July 20, 2010, P2 Day 9

I am recovering from a horrendous cold. Detoxing maybe since I skipped phase 1? Probably. The debilitating hunger is gone. I actually feel pretty good. It is phase 2, day 9 and I am down 11.2 pounds!!!! I love it. Absolutely love it. I am not seeing it in my jeans yet but I look forward to when I do! Skinny body I am on my way back to you!!!! :D

Phase 2, Day 2. Day 1 was TRAGIC! I'm not even joking...I was sooooooo hungry!!!! Today was better...aaaaaaaaaaaad at weigh-in this morning I was down 4.6 pounds!!! Incredible!!!
It is VERY difficult to resist temptation. I love food. Food is so good and it feels so good and it's EVERYWHERE. But, I stick to this and refuse to fail. When I want to fail, I just look at myself naked. Ick. That usually helps.
I really hope the weight just keeps dropping off. I am really lovin this so far!!!

July 13, 2010 - Load Day 2

Weighed in this morning at199.0! Sweeeet! I'm super excited about my low cal days if I lost a pound on a load day!!!
I'm trying to focus on the positive and not on the daunting fact of what all is about to be eliminated from my regular diet. I have a diet buddy though now I think who found me via facebook. We started the drops on the same day.
I absolutely have to stick to this, as people around where I live know what I am doing and are watching me. If I fail, I now fail publicly. That is just not acceptable to me.
So, I drink my last soda, give my neighbor the stuffed crust pizza in my freezer that it's too late for me to eat now even on a load day, and prepare mentally for the next 2 months of my life.
I'm ready, I know I'm ready, I just have to dig deep and find the willpower to get it done.

Day 1, Load Day 1 - July 12, 2010

Started the drops this morning. Taste gagged me initially. Like rubbing alcohol. It was suggested that if I hold the drops under my tongue longer they won't taste so bad. Going to try that.

Took my measurements this morning after I took my initial weight. Both were depressing. We all start somewhere though right?

So...here are my beginning stats.

Height (just so ya know): Just under 5'4
Weight: 200.2
Chest: 43
Hips: 50
Stomach: 50
RT Thigh: 25
LT Thigh: 25
RT Arm: 14
LT Arm: 14

With those stats lurking in my brain all day, it was hard psychologically to tell myself the load days are necessary. *sigh* I hope this works...

Preparation Day 1 - Sunday July/11/2010

Purchased diet food Friday. I was nervous about this diet until I was portioning the chicken today and realized that 100 grams is actually quite a bit of chicken! I'm so excited about this whole ordeal. I hope it works...
Daily posts will include weight, measurements, and a video of me so you can see my progress. I'm pretty embarrassed about my current weight and measurements, but in order to track progress I gotta know exactly where I began right?
So...off to bed, ready for Day 1 tomorrow!!! :D
