8 miles I went that far.

Wednesday of this past week yes I made an 8.33 miles to be exact in my run or maybe my boys might call it a shuffle since they can both Mc and C walk almost as fast as I can do my running but hey I did it. I went outside so there were no interruptions, no reasons to quit, and a must to get myself back home since no one was coming to rescue me. It took me two hours to do, of course one neighbor talked to me, one cell phone call slowed me a tish and the hill towards the end got a walk instead of the shuffle move because I was just to tired.

BUT I DID IT and its more then I ever thought I would do in my life time.

I had set out on Tue to do this goal but the Hubby surprised me and came home from work early right at mile 6.25. Ya know how if you stop you can't get going ya that happened to me so I decided to call the run for the day good and try later to reach that 8 mile goal.

I am trying to refine how many calories I consume. I hate recording them but by doing so with Dr. Oz Move it to Lose it I am seeing how much I need verses how much I take in and I always seem to go over. I really sometimes just think it would be easier to get back to the HCG diet limits yet I know that is not enough for the body to keep up with running too. So I am learning how to work the limits out and keep the calories low but not to low so that I can still run.

I saw a to die for recipe here that would be good for a maintaince phase it was on Dr. Oz show I gotta log it's link up there so that I can find it when ever the urge hits. I am so dang crazy for chocolet now days it is just pitiful, having never a need in the past as a youth and young Mom but now get out of my way and give me that stuff or I might clobber you for it. Hopefully this 88 cal replacement will help my fix need and maybe even the little guy will think its cool too. Maybe I just lack and seek the protein that chocolaty has so ya the secret ingredient is a protein that just might help my needs.

146.0 A chant that runs in my head 120.

I have been chanting everyday now to myself 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120.

Get the picture.

Its a chant that I started many years ago when I wanted to reset my thermostat burn level. But alas another baby interrupted the chant and it took awhile to get back to it.

It was even written on a card siting in my mirror all those many years with a pic of my return to the skinny year after 3 births and 2 miscarriages.

When I started this lose journey back in February I looked at that card and pic and knew I would get there some day.

This next few months is it I am going to get there.

Even if I have to chant it when the boys beg for brownies and the brownies rise up out of the package and cry to me to eat them.

I will conquer so here goes 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120.

Breakfast: Chocolate water, dang a spoon of Jer's wild brown rices.

Lunch: Talapia fish and cherry bell tomato's, an apple out the door to work and dang two crackers that Jer fed me that had peanut butter in the middle.

Dinner: Steak round rib eye, 2.5 ounce amount weighed raw, cucumbers with salt, dang a bite of that horrible begging brownie, never taking C boy shopping with me again he murders the diet with his treat begging. Didn't dare eat the orange with that many little calorie infractions leveled for this day. I just got to keep saying my goal that's it 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120.

161. New scale

I CAN NOT GET OFF THIS DANG 160 SPOT. IT IS TOTALLY MADDENING. I ONLY HAVE THREE DAYS LEFT TILL A 40 DAY ROUND ON HHCG IS DONE AND I WANTED TO LOSE MORE.

Atkins says that you can lose on the induction diet and that is what I have decided I am going to fallow during P3 so that I have structure after P2. I am most obviously going to have to do another round so that will keep me staying lower in my calorie amount and ready when its time to start again.

In the mean time TAE BO ya I did it with the start out video and went all the way full powered and it felt SO SO GOOD. Over the last two years I would try and get interrupted or not be able to get to even the half way point because I was too heavy so today I feel super. The slow strength training has gotten me to where I am along with doing this HHCG diet.

Belly Fat that is what I had and if there is that much bulging on the outside can you only imagine what that looks like on the inside. I am 5,4 so there is no room for me to have belly fat. I am so glad it's gone now. If I was more techie I would put a before and after together but someone is going to have to help me with that one.
BELLY FAT = HEART ATTACK in the studies of medicine. So at least I am beating that odd.
Lunch I think I am stuck with chicken(194cal)grissini(22.5cal)orange(62cal)cabbage(22cal) total 300.5 cal

Dinner I ate 2 tablespoons of peanut butter NO dinner for me. Thats like 198 cal alone. I just couldn't make a sandwich for my little guy and not eat it. It has been a month and I was craving. It is sugar free so that is a plus for me. It has some pritein but it also has fats so that wasn't very good, anyway not eating the planed dinner so that I at least still am below 500 cal for today.

CAL COUNT LATER SORRY I HAVE TO HURRY THE TROOPS ARE AWAKING!

Wii165.8 BMI 28.30 New scale 164.8

Sliding on down the scale yippee! I can run and not be weary and walk and not faint D&C 89:20:) On that note I remember how it felt to walk up and down my stairs after 7 1/2 months of not doing hardly anything but sit and how fatigued I would become. There are only 14 steps that's not really much, but my calves would scream and I would be lightheaded. It took months for me to even come close to a run up them as I had done in the years before. There is also that saying if you do not use it you lose it. That had been me but no more.

Lunch is Venison grilled 1c op asparagus 1/2 a grapefruit no toast today.
Dinner Chicken grilled a small tomato and 1 melba toast. No fruit. The calorie count came in at 506 so I can not risk going over. It must be higher calories for the asparagus then lettuce and I know that a grapefruit is the highest of all the four you can pick from. Going to take a nice detox bath wish i had some green tea bags. I have learned that they also help to remove fat cells when sweating it out in a hot bath if you boil and steep and then add to your bath with Epsom salt. Well maybe I will get time to stop at a store. Its going to be a crazy day I think.

March 7, 2010 170.7 Wii 168.6 new scales BMI 29.02

Finally moving down again. My Wii scales got dropped yesterday and so I knew this morning it was not going to say the same thing I am going to convert to the scale that never gets moved because it is also staying close to the old one that my hubby has and they are both never ever moved. I strength trained on the Wii this morning I just felt like I needed to keep the muscles stretching and toning. I felt some new spots that were different then in the past year so I am glad that I did the training. Lunch was off of my amazing Recipe book that I have but you have to request it and then I will email it if you want it FREE.

So Lunch Strawberry Vinaigrette with the Chicken cooked in a bit of it and the rest pored over cucumbers and the rest of the strawberries sliced and the chicken on top. I saved my melba toasts and ate while the kids I taught ate their fishy crackers, Yeah no cheating for me today. Dinner was the most yummy Picante sauce off my HCG Recipe book. I did eat hamburger (181 cal) on top of a few, meaning like 5 spinach leaves (less then 7 cal because it was not a one cup measurement) with the sauce on top. Sauce has tomato (20 cal for the sauce and 1 tomato 32.1 cal making a total of 52.1 cal and you divide that by 4 you get about 13.2 cal of the sauce) and well I only had about 1/4 cup of it so that really is the allotted Veg. Oh yeah the bun was a Wasa cracker (60). It was pretty messy but so so yummy. So cal count up is----506.6 if I am doing all this counting correct. I just know that staying away from Beef and shrimp on the same day is the best route. This is totally my theory but it seems like when your body starts burning the fat storage areas that you stop being hungry at odd moments and the diet makes you feel really full and when your at a set point or holding spot then you might end up more hungry because your not burning. Good day good day.

March 3, 2010 127.4 Wii 172 new scales

I figured up my tally in calories and I am pushing it big time. Do I want to lose a POUND or only OUNCES. I still wish I had a calorie counter scale cause I suck badly at being careful with what portion is in veggies and combining hamburger with shrimp to count out and make it stay under 500 calories is really pushing it. Even if they are the same 3.5 ounce raw weight. Also if you eat the higher calorie veggie like onions with say grapefruit and a whole cucumber instead of only a cup it will put you over the top of the limit. Like I said I am not good at counting so I did it today and ate to many Melba toasts and it was at 370 by lunch time. So lunch was Fennel bulb with grapefruit mixed and the melba toasts that I calculated at 120 cal. and Steak. I didn't like the fennel much.

Dinner was Garlic grilled Chicken breast wrapped in Spinach and no apple even though they say to not do that. Also I drank the dieters tea tonight.

The pounding in my core is not as buggy I think its from the water that is being filtered through my kidneys. Mine have been taxed in the past greatly so I hope that there doing ok. I have kind of strange little spots that are breaking out on my face every once in a while but I just leave them alone.

A RECIPE book I can do this, I think.

I am a terrible cook and can not think up things to cook. Actually I hate cooking. I also do not know a thing about calorie counting. I never had to use it. To often pregnant and then nursing so why learn I always told myself. Besides it wasn't that big a problem until the last two babies. So now that I have a book with recipes that tell me how to cook with this new HCG protocol I think I can do this. If I had to eat chicken the whole time with spinach I wouldn't make it that's for sure.
