Closing in

on Round 4, and can I just say I can hardly wait? Or weight as the case may be? okay, I apologize for that one, that was cheesy, even for me LOL.

Today's weight, 129.4 (up 0.6 from the day before).

Today was interesting. The last few days have been brutal, extreme (and I don't use that word lightly) cravings, moodiness, and bloating and pain in my fingers and joints (thanks, sugar). Yesterday I was a total wreck, crying over the slightest thing all day, just an icky day where I kept

And the countdown begins...

I received my HCG in the mail today - it took only 7 days to get here, that's a record for me! I feel like starting tomorrow, that's how sick I am of how I'm feeling and looking right now.

But, at the tail end of TOM, I'm figuring I'll wait a couple of days past the last day to be sure it's over. Which means I could start as early as Friday with loading. We'll see.

I know I'll rock Round 4, at least the VLCD and P3, but I'll admit that P4 has me a little scared. That said, I do believe

Monday, Monday

Well, the weekend was a little crazy. TOM is in full force, and I completely lost it on Saturday, I was H-U-N-G-R-Y, and I wanted chocolate. So I had it. Lots of it.

Which meant that I gained exactly 3 pounds by Sunday. So, Sunday was an apple and cheese correction day, and I lost 2.1 of those 3 today. So, over the weekend the net gain was 0.6.

My HCG has cleared customs, so I anticipate receiving it tomorrow or Wednesday. Assuming TOM is completely over by the weekend, I may start Round

Holding Steady

The last two days I've been 127.8 and 127.6 respectively, so even if I'm not crazy at being at this number on the scale (and the bloated uncomfortable feeling that goes with it), I am pleased that I'm just staying steady.

The level of self recrimination I'm feeling is both silly and useful. Silly in that I'm in the twenties for goodness sake, a range I hadn't been steadily in since the mid 90s. Useful in that I'd rather catch it now than deal with a higher number. The twenties can become the

Here I am!!!

After a crazy few days, both on the scale and just life in general, here I am.

The scale fluctuated between 126.4 and 127.5 (with fluctuations up and down), and we had a whirlwind of social activities and eating of course.

As a result, I am on a major sugar rollercoaster again. I ordered HCG today, and am planning on doing round 4 as soon as my next TOM is over.

I'm going to do a couple of correction days this week and try to get myself down again. I would really love to be in the

PL Day 23 - 126.4 (-2.1, LDW +13.6)

Wow that was a nice loss!

Today was a clean eating day, eggs and cheese for breakfast (this has become my daily routine, and I enjoy it enormously), lunch was a little different, I mixed broccoli coleslaw with 2 TB of salsa ranch dressing by Litehouse (a new favorite), and 4 oz of chicken breast. I sprinkled a little shredded cheese on top, and voila! a nutritious, delicious and filling meal!

Dinner was 4 oz steak, and my veggie side was steamed kale (I sautee chopped onion and mushrooms

PL Days 18-22

It's been a crazy ride over the last few days, fluctuating from 124.5 on Friday to 128.5 today. We were traveling on the weekend, and that meant eating and *ahem* drinking, and junk food. Yesterday was a clean day until we had some evening errands to do (we bought a great used but new-to-us bedroom set for very little, the catch was it was an hour's drive away, so there went the evening), and dinner ended up being Taco Bell. Still lost 0.3 though.

Today has been clean, except for some
