Starting wt 264 - LIW 240 Today's WT 241 - R1 VLCD 46
Well Today is my last VLCD for this round and I am going to make it count! :) I am still up the pound from the other day though -Uggghhhh! So hopefully it will be back down by tomorrow. Tomorrow should be a GREAT day! I am looking forward to REAL P3 foods! :)
I have a lot going on today, so I'v got to make this quick! But I want to wish all of you "HAPPY EASTER!"
Regina, I look forward to paddling in that boat with you! Thanks so much for the encouragement! It truly helps!
I don't think I will load on the next round ..... I dunno, my mind continually asks... Why do that when you can be headin on down from the get go? Maybe I will just eat what I want for those two days...but not necessarily over indulge. What's your take on that? I am also looking forward to starting the exercise on Monday.... I would be really happy if I could take off another 4 or 5 pounds by the time we start up again.

This Time I Cheated BIG Time!
Well.... I ended up haveing chocolate birthday cake with vanilla ice cream and walnuts and added a pound on the scale this morning!
So here it is R1 P3 D1 - LIW 240 Today's weight 241 +1
Plus I am STILL supposed to be on VLCD for a couple more days, and I am kind of HUNGRY.... I don't know if I'm really hungry, or if it's all in the head, or if it's a reaction to having sugar last night? But the birthday cake was REALLY good! LOL.
So I am trying to be good today, but kind of all ready blew it because I went to lunch with some girlfriends and had a steak salad, but forgot to tell the waitress to hold the blue cheese vinegarette dressing and instead of sending it back for a new one, I just ate it anyway.... SO.... my alotted 500 calories has probably already been sucked up by the dressing alone! YES, once more.... I am very Baaaaaaaaaaaaad! I could blame it on all the stress of the last few days, but we all know that pretending to be a victim doesn't serve any of us all that well. So I will just buck up and take responsibility and get back on the program.
So Monday I am planning on starting an exercise routine along with my P3. At least that way, I can work on toning up a bit and hopefully keep everything in check until I start on R2.
To my friends,
Lili, Becca
Thanks SOOOOO much for the support. It really helps a lot! I have had a really emotional few days and it is nice to have your encouragement. I know in my heart things will be fine. I just have to enjoy the time we have until he leaves, and look forward to the times when he will be back home to visit. Alex will be leaving the end of July so we still have a little bit of time before he is gone.

Last Day for R1 P2 - Whooo Hooo!
Hi Y'all - Today is my last day of hcg for this round!
Stats: Starting WT 264 - Yesterday's wt 241 - Today's wt 240. Total loss 24lbs.
I was hopin' to get into the 230's.... but NO GO. Oh well... can't complain about 24 pound loss! Never did that on Nutrisystem, or weight watchers, or Diet club, or the grapefruit diet, or (the list goes on and on! LOL)
I am ooking SOOOO forward to P3! I can't wait to be done with vlcd days! My goal is to lose a little additional weight during this phase and then start on R2 P2 around the first of May.
I have been keeping myself so busy the last few days... so sorry for the delay in posts. Alex is being sworn into the Army today. He won't go to bootcamp until July, but TODAY is the official swear in. I don't know why they have to do everything so fast.... I suppose they want to get you all tied up before you can change your mind. So, The day before his 18th birthday.... he is officially starting!
Regina, Thanks for the encouragement. It IS hard.... I'm still in Mommy phase of my life. (I have an 8 yr old girl) So this has been tough. I know he will be all right, and he IS going into a GREAT career field. It jst all seems so fast! I am eating deviled eggs on Sunday too! :) I can't wait! LOL

No Loss - No Gain
Stats: R1 D40 - Starting Weight 264 - Yesterday's weight 242 - Today's Weight 242 - No loss, no gain.
Hi Y'all,
I realized I didn't even post my yesterday's progress. I was such an emotional wreck.... I think I was just running on automatic. I had a small loss yesterday, but no loss today. Probably because I had corned beef and cabbage for dinner last night. Not exactly Dr. S protocol.... But what the hey, St Patrick's Day only comes once a year... and I must say, I AM an Irish girl!
So today I stuck with the program - Coffee for breakfast, stewed tomatoes and chicken for lunch, chicken and asparagus for dinner - an apple snack and NO WINE! LOL
So hopefully tomorrow will be a new day! I only have two more days of hgc and then it's P3. I am going to have to read up on that, as this is the first time I've been through this protocol. I know I need to keep to the vlcd for 72 hours once I am off the stuff!
Becca... Thank you so much for the kind words and support. That one was a lot to swallow for sure! I REALLY wasn't ready for that one.... and not ready to let go of my "little" boy (6'0 - 225lbs). I am pretty sure that once he goes, he's going for good. (I mean out of the nest wise.) So my heart is really hurting. I was expecting to let go a little more slowly.... you know, go to college...back home for breaks, etc.
The Army promised Alex a Communications Security Specialist job. He would be the guy that would keep the wireless communications systems secure. It sounds fairly technical and he would be classified for a Top Secret rating. He will also train as a "Ranger" which apparently is an elite squadron. They "say" that they will give him a $35,000 signing bonus and also he would qualify for up to $78,000 in college money through the GI bill, once he completes his first term (6 years). But who knows? The GI bill HAS disappeared in the past, so that may just be pie in the sky.
Anyway.... I appreciate your prayers! :)

An Interestingand Emotional Day
Wow, what a day! Today started off pretty normal. I took my hcg and then got ready for work. I had a cup of coffee, got my little girl off to the school bus, finished getting ready and then went to work. Had a busy morning. A lot to catch up on. My son calls me at about 11:00 am and says, "mom, I need you to sign a release form for me." I say,"what kind of release form?"
He says, "a medical release form." Then I say, "what for?" He says, "The Army!" I'm like.... WOW! He's really going to do this! (He had talked a little about it and had said he was thinking about it.... but told me he would discuss everything with me before he makes any kind of decision.)
Then he says, "Oh and mom.... I need you to talk with "Srgnt so and so. He's planning on coming to see you sometime this afternoon." Then I say, "Alex, have you signed anything?" He then gets very quiet and then says, "well....not OFFICIALLY.... but.... I'm going down on Thursday to complete the rest of the paperwork and get sworn in." (The day BEFORE his 18th birthday.) I'm like.... "Well Alex, what if I don't sign the release?" He says, "Well, I'll do it next week then. But the job I want is available today and it may not be available next week, AND they're offering me a $35,000 dollar signing bonus." I wasn't planning on letting go of my little boy today!
But what's a mom to do? I want to be supportive of my son....but WOW.... don't take him away the minute he turns 18! I REALLY wasn't ready for this AT ALL! It's hard to write this. I'm on an emotional roller coaster right now.
So.... I spent the afternoon talking with the army recruiter. Apparently, he's been talking with Alex for some time. Of course he told me all the things a parent wants to hear about their kid.... and then says, "Well, I have some paperwork I need you to sign." - Now I'm SICK! Then he says, "This is just routine. We like to have parental support behind our guys, but as you know.... Alex will be 18 by the end of the week." So now I am faces with the inevitable..... I signed the papers.

Hooray - Another .5 DOWN
Stats: Starting weight 264 - R1 D39 (I was off a couple of days on my reporting) Yesterday's weight 243.5 - Today's weight - 243.
I am SOOOOO happy the stall is over and now I can start headin on down again! I would really like to hit the 25 lb mark... that means 4 more pounds for my last 4 days of hcg. "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
I am going to do my very best to be very regimented for the next week. I have exactly 4 days of hcg left and then my 3 extra days of vlcd. My son turns 18 on Friday and, of course, we are having a BIG celebration. SOOOOOOOOO, I am open to any tips that will help me be good! LOL
Hope everyone has a GREAT ST PATRICK'S DAY! And don't forget to wear your GREEN!
