R1P2D28-35

WOW .. I can't believe it's been a little over a week since I did an update. Well, actually I can. I don't get online from home much and with the Holiday and bad weather we had, I wasn't at work much last week.

My weight results are over on the right. They don't look so pretty do they? I've had some ups & downs over the past week and FINALLY, today, a little lower that my weight LAST SATURDAY. That's 10 days! Ouch!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! Off to check out pages!

ARGH! So basically I'm right back to where I was on Saturday. This weekend was super busy and I know that I didn't eat (maybe enough?) at specific times and I know that my water intake was WAY OFF! I'm noticing that if I don't get my water in, then I'm not seeing good results the next day.

Work in progress............ 'Nuff said.

-1.6 LIW (Phase 2 Total 20.40)

I'm quite surprised to have a -1+ 2 days in a row being so far in Phase 2!! Not complaining, just surprised me when I got on the scale this am! -3.7 to go until I hit my 2nd goal!

Last night I did the 1st day of the C25k program! Holy crap did that kick my butt! I did my 1st day with a little bit of modification :( I wasn't able to run the last set, so I walked at a fast(er) pace instead. My walking was at 3.5 and my running was between 4-4.5. Cool down was at 3.0 and last 1 minute at 2.5. I'm guessing that's still on the "slow" side, but I will work it up in time. I'll probably do R1 2x. Goal is to do a 5k this spring with my coworker! We are both really excited. BUT I did notice that when I ran, my butt didn't bounce! lol Before, when I would run I could feel everything in the back shake up & down!

Busy weekend ahead, so my plan is to preplan all my meals and keep something on hand incase something unexpected comes up. Because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a normal weekend!

-1.4 LIW (Phase 2 Total 18.8)

YAY for no Mini-Plateau! Today is my day 23 and my 21st injection (skipped 2 days with TOM). I can't help but keep thinking "Ya know? Today COULD be your last injection day! And you could enjoy Thanksgiving just a LITTLE more!" Argh.. I can't get that out of my head!!! But my goal is to make it another 23 days on Phase 2!! That means I will probably be doing a total of 49 days (21 injections x2, take 4 days off w/TOM, 3 days VLCD after last injection).

Yesterday I looked up all the rewards for losing 10%!! The Mr is probably really excited about #7 and my kids are probably really excited about #1! I used to be SO exhaused by 6-7:00 pm that I wouldn't be able to do anything "fun" with them!

10. Better blood pressure
9. Improved heart health and lower cholesterol levels
8. Decreased risk for diabetes
7. Enhanced sex life
6. A better night’s sleep for those with obstructive sleep apnea
5. Less pain associated with arthritis, joint disease, and lower back pain.
4. Better breathing
3. Decreased risk for colon and breast cancer
2. A healthier gallbladder
1. More energy

-0.0 LIW (Phase 2 Total 17.4)

Well, at least it wasn't a gain! My water intake yesterday was good. My eating was good until Dinner. Tuesday is my busiest day anyways, but add that I'm doing everything alone and it's just plain crazy! I didn't take any meat out of the freezer so I was a little stuck on what to eat. I picked up my oldest from work and we went to Del Taco (had an hour to kill before picking up my son) and I ordered a Chicken Taco Del Carbon and only ate the chicken/onions/cilantro. This morning I made sure to take out some meat!!

Hope it was the eating out and not the start of a mini-plateau!

-1.2 LIW (Phase 2 Total 17.4)

I'm SOOOO excited to hit the first goal that I set for myself! I've lost 10% of my weight since starting on 10/19/10! When I was with Weight Watchers, it took me 12 weeks to hit my 10%! I now have 6.7 lbs to go to hit my 2nd Goal, 1'der Land!!!

Last night I made the family Soup & Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Grilled Cheese is my Comfort Food!!! It didn't even "look" good to me last night. What's up with that? ;) And even tho I'm on Day 21, I'm still not craving Sugar! I hope this continues since I made the decision to do a 42 day round!

From my doctors appointment on Saturday I lost another 2.75 inches. So my total is -6 1/4 inches so far. I can't wait for the hips/thighs/waist #'s to drop more!!

Thighs -.5" / Hips -.5" / Waist -.5" / Chest -.25" / Neck -.5" / Arm -Same = -2 3/4

Day 18 -.80 Total -15.6 TOM
Day 19 -.80 Total -16.4 TOM
Day 20 +.20 Total -16.2

This weekend was absolutely bananas! The Mr had knee surgery on Friday so my whole day was off schedule.. as well as Saturday & Sunday. I never ate 'off plan', but I didn't stay on plan either as far as when I ate and how much. If anything, I under ate. My water intake was off too :(

But everything is back on track today and hopefully I'll have atlease a -.8 loss tomorrow am! I'm SOOOO close to my first goal of 10%!

I had a doctor appointment on Saturday and lost some more inches, I'll have to post those tomorrow. I've decided to do another 21 days of injections which will put my R1P2 to 42 days! I think that I can do it.. and my physician is behind me!

Another thing is that my TOM lasted FOREVER! Ok.. not forever, but 2 extra days sure felt like forever! I asked my doc and she said that was probably normal with the HCG. Hopefully next month will be normal.
