Geesh – who would have thought of a one pound loss this late in the game? Seriously, I was SO not expecting that! That is for sure!

Thank you all for the very kind words in my comment section and also the emails. How sweet you all are to read my talk talk everyday and to take the time out to leave a comment. You have no idea what a motivating factor that is.

I cannot believe I am 195 pounds. Ok, 195.6 but still it’s 195! WOW – I am on the down hill stretch with this round. The last three weeks. I can’t remember if I wrote this in my blog or if I said it while chatting with some friends, but I am looking forward to ending this round for only one reason. I am really tired of having to think about making three different meals for my family.

I have to think about mine, which is pretty mindless in itself. I have to think about my sons, who is still in Phase 3 (the no sugar and starches phases) and then I have to think about my husband, my other son, and my daughter – who really don’t like Atkin’s friendly stuff. OMG! My mind is going NUTS! I just want to be DONE with it all for awhile, ya know? I am not looking with eager anticipation like I did last round to Phase 3 – just wanting to take a break from the whole menu thing.

I am only 7.8 pounds away from my goal for this round. I think I might have understated my goal, but I just wanted to desperately get under the number I had gotten to when I was on Atkins – I saw that number “188″ back on Dec 2, 2003 – and then steadily gained and lost, gained and lost until I started this protocol on June 23, 2007 at 250.8 – so this is a pivotal number for me.

WOW – in the 190′s and almost half way through at that!

My sister has sent me some clothes. They are waiting for me at a friends house 2.5 hours away. We were supposed to have gone there this weekend but the plans got canceled. My husband and boys are headed there this upcoming weekend, so they will be able to get them for me. I can’t wait to see them. My sister has the COOLEST clothes. I always LOVED raiding her closet. When I fit in them that is! ROFL! Now that she has lost all this weight, she has no use for these anymore, so they are MINE MINE MINE!

I used to do this little thing with her … I would be wearing something of hers and she would notice, and she would be like, when did you steal that? And I would be like, um, this? I found it in my drawer, I thought you gave it to me! ROFL – My sister, I love her to death, have you gotten that already?

Oh and Mom? Your guy came so incredibly close to winning last night … sorry … LOL! Love ya Mom!

Have a wonderful sunshiny day everyone!

*Ok – Since I am being MORE than candid in my reports (updates), I have to state that I really don’t know how much I weigh today. My son, who had his last injection on Thursday had to head out of town so I let him take my GOOD scale. He has far more important weigh ins for today and tomorrow than I do. I have my OLD scale that I am using. I made sure yesterday that I placed my OLD scale in a spot on the floor that it wouldn’t move so I could be reasonably sure it would weigh me semi correctly. I weighed myself yesterday on both scales and marked down both weights. I know the difference between the two – so anyhoo, just for kicks I weighed myself on my OLD scale and it says I lost two pounds. Oh well … I just know that isn’t true, so I am giving myself a .6 loss and will wait until I know for sure on Monday morning.

So that out of the way, I didn’t do my Thai Salad yesterday, but instead I mixed up some Taco Seasoning from Renee’s site and I had Beef Fajitas for lunch and Shrimp Fajitas for dinner! Don’t worry folks, I gave Miss Renee my recipe for the fajitas which I am sure she will post. You will need to go over to HCG RECIPES and join her blog to get updates on her recipes! I went there this morning and she posted my recipe for Creole Catfish! How utterly cool is that! We are working together on some of my recipes so stay tuned!

My good friend JPS had passed down a pair of brown slacks to me. Remember my brown pants story yesterday? Well these are a completely different pair. I slipped them on yesterday and during the day, I kept having to pull them up. I was like, what is WITH these pants. It didn’t even register that they might have been TOO BIG for me! What is funny is that it took tripping on the bottom of the legs about 5 times yesterday before I finally said, this is NUTS! I can’t fit in these things! Seriously, there was NO thought in my head that they were too big. My mind wouldn’t let me comprehend that they were too big!

Now let me explain something here. JPS is about 30 pounds lighter than me. She wore these pants on the last round until they literally FELL OFF HER. Every time she would come to my house with these pants on I would laugh and tell her that they were TOO BIG for her butt and that it was TIME to give them to me. She never wanted to part with them. NEVER. Finally she had to. Now, I waited TOO long to wear them! OMG! So, I will wash them and give them back to her proudly! HA!

You know, I thought about setting up a interim swap thing for people losing and needing clothes…but by the time you go off and send them they probably wont fit in them anymore! OMG!

Miss Lilly is supposed to be sending me some stuff this week. Some large shirts. I said, don’t be surprised if I have to send them back! ROFL

Ok, I know I keep telling you to be prepared for something brewing behind the scenes, well, we are ALMOST ready for release … it will be all goose pimply I promise!

TOMORROW IS PICTURE/MEASUREMENT DAY!

Well how about that? Another .8 pounds bites the dust! So now, the countdown begins … let’s see here, let’s figure this out …

6.8 pounds till I reach the 50 pound mark
7.8 pounds till I reach the under 200 mark

Oh yeah baby! WOO HOO!

What was my food yesterday – Oh yeah, I had my Thai Beef Cucumber Salad again, gotta love that! Cucumbers don’t stay very well in my fridge so I have to use them up fairly fast. So it will probably be the same for lunch today, plus, I absolutely ADORE that salad! It’s a treat! For supper, I tried my hand at one of Renee’s Recipes – Shrimp Fried Rice – but instead of shrimp I used chicken. I have to tell you, that as far as presentation is concerned, it didn’t look all that good, but when I tasted it? Oh yeah baby! It was simply ONOLICIOUS!

Today is FRIDAY!!! Sunday is measurement and picture day! I think this time I will be putting three pics side by side – beginning of protocol, end of first round and progress with round two. That should prove to be interesting.

So I have these brown elastic pants – they SAY they are a 22W – but I purchased them from Wally World at the same time I purchased a pair of black pants and the black ones were always MUCH bigger than the brown ones, yet they were marked the same size. I had to get rid of the black ones a while ago because they were just way too big. The brown ones at the end of round one were still semi fitting. Yesterday … I was sitting on my couch talking to my sister on the phone, and looked down at my pants and I was like, DANG, these things are loose. So after my call ended I went to the bathroom mirror to see what they looked like from behind, and I was like, EWWWWWWWWW – I could be a GANG member in these things! OMG! Into the bag going to Goodwill they went.

In fact, I spent some time yesterday going through some clothes to give away this morning. I told someone yesterday (Hi Martha!) that this is the very first time in my life and experience of dieting that I actually feel comfortable getting rid of my ‘fat’ clothes. I don’t feel compelled at all to keep them “just in case”. First time I actually feel that this time, the weight will STAY off. WOW – when that realization hit me, I was like DANG!

Ok – so what is with that pic up in the corner? HA! My sister and I had so much fun with that yesterday! We were designing ourselves! She cracked up said it looked JUST LIKE ME! HA! I wish I looked that good! I am going to change it for every 10 pounds I lose and so you have an idea of what I look like. If you want to make your own, go here. So she made one of herself, here is hers:

If anyone out there knows my sister, this is what she looks like! Honest to goodness! From the capris up!!! WOW! I was cracking up when she sent this to me! HA! I love my sister to pieces, do you all know that? She is the best in the world. I HEART YOU MISS LILLY! She is the one responsible for getting me on this protocol ya know? Gotta love her for all sorts of reasons.

We made some with bathing suits, wont be sharing those with you as of yet. HA! But that was fun, we laughed and laughed!!!

Ok – that is all for today, I have to get my day started. Can you tell I am having fun???
