OK.... It's catch up time! I've had a little trouble getting online for a couple of days, since I have been pretty much holding down the fort at work, and then yesterday, I caught up with my sister whom I haven't seen in a few weeks.
So here it is...... drum roll please.......
Today's weight 243.5 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down 2.5 from Thursday!
Stats: Starting Weight: 264 R1 D36 - Today's Weight 243.5 Total loss 20.5 lbs
Actually, I had weighed myself yesterday and was at 244... so yesterday was the official breakthrough on my stall. I was so happy!
So then, last night, my sister calls me and says, "I'm escaping....meet me at the sports keg." So I met her at the bar with all the intentions of drinking water, but when the waitress came over.... what do I order? wine of course! I ended up having 2 glasses with her and then my sweetie pie Tim got off work and came and picked me up so I wouldn't be driving home. So then we get home and I have two more glasses of wine with my hunny.
OH MY! I was REALLY baaaaaaaad last night. So after I am lit up, I'm thinking.... I need some food... I haven't eaten since lunch (chicken over bed of spinach with balsamic vinegar. and only coffee for breakfast) So then, I'm digging in the refrigerator and what pops up? the stew I made for Tim the other night.... It was pot roast chunks with onions, celery, potatoes and carrots and I'm thinking.......YUMMY! So I had a bowl of that (but no potatoes) I DID eat everything else though.
So this morning, when I get up... I am dreading the bathroom scale monster.... because I JUST KNOW I blew it, blew it, blew it.... BUT I was DOWN .5 --- Then I'm thinking.... oh this scale is messed up, so I weigh myself 3 more times and IT'S THE SAME! So I am REALLY a happy camper today!
Jenn... Thanks for stopping by sweetie. Thank GOD I finally broke through that stall. It was sooooo frustrating.
No, I haven't really been hungry, so I think the hcg is fine that way. I think I have about 5 or 6 more days on P2. I am going to go until I use up this supply.

OK here we go again
Got up this morning thinking.... Alright let's see some weight loss. (Did a protein day yesterday) So I'm all excited thinking maybe a pound? or two? BUT NOOOOOOOO! Same ol, same ol, 246.
So here I am 246 AGAIN. Starting weight 264; Today's weight 246 (Same as yesterday) Down 18 pounds - R1 D34 (I think) I will double check that. So let's see.... this has brought my average daily weightloss down to .529 lbs /day. Hmmmmf
Well if today doesn't fixit.... I don't know what will! I had a very busy day at work and it was 5:40 by the time I even got out of my office. Everyone was gone, I had a ton of work to do and my secretary called in sick today, so I was doing everyone's job. Anyway.... I had decided to do a VERY strict (no more wine for a while) Dr. S protocol today, since I have been stuck, stuck, stuck...and I only had coffee for breakfast, and I didn't even get out of my office for lunch. So I'm going to pick up my daughter from daycare, and I realize....man, I haven't eaten ALL DAY - at all!
So I'm making grace dinner and I'm poppin cherry tomatoes in like crazy.
So this is my food for today:
Cherry Tomatoes
Liz's Chicken chili (diced chicken and stewed tomatoes, chili seasoning, garlic seasoning and cayenne pepper.) It's really yummy!
Melba toast.
So then I am making a stew for my sugar britches, Tim who is working swing shift tonight, so he will be starved when he gets home, I ate a couple of bites of roast beef.
Total calories? 455 - but hardly perfect Dr. S Protocol! Arrrrrgh! ah well.... hopefully my semi day of starvation will push me over the edge and help me "release" (as Jenn says) a pound or two of this blubber from my poor little old body! LOL
Jenn - You are soooo encouraging to me! I AM going to get there! I really, really want this, so I will NOT give up! Thanks so much for being my cheer leader. You are my inspiration!

Protein Day
Well, I woke up this morning and am back at 246.... but I can't seem to get past that little up and down thing I have going on. So today is a protein day.... Let's see how that works. I will report more tomorrow.

All in all a good day!
This morning I woke up late and my daughter had to be at school early for auditions for the school play.... not a good day to be late. Consequently, I forgot to weigh myself.... but I weighed myself when I got home in the evening and things didn't seem too out of line... 247. So I'm thinking I will have a loss to report for tomorrow morning. I really tried to stay on strict protocol today. I had coffee for breakfast. Roast beef (lean) and tomatoes for lunch, and my very own "taco salad" Lean seasoned ground beef over lettuce for dinner. Probably too much beef though... so I tried to drink a lot of water and tea today to keep me "liquified."
So for some continuity.... R1 D31 - Starting Weight 264 - Today's weight 247 (but weighed in evening) yesterday's weight 246.5 - Gain .5 Total loss so far 17 lbs.
I hope for a good loss tomorrow. If not, I will do a protein day like Jenn recommended. I want to make my goal.... so I need to at least try my best! Also, I have a very busy day tomorrow, so I will bring my food/water and tea with me and keep on task.
To my commentors:
Jenn - Thanks so much for your encouragement. You are so right. This is not a race. So even if it takes me a year.... well I will be wearing a cute suit when I go to Mexico next winter! YAY! and that will be so cool.... Anyway... I have to remind myself that I am already 17 pounds down in 30 days.... I could have NEVER expected that from some other diet! I try to always keep THAT in perspective.... because I have truly tried them all! LOL
I think I WILL try a protein day tomorrow to get me jump started again. I really do want to see things moving on down again.
Becca - Thanks for the wise advice.... So true! In the end, I will be glad that I stuck it out! It is so nice to have people to talk with that offer the encouragement at all the right times. Next month I won't have as much travel time... (of course I will be on P3 by then LOL.... Ce' la Vi' ....but I am going with the thoughts that I will continue with "some" weight loss, if I stick to the No Starch No sugar rule and don't go hog wild before I start up again with round 2. If everything goes as I have planned (which of course, seldom ever does...LOL)... I will finish up this round on the 20th, go into P3 throughout the rest of March and April, and then start up on R2 the 1st of May (that will get me off everything for the 4th of July, which is a big party time for my clan.) Anyway... I am going to do my best to stick to that schedule.

NO Loss.... but No gain
Starting weight 264 Today's weight 246.5 -R1 D30 - Total Loss 17.5 lbs
This weekend I had to travel once again. I spent the weekend in Portland, OR for my son's cheer team competition. I have been finding these weekend trips very difficult. I was trying my best to eat legal foods, but it is so hard to tell how things are cooked, even if you give instructions.
I didn't have any loss this weekend.... But I didn't have any gain... just the same, same, same! A little frustrating because I have a internal goal of losing 28 lbs this round and only 10 more days on the HCG for this round. However, I don't have any history to go by.... this was just a number I picked out of the sky..... but I thought, at the time a doable number, based on what I have read..... Anyway, it doesn't look like I will reach this weightloss goal, by day 40. According to my average daily loss I can only expect to lose another 5.8 pounds, which would put me at roughly 23 lbs gone for this round.
Well.... I guess a 23 lb. loss is better than no loss right? But I will keep plugging away at it anyway.... and hopefully my next 10 days will be terrific!
