I lost .6 lbs yesterday. I can't feel too bad about it, I totally cheated. I had a whole bag of caramel chex mix and then a Jamba Juice. I got some stressful news about work and it was my birthday. Today I am on track though. I AM going to do this.
Although what I was thinking to start something over the 4th of July I'll never know!!!
Today I had my lemon water, an apple, 4 egg whites and 1 egg yolk. I'm about to have Crusty Italian Chicken and Marinara Sauce for lunch.

Day 3 (June 29)
Found out yesterday that Cami Oborn, a lady in our ward, was killed Monday in a rafting accident. I didn't know her well, but I was in a Sunday School class with her and she was a very nice person. I am in shock that something like this has happened. It seems weird that life has to go on and it can't just stand still for a few minutes.
Today is my first day at 500 calories. For breakfast I am having hot water with lemon, then an apple and green tea. I measured myself this morning. UGH
***So today I think I did pretty well with my food, of course I'm not drinking enough water.
I had an apple for breakfast, then 2 egg whites and 1 egg with tomato slices for a snack. For lunch I had cucumber slices and cinnamon toast. For dinner I had chicken and asparagus. I also had an orange for a snack, and 2 cups of green tea.
I did pretty good not thinking about food until around noon. Then it's all I could think about. I think it will take a couple of days to start losing any weight, but I am determined!

Day 2
Today is my second day of fat loading and I FEEL SICK!!! I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, cinnamon bears, I TRIED to drink 2 cokes but I don't think I even finished 8 ounces, 10 roasted marshmallows and half a Cafe Rio Steak salad. What a wasted day for food-I didn't feel like eating. Very upsetting.
Today I weighed in at 190-I hate this. And what was I thinking, doing this just days before my birthday. Ah well-I'm ready to lose this weight (again) and keep it off. I've heard that means I have to exercise. Yuck.

June 27 2011 (Day 1)
I'm starting HCG again today, along with my mother. I have gained back everything but 10 lbs. from last years weight loss. I am committed to doing this again this year. Kelly has been on the 17 day diet and lost about 14 lbs and he looks fabulous!
We are now out of debt and struggling to build up our emergency fund. Between soccer and trying to get our backyard in, it's not getting built as fast as I would like, or Kelly would like. Hopefully soon (after soccer tournament fees) we can start building it faster.
Starting Weight: 189 (I haven't done measurements yet)
I had a donut and hot water w/lemon this morning. I'm about to have another donut. It's a fat loading day.
**End of the day and here is what I had to eat today: 3 donuts, Olive Garden dinner (Ziti, salad, 3 breadsticks and dessert) and a little pasta for lunch, green tea and a little water. I feel like I'm going to puke. UGH

July 15th Day 4
I gained .2 lbs yesterday-not off to a great start, but what do I expect? I always forget how hard this really is. I have a goal of 10 more lbs-I know I can do it!
My dad was diagnosed with sugar diabetes yesterday-still learning what this is and if it's preventable......I know it's hereditary.

July 13th 2010
Here I am again. I find this is easier than writing in a journal every day.
I have gained back 7 lbs in the last month because I stopped watching what I was eating (as carefully) and didn't start my exercise plan. Who has time to exercise with such busy lives? I feel guilty taking time out of my day to exercise.
My starting weight this time around is 168.
My measurements are:
Chest: 41"
Stomach: 43"
Butt: 41.5"
Austin is in Oregon this week at an ODP Soccer Camp. As a mom I'm pretty worried about him, but I think he's having a blast. The kids are out for summer and that's been a little stressful-none of them have anyone to play with. Hopefully we can change that.
We are getting Breanna into a dance class at the community college and the rest of the kids are playing soccer.

June 2
Today I was back to 161....this up and down thing is so hard mentally for me. I have 1 more week of maintenance and then I'll be joining Weight Watchers to lose these last 15 lbs.
Kelly is out of town again but back tomorrow night-yeah! This weekend is so busy....soccer and baseball Friday night....2 soccer games Saturday and Soccer Monday morning.
Matthew had soccer tryouts tonight and he felt really good about them. The "A" team coach also said he did really well-especially for taking a year off.
Total weight loss since January: 38 lbs...

May 28
So I'm in the maintenance phase now and not doing very well.....I have gained 3 lbs so I guess today is a steak day!
Kelly, Austin and Matthew are leaving for Portland today...Austin has an ODP tournament there. They will come back late Memorial Night and then Kelly will fly out on Tuesday afternoon. And the kids are out of school next Friday June 4th-I can't decide if I'm excited about that or not.
We finally found a budget form that is working for us-it balanced to our checking account which was AWESOME!!!!

Day 26
THe last few days have been pretty rough......I gained on day 23 and stayed the same through Day 25. Today I lost 2 lbs, which puts me at 161.2
I am done with the drops and now I'm on my first day of 500 calories w/out the drops. By this weekend I'll be on the maintenance phase and then I'll join Weight Watchers. This journey is not over! However.....my blog might be. We'll have to see.

Day 21
Wow.....I should be almost done with this but I have enough drops to go a little longer and maybe lose these last 5-6 lbs. If I can lose 6 more pounds I can say I lost 40 lbs!!!! I only have 5 more to go to get to my goal weight, with this diet. I am going to join Weight Watchers in a week or so to maintain.
Kelly is home, thank heavens. The family always misses him when he's gone.
I'm down to 165!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Day 20
Day 20.........and still sitting at 166 lbs......I did an apple day the other day and didn't lose anything.....I just keep bouncing around these 2 lbs...I should be stopping in a few days but I REALLY want to lose these last 6 lbs......if I lose 7 lbs. I can say I have lost 40 lbs though.... I might just go until I run out of the drops and then be done for a few months....like until fall or something.
Kelly has been out of town for the last couple of days...but it's been going well. Usually I am really short on patience when I'm on this but the kids have been awesome. Breanna went to school this morning so she could go to the zoo...I can't wait until she is in first grade! My mornings are so peaceful! Although I really do miss her when she isn't here. She has such a great smile!

Day 15
Today is May 9th, and I'm on my 2.5 round of this diet.....so I guess I'm on my third attempt. I need to lose 8.8 more lbs in the next 2 weeks and I feel very successful. I don't plan on doing this again, until maybe fall or winter. I would like to get in the habit of, if not exercising on a daily basis, then getting outside with my kids and walking, playing soccer or riding bikes. Overall I only have 28 more pounds to go before I reach a healthy weight.....not my ideal weight...but a healthy weight.
It was brought to my attention that in my last post I put I had lost 133.....which was obviously a type......I had lost 33 lbs. I'm sad to say that over the last 2 days I have actually gained 2 lbs, so now I'm down to a loss of 31. That's OK though.....like everything elese I will just keep trying.
Today is Mother's Day and I got the sweetest gifts from my girls. Breanna made me a cookbook in Kindergarten and Rachel made me a cute card, with flowers, and "spotlight" paper for me. It truly brought tears to my eyes. Kelly got me 2 exercise type shirts and vests. I was a little nervous because they were smaller than I am used to buying, let alone even looking at. I was just going to exchange them for an XL, but he made me try them on. The vest will fit (fully zipped up) when I lose about 4 more lbs (and a little more in the chest area) but fits OK over a shirt, and the other shirt fits a little too snug for my taste, but according to Kelly looks really good. So again, just a few more pounds. I also wore a dress today to church that I don't think I've worn in about 10 years. I think I bought it when E'Shell got married, but I can't remember for sure.
Mother's Day is always so hard at church. You get to listen to priesthood holders talk about women, and usually about their own wives and how awesome they are. I know that no one is perfect, but hearing about all the things other mom's do, or can accomplish in a day, is sometimes daunting.
I am teaching the CTR 7 class next week and terrified. I have never taught a class before. Hopefully I won't scar the kids!!!
The first time I did this diet I was more successful and I think it's because I was keeping this blog every day. I didn't really think anyone was reading it, so I don't worry about it so much. I found out yesterday that 2 people (who I thought were unlikely to read it) are reading it and that gives me a little more incentive to be successful.
Today I weighed in at 168.8......which is still really phenomenal and I should be proud of myself. I'm not.....but I'll work on it. I was down to 166 the other day and my goal in 12 days is to be down to 160. Go ME!!!!!!

Day 13
I'm on Day 13 of my third and final round of my HCG diet. I have lost a total of 133 lbs since January. I am at 166.8 and loving it. I'm not really sure where it's coming from, since my measurements aren't changing, but I'm only measuring 4 areas, mainly around my stomach, butt and chest area. I'm probably losing it in my chin.
We had my grandmother's funeral. This is the hardest round I've done, but I only have 2 more weeks. I would like to lost 6 more lbs and then I think I'll join Weight Watchers and start exercising and eating right. My ideal weight is 140-145. Cross fingers!

Day 20
It's been a rough couple of days. I gained 2 lbs on Day 18 (first day of soccer games and I didn't plan very well). I'm in my 2nd to last day of the 500 calorie diet. I'm so looking forward to going to Vegas! Since January I have lost 29 lbs-I now weigh 170.6
If I can lose 1 more pound today I will have reached 1 goal. I am going to do this 1 more time with Brooke, before the kids are out of school. I know I can be successful at this and lose another 20 lbs.....having the kids home really threw off my routine. I sure didn't plan that very well!
I had Kelly do my measurements again-he did them on Day 10 and Day 18-I lost .5 in from my butt and 1 in off the fatty part of my stomach. I'm thinking of getting my belly button pierced again.......now I'm going to start walking and working on getting my stomach firmed up so I can do my belly button again.

Day 17
Well, on my second round and I weigh 171.6-YEAH!! This is awesome. Tomorrow will be my last day on the drops....I'm going to Vegas next weekend and it'll be easier to be on maintenance than 500 calories. I feel great-I LOVE THIS!!!
Friday, April 9, 2010
Day 16
I am at 172.6-I am so excited!!!! I am feeling great-especially since none of my clothes fit! (I've been told they didn't fit to start with, but who cares?)
I am also going to Vegas next weekend with a friend. I am ready for a bit of a break!

Day 14
I made it!!!!!! I lost 20 lbs-I'm now at 174.8-HOORAY!!!! I will be going and buying Dance Dance Revolution today and maybe some new underclothes to celebrate. This has totally given me the boost I needed. This last 2 weeks has been really hard to stick and I've only lost 3 lbs so far. I will do better from here on out!!!

Day 9
This time around is definitely more frustrating. While I am at 175.8 (a weight I haven't seen in a long time) I only lost .2 lbs yesterday. It could have something to do with not eating anything but an apple all day, then we went to Ihop for Rachel's birthday and I got a dinner-it was under 510 calories, but it was full of stuff I shouldn't have, and I didn't get my drops once either.
Oh well....today's another day!
