Starting again, and a site change :)

Hello everyone.

My last round fizzled out because I wasn't following protocol, so I ended it, didn't want to waste HCG when I wasn't doing things right. :(

I have time to do one last round before we leave for our vacation in Sept so I'm going to get everything ready and get going on it. And its going to be a perfect round, no deviations, I want a repeat of my 1st round where I lost 20lbs!!

The way I did it the first time was to pre cook chicken and fish in the proper portion sizes and just a few out at a time to thaw and then heat them to eat each day. That way I always knew what I could have and didn't have to fuss with prep as much. I also portioned out my veggies (broccolli, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber) and put it into ziplock bags so I just had to pull those out and eat as well, except for the broccolli which I steamed first.

Then the fruit was easy, no need to pre portion for those at all.
I think thats why I did so well my first round, I made it so easy to just grab what I needed each day and I didn't have an excuse since it was all ready for me.

So thats the plan. I'm going to head to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up the fruits and veggies I need, and some fish. I already have the chicken I need.

I can do this! I can lose some more before our trip. I'd like to lose between 15-20 lbs before we leave. That give me a little over a month to do it! Here we go!


***Oh, and I'm moving my HCG blog over to wordpress since I find that a bit easier/nicer to use, here is the link for that: http://crystalshcgjourney.wordpress.com/ its empty right now, but I will start posting to it tomorrow (wednesday).***

Monday 22nd,

I ended up having a couple cookies on the weekend while we were away, I guess thats what did it?
Either that or I wasn't drinking enough water....

I'll be loading up on water today to try to flush out that fat, lol.

Wasn't able to record today or yesterdays weight because I was too busy getting ready to leave for our assembly this weekend (we drive 45 mins there each morning).

So I'm hoping that the scale is agreable with me in the morning :)


I'm planning to take Jacob to the park tomorrow for some play time and bubble blowing. It's funny how a 2.5yr old could play in the park forever and never get tired of it, lol. If the weather doesn't cooperate then we'll just play on the trampoline in the back yard or something :)

VLCD 3

Hi everyone :)

I'm down to 175 today, love losing weight :) Great feeling!

Hoping to get down to the 160's soon, that will be an awesome feeling, been a while since I've been there!

Round 3 - VLCD 1

VLCD 1 - 178lbs

Up 1.5lbs from my "load" days, even though I didn't really load, lol.
I did have some icecream and popcorn but nothing over the top, lol, just small amounts.
Oh well, today is that day that the VLCD starts so I should lose that 1.5lbs quickly I hope!

Update

Well I missed posting about my last two injection days.

Things got busy, and the blog is always the first thing I fall behind in. Sorry guys/gals.

Here is the last 2 days that I missed:

05.29.09.....30.......174.0........+1.7..........-7.4........... Hmmm, well I've my TOM, could that be it

05.30.09.....31.......174.3........+0.3..........-7.1........... Up a little. Last dosage day also

----------------------------------------------------

I am now starting round 3. I did a mini break of about 2 weeks. Started 1st injection of round three yesterday (June 15th). And had my 2nd injection today for round 3.

I'm starting this round at 176.5. So up about 2lbs from last injection weight from round two. So not too bad. Better than my last P3 break.

My round two was more of a "rescue round" than anything. I had gained back about 9 or so lbs during my 1st P3 after round one, and so with my round two, I just lost the lbs that I had gained back.

So I'm at a pretty level playing field right now with what my LIW has been for the last two rounds.

This round will be all gold for me :) I'd love to lose another 15lbs or so this round, that would be wonderful! That would put me close to 160lbs. Then I'd only be 15 more lbs away from my goal weight of 145!!!!! It's pretty awesome to be thinking that after 2 more rounds I could be at my goal weight as long as I follow the rules and don't mess things up.

I will NOT be experimenting this time, thats how I ended up gaining back during my last P3 round, and probably why my round 2 was not as productive as my 1st. So this 3rd round needs to be Perfect with a capital P.

I really want to hit goal weight before our family vacation in September. We have decided to take our first trip to Florida and go on a 3-night Disney Cruise, and then 4 nights at Walt Disney World. How great would it be to be able to sport a bikini on the beach and feel good about it!!!

So just for fun, here is my motivation photo for today :)

VLCD 29
