R3 LM D45.... Maintenance Photos!

Well, I said I would be accountable and keep up with photos. So here is today. The first photo is at the end of my 3rd round on 3/4/10 (with a lot of self tanner :). The second is 4/9/10. And the last is today at 5/29/10. It has been almost 3 months since my last round. My weight in the first photo is 144.4 my original LIW. The second is 149.8 after adding excercise and locking in. The last is today at 149.4 where I seem to want to stay.

After scrutinizing as much as I can, I think they pretty much look the same. I do think things are slowly tightening up with the exercise. I still wish my butt and thighs looked better, but overall I am pleased with the maintenance. Let me know what you think. As usual, I could be off my rocker and you guys will tell me to consider another round:) Then again when I put in in perspective, I really can't complain..... :)

R3 P4 D16....

Man I thought for sure I would be down today, but I am up instead! My original LIW was 144.4. After workouts started, I raised that to 147.2, since that was where it was staying. As of this morning I was 149.8. So thats 5.4 above original and 2.6 above my adjusted LIW. I did not get done with my weights workout last night until 9:30pm, so that could have something to do with it. Also, this TOM is strange. It was 3 weeks late, and I usually gain 3# right before I start and then lose while on TOM. This time I didn't gain before but am up during TOM. I am not sure what to think. I think I will wait until it is gone and then see if I want to try correcting. I took measurements, but they were the same. I also took pictures and compared them to the end of my round which was 37 days ago. I started my workouts 32 days ago. The ones on the left are from the end of last round, and the ones on the right are from this morning. Let me know what you think. Do you see a change for the worse? Don't worry, I can take it if you tell me I need to wake up and get my butt in gear correcting :)

Here is what I ate today:

Nutball

1 egg + 3 whites with sprinkle of bacon and cheddar

2 slices ezekiel with cc and fruit spread

cheeseburger(no bun), 1/2 choc shake

cottage cheese, strawberries and cantalope

broccoli with ranch

almond flour biscuit

string cheese, 2 sf candies, 7 glazed almonds

Workout: 30 minutes 1 on 1 volleball, 30 minutes incline treadmill with 2 sprints.

About Me

I lost 75 lbs between Jan. 9, 2009 and March 4th, 2010. I lost the first 35 on my own and then hit the plateau. I started my first round of HCG on Aug 19th, 2009 and finished my third round March 4th, 2010. I maintained that pretty well thru the end of the year. Then all hell broke loose and so did the diet :) I regained about 25lbs of the 75lbs I lost. I started HCG again, and then with a lot of research realized that maybe HCG was not the answer. I am now in the process of learning lifelong eating habits, and also learning more about my metabolism and how to make it more effective. This is my journey....

p2 Recipe Ideas

Almost Chili: Portion lean hamburger or chicken, portion tomato,salt, pepper, chili powder,cumin. Cook meat in frying pan. Add tomatoes and maybe a TBSP water and the spices. Simmer till heated thru. SO GOOD!
Strawberry Chocolate Sorbee/Slush: portion of FROZEN strawberries, 1/2-3/4 cup water, few ice cubes, 1 TBSP cocoa powder, stevia to taste. Blend until smooth. Need a really good blender or set strawberries out to thaw a little bit before hand. This was really good.
Strawberry Ice Cream: cottage cheese portion, frozen strawberry portion, stevia to taste, tbsp of milk if you haven't use it today, drop or two of vanilla. Blend until creamy. Might need tiny bit of water to get it going in the blender.
Lemon Icee: 1/2 lemon juiced, 1 cup water, 1 cup ice, 1 stevia packet, 1 strawberry optional. Put in blender until icee texture. Yum!
Dressing for Strawberry Spinach Salad: 1/2c water, 1/4 white vinegar, 3 packets stevia, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds. Spinach with chicken, strawberries and this dressing is great.
