About Me

Oxford, Massachusetts,, United States
Hi, My name is Kimberly. I decided to blog about my journey to a healthy me. At present I am 50 yo, I weigh about 225 lb (edit...down to 185) I am 5' 10" tall; Re-married Mom of 2 wonderful "boys" (24& 25). I work as an executive assistant, have a fabulous Husband and life would be perfect if I could just learn to budget, get my bills paid and reduce my size by about 60 (edit: 20 more) lb!

Missed 3 shots, started eating normally

Not sure if I should just jump back in and take the last 4 shots and get back on track with the VLCD for 5 or 6 days or should I just quit and start on phase 3 even though yesterday and today I ate rice and some olive oil which neither are on P3.

*sigh*  I hate when I sabotage myself.
I also ate some M&Ms which really shouldn't be part of ANY Phase that I am on.
I feel like I failed myself.

going online later for advice. Right now facebook and all other sites not connected with google are blocked from my work. BLARG!!! don't they know I need moral support during the day!!!!

On an up note my husband and I had a FABULOUS weekend. Joined a new church, had friends come by, and he cooked. My favorite african Dish Jallof...hence the rice.
I love him so much! (even when he doesn't cook. LOL)

Going to stop the HCG. Stablize then start another round

For anyone reading about HCG and doing this protocol, I can't stress enough staying on plan and writing things down. Live and learn as they say. I didn't blog or write down anything I was eating. Even on the days I was ON THE LETTER of the plan. I didn't track it. And the days I was eating off plan I should have kept track of it so I know what is really triggering it.
Anyway I only have about 2 or 3 shots left. I am going to try to get down another 2 lbs. Then stabalize with P3 and P4. then start another round and really really stick to it. I would like to be at goal or damn close to it for the Summer, I know it will be easy to stay at LID weight for the summer, so many more healthy choices and fruits are so much cheaper in the summer. I also eat more fish and get out and excersize more.

I took a trip to NY and started out great  - salad for lunch, alot of walking but when I got home I as hungry and ate lasagna because it was made and ready. (I know better) and yesterday, I ate M&Ms and corn chips with homemade salsa. What was I thinking!?  So I am up a lb, but ready to take it back off.
sometimes I think my body and my mind are not connected. I KNOW what I should and shouldn't be doing and eating, yet my body takes control and I do what I shouldn't.
*sigh*
However I am not going to beat myself up over it, because I am up ONLY a lb, and I know I am going to get right back on track.
TGIF!!!

Soooooo close to ONEderland

after a 5 ay stall, I am down to 200.5. woot!
so very very close to being under 200 again. I can't WAIT. mixed a new batch and made it a bit stronger, and that curbed the hunger. so I was taking to small a dose this time.

Glad to be back to feeling Awesome! Love this plan...have I said that enough...really?!
I can't understand why so many people put the proticol down, or try to debunk it.
IT WORKS!
Wore a new dress to work yesterday, and didn't even where a body cincher under it. and if I say so myself. I LOOKED AWESOME. no tummy bulge and it fit great.  Even my DH said he didn't think he should let me out of the house. LOL.
 Today's Plan:
Brkfst: apple w/stevia & cinamon, coffee
Lunch: lettuce, tomato and cucumber w/ grilled chicken
Dinner: ?  probably shrimp and cabbage - unless we stop at the Indian restaurant, then it will be lamb and veggies.  Strawberries for dessert.

yay finally started releasing again

down 1 lb!  I'm hungry today. this is odd. I am usually NOT hungry on HCG, going to up the dose tomorrow. tummy is actually grumbling. but it is LUNCH TIME.
I have a nice salad with homemade ACV/dijon dressing. And grilled chix.
:)
Of course tomorrow will be hard, meeting a friend for dinner at a sushi place.  I can get Shashimi which is without rice. but the DRINK I will want with it is what is going to kill me.
I may do HALF an apple day to make up for it, and HAVE the saki.

Today's Plan:
Brkfst: apple w/ cinnamon & stevia, Blk cinnamon coffee
Lunch: Lettuce & red peppers, with grilled chicken and mustard dressing.
Dinner: ?  Maybe shrimp & cabbage stir-fry. strawberries w/ stevia

NADA! no loss

I may be in a stall, or I may just not be following plan.
I find when I am uncertain or depressed about everything else in my life. I tend to make bad choices.
Last night I didn't weigh my steak, and I KNOW I ate more than 3 oz. I was hungry. or thought I was.
so no loss, but no gain.
So I can't decide if I am going to do an apple day, or if I am just going to stick to the plan and see how tomorrow's WI goes.

Today's Plan???
Apple day...or
Brkfst: Apple w/ cinnamon & blk Coffee
Lunch: lettuce, ACV & grilled chicken
Dinner: ? Fish, & Asparagus, strawberries w/ stevia

no loss - hmmm

I might be in a stall, I might do an apple day. Or maybe a HALF apple day. Apples till dinner?
I did eat more steak than I should have last night, didn't weigh. so it is mostly my fault.
Havn't decided yet. Maybe just stick to plan and see how tomorrow's W.I goes.

I am really on the emotional roller coaster this week. When I am really motivated I do so well, but when I doubt other things in my life. I tend to wane on the lax side of things.
:(

Today's Plan:
???
Apple day?
or Brkfst: Apple, coffee blk.
Lunch: lettuce, grilled chicken, ACV
Dinner: Fish, asparagus

BLARG!!!! needing moral support

So.... I have no support system this time, and it sux. I need that Rooting committee once in a while. Like now.
Having a TERRIBLE day. Arguing...no FIGHTING with hubby, stupid everyday married stuff, but it turned into a bring up old stuff and start screaming sort of Fight. I feel like I want to throw in the towel on everything in my life. including my healtier me. I know this is temporary, but right now I want pudding...with whipped cream. ...I got...cinnamon flavored black coffee. (small victory I guess)
But well, if you're an emotional eater...you know how I feel.

So the plan fell apart at the Pampered Chef party and I ate stuff I shouldn't. Then I babysat Tyler, he's 4. and I didn't make good choices there either. (peanut butter on celery) good for him, not so good for HCG diet. And some almonds. also good for him, not good for my plan.

so I was up 4 lbs!!! FOUR!
I am back down 3 but DANG!!! HCG is ruthless when you cheat...so if you read my blog, and your on HCG...DON'T CHEAT!!!

Today down to 204.5
today's plan:
Brkfst: Apple w/ stevia & cinnamon
Lunch: lettuce, & cherry tomatoes w/ fish
Snack: black cinnamon coffee.
Dinner: Asparagus, & steak - strawberries & stevia.
