day 8 p3 146.2 -6 LIW

so I am happy with that. I ate movie popcorn w/butter and licorice. A also had a few bites of top roman. So this is good. I have zumba tonight. Which means I might be up tomorrow. I always seem to go up the day after zumba. thats okay. I feel great. I actually like to be naked right now. I like my body. It has been along time since I have felt that way.

day 7 p3 145.6

up a bit but very happy. We went out to dinner last night and I didn't do to bad.....to start with. I ordered steak, steamed veggies, and salad. The salad had a Marion berry vinaigrette, very good, but sweet (sugar) I then couldn't resist one of my husbands loaded potato skins, so I had half. I did have a couple of drinks, Gin and soda. So after a few of those I started eating onion rings. I did pick most of the crunchy part off. We then went to a Mexican restaurant to sing karaoke, it was fun. I had a few, my husband and I don't agree on how many, mojito's with our sugar. I just add my own splenda to it. So after a bit off this I scarfed down a whole basket of chips. I shared them with my girl friend whom is also watching what she eats. We both watched the entire basket disappear into our guts. And then today we took our kids to the movies......Of course I had some popcorn and licorice. So I guess we will see how happy I am tomorrow morning. Like I said before. I really believe more in the 90-10 rule than anything. So if by working out on a regular basis, eating well 90% and then consuming 10% of the junk I want....I will be fine.

I do have to say though that after my popcorn I don't feel so good. I really don't like the "junk" like I used to.

day 5 p3 144.8 -2.0 LIW

I am very happy with this. I have started working out....alot. I do weight training 3x a week and zumba 3x a week. When I work out like this I tend to stay right around 140 ish and eat like I like. I am a big fan of 90%. 90% I am good and 10% I don't worry about. I usually allow myself one day off. If I want pizza I eat it. If I want a piece of cake I will have it. This helps me not do it during the week.

We are going out to dinner with some friends this weekend so this will be my first challenge. I will let you know how it goes

day 4 p3 146.8 LIW

okay so I am up.8 from yesterday. ugh. I know I am what my LIW is but I don't want to be here. I would rather be 2 under to give me a cushion. I know I know but that's how I am. I always seem to be up on the mornings after I do Zumba. Not sure why. That is an hour of working out harder than I have in a LONG time. When I leave that class I am winded. I feel like I have ran for miles.

am doing circuit today so we will see how tomorrow goes

day 3 p3 146.0 -8 LIW

Okay so today I am Super tired. I actually took an hour nap. I have not had to take one of those since I got my thyroid working earlier this year. I don't know if it has something to do with this phase or if it is just a fluke. If I keep feeling this way then I am going to go into my DR. and have them test my thyroid level. I hope this did not mess it up. It has been nice having it be correct.

So I did circuit training last night and really enjoyed it. I was an athlete most of my younger life and really enjoy being active. I forgot how empowered I feel when I do it. So I also have Zumba tonight. I am very excited about that. It is fun and everyone should try it.

Oh Taco Salads were wonderful. I also had some SF chocolate pudding. Yummy!!!!

day 2 p3 146.6 -2 LIW

Okay I am still alive. Sorry for being gone for some long. I will wrap up the last few days fast. On my last injection I was 146.8. Saturday I woke up at 146.2 :) And then I went out to lunch with my mom....I caved and had food. Not alot but it sure wasn't on the "diet;" I woke up Sunday at 147. Back on the plan. Monday I was 146.0 another :). So onto p3 I am.

I have found this bread that is made from sprouts and it is really good. I actually had a sandwich yesterday. It made me feel normal. I also started working out again. I like the weight I am at. I have been here before and it is good. I like it better when I am in shape. So that is my next step. I will be doing Zumba (so much fun) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and I will be doing weights on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. So this should get my body rockin before Jamaica.

Tonight I had a Taco Salad. I will let you know how tomorrow goes

day 19 vlcd AND LIW 146.8

well yeah me. What a way to finish the last shot. I am sooooooooo excited. This is a good weight for me. Especially when I am working out, which I start back up on Monday,. I am looking forward to my next phase. I have been re-searching it and planning. I don't want to go crazy.

I am going to spend this weekend getting ready for the next step. deciding what I would like to eat. What I can go with out (to drink diet coke or to not) I am also going to reflect on what I have learned. What my plate at lunch should look like. The fact that I need more than diet coke to drink. Do I really need a latte, oh I can't wait to have one. where does my tea fit into this. I like the way I feel. I like that my body doesn't feel sluggish. I like the fact that it is working like it should. I also like the fact that I am not sleepy after I eat lunch, carb over load will do that to ya. I am WAY more aware of what I put in my mouth. I am also WAY more aware of what my family is putting in their mouths. My husband and those damn chili dogs and beer. I want to make this be me. Not a dieting me, not a for a short while me.....but me. Yes I imagine I could go another 6 or 10 pounds but this is good. At this weight and moderate exercise I really don't have to work to hard. I have 4 girls I work hard enough.

So we will see what the scale says tomorrow. TOM is going to be visiting soon.....yeah me. Actually I mean that. Once again, I have four girls and want no more. So every time TOM comes it is a good thing
