Okay, so Sunday I forgot to blog. I was so excited to get in the 150's...too excited. I thought, Sundays are always so difficult to stay on, I'll just make Sundays my "cheat day." FORGET IT! Look at my gain this morning! 4 POUNDS!!!! What the huckleberry?! Have totally learned my lesson from that. I have a bridal show to model in at the end of the month and it is just not worth it!!!
Refocused!

160.2 lbs.
Yippee! Really had a moment where I wanted to eat Mexican my hubby made but I made me some HCG hot chocolat, had my Hebrew National hot dog and kept going. Praise God!

164.6 lbs.
Yuck! 4 fried pickles(w/ranch sauce) sooo not worth it! Had a few mad moments today just being sick of being on this diet. However, it's my yo yo dieting that has caused me to be on it this long so I MUST stick with it to get these final pounds off so I can be free from HCG! Although, don't get me wrong, I have been extremely grateful for it, I just don't want to be on it eternally!

164.0 lbs.
Wahoo! Not bad at all! So, great time to say that YES, the hot chocolate does work! It's Wonderslim Wondercocoa. For those of you that have the online cookbook, she mentions it in there. You can buy it on Carbsmart.com or just google it. It has no fat and no sugar, no artificial junk, all natural and so good! I follow the directions on the can for making hot chocolate but use mostly water and some of my Land O Lakes Fat Free creamer and my NuNaturals, non bitter stevia powder. Man! Best hot chocolate and you totally cannot even tell you are drinking sugar free!
Okay, on the way to pick up River from preschool today, Zaxby's had out on their sign to try their new fried pickles. I cannot tell you the weakness I have for GOOD fried pickles. I wish I could tell you I gave in to my first dose of strength and just rode that wave and went home but I didn't. Got a side order, ate 4 and saved the rest for my hubby. Actually, I am happy I only ate 4. Hesitant what the scale will say in the morning but I only have myself to blame. I really am focused this time-dang it!I just didn't need to give in like that. Also have found a great carbonated water called Crystal Clear in all kinds of flavors. Wally world has it or Publix, etc. Really yummy. I am drinking Strawbery right now. Okay, finishing cleaning out my closet. My hubby was in there cleaning today too and he said he was praying for me and that I was supposed to throw out everything over a size 6. To "make no provision for the flesh" as the Word says, because I was not going to go back to any of the bigger sizes again. Praise the Lord! I totally receive and possess this Word from this time now and forever! So, gotta go and finish my new closet. Yippee!

Moment of Truth: 165.4 lbs.
Sooo, I am not excited about this number at all but I choose to look ahead! It is January and the fact that I will be at my goal WELL before summer (bikini) weather gets here, makes me ecstatic! So, as I said, looking ahead.
Must admit today was really difficult because I have gotten use to cheating. Sad to admit that but I believe blogging again is also gonna help keep me on track. Taught my spin class yesterday and did my weight routine. Cleaned house today but feel like I'm retaining water...hmmm, we'll see in the morning. Had my version of hot chocolate w/ Wondercocoa, water, a bit of FF Land O Lakes creamer and the non bitter Stevia. Suppose to be HCG safe but again, we'll see in the morning. If a decent loss occurs, this hot cocoa is simply a must have for all you chocolate lovers. Before we get too excited, let's see what the scale dictates. Good night!

BACK ON THE HCG BANDWAGON: MY FINAL RIDE!
Okay, so I've been on and off HCG over the Holidays. Still have seen good results when I've been off but judging by how easily I have been falling into food temptation, it's definitely time to start back hard core. I was on for the past three days, kinda as a partial fast for the first 21 days of January, but completely cheated Sunday and Monday (today). My hubby asked me if there was anything "HCG" I could eat at Mirko's (an amazing homeade pasta place here in Athens) and that's all it took-BOOM-fell right off. I have found in this semi-weak state, to completely stay away from eating out for a while. I believe it is a smart person who knows their weaknesses along the path to making them their strengths.
So, here I am. Will weigh tomorrow and post the results then. I don't have a specific number weightwise I want to be at although around 147 would be nice. We will see how I look at that point. Being 5'10", believe it or not, I can look too skinny in the low 140's. This is where I was when I did the Miss GA pageant and because I had too little body fat on me, I had a period for 6 weeks! Yuck!
I will say, and my friend, Bonnie Shores agrees, when you see some really great results, it seems the hardest part is staying focused to lose those last 10 or 15 pounds and honestly, you just get sick of being on HCG! However, if any of you reading this are at that place, I say, take a few days off, eat some things you have been craving so badly, have your "last supper" if you will with the bad stuff, get back on for one final round and just complete your weight loss goals. I found doing this made me actually look forward to getting back on because I was so sick of seeing the scale fluctuate so much due to my inconsistencies. My thoughts were, "No food is this good! No food is worth being just shy of my goal!" Plus, I was so stinkin' bent on having a stupid mint ice cream blizzard from DQ tonight before my final round beginning tomorrow, that after I had it, I thought how silly of me to be so fixed on having something so temporal. It made me want to uproot any lack of self control that got me in this predicament a long time ago!
So, here I am. Wanting the Spirit fruit of self control to really develop lusciously and fully on the branches of my life! No regression anymore, only PROgression!
I am making around147 lbs. my goal but for now, I KNOW I want to be completely out of the 160's and no where near it again! So, that's my short term goal. I'll think about the long term stuff later. January is a good month to just go cold turkey and completely shed these final pounds because everyone is settling down from the holidays, not much planned in the way of travel this month, which by the way for me, makes HCG extremely tough to stay on while I'm on the road. So, let's just get 'er DOOONE, shall we??!!
