It worked, it worked, it worked!!! Yippee!!!

I'm SO thrilled that the "steak-day" did exactly what it was suppose to do which was to bring me back down to my "safe" range (within 2.2 pounds of my Last Day Weight -LDW- when I was on the HCG). Yippee. To be honest, it wasn't bad - I wasn't really hungry until it was 7:30 and I had cleaned at a friends house all day...got home and my wonderful hubby fixed my steak and I had an apple with it. Thankfully the scale this morning showed a much more delightful number of 146.4...WOO HOO!!!

Well...it's OFFICIAL - I'm having my FIRST steak day!!! :(

I am noticing the pounds come on more from starch type foods than from sweet type foods. Oh well - I wanted to see if this "Steak" day was ALL that it was cracked up to be. I woke up to the tune of 148.8 pounds so I will skip breakfast and lunch and have an apple & steak for dinner...this should reset my system and take me back to within my range. I'll let you know tomorrow.

So I've decided to take it as I'm fasting breakfast and lunch today...I'm not sure what the big deal would be if I had more than 1 apple.

A "Steak Day" for my Birthday???

Well - I did a WHOLE lot of snacking yesterday and unfortunately woke up to my FIRST overage on the scale...weighed 152 this morning. I went back to bed and weighed 1.5 hours later and weighed 147.8 - that's 2 ounces BELOW a steak day...not sure WHICH figure I should go with but I chose to go with the lighter of the two...it's my 40th birthday today!!!


Today I just ate what I want and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow - I'm fine with tomorrow being a "steak day" if it needs to be...we shall see. I'll let you know!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

Today I am 1 day away from the END of my maintenance...you wouldn't know it as I haven't stuck to the maintenance protocol in about a week and a half...each day I've been eating pretty much whatever I've wanted. Most days I've been in the 147 range. Yesterday I stepped out on the wild side and had Maggie Moos and a chocolate covered strawberry...this morning I was 145.6 - WOW...that is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I hope I'm not over tomorrow since I had DQ today...don't want to push it or anything!!!

This weekend is my 40th birthday and I've got BIG eating plans...hope I can make it through without a "steak" day...we shall see!!! I'll keep you posted!!!

I'm hanging within my range!!!

Well - it's been ALMOST 3 weeks (on Friday it will be 3 weeks:) since my last day of HCG where I was 145.8. I have found that the maintenance part has been a bit more of a challenge than I had thought - to not eat sugar or starch but though I've messed up quite a few times and SOMETIMES on purpose, I've managed to stay within range - mostly hanging around the 147 area. I'm ok with that so far. I've honestly been eating pretty much anything within reason that I want for the past week. On Friday night I went to a surprise 40th bday party for me and a friend of mine to the Melting Pot and then had another surprise 40th bday party for me on Saturday...thought for SURE I would be at a steak day but so far so good. We're planning to go to Thursday night to Fritz's ice cream with some friends and Saturday (my 40th birthday:) we're planning to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, I want to go to Maggie Moos for lunch and then to Lemp mansion for dinner...if I don't have to have a steak day after all of that...it will be AMAZING!!!

It's an Oreo Truffle day!!!

I'm SO excited - today is an Oreo Truffle day!!! Friday night a few friends and I are going out for her 40th birthday celebration to the Melting Pot.

I was all freaked out that there wouldn't be anything I could eat so my HCG rep Dawn (Hi Dawn:) set me up on a modified maintenance plan to be able to work my way into eating at the Melting Pot.


So to be ready for my big night out, today I get to have an Oreo Truffle and tomorrow I get to have a starch which I have picked as my Chocolate Chip Cookie that I have frozen.

Praying I don't have to do a steak day tomorrow - I'm at 147.2 today...a bit higher than I'd like to be but I'm still under my 2.2 pounds.
