Crazy Dream

Hello all - man did I have a silly one. I was with a bunch of boys, so I assume it was the scouts - just couldn't really focus on anyone - but we were at a pizza place waiting for the pizza and then one of the boys offers me one of those yummy Pizza Factory breadsticks - and I take one, put it in my mouth and bite and then - PANIC! "Oh, no, what have I done? I just ruined my HCG diet" I quickly spit it out -- and then I wake up -- I shot right up and sat up and then it all finally dawned on me -- "ok, just a dream -- I really did not eat that breadstick" - whew!! Silly crazy subconscious mind.

I was at 231.6lbs this morning which was a 2.4lb drop since yesterday. I am now -5.8lbs since starting the HCG and -10.2lbs since going on the 500cal part of it. It took 3 days to lose the 10.2lbs and last time took 5 days to lose 10.8lbs -- so I'm expecting my body to get back to where it was before and then it'll start being the normal 1-1.8 a day. I can't imagine losing another 10 in 3 days -- but we'll just have to see I guess.

Had a great Scout roundtable last night. That is where all the leaders in the district get together once a month for training -- as every boy deserves a well trained leader! Nathan and CJ have a backpack/campout tonight that I decided not to go too. Just not enough energy in me to do that much vigorus activity on only 500cal a day - so next time for sure -- just not next month -- our district fall camporee is Sept 25-26 and that is my Mr Olympia weekend in Las Vegas -- plus I get to see my Aunt Mary, Uncle Jim and cousin Theresa which will be awesome - oh yeah, and my nephew Andy will be there! lol

Ok - well - have fun - see you on the weekend!

Back to School day

Last night was a different event in the Weidman household. I gave the Father's blessings for the children and only had to give to the boys - no Ann - first time in well...12 years I guess. I did miss that dearly, but life goes on to new adventures and happenings. I took CJ to the bus stop today and we were alone - no Nathan - he goes to the middle school now and can walk there. So, I went from taking Nathan to the bus stop, to taking Nathan and CJ to the bus stop to now just CJ -- and next year they will both be walking to school and won't need me -- (yes, a little sob there! - okay, a big one! ugh I'm such a cry baby sometimes!)

I lost 3.6lbs this morning - that's 7.8 in only two days - kinda weird, I'm sure tomorrow will be to the normal weightloss amount. Last time I only lost 10.8lbs in 5 days, so we'll see. I have a better mind set this time and that is helping out a lot. I see the food around the house but it doesn't bother me like before -- I have my meals and that's all for now.

At EYO (eleven year old) scouts last night we just showed how to make kindling from logs and create fire wood - then preceded to create a fire with the kindling on the bottom and logs in a "tepee" style -- we didn't start the fire because of the location we were in but they got the idea and had fun doing it - just something about boys, a knife and fire - what is that all about! lol

500 Cal 1st Day

No - I promise not to do every title like today but with the new day - just wanted to get this one out there.

It went really well. The 2 day binge took me up 4.4lbs to 241.8 - and I wasn't hungry one bit yesterday. Today my weight dropped to 237.6 which is a 4.2lb drop - putting be at just +.2 since starting (237.4) - so everything is going well as expected. Eating properly for those 2 days really helped a lot because I don't feel hungry now either - tomorrow the HCG should really kick in and then I'll be fine. Hopefully I will lose like last time and then I'll end properly to keep it off and back to the gym to build up properly.

Didn't have much else happen yesterday - so that's it folks!

HCG Binge Day 2

Man I have honestly never eaten so much junk in a 2 day period - and I've eaten junk before - just not back to back. Anyway, I am SO excited to get this 500 cal going tomorrow (never thought I'd hear me say that!). I'm just tired of adding weight. I went up 2.4lbs today and probably will gain another 2 something at tomorrow's weigh in - but it's okay - that's what will tie me over for the first 2 days until the HCG kicks in.

I've been doing the Family Indexing again the past two days - it's my new workout - since I can't workout properly on this diet I've decided to use the hour for the indexing - plus our ward has been taken over from our first place spot in the stake by the 4th ward - and so they need my speed and power! :)

Nathan got his schedule today and CJ was last week - so they are both ready to go. Nathan get's to start an hour later -- but I doubt CJ will let him sleep too much in the mornings as he is getting ready. Anyway, I wish them well -- kinda weird not giving a Father's blessing to Ann anymore...I really miss that.

Bye now - see you all tomorrow!

HCG Binge Day 1

Ugh! I guess I must be doing it right this time because I just want to throw up -- I have been eating so much "junk" that it's making me sick - last time I only ate some and was pretty hungry my first 2 days on the 500 cal days -- so as not to repeat that I am eating the 3000+ cals that is suggested and yeah, it's tough. I honestly never thought that I would hate eating zingers and cookies - but I do now - and I still have tomorrow.

I know, I said I reached my goal of 20lbs before - so why am I doing it again -- well....I didn't follow plan completely and I didn't get rid of my belly (which I am call my "pudge") completely and so I'm going for that - and since I now know I can do this and that it works I will try and do it correctly and properly this time.

PBS has a Julia Child special tonight with some of her shows being shown (it's their pledge drive) so I taped it and am watching it - it's really interesting watching her, being the pioneer of television cooking and the difference between the food network people today - but I sure do enjoy that woman!

Good night all - and I hope my belly can rest up enough for round 2 tomorrow!
