R4 P2 VLCD#5, Back in the 220's again!

Released 1.2!! I am totally shocked, only because we went out for Mexican last night and I got steak fajitas (minus the tortillas). I was really nervous because I wasn't sure about the oil they would be cooked in, not to mention it had onions AND green pepp's. Even though I only ate a few of the peppers and took half home. But I also had the equivalent of about 2 teaspoons of guac and about the same for sour cream. Plus some chips and salsa!! So, needless to say I was more than shocked have any release today!! Phew! We will most likely be going out to dinner again tonight and I am planning on a half a steak, since typically the smallest steak you can get is a 6oz., and some veggies. I'm really gonna try to push the water today too. So, I am at 8.8 lost for the week so far! YAY! I am hoping to lose another 2 #'s by Sunday, which will only inch me closer to my low weight in October of 217. So depending on how that goes, I will set my new goals for the upcoming week!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, I know I will!!! I will be back to do a vlog Monday Morning.

R4 VLCD#3 Still in the game

Mark it on your calandar, I am still on VLCD. I repeat, I am still on VLCD! I released 2.8 this morning, YAY! I am a firm believer in my philosophy that you have to be mentally raady to take on this protocol or it doesn't work. And so far that has been the truth. The first time I did HCG I was so ready. I had just gotten back from vacation, I felt bloated, fat, uncomfortable, and ashamed of myself. I was so ready for a change. I think you get to a point where you get almost angry that you have to keep watching wjat you eat so closely that you go into burn-out mode. I believe thats what I did towards the end of 2010. A month ago,  I wasn't ready to take this on again. But I still have a lot of work to do becuase when I reach my goal, and I will, I can't go back to the way I used to eat!

So, it's Wednesday, halfway through the week, tomorrow is my last full day of work. Lets finish off this awesome week, shall we!! I will post a video tomorrow morning :)

Should I dare say it......

...I'M LOADING!!!! Yep! Sunday is my second day of loading. Needless to say I am thinking this first week, which typically tends to be the hardest, will be somewhat easier than normal because I have been sick for 3 weeks now and haven't had much of an appetite. Went to the store today, got my apples and oranges and lettuce for the week. We bought a new car today WOOHOO! We have been car searching for 3 weeks and finally found something we liked. We were purposely being picky because we wanted something reliable, not too expensive, not too old, relatively low miles, good gas mileage and one that actually started! You wouldn't believe the amount of cars we went to test drive that wouldn't even start! So frustrating!! I digress......So I am back on the juice, or the pellets I should say. I bought the pellets last time, did them for all of 3 days and then I stopped.

I am extremely motivated now. We are going to Vegas for a quick weekend for my hubby's b-day in April and I would love to be 30 pounds lighter by then. That would mean that when we go I would be 60 pounds lighter than when we went last year!!! I would be so happy. And I can do it! So I am getting everything in order....I am making my goal sheet, my daily weight chart and I will get through the next 8 weeks. So operation VEGAS officially starts Monday.

My husband went back to work last week, we discovered we are getting a good amount in taxes back because I am a full time student and qualified for numerous credits, and we decided we are going to spend Christmas in Disneyland this year. It's going to be a great week! I recorded a video Friday that I haven't finished editing yet, but I will be doing that here shortly. Here are my goals for  myself this week:

1. Record a video each morning keeping myself accountable.
2. Drink as much water as I can. (I struggle with this one)
3. Stick to protocol.
4. Lose 7 pounds

I am 17 pounds above my lowest weight on drops, which was back in October. This round will be from the 7th of Feb., thru the 31st of March. That is 52 days, so my goal is to lose 45 pounds. That would put me at 182. That is only 12 pounds off from my goal weight!! I am making it my mission to be 199 by the 14th of March!! Lets see if I can do it :)

Day 1 Atkins Induction-235.6! Yikes!

Yep, I said that right, ATKINS! There have only been 3 diets that I have done in my life that actually worked, Weight Watchers, Atkins and HCG. Weight Watchers is for patient people, I'm not one of them. Atkins and HCG both work exceptionally fast. Since I am in burn out mode with HCG, I will have to alternate between the two. I am planning on doing atkins for 8 weeks and then doing a round of HCG. I am hoping to be at 199 by the end of March so that I can start a round of HCG by April 1st and finish off my weight loss.

The scale has gone up a lot since my last round of HCG. Thats what happens when you don't try, like I did. My goal is to excercise 3 times a week for the first 2-3 weeks and progress to 4-5 times a week until the end of the 8 weeks of Atkins. Here is my menu for today:

Breakfast: Hard boiled egg, string cheese
Snack- celery with ranch
Lunch- Chef salad
Dinner- ?

Today's ganna be a great week!!

My weekend.....

...was a DISASTER!!! Cheating, cheating, cheating. Shame on me! GGRRRR! I cannot get into the habit of being awesome during the week and aweful on the weekends....thats NOT okay with me. I am so freakin' mad at myself, I don't know whats wrong with me. It's like I validate the resoning at the time and the next day I realize it was the worse decision ever. Christ on a corn dog, I will never reach my goal if I keep this up.....

Holy Moley! 5 pounds lost in 1 day!

Okay, I'm fairly certain it was water weight, but even with the best diets of done I've never eliminated that much water weight in a single day! HCG ROCKS! In fact Even while on HCG for the first time I never lost that much in a day.I am super proud of myself that I was able to stick to protocol exactly and I even forgot to eat one of my fruit!

Day 2 here I come! I am BACK finally.

HELLO 2011!

Wow! The holidays came and went and man, it was a whirlwind! I am happy to be dedicating this year to losing all this unwanted weight once and for all! I have a goal in mind and it may sound like a steep one, but here it goes. I am planning on doing an 8 week round and my goal is to lose 60 pounds. That will get me within 7-10 pounds of my goal of 170. Come on Kris, whats 8 weeks of your life, seriously!!? I have to prove to myself that I can do this!!
