California Dreaming

August was looking rough for the home team weight loss wise.  When in the rescue the day is mister stomach flu.  Three day and 12 pounds later, I am reporting a total of over 84 pounds lost, less than 16 to goal and 4 months left in the year.  But everyone knows the scale spins both ways

60# milestone day

Just 2 days before mid-year, hit the 60 lb. mark toward my 100 lb. goal for 2011.  I am now in the next phase of this plan (phase 4), reintroduction of carbs.  Add 1 a day for a week, then each week add 1 more into your daily diet.  Cut to zero if you have gained more than 2 pounds from your Phase 4 start. 

Will be doing this until July 30, which begins round 2, restarting the daily doses of HCG, 2 days of high fat loading then back to the VLCD (very low calorie diet) during August.

Simple, huh? :)

HCG made it work, Biking made it easy, Monavie made it possible

The wellness train has reached crusing speed!  Everything coming together from OSA (AHI down from 84 to 3), BP (diastolic at 70 for the first time in years) to weight/BMI.

I have submitted my CV for a speaker's bureau and am now set for your next corporate or wellness group event to talk about my journey.  Details at project100ways.com.

50 lb./40 BMI milestone day

Just 3 weeks before mid-year, I passed the midway point of my 100 lb. goal for 2011.  I am now in the next phase of this plan, 3 weeks of Atkins Diet-like eating.  The 20 oz of meat, 4 oz of cheese and 7 eggs yesterday was quite a change from 500 calories a day.  But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Ch-ch-ch-ch changes

I took my last dose of HCG this morning.  Moving from very low cal. (500) to very low carb.  The online calculator said I should plan for 3100 calories a day.  Sounds crazy but the plan has worked like a champ so far.

Despite looking like something out of Star Wars or Silence of the Lambs, my new BiPAP machine is finally giving me some relief from OSA so I am thrilled!

 

HCG is rolling along, two weeks left until Phase 3, the reintroduction of fats to the diet.  Kind of like Adkin's.
