Keep On Keepin' On!

Think it's time to upload a progress pic? Maybe tomorrow!

I have lost a total of 12lbs since January 3rd... Not great, but it's something! That HCG diet rally messed me up! Never gonna give up though!


I use explanation points A LOT!

Hamster Wheel

Hello! What a week!

Not only is my car lock not working properly (well, it works manually), our garage door opener stopped working and I had to get pulled out of the ditch this week! It has been expensive!

I am so glad I quit my math class, I can't even tell you! The weekends are mine again and I can catch up on sleep! I am having issues at work though. I am really getting overwhelmed by the stress. I go through phases where I wish I could just quit and be a cashier or something, but that would be NUTS! How could I walk away from a salary and pretty great schedule, especially when I have a weddingmoon to pay for!

Every week is the same mundane thing.. I am always so tired by Friday that I just want to crawl into a hole and sleep for the rest of winter! Saturday is my only real day I really feel like myself and I always want it to be exciting! Love getting out of Rochester, I actually wear makeup and sometimes earrings! I need more Saturdays!

Speaking of winter, when the hell is it going to be over? I am done! I got a tanning membership this week, so hopefully that will help my skin get some much needed light.

Here I Go Again On My Own!

Well well well! What does a week of not following ANY specific diet get you? A stress free week... For the most part! If I didn't have a cold I would be even better! But being that I ate foods I know make me gain and not feel nourished, I have put a few of the HCG lbs back on. Cue the sad music right? WRONG, I don't really care that I didn't follow a diet this week, but I did, wait for it... WORK OUT this week! Yep you read it right, I worked out a whole 30 minutes on Saturday playing Dance Central! And I actually enjoyed it.
This week I plan to keep living low carb but allowing a "off plan" meal on Saturday. I have tried this in the past and it has worked well for me as long as I work out regularly... So we'll give that a shot!
Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day! I am just trying to find the best fit plan for me.

Hoarse Play

To keep the fun this week has already been going... I have had a sore throat for 2 days and today it is really bad! If I am getting sick I am gonna freak out! I am stressed out enough as it is, today is gonna be a struggle as I have work and 3 hours of class.

Stop the ride, I wanna get off!

OMFG! WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?!

If it fits in my mouth and it's edible... I will eat it! I can't stop!

I quit the HCG on Monday night and that is when it all started. We ate at Don Pablos with my parents and some family friends. One meal seems kind of harmless, but now I am spinning out of control! If I gain these 14lbs back I am gonna be so pissed!

My plan was to go right back to Atkins, but I can't seem to stop eating all the carby crap we have around the house. A handful of Goldfish here, peanut butter M&Ms there. Regular soda? Sure, why not!

I gotta get my head together!

Quitter Quitter Chicken Dinner!

I am seriously considering quitting the HCG diet. This is day 6 of very low calorie and I am still dizzy, shaky and have a constant headache. I am crabby ALL THE TIME, especially at work! I got my... ahem, "friend" this week, which is about 3 weeks early and that SUCKS! I am happy with the weight loss, but that is the only thing keeping me going.

I feel like a failure. Okay, not a failure, but a quitter. I quit math, now maybe this diet? Is this just a defense mechanism so I don't have to push myself or do I really feel like this isn't right for me? Will I regret not continuing? It's not like I am gonna stop trying to lose weight, I am just gonna go back to Atkin's, but with exercising too. So I can still enjoy fruit occasionally.

What do you guys think? I need advice/help!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hola! This is gonna be a quick post...

I am down 6.2lbs this week! That is a total loss of 14.2lbs since Jan. 3rd! WOOHOO!

Under Pressure

As most of you know I have been STRESSED out with school this semester. Well I let it get the best of me today. I dropped my online math class! I am feeling kind of guilty right now, but the pre-college level classes in math were manageable online and this one was terrible. I think I need to take it form a real teacher. I found myself guessing on a lot of answers and then wonder why I get 60% on the tests. So I dropped it! Now I have more time for myself on the weekends and also to dedicate to anatomy.

Feeling Better... I Think

So this is day four of VLC, and I feel pretty good. The only thing I am struggling with so far is drinking enough water and Randall eating anything he wants IN FRONT OF ME! LOL, I just want to smack him when he gets a bowl of cocoa puffs, nuts, candy or even cheese! I can't eat anything good and that is the only thing that has been hard this week! The only thing keeping me going is seeing the numbers going down on the scale. This week I have lost 6lbs so far! Woot!

This afternoon will be another struggle as I am taking Kaylee to Never Say Never, the Justin Bieber movie and of course she has already said "don't forget the popcorn". OMG! I love popcorn! I already told her I can't eat any of it, so hopefully she yells at me if I try to sneak any! Randall and I are also going to see Just Go With It on Saturday night, maybe the smell alone will be good enough

Have a great weekend, I will be doing A LOT of math and watching movies!

I Have a Headache... THIS BIG!!

Today is my VLCD2 (very low calorie day 2). I do not feel like myself! I am very anxious and finding it hard to concentrate! The girls from LCF (Low Carb Friends) assure me it will go away soon, but it is really annoying! After loading I gained 5 lbs... Went up to 203lbs, but came back down to 200.4 lbs this morning so I guess it's working?! I am going to do the dosage of the drops differently tomorrow, hopefully that helps!

Happy Wednesday!

Filled To The Brim

OMG! I feel like crap! This has been my second day loading and I have had too much!

Breakfast:
4 Strips of bacon
10-15 Keebler cheesecake cookies

Snack:
Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos

Lunch:
Whopper w/cheese
Med. Fries/Onion rings (Randall & I shared)
Coke

Dinner:
6-7 Cheesesticks from Godfather's
1/2 of a small pizza from Godfather's
1/2 a Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream
Root Beer

WOW! So tomorrow starts the 500 calorie diet. I think I will be able to live off the menu from today for about a year!

Excuse me while I puke!

Here We Go Steelers, Here We go!

It is Superbowl Sunday and I am PUMPED!!!! My non home state team is in the big game and I can't wait to see MN's biggest rival get beaten! It is also my first day of the HCG Diet. I have taken my first 10 drops and they taste like... Nothing! So that is a nice surprise, I guess some of the drops taste like alcohol.

So I am loading today and tomorrow, eating all the fatty foods I can find! Then on Tuesday I start a strict calorie reducing diet. Hopefully I live through it! That is a joke, btw! I will be fine! If I do start to feel like crap I will reach out to the support of LCF (lowcarbfriends.com) for advice on what to do. There are plenty of beautiful women that have been very successful with the HCG and swear by it!

Have a safe and happy Superbowl! Go Steelers!
