07/02/2011 – Visiting the Past

This is a page from my previous blog.  Back when I believed calories in- calories expended=weight loss.  I spent the summer riding my bike 200 miles a week and trying to diet.  I used the Adkins modified diet.  In 5 months with 6-day a week hard exercise and reduced calories, I lost 9 whole pounds. [...]

05/30/2011 VLCD14 – Good & Bad

195.0lbs. 90mg Armour Thyroid – .28 HCG Saturday, I did a bike ride.  13 miles at around 13mph.  I felt good except in the climbs, that surprised me.  I thought I was going to have trouble for the whole ride, but was able to lead the group well, except for the climbs.  Saturday morning I weighed in [...]

05/27/2011 VLCD11 – Up & Down

195.0lbs. 90mg Armour Thyroid – .28 HCG Yesterday was interesting.  We had a client function that required us to bring in catered food and spend the afternoon with it.  Empanadas, crackers, cheese, desserts etc.  Usually I would have eaten some of the carb food, got ravenous and consumed tons of calories.  Although I ate more [...]

05/26/2011 VLCD10 – Again

194.0lbs. 90mg Armour Thyroid – No HCG shot today There was no headache yesterday.  I added non-protocol food, although I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.  All I do know is there was relief from the pain and that was good.  Today will be scary as I have to host a [...]

05/24/2011 VLCD8 – One More Day

05/23/2011 VLCD7 – Another Day

198.0lbs. 90mg Armour Thyroid – .28 HCG Another day.  Yesterday I cheated, with a vengeance.  I was told to skip my shot, which I did.  No food until 11am, and then I was crazy hungry.  Crazy hungry, insane headache, sharp pains in my shoulders neck and spine.  I just knew it was the diet, lack of [...]

05/22/2011 VLCD6 – The Big Cheat

198.6 Armour thyroid – no HCG this is a skip day. I gave up on myself again today.  So, the other reason why I’m still fat. Is it that I just don’t love myself enough?  I’m sitting here now trying to see the reason, the motivation behind making the bad choices that I did this [...]

197.4lbs.

I find it fascinating that [...]

198.8lbs. 90mg Armour Thyroid – .20 HCG So, am 5 days into this.  The week wasn’t a total success in terms of strictly adhering to the protocol of the diet.  I was trying to ‘wing it’ too much.  I think I’m back on track now.  It is so good to see my weight nudge below [...]
