Late start to the month w/cheats

I started late in the month, and with cheats happening. So tomorrow I will start as though day 1 all over no cheats, hate the first week (I recall it!) of hunger but I have extra packets to get me through. I also ordered the strawberry pudding...the rest was what I like. I hate that we can't order samplers! I wish I could find an exchange group locally, but then you worry about like when you were a kid with the halloween candy...people worried that it would have been injected with something?! Anyways...

I went to the dr. today (endocrinologist) one that listens, to have myself tested for a slew of thyroid, hormonal in balances, vitamin deficencies etc. So that news will come in soon and I hate to say it but I really want it to come back OH this was the problem, take this and you shall be fine (my mom's magic pill!). I know it won't solve all the worlds problems but maybe mine!

I won't post results until next Friday (I liked Fridays as my day to weigh etc.), mostly will be weight, I don't think I will do inches yet have to teach other half how to do the measurements.

Until later...

Ah good news!

I am going to start back up again! Starting April (will get a for sure date next week) I will be back on the meal plan! I am so excited. I can't wait to start. It has been really hard these past few months, with the financial hardship and the sudden loss of my daddy. I feel lost, but maybe I will find myself soon!

I will be posting weekly results, and here and there through the week if I have something to say. No one cares what I ate...I will have a journal of it but beyond on that...not worth it.

Thanks for listening...until later...

Explaination

The last time I wrote this was the day before I was laid off...just after that my daddy died suddenly. Since his death on January 11, 2010 I have not been on the meal plan as I like to call it these days. I have tried to remain eating healthy (when I eat), but it is hard to eat. Once I get back into the workforce I will start back up but until then I can't justify it despite the fact that I was doing great on the meal plan.

Life is for the living, and the thinner me wants out so she can live life! I hope to find a way to get back on the plan so I can lose this extra weight. Until then...

Day 96 - 12/30/09

So I counted, minus the 2 weeks (mid to end of Nov) I have been on ideal protien now for 96 days as of today. I have stopped doing the clinic one and have moved to doing it online due my health being compromised by the dr. office (it was a share facility and I would get sick everytime I went). I like doing it online, I use 3 chicks to get support anyways. The nurse would do measurements but my other half does them for me and I also have a friend who was my personal trainer to do the measurements for me. So this works out much more better for my health.

So a little over 3 months on the program, still eating the same foods, and losing weight and inches. With working it is a bit more of a struggle, but I am thankful for a great salad bar at work for the days I am too lazy to bring my own. Although I do have to have a back up of dressing in my office as I can't have anything that they provide but that is ok.

Been a while...I need to get back to this...

This is my saving grace. I need to do it. Also a way to vent. I gained a couple pounds, but this is the first time (time of the month also, coupled with the fact that my legs are soooo swollen with water) that I have even when it was that time of the month. I have continued to lose inches and until this week weight.

Back on track starting today with the blog. I did have to take off for a couple weeks when I was in the hospital, but I did eat healthy while there just didn't get to have my protien packets. Despite the going off for two weeks, I did lose inches and weight. But glad to be back on track.

Not even sure how many days now...

It has been a while. I was going to have a planned cheat and eat an artichoke but didn't do it. I have been losing steadily even with the addition of the bars (so I can make it through work with all the meetings).

My friend went on the maintanence plan...so jealous of her but she didn't have as far to go as I did. I will get there one day soon.

Wish there were more flavors...haha.

Just a quickie

I have been moving...yes a drawn out long move. I just got my computer and my boxes in my office, boy I hate moves. I have lost inches and lbs, the most inches since I have started was last Friday!

I just wanted to post a hi and I am still here, was just busy moving, being sick and all that good stuff. I should be back on track this weekend if not Monday.
