Here We Go... Here We Go Again!!!

Ok, so this will be a really short post, but I am starting again. I started Weight Watchers two weeks ago, and I started tonight with exercise. Holly and I did a pinky swear that we are both cold turkey quiting soda!!! AGH!!! I'm nervous and excited. I will be making my plan and then I will be posting here. A lot has changed since my last post. Main thing that I am most happy about is that Shawn and I have a new son who is six months now. Blaine has been an amazing blessing and I honestly feel like we were blessed with him because of the hard work that I put in to get my body fit enough to carry another baby. My heart is full and I'm sure I will get more into all of this later, but for now I will continue with my run on sentences and my real feelings. Until tomorrow. Good night and as Mom would say after that... sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite, and if they do... pick up a shoe.... and knock them coo coo coo coo. :-) Oh and I plan to take my measurments tomorrow. This is going to be good!!!

I don't really know what I want to write about today, but I want to keep myself going, so lets see. Last week I did the elliptical 4 times. I was impressed with the way I was able to increase my time. This week I plan to do 20 minutes Monday through Thursday. Well, I didn't do Tuesday, so I think I'll end up having to throw in Saturday too. I did Monday on a 2 for resistance, so tonight I will try to bump it up a little more. We shall see if I can take the pressure.

did it

I did my 20 minutes last night. 20 more toinght.

haven't done much

Well, it has been quit some time since my last post. I haven't done much of anything... or so I thought. I haven't done much, but I have been able to sustain a decent loss. I am only about three pounds up from the last time I really hit it hard. It feels good to know that I have not lost a ton of ground. I am ready to get real again and work. The last three nights I have gone over to our gym and worked out on the elliptical machine. I started with 5 minutes, then 10 minutes and last night I did 17 minutes. I am going to do 20 minutes tonight. It isn't easy, but it does feel good.

170's

Well, this morning when I got on the scale I was 179.8. I have not been in the 170's since I was pregnant with Lexi. I am very happy.

Day 10

Well, I haven't been taking the time to blog about my journey the last few days. I was good and didn't cheat over the weekend. I don't want to write everything I ate right now. Maybe I will do that when I get home later. I did slip up last night. I ate a handful of pretzels and I had about a Tablespoon of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce. It put me up 2 oz. Thank goodness it was only 2 oz. It really didn't taste that good. I could have gone without it. I am determined not to cheat anymore. I really want to lose another 10 to 15 pounds by the 15th of July. I think my body has enough fat that it won't be a problem. All I have to do is stick with it. This is seriously hard! I did my measurements Sunday night and I was down inches everywhere. I'll have to post how many and where when I am home and can look at my paper. It was so good to see that inches had come off after a hard week of feeling hungry. One of the cool things about HCG is that it is actual fat that you lose. You don't lose muscle like you do on other diets. I have noticed I am a little more irritable. I have to really watch the clock so I don't wait too long to eat lunch... or dinner.

Day 5

Today I wish I could quit! No, not really, but kind of. I keep seeing all these yummy looking foods and I want some. I know I won't have some, but still it is a really hard day. Yesterday wasn't really great. I had canned chicken with celery for lunch and an orange. For dinner I had more of the canned chicken with cucumbers and strawberries. Oh and I had my Melba toast with each meal. This morning I was only down to 184.0. Still down, but when I was seeing bigger numbers everyday this morning kinda stunk. Anyway... it will be until Sunday before I can post again. We are going camping and I have all my food measured out and ready to go, so I won't cheat. I am determined to do this!!!

Kristina asked me to post something about the shots. They don't hurt. I was surprised. They release I think it was like 1500 calories of the stored fat. I'll have to double check the exact amount. That is the only reason I have energy. 500 calories of food is so tiny!!! This is very hard. Oh well, I'm sure in 15 more days I will be happy I did it and will look and feel much better.
