Round 2

I just started my second round.  We finished the 1st last Friday on the 25th.  I lost a total of 17 and Tom lost 30 pounds.  Most people are advised to finish phase 2 and 3 completely before starting another round, but I have zero patients for such things.  I want this weight off!!
We were off the diet and just ate well over the weekend, we then had our loading days Tuesday and Wednesday.  I gained 3 pounds loading or course Tom only gained .5 pounds.   I am hoping to lost 6.6 pounds this first week and be in the 140's by next Thursday when we leave for Vegas!  I am very happy with the first round considering the rogue diet that we choose and some of the drinking that we did.  :Cool: 

I changed to ticker at the top to reflect the total loss that I want from completing all the rounds.  I want to be back to 125.  That was my pre-pregnancy weight.  It puts me at a size 4/6.  After completing the first round I went from a size 14 to a size 10.  I will post some more 'after' pictures from of trip to Vegas. 

Amazing Italian Wedding Soup

We just had the most amazing Italian Wedding soup.  I must share the recipe ASAP!  

First we made meatballs out of 97% lean ground beef

One Egg

Little Onion

1 package onion soup mix ( I used lipton, I had it laying around)

Parsley or other seasoning.

2 malba toasts

Tom made the meatballs then pan seared them, then in the oven for 20 mins.

While he did that I made the soup.

Sweat onion and garlic in 1 cup no fat chicken broth.

After these start sweating add couple handfuls of spinach, cook off most broth as the spinach cooks.

Add the rest of the broth and seasoning, Salt, Pepper, ya know?

When the meatballs are done add them and a package of Miracle Noodles for about 10 mins till boiling.

I crushed up my meatball but Tom ate his whole, either was = SO YUMMY!

VLCD#30

We have 12 days left.  Hard to believe that this part of the diet is almost over!  We did our measurements this morning, I have lost 6 inches total this week.  Tom has lost 4 inches. This makes the total inches lost so far......
Skyla = 13 inches     Tom= 16 1/2 inches  WOW!

Slamming the diet

http://fatlosschronicles.blogspot.com/

I come across this dieter on the internet that is slamming the results.  She only lost 9 inches, I lost 4.5 last week, crazy huh?  She is saying that the diet was taking away her lean muscle....  First, she isn't even fallowing the diet right, she is having more one day then less the next.  She is adding more protein some days and cottage cheese like it's going out of style...  Lol

Good Loading Gorging

Since I haven't been losing the doctor suggested that I have another loading day to revamp my metabolism.   A good rule of thumb is to try to hit 5000 calories.  WOW!  Sound easier then it is, here is a list of everything I ate.

One Slice of Pepperoni Pizza

2 Fish and cheese sandwiches from White Castle

and a French Fry from there

Bag of BBQ chips

Bag of Doritos

M&M's peanut

An Amp energy drink

Baja Blast from Taco Bell

Fried Chicken from KFC

Cole Staw

Green beans

Mash Potatoes (All from KFC)

I wish I could have got more it, but I just couldn't.  This was only around 3000 calories.  LAME!  Lol

Hope this work and I start losing tomorrow!

Eating Out on HCG | HCG Guru

I have a couple tips for when you are out and about and need to eat.  You must be very careful with this though, because almost every fast food place adds sugar to EVERYTHING!

Chipotle - Fajita Veggies (20 Calories), Barbacoa (It's very lean at 170 Calories)Do not get the chicken - It's dark meat or steak -It's not lean, Tomato Salsa (20 Calories), Green Tomatillo Salsa (15 Calores) and Lettuce(10 Calories)  Total: 235

Burger King - The Tendergrill chicken salad, remove cheese and get lite dressing and only use very little.  Total:220

Arby's - Arby's Roast Beef with no bread (I usually just ask for 3 oz, I think this is the regular sandwich)  Total: 143

Wendy's - Small sized Chili - DO NOT eat the beans.  Total: 170
Garden side salad, remove carrots, half a packet of Fat Free French Dressing Total:90 

I have also had success (losses) with Windy's chicken patty with lettuce and tomato, no bun or condiments. 

Revamping my Metabolism

 I know this is rogue but I have had a very slow last 10 days, I have gone up and down around the same 2 pounds. I went in to see my doctor today and he suggested that I have a major cheap day and cram calories tomorrow, then go back on the 500 diet following.  He said this would revamp my metabolism back into losing mode. I has TOM (Time of Month, Lol) on the 12 day and I think it just totally mussed up the whole diet. I hope this works! I'll keep you guys posted on the results.  

Steak Day!

As you know I have been stalling all week.  I wanted to give the diet a kick start back into gear.  I decided to do a "Steak Day" right in the middle of phase 2.  Now usually Steak Days are only for phase 3 as a way of maintaining the weight from phase 2.  I thought this would work, I mean what do I have to lose?  Well it worked!  I was down 1.5 pounds this morning!  Tom was also down 1.5.  :]

We drank normal all day then had an 8 oz steak with a large tomato.  You can have an apple instead.  I was very hard to get down the 8 oz when we are used to eating the 4oz.  Glad it worked!
