Yes, I am totally back on track and I am down to 193.7 today! WootWoot!
Today is going to be a tough one though. I am at home with my youngest and she is sick yet again. This time with a stomach bug (yea me:P). Poor thing. I guess she got it with her immune system being down from all those darn antibiotics. I am really looking into getting her gut cleaned up. If anyone knows anything about a candida/yeast cleanse that is safe for toddlers, please, please let me know. I need to start her on a better probiotic too. This one is from the Dr., and I just don't feel like it's doing the trick? Maybe it's because she detests it being in anything I give it to her in. I've tried pudding, yogurt, juice... nothing works! She says, "yuck, mommy, it's old!" Little stinker!
Wish me luck and good luck on your journey!

Back on Track!
Ok, so it has been a really long time without a post. Time has just really been getting away from me, but I plan to do it at least once a week. More if I have time!
Well, one reason I haven't been blogging is because I started cheating (head hung in shame)! Yes, I know, terrible. Well, it all started, IMHO, because I think I have a yeast problem that I did not give enough attention too. Since the cheating started, I have been up and down with the scale. I'd do great one day and then bad for two! Ughh, it really had me baffled. I would think I had it mastered and then WHAMMO, I found myself saying it was okay to eat Pei Wei Chicken Terryaki Lo Mein because the noodles were egg noodles! Um , who ever said egg was on the protocol except in special cases? Yes, it took a little ingenious reasoning, but I did it. I have since found Candida-G. It has cut my cravings almost completely! In JUST THREE DAYS! Woo-Hoo and I am on the losing team again!
I really can't say enough about this diet. Anyone who wants too lose weight, really , you can! I think, for me anyway, I just HAD to get through those first two weeks. I think it may vary for everyone. I was completely carb addicted and have suffered a little from that. Headaches, allergies, and some other stuff that I am just going to chalk up to carb withdrawals and fat toxins leaving my body, FOREVER!!!
So, here are my stats so far...
Start Date: 10/14/2008
Beginning weight: 204.8
Load Weight: 205.9
Todays Weight: 10/30/2008:195.1
I am down 10.8 lbs (from load weight) in just 16 days! Who, on any other diet besides hCG, can say that?
A little thought/question on Ketones:
So, I bought Ketone testing sticks when I purcahsed everything and never used them. I started using them one day when I was cheating. Just so I would have some sort of control to compare to when I started back to my VLCD. It read Negative. I have since dropped a few pounds and decided to try it again. Everyday since then they get heavier. Now, how high should they be to prove we are losing stored fat and nothing else? I ask this because I think the higher would be better since in Ketosis you burn stored fat and that intern releases Ketones. Am I correct? If so I am very happy today as it shows the highest it has since I started. It showed Moderate/Heavy. Between the two darkest colors. So, if what I am thinking is correct, I should be burning that fat like a locomotive burns coal!!
Well, I must say, my third week so far, has been the best. I think just going through the diet and the stages helps me understand everything a lot better. It's funny how after about 2 weeks, you start to look at your body and food differently. Not just getting smaller, ( and 5 people commented on it today!) but I look at food and say, what's this going to do INSIDE my body? Is it going to help me burn more of this nasty fat? Or, is it going to slow or stop my losing, or worse, make me gain? I want nothing to stand in my way. And food just doesn't taste as sweet as losing these pounds and inches feels!
I am on my way back to the old me! I am SO excited to complete this journey. I am almost as excited to see my weigh-in results tomorrow. I think it's gonna be huge! (Fingers crossed!)
XOXO

First Loading Day - R1P2D1
Well, here goes nothin'! I have been at the hospital for a week with my youngest daughter and in that time my hCG came! This in not the hCG from DrugDelivery.ca, this is from an individual who was on the protocol and had to stop because of high blood pressure! Bad for her, GREAT for me!
Anyway, I really didn't get to do the cleansing regimine I wanted, but what the heck, I am going for it anyway! I am VERY excited to see my body start to change and I will keep all posted of my progress, triumphs and trials too, I am sure!
I am injecting 133 Iu hCG. I am going to see how this works for me and will adjust accordingly, if need be. I did this amount because I felt it fit perfect with the 2000Iu hCG I received mixed with half of the 30ml Bacteriostatic wash. I have two in that amount. After the next batch, I will go to the 5000 Iu ampule and decide what amount I want to inject.
Anyway, here goes Load Day #1...wish me luck! I hope I can get enough fatty stuff down!

A little about why I decided to do hCG
Well, like a lot of women, I gained a ton of weight during my pregnancy and it all didn't come off. Add that to an unhappy first marriage and you're looking at a very unhappy, unmotivated fat girl! I got a divorce and soon dropped 68 lbs through SlimFast! I did work out religiously every day for at least an hour. I never felt toned and never got to exactly where I wanted. But, I was MUCH happier with what I had done completely on my own! It only took me about 6 months so I was pretty please.
Then came my husband! He is an East Texas boy with the typical eating habits. Fried everything and lots of it and the buttery sides to go with it! Yummm-o! This is NOT a good thing for someone who has kept the weight off for a year! So, slowly but surely, in about 3 years time, I regained about 30 lbs. Then I decided to give Weight Watchers a try. I dropped about 15 lbs and Wham-O, I got pregnant!
My daughter is 2 years, 4 months and I am hanging right about 12 lbs less that my delivery weight! NOT COOL! That is when I came across the hCG: pounds and inches protocol. In April I originally was going to a clinic who was giving me Lipotropic and B-12 shots along with he appetite suppressant phentermine. I did pretty well and lost 21 lbs! I had to cancel one day and never made it back until I had gained 8 lbs. back! I went back in July, but this time the weight was not coming off. After my 3rd visit (you go every week) a lady in the waiting room started telling me that she lost 5 lbs in a week on this new shot! I said, "What new shot? No one has said anything to me about a new shot". That's when it hit me, it must be hCG. I had tried hCG about 2 years ago and NOTHING! They were giving it at another clinic along with phentermine. So I had heard of people doing this diet and thought the other one just didn't know what they were doing. Well, I took the shot at the new clinic for about a week and I actually gained weight! UGHHH!!! Well it turns out they only gave you 3 of the 48 pages from Dr. Simeons weight loss protocol: Po9unds and Inches. I got on the internet and started looking up hCG weight loss. I came across some VLOGs on YouTube (thanks margotzoe and Shalom!)and they really got m researching. That is how I came across the correct way to do this protocol.
I have put together a binder and received all of my supplies. I am just waiting on the hCG. I am going to do the first phase of this protocol as read in another sources book, Kevin Trudeau's "Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You To Know About". You don't have to follow the Phase I but I hear it greatly helps your chances of losing weight and not feeling hungry during the other phases. That is why I have decided to do at least a Body Cleanse and a Candida Cleanse.
Wish me luck!

First Day of Phase I
Well, yesterday (Sunday, 10/05/2008)I went out and bought my cleansing supplies. I am only going to do Phase I until my TOM goes away, or 7 days which is the length of the cleanse I bought. I also purchased a Candida Cleanse, krill oil, B-12, Yerba Mate Tea, green tea, and some other things to get me started.
I am still waiting on my hCG to come in. I received a tracing number, but I can't track it until it gets to the states :( I did come into some luck though and was able to purchase some through a person (who shall remain nameless) who has to stop the diet due to high blood pressure and she is mailing it from Alabama. So, it should not take very long and at least I can get started as soon as I am done with the cleanse. I am actually hoping to start Phase II next Sunday. I am off on Mondays and that will give me Sunday and Monday to Load and Tuesday will be a perfect day to start VLCD since I'll be at work and that is less likely to make me think about food!
Today is my honey's and my 3 year wedding anniversary. We have been together for 7 years now and I want to give him back the girl he met 7 years ago. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I am bitchy and cranky all the time, and that is NOT the woman he married. I know people change, I am sure some things will stay the same because I have matured, but overall I feel a lot of my negativeness is caused by my weight and just being unhappy with myself.
I am so excited to start this protocol. I can't wait and I will keep you posted with daily food journals (I know, bo-ring) and weight loss, and all the obstacle/triumphs I am bound to go through! Thanks for taking the journey with me!
