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!!

I'm Ba-ack! (Load day #2)

I am so happy to be back on the HCG train! I can't tell you how great I feel when I am on HCG. That is one of the amazing things about this protocol is the way it makes you feel. As hard as it is something to see past your craving, overall, I would much rather wake up to a loss each morning than have the bloat and fullness that processed food makes you feel. I will be doing a long round, 8 weeks. And I am hoping to be 199 by the end of this round, that is 35pounds! That is 4.4 pounds a week and I usually average 6-6.5, so I may even surpass my goal! Tomorrow is my first VLCD day! I have food ready for tomorrow and my willpower is at an all time high! Lets do this!

Still not sure what to do....

Well, most of you know I had to end my round due to my HCG being bad. I am not happy about it one bit and I am still not sure what I am going to do. I am considering purchasing RX HCG and trying that. I'm not saying that Homeopathic HCG does not work, because I know it does. But, I wouldn't mind trying RX so I can make my own comparison of them both. I watched Jenny's vlog about mixing RX and she had detailed instructions on how and where to order. SO that was a huge help. It's a lot more expensive than HHCG, so it does make you wonder why RX is so much more expensive. Is it the quality or quantity of the HCG? Who knows. All I know is I am no closer to my goal than I was yesterday. Still not happy about this at all!
