My how time flies! It has been 42 days on IP, it has been hard but worth it. With the move almost done stress should go down massively in my life and that will help a lot too.
I just thought I would post that I will be back in full swing once a)my computer is up and running and b) I have internet!
Until later...

Day 40 - 10/21/09
The move is moving a little faster than it was at turtle's pace. I had a busy busy day today but I managed to stay on track. I have decided that the restricted bars are needed to get me through those really busy times. They might be higher in carbs than the normal foods but they are easy to grab and go and I need that type of easy peasy thing other wise it becomes to hard and I don't want to do it and thus far I am doing good.
Ok I am off to bury myself in the boxes and toss things out from long ago. Purging is great!

Day 39 - 10/20/09
I know...seems like I feel off the grid huh? Well I didn't nor did I fall off the wagon. I got sick again on Thursday, fevers, chills etc. I went to the dr. today and got antibiotics for an infection.
With the move and being sick it just sucks. The move is going slow, my idea of purging/packing is not the same as the other halfs. Why do men feel they can just box it up and deal with it later...YOU CAN'T! Pay now or pay double later.
Anyways just thought I would catch up. I know I lost inches as a pair of pants less than 6 months old and freshly shrunk by the other half (hah) were falling off me.

Day 34 - 10/15/09
Ah the stress of moving. I feel like I have gained weight, yet clothes are visibly very loose, to the point where I bought some new under garments!
I am still moving, I have given the other half a deadline of next Thursday, with Friday large furniture to be done. I can't keep doing this little bits at a time, although he was painting today for me.
Ok I just wanted to give an update. It has been a struggle and I also got sick...again. I was running a fever. I also found out someone I know has the swine flu, thank goodness I haven't seen them in a long time! I am tired, stressed and ready for the move to be over with!
It will be a lot easier for me to not struggle when I am not constantly in the car or at the new place (or buried in a purge box!).

Day 32 - 10/13/09
Today was more of a struggle to eat. With the move (packing, purging, moving and unpacking!!) I have zero desire to eat. It is a really stressful time for us as I want to purge and not just shove things in a box and the other half wants to shove things in a box and move. Now we did this before with some things and let me tell you those boxes from 4 years ago caught up to us, and 8 years ago and 14 years ago! Sheesh I just want to get rid of them already.
Ok back to more packing, purging and struggling to stay on target during this stressful time.

Day 31 - 10/12/09
I am tired and beat. I am finding it hard to stick with the salad at lunch but I am determined to do it. Moving and packing just gets the best of me and the lunch gets the worst of me!
I just can't wait until we are done and I can be a little more stress free! I do wish the weight was falling off faster, but I am cool with the results so far.
Ok dinner time then time to pack some more!

Day 30 - 10/11/09
And another day of purging packing. I am sure I am burning calories watching the darling other half slave over stuff! Nah I am helping too but not bending up and down, restricted to chair and if I move he chases me down!
I can't wait to be packed and moved out and into the new place, now if it could only unpack itself!
With the move I am having to remind myself more to eat, it is so easy to get lost in the daily hustle and bustle but I am doing it.
Eye on the prize....

Day 29 - 10/10/09
We are in the process of packing up to move near work for us and school for the kids. It has been a very tiring process. Not to mention my back is out so my darling other half is having to take the brunt of the work and pack and move us!
We have stress with family also, but it isn't hindering my loss maybe slowing it down a bit.
I hear boxes calling!!
Until later...

Day 28 - 10/09/09
I made it! Now if I only lost it is the question! The last two weeks have been hell...sick last week and this week a little, plus the stress of everyday life. I did however manage to (won't see results for a few weeks) fix a huge chunk of where the stress comes from! We are moving back to where we use to live and closer to work...5 minutes from work! I am excited yet I dread it...moving, scratch that, packing and unpacking sucks!
I have stayed on target, but have been having minimum requirements of salad and veggies. I tried to have an omlet but wasn't impressed with it (no cheese!), plus eggs get me very sick. I also tried the fish, but haven't tried the one I could stomach again.
This move will be good for the whole family, 5 minutes from work, near school and near our friends! Oh how we needed to just finally do it.
I posted my lost results! I am so thrilled. It could be better and will be after this move! (less stress) I also have to recognize that I was swollen in my legs, had pants on and back was hurting insanely. So that all being said I am proud of myself!

Week 4 measure and weigh in day!!!!
Well today is the day! I feel really horrible though, my back is acting up which means for the last two days I have been in excruitiating pain and barely able to walk. I will post results of this week later!
Well I didn't weigh in because I am so swollen on my legs, but they did measure. At week 3 I was down 26.2 lbs, I know it is more will weigh once my back stops making my legs swell due to pain.
So for week for measurements...
Weeks on IP
4 weeks - today
Weight lost
Lbs lost: ?? (total lost so far 26.2lbs as of week 3)
Inches lost (note this is with my pants on and legs swollen)
Chest: down 1/4"
Waist: down 1"
Hip: down 3/4"
Arm: down 1"
Thigh: down 3/4"
Total Inches Lost
7 3/4"
I would say that is a huge accomplishment! I think I am over the 30lb mark too and it has only been 4 weeks!

Day 25 - 10/06/09
What a long day it was. Tomorrow is much of the same. I had to bring extra shakers, packets and bottles of water.
Does the chaos ever end?
--
So I forgot to talk about what I did last night. It is almost day 26! Well I cooked fish...tried two types cod and tilapia. I almost puked on the tilapia...it tasted like dirt. I was like oh hell no (hence the cod!). I baked them in lemon juice and a little pepper. I cooked them both per instructions but the cod I had to cook double the time as it didn't look so done the first time (like I know what done is on fish). I really doubt I will eat fish too often, I am a veg'n and now having to add other sources of protien in my diet because of the meal plan, BUT I rather loose the weight now than keep it.

Day 24 - 10/5/09
If you are wondering where the missing days are...well I was sick, house hunting and purging stuff over the weekend so I didn't get to them. It was a hetic weekend. I was being reminded by everyone did you eat what you were suppose too...I wanted to hurt someone! I was so tired of everything this weekend plus being sick just doesn't help but if I don't do it no one else can.
I am down a little over 25 lbs in 3 weeks...moving onto week 4 here pretty soon. I hope being sick didn't affect me adversely. I only see more sick days ahead (darn school age kids!).

Day 21 - 10/02/09
Wow I made it to week 3 with 26.2 lbs total lost. I can't wait until next week to know my measurements. The coach at the Doctor's office only does them on Friday's so I can't even go in on Monday to find out. But I will take the lbs lost as a win!
I just hope all the stress in my life doesn't cause more weight gain. Even though I have been sick I have stuck to the diet, it has been hard as I don't eat when I am sick and to eat makes me feel icky but I did it. I was told either you eat or I force it upon you by the other half.

Week 3 measure and weigh in day!!!!
I am not going due to being sick. I did weigh in at home which is not the same scale as I am using but they are only .4 off when I do weigh and it showed a loss of 4.6lbs (total of 26.2 lbs). I do not know the measurements though.

Day 20 - 10/01/09
I woke up late today, trying to rest up. I have to go see what I want to eat, still no appetite.
-
I haven't been well this week so slow to respond with everything going on in real life. I have decided not to list out my foods as it really doesn't matter to anyone but me. What matters is my feelings and how I am doing. I am still journaling my food just not on here.
Tomorrow is my weigh and measure but I am skipping because I am still sick and do not want to get sicker. I know for a fact the Dr.'s office is where I got sick.

----------------------------
Dinner
