R6P2D20 -18.4 I'm now at 143.8lbs :) I was up late the night before last helping cut and pack our moose meat. So happy to have a clean, lean, very healthy red meat for the winter! I get a little flack for being a hunter from some but in my opinion...if you still buy meat from the store than you have no right to criticize me. I hold myself responsible for the life I take and honour that beautiful animal by living as healthy as I can. I feel no shame.
What I did feel was some very sore arms though!!! I had dropped 0.4 that morning but then the day after cutting I was up the 0.4 again. It was just water retention and I knew it. Today....whoosh! There it went as a nice 1.2lb release. Yay!
Just today and tomorrow for drops so I guess the morning weigh in will be my ldw. If I lose 0.8 than I'll be just laughing!!! Remember the other day? Where I reached 145....and just wanted 2 more....it might just happen!!!
Cheers

R6P2D16 -16.4lbs
It's been a good round so far. Only 6 days of drops left. Tom finally arrived last night and so did some nasty dizzy spells. Still dizzy this morning! I haven't taken my b12 yet so hoping that helps. Think I'll be taking it twice today. While my overall average is amazing, this last week has been real slow with only 2lbs released. I suppose it could be the strong start I had along with lingering Tom.
Today I'm 145.8lbs so even if I just lose 0.8 over the next 5 days I'll have reached the centre of my healthy bmi. This was what I was hoping for! Funny how it always changes as I hit each goal. Now I would like to have some wiggle room. Just 2 more pounds please!!!!!

R6P2D5 -9.6
So far so good :) I was out hiking, hunting and packing yesterday so I had a little extra protein. I prepacked my food for the day and just brought some whey protein powder as I figured I would need it. By 9:30pm I was crashed on the couch, lol. I'm certain that I didn't drink enough water. That'll be my focus today.
Only 1.7lbs to break into the 140s!

I loaded for 2 days and gained 6.2lbs. After one day on the vlcd, I'm happy to report that I dropped 5.2lbs! Only one pound to reach my preload weight :)
Happy me!

That's it! I'm loading!!! LOL
My aunt has decided to do a round and I'm soo excited for her that I thought...what the heck...I have about 10lbs (maybe 15lbs) that I can still lose. So I'm loading today and joining her!
My morning weight was 155lbs (-3lbs LDW). I've been floating around 152-155 so happy about that :) I was very undecided about doing another round. I've been nice and stable these last few months and I'm in my healthy bmi. But I can do anything for 3-4 weeks. I guess I got caught up with so many people starting a round on the support group and now my aunt that I just had to join in, lol. Just think....this will be my last round....ever!!! Now that is exciting! I told myself that I will do this round but if I have lots of troubles stabilizing I will allow myself to come back to the 150-155 range where I know I'm healthy and can maintain. I don't think I am pushing it too far as my healthy bmi ranges from 120-155lbs. I figure about 140-145lbs is a nice in the middle number. Should be interesting as the last time I was in the 140s was when I was only 15/16. We'll see what happens!

And into October we go!
I'm starting to get organized and how interesting that I'm feeling physically better too. Mind, body, and spirit! Seems such a common statement these days. Printed on a bottle of perfume or strung up in beads for a bracket. We easily dismiss the hard truth. It is essential to take to heart our health and recognize that we are all interconnected. This means we hold a duty to take care of ourselves.
What does that mean?! To take care of oneself!?
I'll tell you what that means to me:
I need to always be in search of betterment. If I can learn something new every day then I'm in a constant state of betterment. The more I understand the easier it is for me to make informed choices. This is my mind.
I need to be physically healthy. I push to provide my body with as much nourishment as I can so that I may achieve longevity. Be that through activities, food, or water. This is my body.
I need to feel love. Our emotions influence every choice we make. Our whole existence is dependant on our feeling of love. My circle of love spirals out from within to my family, my friends, my community, and so on. We need love from others, from ourselves and from the whole. This is my spirit.
When I feel these needs are met than I know I'm doing it right. I can tell based on how pleasurable my experiences transcend. When I am in pain or feel frustrated lots I know something is up! As soon as one of these suffers, I know it's time to start paying attention to all three. All the answers are right there for us. All we have to do is take care of ourselves by listening. If you do right for you then you can't help but do right for others.
Cheers
