Not too bad. I had some soup yesterday, and although I usually make it with a low sodium chicken broth, all I had available was Bouillon Cubes and so I have a feeling my loss was not as good because of the sodium. UGH – peeing like crazy today, so I know I am getting rid of the excess – no worries. Also, TOM is vicious, once again. UGH!
My Goals
I thought I would go ahead and talk about my goals for finishing protocol – as I am coming up to it pretty darn quickly. I don’t know when the HCG will tell me to stop, but I know where I don’t want to be, and that is anywhere where it’s not considered “Normal” or “Average” – I want to go until the HCG tells me to stop, but I don’t want to go crazy either.
As of today, at my weight and my height, I am still considered “Overweight” by the BMI charts – my number one goal for protocol has always been to get UNDER the overweight BMI as I want to be able to get life and health insurance and have no issues in doing it.
I don’t want to be SUPER SKINNY – I don’t like that look and I know it wont work for me. But I do want to be “average” whatever that means. I figure that the BMI charts say that “Normal” BMI for a woman is 18.5 – 24.9 – so to be “average” I am thinking I need to be at 22 BMI – that means my weight would be exactly at 128 – which actually sounds about right, as I remember being 130 all thru high school – I had a killer bod, I ran every other day for exercise and I looked good. I didn’t think so back then cause I had an anorexic friend that I would always compare myself to, but now I know what was realistic for ME – so my goal right now is 128 – but as we all know, that is subject to change.
My first goal was 150 lbs, because quite frankly, I never thought while I was at 250 lbs, I would ever get to 150 so that was the first number I picked. Now when I look at things a bit more closely and I am now UNDER 150 lbs, and I see some stuff that still needs worked on, my next ‘arbitrary goal’ will be 128 – when I get there I will again assess things and see what I should do again.
So hopefully, during THIS cycle, I will be able to get to my goal of 138 – so that I only have another 10 lbs to get to 128 – two cycles to be done by the time I am “supposed” to go to Hawaii. We shall see, everything is up in the air at the moment. And I do want to be on a reasonable place when I go to Hawaii, but I know I will have to go straight back on P2 when I get home from there! LOL
Hanna is on her way – no rest for the weary. They had called last night to tell us that baby girl had early dismissal today for school (90 minutes early), and then this morning at 8:30 they called and said that early dismissal changed to only a half day, so I had to go and pick her up – the weather is going down hill right now, and we have decided to bunker down here at our home. We said we would leave if it’s a hurricane, well it’s not, and so we are staying put.
But, as they say, it’s not over till the fat lady sings. And IKE is right behind this one, so we are still watching things closely. Keep us in your thoughts.

Have a great day! By the way? Thanks to all of you that have welcomed me back with your comments, I have not been ignorning you, it’s just taking everything I have to update – I will get back to normal after this weekend has passed.
