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!

169 Wii BMI 28.94 168 New scales

Well today I felt more energized and able to get up on my workout goal at 6:00 am. I weighed did weight training with the Wii, ran kids to the bus two diff rent times and back to bar lifting to tone my back and arms. Nice soaking bath and ready to hit the day hard. I have started to look at what I will be doing on P3 since I do not want to gain and I want to make sure I am eating well. I am starting to read about the Atkins induction diet and what are the fats and proteins that are used in that diet. I kinda want some rules and structure.
I also spoke with a nurse friend about why the body retains water during menes (Aunt Flo.) They said it's because it's the defense against dehydration as the body begins to exchanging fluid loss. Even if the exchange is small and the fact that there is some swelling that occurs in that area makes for the fluid retention that also occurs. It makes sense especially when you end up sitting on the throne draining out a few days after the start point if your drinking the fluids you should.

Lunch venison and cucumber strawberry salad today with melba toast bread crumbs.
Dinner curried flounder,on tomato, with grissin sticks and apple. Yeah 500 calorie compliant.

Wii 168.9 BMI 28.83 New Scale 167.6

AAAAAAh I know it's not much, and really how can anyone that has lost 17.7 pounds in three weeks be bugged about adding a bit on for a day and knowing it will be off by tomorrow again. BUT I AM BUGGED. My hubby says "hey your looking so much better it's ok," and took time to show me how to use his weight set to tone the muscles a little at a time. My partner said I know I had the same kind of day the other day and her hubby gave her a pep talk to. Today we were both hungry again. I stuck tight to the diet and did a bit of Tae Bo with the basic warm up and the three sets of toning with the bar from the weight bench. I also took a nice soaking detox bath and feel better. Maybe because its so cold outside I am burning calories to keep warm and its making me hungrier.

Well lunch was my shrimp with tomatoes that I had saved from the day before on ice and melba toasts with a grapefruit half.

Dinner venison onion soup with melba toast and orange. I know that venison is not one of the listed meats but I have come to learn it is a very lean meat and since its right out of our back yards it most likely hasn't gotten any fat to the meat either so I think I will be almost better off with it then buying beef from the stores around here.

Heres to lost weight in the morning.

This is a nice morning no hungry pains last night or all day for that matter yesterday. I can feel the muscle pull where I did the leg lifts the night before and it feels tighter. I did side leg lifts this morning 30 both sides of course on my soft bed. I need a mat for my floor so I can do that with the Wii strength training. I am sucking my gut all day to help firm it up. I can definitely tell there is stretched skin from births. Well you can't go all the way back or you wouldn't have your little angels would ya. My partner is so goofy she called me and said "I am MELTING YES MELTING away." Not really but since she carries it all over that's how she feels about the fat cells being depleted. I need to get some of that YERBA MATA tea. If it really helps to sluff off the old unused cells lets get rid of them. That is saying a lot for me because I hate drinking tea. Even when I was a kid and my Mom would say "herbal tea is so healthy and good for your body as long as you do not drink it really hot." Bleak bleak bleak and make that another double bleak I didn't care. So they say raspberry tea helps keep your blood pressures down and aid the baby during pregnancy, here's me gaging it down. I always felt like it was just weakly sweetened water. So as you can see with this said I just drink my Stevia flavored 3 liters of water in the morning. Well I try to get the majority down by 12:00 noon so that I am not up at all hours of the night trying to sit on the throne because I didn't get it all drank early enough. Kudo to you beverage drinkers.

Lunch will be shrimp today and tomorrow so I am preparing ahead as I will need to do the salad in a baggy deal. Not sure the combo yet I'll get back with you tonight.

Oh the funny thing is my partner and I are both having days where we are grouchy or hungry both on the same day. Isn't that strange. Well we were both almost the same weight at the start point but it has seemed surprising to us to have the same kinds of emotional feelings on the same day. It also makes it easier to know that the day will be tough together.

GOAL: 6:00 am strength train right after getting on the Wii for 30 min everyday, except I have to leave really early before six tomorrow.

So lunch combo Curried shrimp with stevia on top of tomatoes slices. A lovely orange that I ate later in the day with grissini sticks.

Dinner Fish soup with Wasa cracker and think onion slices. That was yummy. I also made strawberry lemonade a bit weak because of adding to much water but that's ok. I also used all of my strawberries in the drink instead of just the two that the recipe calls for.

I didn't have one single hungry pain or craving need.

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.

170.8 LBS New scales are you kidding I went up!!

What a big disappointment my BMI went up today and I gained back a pound good grief what did I do wrong. Well I totaled my cal intake and it was 55-oz over the 500 limit. I took a shower maybe to much soap got on my scalp, we have such hard water that it makes our skin itch so I could have scratched it into my scalp. What if it was the small amount of strength training that I did. I do not even hurt today so I do not think it could be that. Well its frustrating that's for sure, but I will go on! It could just be that my body has a set point there, having been the point that I delivered a baby and weighed at that point for a long time.

Today I went looking as my body decided to not lose and actually gain. Things I found and their links.

Well unearth my ball and start strength training. I want to unbury this 6 pack.

I feel that HCG has helped to burn the fat that was stored here because its the

first place I saw it begin to leave off of me.

March 1, 2010 173.9 Wii 172.8 New scales

Well I drank dieters tea last night and felt a huge release in the area where I once had an appendices surgery this morning. Strange that I should feel that now. I strength trained again today very light with things on the Wii. I do not want to lose all my summer walking muscle by not doing anything while on this diet even though it says not to workout hard. I want my core muscles to get stronger too since that's what holds me together. The hubby and my partner sis said they can see that my belly fat is gone and there are changes that they can see. My clothing isn't so tight either. I changed how many times I was using my spray more to what the bottle directions state instead of what the distributor stated. I haven't felt a single change in being more hungry or less energy I was spraying 6 sprays 6 times a day and cut to 7 sprays 3 times. My bottle is supposed to make it 40 days but its looking like it will be gone before that if I keep spraying at the more rate. I now want to go the full 40 days that you can do when you are using Homeopathic HCG. Of course I can change my mind too.

Shesh I gave my kids an after school snack and without thinking I ate a oatmeal chocolate chip bar. PLEASE body don't make me pay for that mistake of human frailty. I feel so nice in my skin.

Lunch Hamburger 3.5 oz lean with onion rings and strawberries. I made the batter off this HCG BLOG that has recipes, I will put a link at the end. Dinner Crab cake with spinach and apple made a vinegar sauce for the dressing that was really good. I was freezing all day again that is hard to handle. I just wear my coat and tell myself I burn more calories and fat when my body is trying to stay warm. Oh also took my potassium and calcium with magnesium again for the last three days.
