Phase 3 Day #21

I'm 1.2 from my LDW as of this morning.  Yay!!  I'm REALLY starting to look forward to Thanksgiving and loading again.  I'm so ready to see the scale start moving down again.  I'm anxious to be out from under the 200's.  Although I doubt I'll be there by the time my 3 week round is over.  I can promise you this though......I will weigh less than 200 by the time January is over.  I'm giddy just thinking about it. 

Phase 3 Day #20

I got on the scale today after a day of drinking almost zero water and eating too much salt.  To my great suprise I'm still within my 2 lb LDW.  Today I'm going to really up the water......I feel so thirsty it's weird! 

I'm feeling really depressed today.  All I can say is it's a damn good thing my husband is out of town till Friday.  Normally I'd let my feelings dictate how I chose to eat.....not today.  I'm not going to sabotage my diet just because I'm angry with my spouse.  I deserve to be healthy, I deserve to be happy. 

Phase 3 FINALLY BELOW LDW!!

I've been having a super fun time w/ Mia here.  I have to admit I haven 't been eating phase 3 friendly foods the last few days at all.  Not to say I'm going hog wild and eating lots of crap.....more like I'm eating what I want in moderation.  I can't seem to eat much at all before I feel SUPER full.  As of this morning I was .6 lbs BELOW my LDW.  YAY!!  I am so glad my metabolism is working like it's supposed to.  Thank  you Jesus, for bringing HCG into my life.

Phase 3 Hot Diggety Dog

Yesterday I was over LDW by 3 lbs.  Today I'm over LDW by only 1 lb, yahoo!  Hurray for TOM leaving!!! 

I picked up Mia from the airport yesterday and we spent the day catching up on old times and such.  Today we're going to go get our nails done, pedicures, eyebrows waxed and lots of other girly stuff.  Then we're off for a night out on the town. 

Hope you all have huge losses today.  =)

TOM + NOT ENOUGH WATER + TOO MUCH SALT = BAD THINGS

YAWN!!  Soooo sleepy today!  Last night we stayed up and watched The Road.  It was kind of a creepy movie and I had a hard time falling alseep.  Then I woke up super early to the sounds of my kids crying because my husband forgot to put the dog back in our bedroom before he left for work.  Apparently the pup was licking and chewing on them trying to play.  ugh

So I went to bed at about midnight and woke up at 5am.  Joy of joys. 

Yesterday was a busy day.  I had conferences for both boys and I had a bunch of errands I had to run.  Since I was away from home so much and I forgot to bring my water bottle I ended up drinking only about 1 liter of water instead of my usual 3-4 liters.  Then at dinner I ate some fairly salty foods......so I think the extra salt, the small amount of water and TOM caused to be at 3lbs above my LDW as of this morning.  Dang.  Today I will make sure I get a gallon in and I'll really be careful with the foods I eat.  Hopefully TOM leaves soon and I'll be able to get back in my little safety bubble. 

Today I go pick Mia up at the airport, yay!!! 

What did you expect??

So I just have to vent for a second.  There is a gal I'm friends with on facebook and she tried the hcg diet after seeing myself and a few other's have great success.  So she runs out and gets a bottle of the drops and starts the diet.  She doesn't research it, she doesn't know what food is and isn't allowed, she doesn't weight her food, she doesn't make sure she's staying within 500 calories etc etc etc.  Then she starts to complain that this diet just doesn't work and that she had horrible headaches during the diet.  SERIOUSLY?!?!  IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THIS DIET THE WAY DR. SIMEONS WROTE IT, IT WILL NOT WORK.   I'm SO frustrated when people don't take the time to research anything and then complain when other's aren't interested in spoon feeding them the answers.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE helping other's out with the information I've learned thus far.  What I hate is when people put zero effort into something and expect other's to carry their lazy butts.  Anyway.  I'm done ranting.  lol

I lost 1 lb this morning, so I'm definitely back in my LDW range.  YAY!  TOM is about to leave, good riddence!  I wish that when a woman was 100% done having kids that she could flip a switch to make TOM go away forever.  lol  Hurry up menopause, hurry up!  LOLOL

Phase 3 TOM BLOWS

Gained 1.2 lbs today.  Dang it!  I've been researching weight gain and TOM for phase 3 and from what I can find they say do not count TOM weight gain.  So even if you go over your 2 lb "bubble" to not do a steak day.  Keep the fluids up, keep eating phase 3 foods and when TOM is over the excess weight will go away.  I hope that's true as I'm 2.2 lbs above LDW today.  sigh
