~Giving Thanks on this Special Day~

Although every day should be "thanksgiving," today is the official Holiday.  The reason I say that. is because I don't think we give enough praise to the things we have & are thankful for.  I'm guilty of it, I definitely take the "small stuff" for granted. 

I want to give a BIG thanks to my wonderful family!! Without them, I wouldn't have anything.  I don't say it often enough, but I truly am grateful for both of my parents & my siblings, including my nephew!!  They have always been there for me, even when I was a snotty teenager, trying to do the opposite of everything I had been taught.  Sorry, Mom! :) 

I am thankful for my dearest friends, the ones who are *always* there for me, when others have not been. You know who you are & I am grateful for you. I am thankful for my job, I know a lot of people are being laid off & some just don't have work.  I am grateful to have a secure, steady job & I know that I am appreciated there (more than I know if that makes sense..haha! I don't give myself enough credit for my work, I've been told)  I am thankful for the house I live in (thanks Mom & Dad, one day I will move out...again!), the shoes on my feet, the hair on my head, the warm clothes I have, my car that gets me to where I'm going, without a fit.  There are SO many more things that I am grateful for, if I listed them all, you'd be reading all day! 

Since this is my "HCG" site....I also need to give thanks to Hcg, without it I would still be unhappy & miserable in my own skin.  I am truly grateful for my Auntie Connie, who shared this little secret with us & for helping us in every way possible.  I am also thankful for my Hcg friends, I've met some wonderful people on the online postings &  they have always been there to help & reassure ANYONE who need its!  Thank you girls!! ANd guys!!! Without you, I probably wouldn't have made it this far!!! And for once in my life, I'm kind of excited to start another round in January! I really feel the VLCD helps you think about what you're putting into your mouth & I feel better doing it!! This next time I will definitely try even harder than I did on the first round!! I WILL be skinny!!! :)

Thank you again for reading my posts, sometimes they may bore...but I try to keep them funny & non-boring!! :) Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving, filled with Family, Friends, good (healthy) Food & Fun!! Be safe if you're traveling!!!

cRaZY!

I am OBVIOUSLY over the whole "blogging every day" scenario.  I am on Day 5 of Maintenance & I feel pretty damn good if I say so myself!  I gained once, or twice a little bit (which is normal might I add) but I've been losing lately! WEIRD! Like today.... .9 down! I even ate an egg at 10:30p last night!!! I for sure thought I would gain...but I'm doing well.  I decided the LIW should definitely be last Friday's weigh in...I have to stay within the 2lb rule, or else!! These 3 weeks are incredibly important to the future!  You go above, or below the LIW 2lbs or more & it really screws with your hypothalamus & you will gain!!! And it won't be pretty, nor easy to get back off.   So, I am going to stay within & just work it.  Since I'm already planning on a round 2, I don't think I should "cheat" the system by losing too much.

On a non~diet note....Mom, Candice & I saw NEW MOON last night at Gateway!! We had the 7:30p showing.  So delightfully good!! I could cuddle with Jacob ALL NIGHT LONG!! Frankly, I could cuddle with Jacob & Edward...I would definitely take Jacob over Eddy though, sorry sweets!! :) I have a thing with muscles & a tan physique. DELISHUSH!!!  I wasn't able to finish the 2nd book, but that's okay.  I will finish it up soon.  There were some "teenage" girls in the theater screaming in parts of the movie & I wanted to shush them with super glue!! :) Let us adults enjoy the show kiddo's!! They should've been in bed anyway, right?  13 going on 3! LOL

Check out my other blog!! I have NON~HCG related recipes on there!! LOL!

~Steak Day...kind of~

So....technically I didn't neeeeeed to do a "steak day," but I did.  I had nothing for breakfast, nothing to eat for lunch, drank a ton of water & had some nuts & a steak for dinner.  I did a detox bath last night...just because & I'm hoping that this semi~steak day helps on the scale, along with the bath! :)

So I'm up 1.3 (OMG OMG OMG!!!) from LIW= last injection weight (for me it's drops, not injections) but...the day after, I lost 2.5 lbs!! I want THAT weight to be my LIW!!! HAHA! :) I am going to lose it, whatever I have to do!!

It's *OFFICIAL* I have decided to do ROUND 2 in January!! This tinsy bit of gaining is getting to me & I have no reason NOT to do another round...Only this time it will be 23 days, not 43!! Can I get an AYYYYMEN!?!?! And the only thing I have to lose is....POUNDS & INCHES!!! WOOO HOOO!!!

None too late...

SO...I've obviously been lagging in the blog-writing. Basically, because I gained over the weekend & I didn't feel like *shouting* it out to the World :)

On another note...I AM ON MAINTENANCE!!! WOO HOO!!

On anotherrrrr note....I had my interview today....went in feeling positive!! I left, feeling: "I shouldn't have said this....I should have done that.....Why didn't I ask this?" But such is life! I did *MY* best & I'm happy I was able to interview, regardless!! A BIG thank you to my *good* friend, for telling me about the opening. She's the bomb dot com! :) Ya hear that?? BOMBDOTCOM! :)

This morning after my interview, I came home & made an omelet. A REAL omelet. It was delicious. I put some cheese in it, so hopefully I don't gain tomorrow. I know we are supposed to limit cheese.   I had a salad (again) with grilled chicken, mushrooms, cheese, & cucumbers.  It was pretty dang good! I used a homemade ranch dip, that my sister made. Thanks, sis!! :)

That's all I have for now....Enjoy this exciting blog! <3

WOOO~~HOOO!!

I think HOT GREEN (is that even a color?? if not i'm happy to make it up! lol) is a good color to start this blog off today!!!! I'm sorry for not writing yesterday, lonnnng night :) I'm GLAD I had a long night, because I burned off a TON of calories (I guess!).  I weighed early this morning and was down .8 & then I weighed in again (after I went back to sleep) & lost MORE!!! So I am officially down 1.7 today!!! YAYY!!!! I couldn't be more happy!!! Friday the 13th brought nothing but good news!!!!

I applied for a job a few weeks ago, in Layton  & I heard back from them earlier this week.  I had to go in and take an analytical test (not easy!) and they called me back yesterday, Friday to "invite" me to an interview!!! 400 people applied for this job!!! Only 65 were called to take the test....now that is something to be proud of!!! Whether or not I get this job (I reeeeeeeeally want it!!!) I am happy that I did MY best & that's all I can do!  If it's meant to be, it will be!!!!  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job now....I have been there 8 years, but there is no room to grow.  This other job would be a great experience for me!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

I probably won't be writing again tonight...so this post will count for 2 blogs!! Thanks for all the positive wishes!!! You've all been so great through this whole experience!! I thank you all for that!!!

<3 & xOxO!!!

Don't mind the Cheerios or the messy room! Sorries!

30, fLiRtY & ThRiViNg!!!!

No.....I didn't turn 30 today!!! But....I did get to my goal!!! 30lbs!!! 30.3 to be exact :)  I am SO excited!!!! And proud!!! This is a major accomplishment for me, not only because of the weightloss.  A good friend of mine asked me a very interesting question today....(something I hadn't thought of in 7 weeks) She asked if I had ever completed a GOAL that I had.  She knows me VERY well!! :) I thought about it & I said, NO. I haven't!!!  :o) So DOUBLE YAY!! It's a pretty big milestone for me!!!

Tomorrow we start the NO drops!!! Still 500 calories though....Ahhhh!!! The next 3 days (before Maintenance) should be very interesting....if I'm grumpy towards you, it's because I'm HUNGRAYYY! Don't hate! Just ignore me, ignore me and give me a big hug!! Then go home...eat a bag of PB M&M's and call it a night!! HAHA!!

Another happy note....tomorrow is *f*R*i*D*a*Y*~!!!! YaYYY and a half!!! Last day of work, before the weekend!!! WOO HOO HOO!!!!  I hope ya'll have a fantabulous evening!!

Toodaloo!! <3 xOxO
