Exactly the same. Sigh... I'll never get into the 170's at this rate. I was pretty good yesterday, although I did have sugar free creamer and 2 cheeze-its. But for lunch I had a bowl of chili and an apple. Then for dinner I ate tilapia with ACV and baked radishes. I was sooooo good. It's not fair! I really wanted some caramel girl scout cookies, BAD! But I didn't eat them. Maybe the whoosh fairy will come tomorrow and take a few pounds with her :)

Wow! I can't believe how long I went without updating my blog! I was really good for a couple days, then really bad on the weekend. Saturday was TWO birthday parties, and Sunday my BFF was loading, so I had to join her. Yesterday I weighed in at 187.2!! I was super good yesterday. I had a McDonald's Grilled chicken salad (no cheese) and I didn't even put any dressing on it. I also drank a large Diet Dr Pepper. Then I had an apple for a snack. Then for dinner I ate a tilapia filet smothered in Bragg's apple cider vinegar- just like Long John Silver's! Okay, not really, but close enough for me! Then I ate a whole cucumber in some more of the vinegar. I was so stuffed. I hope I lose 2 pounds a day again!

And yes Robin...we need to stay focused and get into the 170's THIS WEEK!!

R2P2D31: Weight 185.2

I lost .8 pounds! I was stalled yesterday at 186, and too busy to update. I'm excited to be down, because I cheated yesterday for lunch. I ended up eating boneless wings from the WalMart deli that were covered in general sauce. I'm sure it is loaded with sugar. I also ate about 4 GS cookies. I wanted to go ahead and eat a Big Mac for dinner, since I had already cheated, but remembered what my friend told me..."damage control". SO- I decided to go with that. For dinner I only ate an apple and some rotisserie chicken. I didn't feel like eating my zuchinni. Glad it worked!! Thanks Elizabeth :)

R2P2D29: Weight 186.0

Yep, I gained 2 and a half pounds! That's actually less than I thought after my cheat yesterday. Sigh...I did it intentionally though. I am on spring break from work, so since I had the time I decided to cook something great for dh. I made chili verde (a pork dish), mexican rice and refried beans with cheese melted on them. I wasn't going to eat it, but then I thought it was definately worth it! Besides, I knew id still be in the 180's, so I am okay with it. I am really going to hit the water hard, and yerba mate to help flush it all from my system. If I were to cheat again, id be out of this number, and I DON'T want that!

R2P2D28: Weight 183.6

Yep, a stall. Serves me right for cheating so badly. Yesterday I decided to do a protein shake for lunch. It was a nice treat. Then for dinner I had planned on doing scallops, but had the worst headache in the world. I took a pain pill and felt so ill. I ended up just reheating a chicken breast, and I didn't even want to eat that. So I had no fruit or veggies yesterday at all. I'm not sure if that helped or hurt. I'll stay on protocol today and see what tomorrow brings.

R2P2D27: Weight 183.6

Well, I am up a pound. That was expected! Thanks Robin, I am not going to beat myself up. I am also happy with a little slower losses to feel "normal" sometimes (Not that I AM normal, lol). I have been really good today, I have only had water, a cup of yerba mate and a protein shake made with coffee. I have a headache so thought it might be lack of caffeine?? Could also be carb detox from all that sugar yesterday. For dinner I plan on having scallops and radishes again. They seem to be some of the lowest fat foods we're allowed, let's see if they work a miracle for me tomorrow!

R2P2D26: Weight 182.6

Well, it's 2 oz. But after my big losses the last few days I kind of expected that. For lunch yesterday I had a cup of my chili. The breakroom was filled with all kind of snacks, cheese dip and the most delicious looking cake with butterfinger candy on top I had ever seen! I did not touch a single thing!! It was hard, so hard. Then for dinner I ate a oven-roasted chicken breast salad from Subway. I was doing good, until dh couldn't eat his whole foot long sub. I ate about a quarter of it, bread, chipotle sause and all. It was so good! I forgot to eat a fruit, so maybe it was okay. I know I'll be up tomorrow. I was making PB&J sandwiches for the kiddos, and made myself one. As if that wasn't enough, I got into the Girl Scout cookies. I've been doing so well with NOT eating them. Oh, well. Too late now. I am content with losing a little slower if it means keeping my sanity sometimes. Now that I am mixing my own hCG at home, it is much cheaper so I can afford to waste some time. I just hope to lose another 30 pounds in the next 60 days... before my trip to Disney
World. I feel confident I can do it!!

R2P2D25: Weight 182.8.

Woo-hoo!! 2 more pounds! I can't believe I am so close to the 170's :) I'm glad this weekend I don't really have any social commitments, I may be able to stay on protocol. I do have to sell Girl Scout cookies tonight and tomorrow, luckily I am not craving them anymore. Right now I'm on a bread kick. I would love a warm roll with honey butter, mmmmm. But I would love to be 175 even more!! Yesterday I ate one-fourth of a banana cream donut from krispy kreme. It was so good and it satisfied me, shocking. Then I was so busy I didn't get a chance to eat lunch, but I did eat my apple. Then for dinner I ate some more of the rotisserie chicken and steamed broccoli. I wasn't hungry at all!

R2P2D25: Weight 184.8.

WOW! This is the lowest I have weighed since I can remember! Yesterday I ate a chiken salad from McDonald's for lunch and an apple. Then for dinner I had some scallops and baked radishes. I read on the forum that those 2 foods are some of the best to eat for weight loss, so I'm not sure if they helped or not. I feel like they did! I made the kids cheeseburgers and fries last night, and I wanted to cheat so bad. I'm really glad I didn't! :)

R2P2D24: Weight 186.6.

Another almost pound! Well, I am finally where I was pre-cheat...last THURSDAY! It has taken me a week to get over that cheating. I really hope it doesn't happen again. Yesterday I had some of my chicken chili for lunch (Mmmmmm) and an apple. Then for dinner I had rotisserie chicken form the store and cabbage. The chicken is probably full of fillers, but I didn't want to cook. Oh well. Today I fell like I really want something sweet. I hope my apple does it for me and I can stay strong!

R2P2D23: Weight 187.4.

Another 3 pounds!!! I am so excited. I am almost where I was before my string of cheats. I think I'll definately be there tomorrow. Yesterday I was not hungry at all. I ended up not eating lunch until almost 4:00!! I had a Sonic grilled chicken salad without the cheese. Then for dinner I was still stuffed, but felt like I should eat something. I just ate a cucumber- I couldn't even eat the whole thing. I guess the hCG is working really good now :) I hope it keeps doing the same!!!

R2P2D22: Weight 190.4.

Yes, I'm up :( But actually I'm down!! It took me awhile to get updated here. It was a long weekend. First of all, my shoulder is KILLING ME! I went to the doctor Thursday and he thought it was a pulled muscle. He gave me some drugs...but they haven't really helped except to sleep. The pain is still just as bad as it was. Also, I went out of town for a seminar. I tried to be good. Thursday night we ate at a steakhouse. I got a steak and steamed broccoli. I didn't even touch the rolls! Then Friday we had a salad bar for lunch, so all I ate was a huge salad. The only protein choices were turkey, ham and roast beef. Well they are all bad, so I just ate a little turkey. Then I was starving and ended up eating all the little snacks they gave us (trail mix, candy, chips...) Ugh! Then for dinner we ate Asian. I went with stir-fried chicken and cabbage, but ate the sauce and rice. This was probably full of MSG- causing a big gain. Then Sat. I had Mexican and threw all caution to the wind. Yesterday I weighed in at 194.4!!! So I ate strictly protocol, and took a detox bath. I'm down 4 pounds!! Yay! Now if I could be down another 4 pounds today I'll be right back where I was. Also TOM is nowhere to be found, so I was really worried...but the little plastic test said negative. Whew! I hope for the best...

R2P2D18: Weight 186.8.

I am just glad it was down! I didn't exactly eat on protocol yesterday, but I tried hard to not deviate too much. For lunch, we had a meeting at work and they brought in pizza and salad. I picked up one piece of the veggie pizza and a huge salad. I kinda picked at the pizza, ate a little less than half and then just ate the toppings. That was really hard as the crust is my favorite part. They also had really yummy looking desserts. I took a chocolate chip cookie/brownie combo thing. I took a tiny nibble and threw it away! Then for dinner, last minute a friend wanted to meet at a mexican restaurant. I ordered the grilled chicken breast and salad. I did end up eating some guacamole, cheese dip and chips. Afterwards, in typical "fatcat style", I figured I had already cheated so I would stop at Krispy Kreme or Andy's custard and just gorge myself. BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself. And I was still down .2. I am so excited to be back in the 180's and I am not going to blow it. This weekend I'll be out of town at a conference (leaving tonight) and it will be so hard. Wish me luck to still be in the 180's on Sunday!!!

R2P2D17: Weight 187.0. :<)

Yay! I am steadily going down! I am finally at the 30 pounds lost mark! Well, 30 pounds lost on hCG. I had lost 25 pounds on Herbalife prior to starting this, so I have lost 55 pounds total! I went from a tight size 20 to now wearing a size 14! I feel great! Yesterday I ate a chicken breast and brocolli for lunch. I was too full to eat my strawberries. Then for dinner my dh wanted cashew chicken. It smelled so good. I wanted to cheat and eat it, but instead I just ate one piece of chicken. Then, I had a lean ground beef patty smothered in spicy mustard and cucumbers, and an apple. And I'm down 2 pounds today! It was so worth NOT giving in to that cheat!!!

R2P2D16: Weight 189.0.

Yay! I am back in the 180's! And I fully intend to stay here for awhile...until I get to the 170's! Wow! Won't that feel good. Speaking of feeling good, I feel great today. My energy is up and I am not hungry, just feel great. Yesterday for lunch I ate some lean ground beef (taco style) wrapped in big lettuce leaves and strawberries. Then for dinner I had baked radishes and scallops. They were yummy!

Round 2 continues....

R2P2D15: Weight 190.4. Ugh! What is wrong with me? Everytime I get into the 180's I sabotage myself and end up right back here in the 190's. I was really good for lunch. I went to Panera and ate the Fuji Chicken Salad. My friend at work calls it the "Miracle" salad, as she loses every time she eats it. But then, for dinner I was heating up some tamales for the kids, and gave in. It was sooooo good! And worth it! I was done, but warming another one up for the kids and when I unwrapped it I saw waht looked like raisins. What the...??? Yes, it was a raisin. Turned out he bought some Pineapple tamales as well. Damn him!! So of course I had to taste it. It was so yummy I ate the whole thing! After looking them up online, it appears I ate 600 calories and 40 grams of fat worth of tamales- I am surprised I am only up a pound. I have got to get back on track. Sigh.
