Is this working?

I think so, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I weighed in at 188.8 this morning, after my workout. I was on the elliptical for thirty minutes and burned 418 calories. I then performed three sets of 15 bicep curls and tricep kick-backs just after the cardio (3lb weights). Can't hurt, right? The calorie count is way down (good) and the energy level is way up (good, too).

I'm thinking of adding Chromium to my homemade concoction to alleviate the cravings. Despite appetite control, I still want to kill this sugar tooth once and for all. Part of it, I know, is TOM ready to take over. I don't know if Chromium can fight with that, but it's worth a shot. Here are my stats from Saturday and Sunday:

June 28th, 2009 (Sunday)

Calorie goal: 1,355; calories consumed: 1,380; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 1,380

Mood: Motivated

Gave into my cravings. What gives? Not much appetite, but still craving stuff. TOM is on the way/weigh for sure. Didn't work out (it's Sunday), but I did weigh in at 189.4 and am hopeful. I know weighing everyday isn't wise, but I just can't help myself! [edit this diary entry]

Calorie goal: 1,376; calories consumed: 1,479; calories burned: 0
Net calories: 1,479

Mood: Hyper

On a new homemade supplement that I took at 7:15am and 11:40am. I will move the second dose to around 1:00pm or 2:00pm, tomorrow since I'm feeling the effects of the second dose wearing off right now(it's about 6:00pm). I haven't had much to eat, so I know it's working. I will have to make sure to meet my minimums, though.

Hubby wants steak for dinner (broiling now), but I'm craving Chinese. TOM is on it's way.

It should be noted that I put back on every pound I lost before the vacation. This is why I'm on the supplement and why I hope I'll never hit today's weight again. Monstrous! [edit this diary entry]
