over a bed of shredded lettuce… I couldn't find the cabbage at the Albertsons i went to… Oh well… It was good don't get me wrong…I had eggs with salsa this morning and chicken breast with salsa for lunch…
YUMMY…
here's to another good day tomorrow…
Any food ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated…

Weigh in 203.6

OMG!!! I am so close to being at 200LBS i can not believe it…

Today for Breakfast i had hard boiled eggs with salsa… my usual apples for my snacks and then for lunch and dinner chicken breast with salsa…

That was about my day… I know boring huh… It was so totally hectic at work today… with the move and all…

Tomorrow is a new day… I think the number one reason that it has been harder for me this time around is because i have not prepared like i used too…I haven't made the time like i did the last round…
