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!

Day 3 VLCD

This morning I was down 5 lbs from start. VERY happy. I am doing well sticking to plan.
Weekends are hard, I am not as diciplined.
I made chicken soup. it has loads of veggies and not just one..but all are on plan.
I am hoping this doesn't make too much of a difference.

Will put in measurements soon.
:)  Happy SATURDAY!

I'mmmmmm Baaaaack!

So yeah my scale was acting fluky, so I got a new one.
I am UP and I know why, completely flaked on everything I know.
After I got married, I had Honeymoon, Valentine's Day, Easter, My Birthday, My son's 21's Birthday, and Mothers Day. and not ONCE did I make smart choices. You see I am taking all the blame on this.
Because I know WHY I am up. But I will not beat myself up.
I am back on track, I have a new dose of HCG and starting ANEW!
Today is day 1 of Loading. I can only hope that I do as well on this round as I did the first round.
My goal is 30 lbs in 40 days.
But I will take what ever I get.
I also purchased a yoga DVD for beginners.
I'm back on TRACK.

I'mmmm Baaaaaaaack!

Yep time for

Oh Blog I have neglected you!

I have slipped off the blogging wagon and stopped tracking what I ate. So yes I am up 8 lbs.
I am getting back on track, both blogging and tracking.
Going to just excersize and watch my caloric intake for a while.
Then may do another HCG round in May.
For now I am happy with myself. need to take off these extra lbs, but all things considered I am doing well.
I BINGED for a week or so...just eating anything and everything. so yeah I KNOW where those extra lbs came from.
What bugs me is when you gain weight and you're like WHA!?
I need to drink more H2O as well!!!

Go me for getting back on track!

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.
