THANKS Fellow HCGer's
I wanted to thank Susan for her comment on my last posting - then it started to turn into a blog so here goes....
Thank you Susan... I really appreciate your encouragement. I'm back on plan but feel like I've started all over. Didn't gain it all back but I get really frustrated with myself. I need to really learn to forgive myself and keep moving forward. But sometimes I just get caught in the mire and muck and want to give up. But I have two wonderful kids that keep holding me up and encouraging me too! And all of you with the great words and sometimes pulling me along kicking and screaming. I woke up and prayed this morning "Lord, just help me make it through this day and I'll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow..." And it dawned on me (another DUH moment)! How'd I loose the weight with WW and with HCG before??? I mean for God's Sake - I've lost 80ish lbs... That's nothing to stand and mock at! I took it 5 lbs at a time and some days 1 lb at a time. I also didn't weigh daily. I looked at my measurements more than the scale. I looked at "None" scale victories. I've been so focused on just getting rid of the fat - my focus and balance have been completely off! So, this morning I weighed 221.4 lbs. My new focus will be 1 day at a time, 1 bite at a time, and I'm only focused on 5 lbs at a time. And I found a calculator and to be at 20% BF it looks like I've got about 50 lbs to get rid of which if the calculations are true would leave me around 170 lbs. I calculated this based on my current lean body mass and the essential fat that is needed to maintain healthy body function. So, we shall see as I get down that direction.
I will only be weighing and measuring hence forth 1 time per week. This will start tomorrow since I've been taking measurements on Tuesdays. I'll continue to blog but will only update my weight and measurements 1x per week. My counselor wants me to throw away my scale - but that's not where I am at yet in my journey. Quite honestly at this point I'd be ecstatic to lose 15 - 20 lbs by the end of this round.
Breakfast: Grapefruit & Americano
32oz. Green Tea
Lunch: Large Romaine Lettuce Salad with Chicken portion & Apple
32oz. Green Tea
Dinner: Planning on Steak with Salad
