Sweet! Rockin' and Rollin'!
Celery (raw) has become my new found love. For some reason,I am just lovin' it. Crunchy and satisfying. Ok, I need to note that if you're out alot as I am, a Chick-fil-A grilled chicken breast and a large Diet Lemonade-2/3 Lemonade & 1/3 Unsweet Tea is like so great!Usually I'll bring a tupperware container of celery or sliced cukes in a little bag cooler so I won't be tempted to cheat.
Worked out with weights today and did 35 minutes cardio. Tried to drink alot of water. We'll see in the morning!

158.6 lbs.

Wahoo! Yes! Definitely big loss!
Was hungry today-probably will take a bit more hcg. Jumped on the trampoline and did good all the way until 9 pm when I was experimenting w/ a new Agave Nectar cookbook. So, I make my family brownies thinking I'll be able to resist them-didn't happen. I must go back to my rule of not baking until I'm off the VLCD. I am just getting ahead of myself wanting to experiment with all these phase 3 recipes but I am simply going to have to wait.

162.4 lbs.

Expecting a big loss tomorrow. Taught spin class tonight, lots of fluids, very strict on the diet. We'll see...

163 lbs.

Ok, don't even want to talk about how I feel about this number. The problem w/ going off the HCG even for a little bit, is that I find that I just crazy binge! NOT a good thing at all.

Modeled a bridal show in Athens, GA, this afternoon for the first time in years! It was nice putting on Casablanca size 8 wedding gowns but really want to be in those 6's again! Don't get me wrong, I am so THANKFUL for modeling in this show period! They have asked me to do another show at the end of February, so guess what? NEW goal! Definitely 150 (or even a bit under) by then! I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! Enough of this yo-yo stuff. Now it's just getting plain embarrassing...

UPDATE

Ok, Thursday's weigh in was at 158.6 lbs. Woo Hoo. Haven't blogged in a couple days b/c Greg and I had a planned romantic night away which involved some amazing food and I already planned to go off for this so we'll see what the damages are in the morning and I'll be back on again!
Oh, by the way, didn't even take the hcg while I was off these 2 days. Didn't want to waste it. I took some tonight to get it back in my system and of course, will take it again in the morning along with being back on the VLCD.

159.8 lbs.

Man, I'll be glad when that number is down to 150...

161.0 lbs.

Okay, now we're talking. I worked out today with weights and 40 minutes cardio. I think I'm going to back off a bit because I'm just torturing myself burning all those extra calories as it is just making me unnecessarily hungry. Jumping on trampoline from now on for 2o min. and some push ups and sit ups. Dr. Simeons in his manual is not a proponent of alot of heavy exercise.
I will go ahead and say I was so hungry today that I cheated tonight when I made my family fish tacos for dinner. When I began to make the refried beans, it was all she wrote. Down the drain as I began to vacuum the stove. Ok, I could really beat myself up for it but I'm just not gonna. I choose to forgive myself and move on-no matter what the scale says tomorrow, I CHOOSE a grateful, thankful heart! I have a wonderful hubby and 2 amazing children, a dog that acts like a person and an overweight, demanding cat. What more could I ask for? Praise God! Goodnight...
