There have been a lot of statements and cliches made throughout the centuries, I think this one still holds quite true. Here I am again to document yet another round. The good news is that it will be a short round and P3 will begin on Thanksgiving day. The bad news is that I'm about 11 or 12 pounds over my last injection weight from my last round. I could list all the reasons and make tons of excuses but I'm not going to. The positive end is that I'm no where near where I was a few years ago and I'm always making strides to move forward. Therefore, I feel like I'm still being successful.

For the summer, I spent many mornings huffing the walking trail at the park down the street. I love that trail! Being outside and getting my endorphins going was wonderful. When it turned cold, however, I could no longer justify going out in 40 degree whether with no lights. It's a little too creepy and there were a plethora of unsavory characters nearby. Once this round ends, I will contain my workouts to the home front (Jane, Charlene, Susan do you hear me?)

For hubby's birthday this past summer, I purchased boudoir/couple shots. Now, why on earth did I do this? Didn't it occur to me that I would have to be in these pictures? Brilliant (hence, the short round). I will never be a skinny-Minny again but I certainly don't want to look back on these pictures and say, "Dear God! Look at the beached whale!" The hope is that I can trim down nicely for the pictures and maintain a bit longer than I did the last round. If I can achieve "maintenance nirvana" then, hooray! If not, then I won't beat myself up over it.

The round will begin tomorrow. In fact, tonight's homework is to re-read the protocol and mix up my

"brew" of HCG. I will be doing injections again (this seems to work the best for me) and I'll most likely shop for all the food prep on Friday. Then, while the family is out trick-or-treating, I'll prepare my meals for the week. I have to remember that I'll only be inconvenienced for one month (less than that, really) and the benefits will be worth it. 

I can't believe it! I really didn't think I'd get here and was content with my weight for yesterday, but I hit 166lbs even this morning. Amazing! Now, if I'll be there tomorrow, highly doubtful. Going from barely 500 to nearly triple the amount of calories will probably not lead to additional losses. The count is off to, because my protein style burger had grilled onions, no sauce, as well as no ketchup and mustard. There is no way to determine exactly what are/were the calculations for my dinner. The little treat of chocolate I had at lunch was sugar free, so my carbs are also off. Finally, we were out running a Girl Scout cookie booth for three hours in the windy cold, jumping around just to try and keep warm. That surely boosted my activity level and aided in burning some calories. I know it did, because I'm exhausted! I had some coffee mid-day, then a runny void nearly thirty minutes after. 

Tomorrow, my goal is to get up and do The Firm Parts: Upper Body. I want my arms to be "rock hard" or, at least, fairly close by the time Easter arrives. I'd like to mix this video in, along with a circuit training video, every other day for five days. Assuming my muscle memory is still good, my arms should be pretty nice by April 20th. Pray for me!

Again, the counts are off. I had a 1.8lb loss which I'm thrilled about, but am expecting a slight gain for tomorrow. Here it is:

We just keep getting more and more rainy days. I love them! The air is clean, there's no inversion and my hunch is that beautiful flowers will abound in April and May. Bring 'em on!

I've spent the last couple of days collecting on all of the Girl Scout cookies my youngest sold. I didn't think I'd collect so quickly, considering how sporadically firefighters work. I'm hopeful I'll have everyone's money by the end of the week. They all seem to be quite pleased and Girl Scout cookies have become a favorite for breakfast.

I've been dipping in the vodka again. Hubby keeps teasing me about it, but it's the only "sweet treat" that satisfies. Okay, true confessions: I'm still dipping into the sugar-free stash. Bad, bad! I'm sure my losses will be minimal to none again. I did, however, have a .8lb loss from yesterday, taking me down to 171.6lbs. I am not sure I'll meet my goal of 166 this round, but getting below my LIW from the last round is still promising.

Here's what I had today (pray for my resolve tomorrow! I have the lunch with the city official activity and I can't eat the mountains and mountains of pizza they'll have available. I'll have to take my hamburger patty and pickles with me and be contented with that. It's the only one I'll have to endure while on this round, since they happen at the first of each month. I'm a bit nervous but am hopeful that it all goes quickly and I can get out of there without too much temptation):

I have my final vial of Ovidac in the fridge to do my 7th and (hopefully) last round. This will be a 23 day go to getting to my wedding weight and staying there. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with how things have gone. I'm up a bit (Valentine's weekend) but only by five pounds. The last time I renewed rounds I had gained upwards of 25 pounds and was in desperate shape. I know I have found what works for me and I'm eager to just get these last few stragglers off my body.

The rereading of Pounds and Inches is taking place today. Tomorrow, I start my first injection and will continue through mid-March. I've informed my family, have begun my preparation (prayers included) and am hopeful for the outcome.

Of course, this venue will be my sounding board. I'll communicate what I'm up to, what's going on with my food and how I'm feeling overall. I learned the most about this process from my last round and will actively use that knowledge in this one. Hubby is eager for me to finish so that I can, again, get back to working out with him and making my health and well-being a family affair. When I go this route, it is very much about me and me alone. Granted, I do have my family's support, but they can't take the injections and they can't control what goes into my body.

My outlook is good and I'm feeling very positive. These are definite musts, otherwise disaster would surely strike. Tomorrow is President's day and our President's are leaders and doers. I'll take my cue from them and move forward and swiftly through this round. The daily plate will capture what I'm doing and I will post the information here (as I've done before). For whomever is still following, I hope whatever I share may help you in your efforts as well.

Onward and Upward! (BTW, my post title comes from the movie Twister. The scene where Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton's character discuss sending up the last Dorothy unit into an F5 tornado. I felt it fitting for, what I hope is to be, my final round).

GOALS:

1. To get back to my wedding weight (I was around 166 when I got married. This may seem high to some, but I was comfortable here). Let it be known that I'm pretty comfortable right now and am only seeking out a way to improve and maintain.

2. To be a solid "Medium" in my clothes. I'm no longer interested in being teeny tiny. I like my curves and enjoy looking like a woman. A medium works well for me.

3. To take my slimmer me on a trip to open water (the Virgin Islands would be fabulous! Anyone spot any hot deals, lately?)

4. To rid my lower back of some of the soreness I experience. This isn't necessarily due to the weight, but my lack of proper hydration. This diet forces you to drink water in all the right ways, which will be great for me.

5. To no longer micro-manage what I eat every day of my life. Some days are better than others, but I'm always watching. I'd like to get to a point where I can eat for "joyous nourishment".  In other words, eat to enjoy but only eat to 80% capacity.

Oh, yeah! I totally rocked round 6 and have only creeped up three pounds above my last, injection weight. Considering Thanksgiving, Christmas, my daughter's birthday and my birthday, I'd say that was a royal score on my part. My goal is to drop another 15 to 20 pounds with this final round and stay put. I'm thrilled to be a 10 or an 8 for the rest of my days. When I work out regularly, things are even better (I just have to make myself get back into the habit).

So, round seven will begin February 17th (round seven on the 17th... I'm kinda liking that. You know me and prime numbers. ;-) ). It's President's day! I'll start my two-day load and then begin my VLCDs again on February 19th. Hubby is on board (amazingly, since he totally despises when I do this), now I've just got to remind my children not to tempt me. Sometimes, they do that without thinking.

Ironically, I talked to my mother today and told her about my Easter dress (totally stunning):

My girls told me I looked beautiful in it. Beautiful. Not a word I hear too often. I took it as a major compliment. My mother says, "Will it fit if you keep losing weight?"How about that! She doesn't even know I'm doing another round and I'm surmising that I looked smaller to her when she last saw me (my youngest daughter's birthday). At any rate, if it is a little big on me, no worries. I'll have it sized if I need to. Beautiful won't be hanging up in the closet indefinitely.

So, I'll be more active on here as the new round begins. It will be short, just enough to get me down to my permanent weight. I'm eager, excited and ready to see what happens. Say a prayer for me!

I started eating a mostly protein diet again today. Hubby and I are trying to "cleanse" a bit before we really hit things hard (he with his training and I with my diet). My goodies should be here early next week. How about that for timing. I'll be starting my diet around the time of my birthday. Oh, well. I've already told my mother not to get me anything food related. I also said, "I'm not opposed to gift cards." Actually, I'm not opposed to just getting a greeting card. How about one of those that plays music, mom? I'd be happy with just that.

There's motivation coming from all directions. I saw the best bikini ever at Spencer's gifts; wonder woman in all her glory. It would take a lot of work to get into it but, holy cow! Super hot in all ways. I told hubby, since it's unlikely that my tummy will be completely flat, I could wear the top with red shorts. I could still rock it. Just hope I can find one when the time comes.

The other goal items are still very appealing (and much more realistic). It's going to be a hard road but oh, so worth it. Haven't reread the protocol yet (I've actually been pleasure reading a novel my best friend gave me for Christmas). My goal is to try and find the audio version I spotted once and listen to it during my non-call times.

Christmas is over and the new year approacheth. Of course, I made myself far too merry and indulged myself with lots of happiness and too much food. The happiness is always good, but the food always seems to go with it. Interestingly, 2011 wasn't the greatest year and I should be super lean because of it (I trend towards eating less when I'm depressed). The end of the year has brought big changes and the result? My expanded (expanding) waistline.

I haven't stepped on the scale in a couple of weeks, but I know things are not good. I knew I would be back on the wagon after the holidays and my goal is, as always, to try and make permanent changes that result in good maintenance. I will be on that road soon.

Interestingly, hubby asked, "Are you going to do another round?" I thought this interesting, since he gets very frustrated when I am on the protocol. He's very supportive, but always feels I eat so little. I have to remind him, "That it's part of the initial process and you know it doesn't last forever." I do well with the first two phases and even begin maintaining well (initially), but something seems to creep in and set me back. It's time to do a little "me" investigating again and hopefully squash whatever it is that creeps in. It's detrimental to all my progress.

I've been reading around again to all my saved blogs, vlogs and motivational sites. I also plan to re-read Pounds and Inches very soon (always do so before a round). I've still a few things to research since I've decided to try sub-lingual this time over injections. Although I have no problem with injections and have been successful with that route, I would rather keep going and not worry about skip days and immunity. The skip days always throw a wrench in planning. Let's just do it and get it over with, right?

Once my product arrives and the timing is in place (TOM is here right now so, I'm guessing shortly after my daughter's birthday and right before mine), I will begin Round Five. Two and Five are my lucky numbers. Gosh, I hope that proves true with my weight reduction. (Incidentally, I was in the 140s at the end of round two so, as always, I remain hopeful).

Goals are important and there's no time like the present to set up some wish list items (and as far as time, it happens to be about 6-ish in the morning on an off day...why am I up?):

-15lbs = a new game (time management games are my favorite and keep me from nibbling)


-25lbs = mani/pedi combo (a true treat! I get pedis regularly but full beauty would be nice)

-35lbs = new hair (I'm eying a really lovely unit that's pretty pricey)

-40lbs or more = a new designer cocktail dress for my work mixer this summer (perhaps not this one, but something just as sassy)


I'm gearing up and feeling pretty good about things to come.

What will be difficult is buying a pair of big girl jeans today. Hubby and I are going on our couples excursion and sweats are not an option. I've got a dress or two, but that's not practical in 20 degree weather. So, I'll breakdown and buy an inexpensive pair of size (heaven help me!) fourteen jeans today. What's really frightening is that I'm not sure those will be big enough. Ugh! If that's true, this will be the largest I've ever been while not pregnant.

It's not an easy process (it never is), but I'm up to the challenge and ready to dedicate myself full force. I know I will feel better, live better and look better with less weight. I will be more inclined to activity (right now, it's just very difficult). I'm also anxious to get back into my cute, little clothes from last year. I've held off from buying too many "big girl" clothes (aside from sweats) because I know I'll get back down. I am determined to be healthy again. So shall it be. Amen!

I've been scheming these past few days on a fourth round. The "sugar demon" (as I'm now calling it) has been ultra crafty. I'm fine, but then my carb-addiction raises its head. I have to limit them (carbs) much more than most people. I understand this, now. Regular eating for me is not regular eating for someone else. Clean is also huge for me, but difficult. I just love food and it's hard for me to say, "Stop." So, here's the plan:

Step A: Fourth Round - I will begin a fourth round on April 28th or 29th. I wanted to start Easter Sunday (April 25th), but my TOM is due then. That's going to make me look extra fabulous in my sleeveless Easter dress. Ugh! It would have been lovely to have Easter as a gorge day; however, maybe it's fitting that it doesn't happen then. After all, gluttony is a sin, right? Okay, I know this isn't really the same thing. The fourth round will be a short round. When I was in the 140s, I was way too small. I am an African-American woman with curves and my curves were all gone. I liked being small, but didn't like looking emaciated. For me? One hundred fifty-five pounds to one hundred sixty is fine for me. Again, what's right for me may not be right for everyone else.

Step B: Hubby's Support Plan -My family and I are due to go on vacation in mid to late June. This will place me in the early parts of my "regular eating" (P4), which is good timing. I want to be able to enjoy fun foods, but I will be working hard at not succumbing to my addiction (or bowing to the sugar-demon). I'm not unrealistic and know that a five pound gain is inevitable. I always gain five pounds on vacation no matter the circumstances. I've asked my hubby to put me on a plan directly after vacation. He is to have free reign with my eating but I have a major say in discussions with him about exercise, since my schedule is so irregular. This is to make sure I lose the vacation weight, but also put me on a path/good direction that I can handle long term.

Step C: Nan Kuru Nai Sah - "Live for today, but look forward to tomorrow". It's been my theme for the year (I don't do resolutions, but themes...feel free to ask about previous years. I love to share them!). With my hubby's help, I will find a "normalcy" that works for me, but allows me to have the ability to enjoy food without being afraid of it. What a little sugar can do for me is a lot of damage, but how to take those slip-ups and move on has proven difficult. I've got to get past it and understand that food is not my enemy. It is here to nourish and fuel my body. Changing my thinking is such a big part of this process. I know this and figured it out early with the protocol but somewhere, I've let those daily discussions with myself slide away. I will keep my posts current since writing about the struggles makes a big difference.

So, there it is in black and white. I'm looking forward to it and have already alerted my children to keep the tempations far away. They are very helpful and it's important that they be involved, too. Oh, and I'm going "Hard Core" again. The "rogue" stuff I pulled in round three was detrimental.

Round 3 begins tomorrow. Am I ready? Well, we shall see. I've purchased enough meat items and cabbage to last me a few days, once the VLCDs begin. I'll have to get used to cooking everything separately again but I've done it before, right?

The loading is fun, but difficult. The HCG makes it tough to eat and I have in mind how I'll load. After my visit with my best friend, I'm sort of sick of eating out (as is my wallet); however, I do need to say good bye to my favorites for the next month or so. Indian, Chinese and Greek are definitely on the menu (and the only items I didn't eat while the best friend was here).

I miss her already! We are still joined at the hip and never seem to run out of things to talk about. I love her dearly and despise that we are so far apart. She's an amazing support system that I need so much, but can't have on a regular basis (because there's no way I'm moving back to Nashville). So, we're resolved to alternating our visits each year. I will be there next October and when she sees my kids again, they will be 7 and 12 years old. That's crazy!

I'll weigh in the morning. I have a feeling I'll be at the weight I was when I started round 2, especially after all the crap we ate this weekend. Even though I can't work out, I have a goal to have that blasted new treadmill put together before my phase 3 begins. I gotta have my work outs ready to go, once I hit maintenance. The maintenance went very well, so long as I was working out regularly. As soon as I stopped (shortly after our return from vacation), the weight returned. I'm also resigned to a low-car lifestyle. I just don't do well with them. Even though I'm no where near the number of carbs I was ingesting before the protocol, I feel a difference mentally and physically.

Loading begins tomorrow. I'm thinking a scone with loads of honey butter and bacon for breakfast. I've been enjoying cappuccinos since the cold has come in and the new pumpkin spice flavor is lovely. I may have one of those, at some point. Chinese and Greek will round out the day and I know I'll probably be so full and uncomfortable. I don't look forward to that at all, but it is so necessary for the process.

So, the short round may not get me back into the 130's and I'm really not upset about it. Crazy, right? I was so all about being 135 but I felt good at 140-145. My hubby was also happy with that weight and I didn't look frail. So, if 145 is to be my ideal weight for me, then so be it. Here we go!

I have been posting my weight in the column, neglecting to put it here where it's save forever. Here are the weeks past:

January 3rd - 190.6

January 10th - 186.6

January 17th - 184.4

January 25h (birthday) - 183.6 (I did make goal and lost five pounds before my birthday. Sweet!)

As usual, I've gotten off to a good start. The meals aren't as vitamin rich as they should be, but I'm getting better. I've got to get back into the habit of updating the daily plate site. When the numbers are in front of me, I'm better able to maintain self control. Here are some immediate goals. I'm not going to post the old goals yet because I don't want to be too ambitious. After all, I am a woman approaching her middle thirties (for real?!).

I'd like to lose at least 5 pounds by my birthday (January 25th). Ten pounds by Valentine's day (then, I can look cute that day in something that fits). ;)

Can she do it? I think she can.

I'm so happy! Fifteen pounds gone (178.6), but boy it took a bit to get there. I will post the happy weight today, even though it's not Saturday, here in this post. I thought I'd reach the second goal a lot sooner than I did. Is it my age? Does it have to do with the activities I'm choosing for workouts? Yesterday, I turbo jammed my way into a major sweat. I was so sore last night, afterwards! Wow! Moving away from the elliptical turned out to be a good move. I hope to try out the P90X this week at some point. Not full force, but tweaked for me.

I'm using the supplement, minus the caffeine; however, I do drink a hot cup of green tea with it. I'm after the antioxidants and the more natural caffeine for aid. It does make a difference, I've discovered. Without the "boost" from the caffeine, I was feening and craving within an hour of two of taking the supplement.

Wearing my lashes today, too (they're much more subtle than the picture above). Not looking as glamorous as I'd like, because I only have a bit of blush on and lip gloss with them (they really pop if you wear liner and shadow underneath, but I didn't have time). I do know that I will get better at application, now that I'll be able to wear them more regularly. They are lovely.

No workout today, unfortunately...but I did get to hike up six flights of steps because of the stupid elevator. Nice. Anyway, tonight was back-to-school night, so I couldn't even squeeze one in. I was craving Greek food (can you tell). Way, salty but very good. TOM making an appearance soon, I think? [edit this diary entry]

Ate lots of salt yesterday. Bad, bad, bad! Worked out this morning on program four and burned 300 calories. It's lunch time, and before eating, burned 300 calories on program three. Trying to drink away the bloat. I'm missing the supplement! TOM will be pushing it's cravings on me next week. Cycling back onto the supplement, couldn't come at a better time.

I'll have to write off this day, since I had the "Bento box from hell". That was the best description they had, here at daily plate. I didn't have teriyaki chicken with mine, but I did have an additional 5 pieces of tempura and pot stickers.

Hubby BBQ'd tonight, so I'm done for. Did work out this evening and burned 300 calories. Also incorporated some arms weight training. [edit this diary entry]

I feel clean...inside and out. I'm still eating more fast food than I need to, but much better eating than before. I also lost a bit last week and am close to my 15 pound loss goal. I hope I come even closer once the supplement begins again next weekend. Again, I am not incorporating the caffeine this time. It was a nightmare to come off of. I don't know how coffee addicts do it!

Anyway, worked out on program 3 this morning, paying close attention to my breathing and making sure I oxygenated my body. Burned 300 calories. [edit this diary entry]
