My grumpiness is slowly fading… Although there was some weight gain, my pants that never fit before fit nice and loose. That’s probably the only thing keeping me drinking all this water!
I went and bought my steak for tonight… Excited is an understatement!!! I got this huge steak for $5 from kroger and an apple… I’m going to marinate it as soon as I get home… I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat it all!
But man… I’m licking my lips at the deliciousness this steak and apple are gonna be!!!!
Blah… Gained 2lbs…
I gave into peer pressure and ate a pancake yesterday… This means water all day and a big steak tonight.
Not complaining about the steak but water all day? Blah
blar…
so when i started stabilizing, i weighed in +2lbs. i’ve maintained this weight for the past week though i wish i would drop those 2lbs wherever i picked them up from.
i haven’t been as consistent as i should be with working out. i worked out 3 times last week and am still sore from one of my workouts. but i need to be there m-f and i wasn’t. i’m a little disappointed in myself especially since i couldn’t wait to get back in the gym and go hard. last week was rough in general.
between the infestation of wasps in my daughter’s room, our laundry room flooding with, well, i won’t say, and more, i’ve been a little exhausted. my daughter has been sleeping in the bed with me which is what i’m blaming for me not getting up to do my morning workouts. and then there’s the laundry issue. i’m rapidly running out of clean clothes.
i want to eat carbs and sugar but i still can’t. and i’m getting bummed about it. ugh.
Today is my first official day off.
Yesterday I made a list of foods I will eat and how I’ll make this happen the right way. My goal is to keep up the basis of the program but incorporating more. I went grocery shopping and spent $30 on food for the week. I got some salmon, steak, chicken strips, lettuce, and some other stuff.
But I didn’t wake up with enough time to make my lunch. I made my smoothie for breakfast. It had 1.5 c almond milk, 8 frozen cherries, 2 frozen strawberries and 1 tsp of agave light nectar. It was delicious! And it also cost me a whopping 210 calories! In theory that’s not a lot but it’s also half of what I ate yesterday.
Todays lunch was the salad from chipotle. No rice or beans or corn salsa. 1/2 Barbacoa 1/2 chicken. No dressing. Leaves me with a sum of about 250 cal.
I’m feeling good… We’ll see what the scale says tomorrow.
So tomorrow is the last day of my weaning off the hcg. Today I weighed in at -31lbs. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
I’m nervous. Really really nervous. I’ve worked so hard at getting this weight off. What if I lose my discipline again? Pretty much none of my clothes fit. I’m excited. I really am.
But gosh… I’m super scared too! I made my lunch for tomorrow. Some romaine lettuce with tomatoes and purple onions. I’ll be having fat-free cottage cheese as my protein.
I’ve got to do it… I’ve hit rock bottom before and the only place to keep going is up.
After tomorrow, for the next 21 days, no starches or sugar. Very much so a south beach/Adkins diet. Not so hard. I can’t go +/- 2lbs after I weigh-in on thursday. Once my body stabilizes, I’m done.
During this 21 day phase, my goal is 1000-1200 cal/day. I have a small appetite now but I plan on getting my workout on hard core to firm up and will need the calories to balance out. I’ll be tracking all this, as I already have been, with my loseit.com app.

Sheesh… I’m nervous about tomorrow’s weigh in!
I’m not a foodie by any means. I mean, I like good food but I’m not out here eating gourmet.
Today for lunch I tried some rock shrimp and salad. It was steamed. They look pretty funny but they are delicious! And 4 oz only costs 110 cal and 1 gram of fat. Now that’s awesome.
Just thought I’d share!
It’s actually day 30 of the shots. 29.4 lbs gone. I might as well say 30lbs right?
I am excited about the weight loss. After today, I still have 3 days of the vlcd before I’m totally complete and start to increase both my calories and activity. I’m mighty excited about both.
But I’m nervous as well. I can’t gain this weight again. I’ve gained a lot of discipline and great healthy ideas but now comes the hard part—doing it.
I am determined to be successful. My goal is an additional 15lbs by year end. I will be successful.
