Lo and Behold....

This phase 3 really sucks. I mean it's summer with BBQ's and ice cream. Kids are home all day long with their food needs and brownie treats. Lately the household (and my) treat has been peanut butter M&M's, not quite so healthy. I have been grateful that my weight has not really fluctuated that much over the past 5 weeks. It makes me wonder if the whole thing about HCG "resetting" your metabolism might be kind of true. These is only so much I believe about a diet and this was something I did not really believe in. Anyhow, I got on the scale yesterday and lo and behold...249! I have actually got under 250 something that I was never able to do in phase 2. I am actually a bit excited to start phase 2 again next week. I hope that again I can lose another 25-30 lbs.

So it's been a while.....

Well I haven't been weighing myself everyday like I am supposed to, about every three days or so and for the most part I have been at 253 which I am perfectly happy with. Of course when I went to the doctor I was about 5 lbs more than my home scale. I like when I went to the hospital for my endometrial ablation, there when I was weighed it was in kilograms and I weighed only 117, I like that. It's like British stones, I weigh 17 stone, that is awesome here in the US when no one knows what that means (a stone= 14 lbs).

Anyhow, today when I weighed myself I was back to my all time low, 250. It might only last for a day but I am totally happy with that! Especially when my husband says to me yesterday, "so you quit your stupid diet now?" Nice support.....

I have noticed that when crap is around the house I will eat it. I make a point of not buying it so it is not in the house. If there were M&M's here, I would eat them. Same with Teddy Grahams, Love those but I would eat the whole box. I do buy sugar free Popsicles and Quaker Rice snacks for "healthier treats".

Day 50, 256 arughhhh!

Oh I HATE this next portion of this diet. This is SO hard. I am supposed to be eating like an Atkins diet which means basically no carbs. Well, I had a mini holiday with my sisters during which I ate half a bag of animal crackers, Pizza Hut pan pizza, a Blommin'Onion & ribs from Outback.

I then went to a family party during which I ate a sandwich and yes, about 4 chocolate chip cookies. THEN I basically had a breakdown yesterday and ate eggs & hash browns, a million dumps (chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies) then to top it all off a Fat Boy ice cream. I have been having my period & got sunburned so I am hoping my weight was high because of that as I was +9 (arughhhhh) today I weighed myself and was at 256 so I was down again but still +6 from my lowest, although I only ever weighed 250 for one day. I have stayed around 252/253 for a long while, until now of course.

Well today is another day and yes, I do plan on staying away from treats for sure as those are almost always my downfall.

I can't wait to get back on the HCG, real or psychological it totally helps!
