The rest of the story Part Two!

[MagieDen]

Deb I can't say enough how happy I am that you are in a good place right now with your journey to being a healthier, happier YOU! We all have our journey and I enjoy hearing about how we are all getting along and just supporting one another in our choices as how we get to being more healthy. You are such a sweetie for being there in your encouraging comments and friendship.

Whatever that number is on the scale when you weigh just remember what Meeks Avi says- YOU are not that number on the scale-YOU are Deb with so many wonderful attributes(well I know you have some flaws) but you get the picture?

Have a beautiful and relaxing weekend with family and friends!

That's too cute about your mom and son!! and I totally understand about siblings "sharing the load". I'm the only daughter so the lion's shard to caring for my mom falls to me. My older brother lives back East so he's helping w/ $. Which I'm short on!!

Thanks! I do hope we're leaving a nice, healthy, active lifestyle legacy for our kids! I'm working on making these changes permanent and natural parts of our lives. So far, so good. In fact I was just telling my neighbor last night, that if someone told me 10 years ago I would be choosing a vacation of hiking and mountain biking I would have laughed!! But, that's just what we're doing . Very happy to live life to the fullest!

I'm back to LC. I've gained too much weight this week. I want to get down about 5+lbs now. Attempting it this week while on vacation is probably foolish, but I want to reign it in before it gets too far out of hand.

Have a specatcular weekend all!! Keep up the good work!!

[Deb294evr]

Thanks Julie!! Glad you stopped by. Yes, LC can get things under control pretty quickly!! I love it, always have and always will. Have the best time on your vacation!!! This is good practice for the rest of your life!

So this morning I did my official weigh in, down 3 again for the week!! I tell you what!!! I AM THRILLED that I am losing anything while working on IE. Yes, I would like to lose faster since summer is here, but I have to resist that mentality for ME. I would just spiral right back around to diet diet and another diet..

Today I have been working in my yard, got the garden planted and lots of trimming of my trees.. getting ready to open the pool!!! of course this reminds me of bathing suits... blah blah blah... Just need to keep moving ahead with my plans and all will work out as it is supposed to!

Whoo Hoo Deb, down 3 lbs! You really worked your behind off in your yard. You will be in that bikini in no time! Like the new Avi. but making me hungry.

Thanks Maggie! Wish I had left more of my behind off in my yard...

Although I am not from an ethnic background, someone forgot to tell my rear end... Definately not a white girl booty...

Anyhoo!!! I don't see any bikini's in my future, but I do plan not to wear my ankle length skirt to swim in this year... Yep, my Avi makes me hungry too!! These lovely hunks of meat are what we are having for dinner.. Of course this is not my ACTUAL picture, but they do look like this...

Hope you are having a wonderful day Maggie!!!

It's going good, I have been running around with hubby most of the day. I had to come home and dose because I am using the hhcg drops so it got kind of crazy. . I need to get me some pellets but I am not ready for them to be spilling all over the floor and I can picture myself scrambling to get the ones in my mouth before falling to the floor. I am adjusting and doing fine. Ankle skirt swimwear, too funny!

Yes, that meat looks juicey and heavenly. Enjoy some for me.

Glad to hear you are doing well on HHCG!! Yes those pellets can be pesky little critters when they get loose!!

Keep on doing what you are doing, and I will enjoy some juicy ribeye for ya!!...

Thank you Meek! I think I may have put one back on with last night HUGE steak!!! .. OH well, lots of work to do today outside and around the house, so it will be gone soon. Hope things are going well for you too!!

Thanks Brenda Yes, P3 is almost here for you!! That steak was sooooo good!! tender, juicy.. you get the point!.. Hope your weekend is going good!!

[shari]

Congrats Deb!!! I think it's wonderful too to be free to eat whatever you want while learning your body's cues = success!! I tackled my back yard which was looking like a forest yesterday and am drained LOL. Hopefully you were able to rest some before returning to work today.
How sweet about you mom and son.

Thanks Shari!! I am holding tight on that 3 pound loss!... So for about 3 weeks now I have been learning and trying to practice the IE principles.. down 7.4 pounds in 3 weeks. OK, I could knock that out in a week or less of P2, but I THINK this is better for ME right NOW.

I am thrilled to read of all you ladies having having success with HCG, and I know I will not rule out a round, but for NOW, I am happy. I have a feeling as I get down closer to my goal, I may need a stall buster of some sort, but for NOW, I am good...

Yes, Shari, I did sort of rest yesterday afternoon by chilling in my air conditioning.. it was hot and humid here.. ugh.... Today I do feel refreshed, but just tired and not wanting to work. Wish I was RICH and could stay home and do whatever the heck I wanted....

Have a great week ahead Shari!.. glad you were able to tackle your forrest!!..

[Gracie514]

Good morning Deb! That is a fantastic loss for the week And you avi looks scrumptious If you are at peace with IE then that is worth more than anything!!!

Thank you Gracie, I agree!!! I am at peace with it and at times my head tries to take over and make me diet again, but I fight it... for NOW..

The one thing I have learned though, is how much I prefer to eat LCarb. It is natural to me, so this will work in the long run I am sure. I just don't beat myself up If I am not perfectly on plan.. Nope, won't do that again.

[MagieDen]

Morning Deb, sounds like your woe is working for you. Have a wonderful Monday!

Ahhhh don't be too jealous I still have to go through the dreaded week 2 and all the other stalls, slow downs, possible hunger(physical & mental ) I bet I talked you out of a possible P2 in the future? Enjoy the foods you can eat, with the protocol it is feast(fat loading) then famine(vlcd). But not the way you would do it, so it's all good.
