R4 VLCD Day 1

Well, I only lost 1.6 lbs this morning but I had to remind myself that I am building muscle by taking these classes so I may be losing inches and toning but not see a huge difference on the scale anymore. Who knows. I think I will just stick to 3 week rounds since I lose the majority of the weight then anyways.

I am not going to zumba tonight as I can hardly move from zumba on tuesday and kickboxing last night! It hurts to go down the stairs and lets not even talk about how much it hurts to sit on the toilet!

Wonderful news! My mom woke up to a 5.8 lbs loss! I am very happy for her and I hope she will continue to do so well on it!

R4 VLCD Day 1t

Gained 1.8 lbs this morning. Yikes! Ate lunch already and have some bathroom issues already. Hopefully the scale goes down tomorrow! Last time i stalled.

My legs hurt so bad from zumba last night! Kickboxing is gonna kill tonight! Then im heading to eddies house to stelk his music for my ipod.

Happy releases!

Redo R4 Loading day 2

Ok, gained .6 this morning. I don't think I can eat anymore! I am eating Jimmy Johns right now. It's pretty good. I just got done working out too. Tomorrow starts VLCD day 1! So ready!

Redo R4 Loading day 1

I am not pleased with what the scale said this morning but oh well. I have been eating bad all weekend! Plus not working out so that just makes it all the worse.

I am going to my kickboxing class tonight at 6. I may head over early and do the elliptical for 30 minutes before hand. Sounds like a good idea. : ) I feel absolutely stuffed and hope I don't throw up! Lol. I am ready to do this round the right way!

Happy releases ladies!

My mom's bday

... and Erica's dad's birthday too!! Yay! So, I made a 3 tiered cake for my mom's bday. I only made one recipe per pan so they were all different sizes and tried different kinds of frosting so it cake wasn't very pretty but it tasted good. One layer was white cake, the other banana and the top was orange. For the wedding I will do chocolate cupcakes too! The banana cake was my favorite! I frosted it with swiss buttercream frosting so it tasted just like buttered banana bread! Yummy! So, I guess I am doing a five day loading... lol. Mom now wants to start loading on monday and tuesday cuz she and her bff are going to rockford bay and there is this dive bar they always go to that has amazing food (but moms teaching friend took us out to olive garden yesterday for moms birthday meal and cake today). So, we will be starting vlcd on wednesday but her teaching friend her and me are going to texas roadhouse tomorrow since that is the only night my work/exercise schedules will work out. All 3 of us are doing the diet together. Her teaching friend, Cari, does the pills. She has done one round. I am to be their drill sargent and motivational leader so I will have to be on my best behavior! Lol. It will be good for all of us. They are doing a compitition... first to lose 30 lbs owes for a mani/pedi day. I don't think I will lose that much anymore since I am getting closer to my goal weight I think my body will hold on to the fat more. : )

So, I am sure you will be hearing lots of our adventure over the next 6 weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend ladies and happy releases!

3am wake up for this girl!

Friday... Rain day.

Ok, so I have completely cut out the sugar (no snacking at work) and the cheese and I have lost 2 lbs since yesterday. Yay.

Big news! My mom is going to start HCG so I told her I would do it with her so she doesn't have to do it alone. We are going to load on Sunday and Monday and start VLCD on Tuesday. I am going to re-start my Round 4... if that is okay with you ladies. : ) I think I had such a bad time because I was trying to start it while I was taking care of my BFF's kids and hubby so I didn't get to load the way I wanted to and eating was hard because they wanted me to make them things that were delicious and I couldn't eat... I don't know how you mommys do it! It was just downhill from there for me. I think now that I am not in that situation I will be able to do better. I know my willpower is is back now. Working out is getting easier and I am loving the classes!

Gotta finish my mom's cakes today. She is home today so it wont be a surprise anymore but oh well.

Happy releases ladies!! Happy Friday!

Zumba class #2

OMG... it hurts to sneeze! Classes are fun but OUCHY! I know when I get used to them I won't hurt so bad. I can't wait until that day comes!

Saturday is my mom's 60th birthday. I am going to make a "mini" wedding cake for her birthday so we can check out the different flavors of cake... white, banana, and orange which my bro and his fiance want as the flavors of their cake. Is that a dumb idea? I dunno. I want her birthday to be special but I can't plan anything because I have no money and it sucks.

Manic Monday

Oh man! I went to my first kickboxing class and I am SO sore! I went and got some of the gloves for when you hit the bags and a new pair of workout shoes since the zumba lady didn't like my shape-ups for the classes. My new workout schedule is going to be Mondays and Wednesdays is kickboxing and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays is zumba. They are going to kick my ass into shape for sure! I am going to wait to weigh myself again until Saturday. I was craving some bad for me foods so I ate them so I could be done with my cravings and start focusing on eating correctly and working out like crazy!

Happy releases ladies!

Saturday morning... snowing!

Alright. Been trying to eat right but sometimes I slip up but I am continuing to go to the gym all the time. I did 50 minutes on the elliptical yesterday and 20 minutes on the bike. I did a few sets of the leg press the ab cruncher thingy and the bicep thingy. These are all technical terms I assure you. Lol. : ) I am about to go try my first zumba class. I went to Sandpoint last night with my friends whos wedding I was just a bridesmaid in... needless to say they fed me alcohol even though I wasn't planning on drinking last night I got pretty intoxicated. Lol. It was a blast though. It was definitely better than sitting at home like I had every Friday night before that since I have been back in Idaho.

Last time I weighed myself I was down .8 but it's been a few days. I don't think I should weigh myself every day. Perhaps I will do it once a week. I hope you ladies are having a wonderful weekend and happy releases to you both!

Sorry I havent been blogging recently but I have been super busy with work and trying to have a social life... went on a horrible first date on Thursday, it didn't even look like he showered that day and didnt even bother to shave his face. Not a good first impression. Yuck. I have another date later on this afternoon to go bowling. Fingers crossed this one goes better!

R4 VLCD Day 13

Well, I went out to eat yesterday with my brother, his fiance, her parents and my mom. We went to Mackenzie river pizza company and needless to say I gained 1 lbs this morning. Then work wants us to try all these sugar free muffins and cookies and bars. So, I am going to stop taking HCG for awhile. I feel too guilty and it's too expensive to waste it when I am not eating on protcol. I will still be eating healthy and going to the gym 6 days a week. I am going to give myself a chance to try to lose weight on my own for awhile. I have been thinking about doing it after this round but with everything going on I just need a break and I don't want to feel guilty anymore!

Good news is that Sweetwater says they can do my 2nd externship so I think I will stick with them since they will pay me and my new place wasnt going to. I am having a heck of a time trying to find a part time job at night and never knowing my schedule puts a damper on finding a job at night. I have enough for another month's bills but that is it.

I'm sorry to be a quitter, but I am not quitting on losing weight I just need a break from the HCG. I wanna prove to myself that I can do this on my own and really teach myself to change my lifestyle eating habits. I am really enjoying working out so I know I will stick with that!

R4 VLCD Day 12

Gained another .4 this morning so that should be the last of my Panda Express outting. I don't have that long left so I have to be good from here on out! (Self pep talk)

Well, I have to go get ready to meet up with my brother and his fiance and her family. Of course they now want to meet at Olive Garden since my mom is sick and they no longer want to meet here. I love OG's. This is my willpower test! Grr. Oh well.

R4 VLCD Day 11

So, I was bad last night and had Panda Express with a guy. Gained .4 this morning. I hope that is all but tomorrow will tell. I will be going to the gym today and will work extra hard to make up for it.

School is getting itself worked out so I don't have to fret over that anymore. Thankfully. Now I just have to find another externship site for my 2nd term. Sweetwater doesn't want to do it since they are slow and cant for sure give me hours. It sucks but what I am going to do. I can't force them. My friend Andy owns Pastry and More so I will go there today and talk to him. Fingers crossed I find something soon!

R4 VLCD Day 9

So, I had to get up at 1am this morning for work. I debated whether or not to even weigh myself but I did. Only a .2 loss but that is alright. Hopefully tomorrow's will be bigger since I have to get up at the same time.

I am having such a hard time with school right now. I have been emailing in my journals and timesheets each week before the deadline and now the portal is saying that I am missing a week so I have an F for a midterm. I am devastated. I have sent my chef a few emails asking her to contact me and she doesn't do it. I am so pissed off and I have already bawled my eyes out. I sent a kind of mean email to her saying that I don't deserve zero's. It is in my "sent" file of my email but I don't know how I can show that to her to prove that I sent them. I dunno what to do. I am so frustrated and ready to give up.

R4 VLCD Day 8

Lost another 1 lbs this morning putting me at 187.4 which I believe is the lowest I got last round so tomorrow will be new territory! Woohoo! Worked out after work. I have to get up at 1am in the morning to be to work at 2:30am in the morning to I have to start trying to sleep in the next 30 minutes... wonderful. Like I am going to be able to get some rest. Ugh!

Hope you all had a wonderful day!

R4 VLCD Day 7

Lost 2.4 lbs this morning! Woo hoo! Gonna be late for work if I don't leave now! Have a good day!

R4 VLCD Day 6

So, I thought weighing in so early and my frosting attack the other day I would have gained but I lost .2. Not much but I'll take it. I have decided to do a 3 week round. That is what I have left in the bottle I am using so that way I don't have to spend anymore money. And I dunno if I have the willpower to do 6 week rounds anymore.

R4 VLCD Day 5

I lost 1.8 lbs this morning! But I know its a lie cuz I was making a birthday cake for my BFF's son yesterday (as it was his 10th birthday... they are going to celebrate once she gets back home but I still wanted to make his day special) and I made the frosting and before I knew it the spatula was in my mouth and frosting was sliding down my throat! NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Oh well. What's done is done. I didn't let myself eat dinner as punishment and then I worked out at the gym. Curse myself!

R4 VLCD day 4

So, I lost another 1 lbs. Hopefully this will continue to happen. I woke up sick again this morning. I have a horrible sore throat and swollen glands. Grr.

My federal refund got put into my account today! Yay. I have alittle breathing room again. I need to find a night time job so I can make some money! I am going to buy an Ipod nano so I have music to listen to at the gym and plus it doubles as a pedometer! I thought that was way cool. Well have a great day! I have to bake a cake for my nephews birthday tonight. : ) Boo that I don't get to have any!

R4 VLCD Day 3

Well, I lost weight this morning. But not much. 1.6 lbs. The only reason I can think of is that TOM is coming for a visit. I hope that is the reason and that I haven't finally reached a set point. I don't think I am as strong as Erica and go more than 2 weeks without losing weight!

Mom and I went to the gym and rode the bike last night. I think I will go again tonight and do the elliptical. That one kicks my butt! Well, I gotta get my butt in gear and finish getting ready for work so I can take the girls to school.

Have a good day!

R4 VLCD Day 2

So I didnt lose anything this morning! Waaahhhh! Hopefully I lose a ton of weight tomorrow.

R4 VLCD Day 1!!!

Ok, So my start weight is 195.4. I forgot to weigh myself when I started loading so I don't know how I did but I ate alot of crap so I am sure I did just fine. The last time I weighed I was 191 something but I dunno how long ago that was. Lol. Oh well. I am totally ready to start this round! Woohoo! I am ready to watch that scale go downward!!! No cheating! Gonna be real good this round! I am ready to be done with this diet already. I am ready to be trim again. : ) Mom and I are going to eat dinner together tonight so she sees how I eat... which isn't much so I dunno what good its going to do but I know if she sees me eating good it will inspire her to do the same and feel guilty if she doesn't. She would like to do HCG but she already takes artificial hormones due to getting her girly parts taken out so she doesn't want to screw that up.

Well ladies, have a wonderful day!
