VLCD #12 (I think)

Well, I've lost 2.2 since I wrote last. I wish it was more. Oh well, loss is loss right? I have been drinking tons of water and eating way under the 500 calories. I skipped working out today, decided to do it every other day. I also ordered those Miracal Noodles to add variety. I'm getting sooo bored with food.... I got my next batch of hCG yesterday but haven't mixed it yet. I haven't decided if I want to go the 23 or 40. Although I feel wonderful I want to lose more weight before the move which is in 39 days so that's either 1 more week or 4 more weeks.

VLCD #19 WOW! Nice!

I released 3.2 pounds! I was pretty darn shocked. I know I'm drinking tons of water and I'm working out and I cut the melba so I think that helps. I am happy to see that my cocoa/coffee treat didn't affect it. It was under 10 calories so... :) Busy packing for the big move....it's almost a month away! I really hope I can lose 40 pounds by the end of my 43 day round.

VLCD DAY #8 - LOVE IT.

I am finally under 190! 189.2 this morning. That's 1.4 pounds gone forever! Whooooohooooo.
Now I'm getting excited. I think cutting the melba out has helped.
I did Turbo Jam 3 (only 1/2 of it to get a mini-cardio in) and then weights and abs. I really don't want to over do it because I know I'll be more hungry.

VLCD #7 (YESTERDAY WAS 6..OOPS)

1.8 POUNDS RELEASED! WOOOHOO
I'm pretty happy but of course I want more. I was having a few litte cravings, especially for a drink. Because I haven't been drinking alcohol I think my body is wanting to replace it with sugar. Tonight researched dark cocoa and if you use just a tiny bit - it's hardly anything. I haven't had my melba in 2 days and the cocoa has less fat than they do...we'll see tomorrow. Anyway, I mixed a tiny bit with some Truvia and then added a little bit of cold coffee to it. It was like a little shot of it. I sipped it slowly and it totally satisfied the chocolate craving. I sure hope I didn't screw it up. I drank almost 3 2.2 Liter jugs so hopefully that will help too.

VLCD Day #7 - I'll take it...

Well, 1.8 pounds has been "released" (I like that expression better than lost). I was right....I didn't weight 188 afterall. For lunch I made a hot n sour shrimp soup. It was good but I only ate like a 1/4 cup of the broth and maybe 4 small shrimp. I also made some cucumbers and only ate 4 slices. I just wasn't hungry.
For dinner I had chicken pillard. I pounded a chicken breast and then seasoned it with garlic powder, s & p then seared it. I then added a little chicken broth mixer with dijon mustard and a tsp of capers(I know...not on protocol but I DIDNT EAT MY MELBA) It was really yummy. I had asparagas with that. Yum. A little too salty so next time, I'll refrain from salting the chicken. There's enough in the caper juice.

We had a big wind storm blow through so I went to work late (power was out at work). I didn't workout. Who knows...maybe I'll lose more if I don't. (ITS SO backwards to me). We'll see tomorrow.....

VLCD #5 YESS!

Woohoo! I can either say I lost 6.2 pounds or 1.6...This is why...
I got up this morning, did the pee-thaanng and weighed myself. It  read 188! I couldn't believe it so I stepped off and reset it again...188 again! I hopped in the shower thinking, "This is so unreal...I'll weigh again"...I towel-dried my hair and stepped on the scale and it read 192.6! Either way I'm below my starting weight but of course I'd prefer the 188. Tomorrow I will see what happens and then I'll go by that. I feel lighter and have tons of energy. I only ate 297 calories yesterday and did Turbo Jam so...maybe the 188 was correct.

Today I worked out to ChaLEAN Extreme Cardio - it uses lighter weights and more reps. It was an awesome workout and I definately felt the burn! 40 minutes of that..had my apple right after with tons of water (my new love).

Lunch was bleh. I made a tomato soup last night with the proper amount of tomatoes and beef broth and herbs. It was really watery so it ended up more like a minestrone soup without all the good stuff. I also had some broiled shrimp as my protein. I'll admit, I'm a bit hungry but I'll live. I'm a bit confused on the whole grissini/melba thing. I bought melba toast (well, crackers) at the store and it says 4 crackers are 64 calories and part of the cals are from fat. I don't understand why we can't have a bigger choice of crackers. I'd be just fine with a good ole' saltine. If I start losing more, then I may switch it up a bit. I'll watch the calories and nutritional content but I like variety!

Not sure what I'm going to make for dinner. BF works so I can't grill. More later.

VLCD #4 - FINALLY LOSING!

I was a littel nervous to weigh myself this morning but happy to report I am down. Still not below my pre-load day weight so I can't consider it huge until then. I'm still happy about it though.

I worked out this morning. Did Turbo Jam - Punk,Kick, Jam and I did pretty well. I took it easier than I normally would because I didn't want to over do it. I have tons of energy and I'm not hungry at all. I ate my apple just to have something in my stomach after the workout.

More later. :)
