So I was a bit short for the day but it was a busy day. The sun finally made an appearance so me and the kids bolted for the door. We hit the beach at a local lake less than 30 minutes from town.  I will have to strategically place suntan lotion to correct the burn I got :( Go figure. I should have known better with the lack of summer!

Holding steady at 181lbs.
It is my last day of elimination and I think I'll be adding a protein to the day. Not much to say today except, "hurry up day! End!" lol. I think I'm just bored at this point. You know I'm bored when the weather is all I can come up with to talk about. Rain again. This is not summer, it's monsoon season. This doesn't add up seeing I live in the B.C. interior. I have to say that this has been the worst 'summer' on record for weather. I've given up on seeding the lawn since it would just get washed away in the torrential down pours. My kids think it's great for making mud pies. My laundry piles are spring laundry piles. You know what I'm talking about. 3 changes a day with mud and dirt that is in everything and everywhere. I know that my vitamin D levels are low so starting tomorrow I'm going to have to take some suppliments. Either that, or go tanning soon! Maybe what I need to do is get some friends together for a tropical themed party. Only problem with that is every weekend is booked for the next three weeks. This weekend is the stag party for my soon to be cousin in law, so hubby will be at that. The next weekend is hubby's birthday and we're attending a "Halloween in July" party (think I may have mentioned this), and the last weekend is my cousin's wedding. Do Do DO! July Done! I also have to help plan the stagette here right quick! EEK! Okay, bored feeling gone. I better get work. 
Tomorrow I'll post my meals with counts again. I had better go soak some almonds for my almond milk. YAY! So happy to have that back again. 
Cheers! 

Second day of elimination and I'm down 1lb from last drops weight (LDW).

Not too hungry yet, so that is good. I'm making sure I take my b12 to help energy levels. I think these are the hardest days on the diet just because the mind is gearing up for the challenges of eating lots of calories again but I'm not allowed to eat yet due to the lingering hCG in my system. So I'm thinking food (evoo, almond milk, pork, flax seeds, blueberries, avocados, etc) but saying no...must... eat... only 500 calories...must... wait... 2 more days...(I hear Animal from the Muppets here lol) AHHHH! I'm good though :) 
About those no calorie noodles I bought....think I'll have to try a few more recipes with them. I'm not won over yet but we'll see how they do in a different dish. My first attempt was a spaghetti dish. I used the bison meat again with the organic, no sugar added, tomato sauce and spiced it up. The texture of the noodles are a problem for me. I prefer an al dente noodle while these are more gelatinous. Meh. I'll work on it and see what I can come up with. Pretty sure that I won't be buying them for everyday use but if I find a palatable dish then it could be nice while on vlcd. If I keep doing short rounds to get to my goal then none of the above will apply. It is just such a short time that I didn't get bored of the diet.  
So...comments please!! What does everyone think of my new site? Obviously I have a lot of work yet to go but I have a ton of recipes to sort through and put on here. I'm also working on a health and fitness page but I'm not sure I will get that published until next month. So much to do in July this year! I would love some creative criticism on how to improve and expand the site! Chime in fellow hCGers :)
 

R2P2D21 (-16.4)
LDW 182

Well, that's it. My body says, "All done!" I'll take it! (Like I have a choice, lol) I go for my fitting tomorrow morning so I hope my stomach doesn't come out too much when I start to eat more again on Saturday. Last time I lost more inches on M so I'm just going to roll with it! This dress is gorgeous. It is a shame I'll have to sell it after since I'm not paying to bring it in a second time. It'll cost me $340 by the time I'm done! :( The things we do for the people we love! I have to go find shoes today too...I tell you....I am getting a ton of pics of me that day!! It just so happens that my cousin is getting married on me and my hubby's anniversary (7 years). I'm going to look hot for this one! I will have to do some before and after pics anyway to mark my progress so this will work out well. 
I got my order in for Miracle Noodles today. I'll let you know how they taste and feel. Funny...I was so hungry this round, especially around tom, but now I'm not hungry at all. Just getting my groove on and I have to stop.

I started a blog on another page that I had to move here, so I had some comments from other people that I deleted making some of my previous entries sound strange or lacking :) So as of today I have completed the transfer of my log. This log is the last one I had to move here. Only took me a couple FULL days to do it, *phew*. Glad I'm done that!
R2P2D20 (-16.4) Flat...LOL

No surprise there! After my last 2 days, I bet my body needed a break to catch up. Either that or I hexed myself by saying I was at my goal, lol. I have not drank enough water in the last while so today I will make sure I get back on track. Last night I made the "oopsie rolls" dessert with egg whites. I have to give it 2 thumbs down. The texture was comparable to styrofoam and it stuck to the lips. I flavoured it with hazelnut cream stevia drops and
some regular stevia powder. Tasted okay but not enjoyable as a whole. They looked awesome though! LOL I ate it with an apple as the last of my strawberries had turned on me. Hubby tried one with some chocolate syrup and said he had might as well just squirted the syrup in his mouth. HA! I don't recommend wasting the 2 hours it takes to make these.
So tomorrow morning is last drops weigh-in!! I'm almost there! I vote yes to short rounds from now on. Seems
this was just long enough to get tiresome but not too long that I feel despairing. Let's face it, it is a daily challenge that takes up a lot of the psyche leaving a limit on the rest of our lives. I understand that this is what
it will take to get me back to good health. I need to take breaks though, or I'll never make it. I have given myself 2 years to do this so no need to push things along too fast. Already, my life is so much better and I don't feel shame anymore about what I have done to myself by gaining the weight to begin with. I know I'm setting things right and that is the best I can do. There is no point on dwelling in the past at this point. Here I am, becoming me, always someone new :)

R2P2D19 (-16.4) another 1.4 gone!

Wow! I was hoping for some good drops after tom left but I wasn't expecting this! Super happy! This brings me down to 182. I have 2 more days of drops, after today. Think I'll make it to the 170s?? Who knows, lol. I am at my personal goal for this round as of today so I'm not going to complain. I had some loose skin when I started this round at the top of the arms under my triceps that has tightened up nicely. I was worried it would get worse but nope. All good :) Today I'm going to take it real easy. All that dancing last night coupled with a full day out with the kids to the parade and then 2 separate
festivals have me feeling pretty weak today. I had a great time and met lots of
wonderful people. So I'm taking today off. Have a good day everyone!

R2P2D18 (-15) down 1.4 from yesterday!!!!
I had to post this today! What a great b-day present :)

R2P2D17 (-13.6)

Just a quick check-in today. I'm working like mad to get my other site done. I'm going out tonight and tomorrow night so I will be basically awol this weekend. So let's hear it!!!!! I AM 184.8!!! YEEEHAW!! LOL I know, I know, I'm a weirdo. A happy weirdo who's now below 185. Not sure I can make it to 180 since I only have 3 days left but who knows what will happen after tom leaves. Maybe I'll push my luck with the seamstress and try to fit in a few more days on vlcd. Would be pretty stoked to see the 170s this round instead of in September...(You know I'm going to do it!!) Okay, off to shower and see what I have to wear for tonight.

R2P2D16 (-13.2)

Almost at my mini goal of 185! Didn't get much sleep last night due to nightmares for my poor lil'guy :( So I have to say that I'm rather grumpy today again. Tom finally decided to come and I can't wait for departure now. It's been a hard and weird week. Oh there goes my phone...

R2P2D15 (-12.6)

Rain again :( I guess I should be thankful. It would be worse if I was stuck at home on a sunny day! Perhaps today is a good day to try these oopsie rolls....
Time is really flying this round. There was so much to consider during the first round that I felt I was always busy learning something or what have you. This time, I already have all the products and know what I'm doing. Definitely less stressful which is good. I don't think that I loaded enough though. Hunger has been an issue this whole round. To try and help this, I changed when I take my b12 from early morning to mid morning. My snack, lol. It might be helping but hard to say....hunger still an issue. 6 more days of drops. I will make sure that I load ALL day on my next round. See, I loaded well after about 10-11am but mornings where not so good. I must have come up short. I know better....Funny how we all think maybe it is different for us but nope...I'm just like everyone else and need to load properly. Either way, I'm 0.8 away from 185!! Woohoo! I started at 227.7 and I am now 185.8 for a total loss of 41.9lbs!! 42lbs since April 6th!!! How kick ass is that! Wow, that makes today the 3 month marker. Cool. :) Numbers can be fun...that's a daily average of 0.46lbs, a weekly average of 3.26lbs and a monthly average of 14lbs loss. This all sounds very healthy to me. This is what always cracks me up about
statistics. You really can make them say whatever you want them to say.
Anyway...just playing.
