Two steps back, one step forward

Hmmm...with this rate, I am in trouble!

Day one went well, until I baked cookies. Why you ask? Because that is what stay-at-home moms do!! LOL! I had to try a couple......

IT was one backslide, but it affected me. Oh, that and the one glass of Bourdeaux I had with dinner.

Yesterday...not even close. I ended up at the hospital most of the day with my sister in law and family as she had her little girl :) Of course, I did not have my drops with me, and I was gone all day :( I ate fairly well, and not a lot, but really, hospital food :(

Today is a crazy day. Up at 5am to take Adam to scouts for the day. Then I have to drive Derek to Lafayette for a gym clinic. Brad will need a ride to BOulder later. Luckily, being in the car so much, I won't eat!! That will help. But I will be tired tonight and that could be dangerous. I will be back!!!

OK...I can deal with the chocolate chip cookies, the yummy summer sausage, and cheese....but the bottle of bourdeaux will do me in tonight!!!!

Starting over....again

This should be the name of my blog. I am so bad at keeping track of things, but have decided that I need to have this outlet for moments just like the one I am having now.

So...to backtrack. I finished my first round of HCG in July. I was very successful. I lost 17 lbs total. I have gained 4 of that back. Not too bad. I made it through maintenance, and maintained my weight within 2 lbs until I did my gorge days.

So, for the purposes of this blog, I WILL be posting my actual numbers. I like accountability. I like numbers. And, honestly, if I could weigh in front of people, I would do better. So....turn your head if you don't want to see :)

I currently weigh 166.8. For those who can't do the math, I started the journey at 178. I am a solid size 14. Not where I want to be.

Ok..back to regular programming. I have had a GREAT day. This is Day 1 of my VLCD (very low calorie diet). So far, so good. Mornings are EASY! I can go all morning with my coffee, and be happy. Lunch was yummy! Crabmeat with hot sauce and green beans.....very good. Now...after 2pm....I want to eat. I am NOT hungry. I just want to eat. I just want to eat. No real reason. I haven't had any of my fruit today, with the hopes of saving it for when I get to this point. So, I plan to try an apple.

This tells me that I really eat for no reason. Boredom I guess, although I have been busy all day. Reward, maybe? For cleaning all the bathrooms? Everyone KNOWS that I deserve an award for getting 4 bathrooms clean when I have 3 men in the house ;)

But...I will be strong. Thus, the reason for the blog. I really think sometimes I will have well thought out messages, about my well-organized and productive days. However, those who know me well know that I will ramble on with no good information as well. (see this post for evidence).

When I am feeling the want to eat (not a need....we shall call it a want), I will blog. I also have my craft room set up, and can work in there. OF course, I can always clean and organize, but I am usually trying to avoid that. So, the blog will be my lifeline, my support. And anyone out there who is insane enough to follow will be there too.

Wish me luck!!!
