Crazy busy at work this morning.  I was assigned a listing to review with 752 data points (first time I reviewed it it took me a week), but I was able to finish it by noon thanks to good notes from the last time I did it, and my persistance with my boss, bugging her about what really didnt need to be done again.  Measured myself at lunch time, and though I think I look skinnier, my measurments arent that much different from last week. 

Tonight Im supposed to go to Masters Swim, but I think Im going to walk about work this afternoon instead.  Its gorgeous outside, and I need me some vitamin D.  I also need a break from the cleaning...or should I say the state of upheaval that leaves me reeling and feeling like I will never get out from all the crap I have and cant figure out what to do with.  Im not really a hoarder, I swear...

Just pigged out at lunchtime, so many delicious strawberries and chocolate sauce (I hate the Walden Farms chocolate dip, but love their sauce)...and I actually got hungry really early this morning, so I ate my chicken cold at my desk around 10am.  Feeling stuffed now, and need to get ready for a 2pm meeting, so off I go. 

Have wonderful days, my missees...

And let me know if you want me to order you anything special at the adult party I will be attending this Saturday night in honor of my book club gals Lindsay and Anne's birthdays...it should be a riot!

1.3 loss again yesterday...liking those numbers.  Definitely want to keep that up.  I realized when I was measuring myself this morning that I could picture myself at goal (130 or below) but I never really pictured myself in the in between stages under 150.  How is it that I can see myself acheiving my goal, but not making it to the 140s? So Im getting myself excited about that...I definitely want to see them by next week!!!!!

Here are my measurements for today...not too different from last week:

D4 of 3rd 4 Day Win: PHDR
Yesterday was a stressful day at work, but I was proud of myself for not eating just to stuff my feelings.  I felt some lack/attack when I found that I wasn't invited to an anniversary dinner of my group at work, arranged by my coworkers (I couldnt go anyway, but still), and some helpless and black and white thinking when I felt like I will be stuck in a position at work that doesn't challenge me (frustrating me further).  Since I was at work, though, and I only had my chili and my apple with me, I didnt have to worry much about stress eating...especially since I never let myself go into the cafeteria or get anything from the vending machine.  So its all good.  Im grateful that I am on this diet, and it is forcing me to deal with my issues without turning to food. 

3 month measurements

So looks like I gained about 2 inches on my waist in the last two weeks, and boy can I feel it.  Everything else seems about the same...

Measurement #3-Three Weeks Already?

So stayed at 171.4 today...pretty good since I'm so bloated from TOM. And yesterday was normally the heaviest day. Funny thing about yesterday is that I was not hungry AT ALL the entire day. I normally feel a little tinge when its time to eat, and yesterday, nothing. So I actually forgot to each lunch until 2pm (normally eat by 12), and dinner was at 7:30, since I forgot to eat while I was feeding the kids-too caught up in making sure the dishes were done and the kids were having fun.

Measurements this morning were good considering TOM (yes my lovely friend Tom...did you know that was my dad's name? (RIP)).   I'm down 3 inches overall since last thursday. Also, since I started, my body fat % has gone from 25.78 to 25.52 (well, its something) and my BMI has gone from 31.03 (obese) to 28.52 (overweight). Here is the overall table (click to see bigger):

Injection Day 1/Measurements

So after stressing for the last few weeks, I just gave myself my first injection and it was easy and painless. Had a very mild injection reaction (little rash and burning) 5 minutes or so, but other than that, all is good. Somehow now I have to binge eat for the next two days, when for the last week or so I haven't felt much like eating at all. Also, I need to drink at least 3L of water (96oz) a day.

I took all my measurements this morning, and will share them with you here...all figures are in inches if not indicated.

Heres a link to the protocol I'm doing in case you are interested, and I'm also posting a video by a Naturopathic Dr that performs this protocol with his patients so you can get an idea of what I'm doing (so Mom, its ok! Don't worry!):
