Did well this past week!
Yesterday, had a day of experimenting with another "off-protocol" food ~
Made Cleochatra's Best Ever Revol-Oopsie Rolls, and ate FOUR of them throughout the day!!! These are technically a Phase 3 food, however, with experimenting this round, I am throwing some of that in! LOL
Have also continued having a small amount of Bawdy's Protein Bars, which are also, technically, for Phase 3 ~
I've learned a bit more about vitamin D3 + K2, and the important role it plays in mood, 36 organs, and possibly weight ~
Apparently 97% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D3 (it's absorbed better with K2), with the ideal blood level really being 50, rather than the previously thought level of 30!
We just are just not a society that is outdoors enough with enough skin exposure for our bodies to make enough of the vitamin that we need.
I have begun taking 5,000iu of vitamin D3 + K2 this past week, and suspect it MAY have helped me have better losses ~

2010: New Year ~ New Beginnings
So . . . I started the protocol January 4, 2010, and will post weekly updates:
01/11/2010 ~ WEEK ONE LOSS = 12.4 Pounds (this large of a loss is completely normal for the first week on this protocol)
01/18/2010 ~ WEEK TWO LOSS = 3.8 Pounds
TOTAL LOST IN 14 DAYS = 16.2 Pounds
I will eventually post inches lost, but have not determined a time frame for those ~ perhaps every 2 or 4 weeks . . .
I have struggled with weight basically my whole life, with none of my efforts paying off with successful weight-loss ~
That started to change when I read Kevin Trudeau's book "The Weight-loss Cure They Don't Want You To Know About," in which he brought to light a protocol researched by Dr. Simeon many decades ago called "Pounds & Inches." I got no help from my Dr. in getting supplies, and by chance (ha! I think not!) came across a clinic who helped people with this protocol!
I was overjoyed, and the start-up appt. and supplies were a birthday gift from my hubby ~ YAY!!! From August 2008 to May 2009 I lost 109 pounds!!! Yes, this is for real folks!
Unfortunately I did not follow the transition phase in the protocol, and promptly put back on 25 pounds in the first 8 days after I stopped using HCG and following the VLCD. And the pounds just kept coming back on afterwards to a total of about 90 back on :o( So . . . here I am on this journey once again! Admittedly it's not as much fun as the first time, but I KNOW it works, and I will be successful in follow-through!!!
I also have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and insulin resistance (aka hyperinsulinemia, syndrome x, metabolic syndrom ~ whatever you want to call it! LOL), which makes my body very sensitive to carbohydrates ~ for instance, I've said many times that I could LOOK at food and gain weight ~ come to find out that for some, this is a reality, myself included! :o(
I am determined to have a successful transition period this time whether or not I reach my goal weight. I have 121 pounds to go to get to that point! However, I KNOW it can be done and I know that I can do it! I have begun putting together some Low-Carb recipes, so I will be prepared when I am done with the HCG protocol.
A note for any reading this and are strictly following Dr. Simeon's protocol, please note that I am experimenting with this, and so far am having good results!!!
I chose to have an "off" day with my husband yesterday, but stuck pretty close to what I've been doing.
The "off" things I had yesterday:
Protein bar, that I had made, at the movie theater (went to see the Blind Side ~ AWESOME movie!!! two thumbs up)
A very LATE dinner which was chicken and broccoli with a low carb Alfredo sauce that I made ~ yummo!!!
And then I had three peanut butter bonbons
So . . . being up .4 really isn't too bad at all!!!
Today am doing a Phase 2 egg day, so hopefully tomorrow will be back on track! :o)
I will also note that I am taking two herbal tinctures:
Drops of Skinny (hypothalamus support)
Ultimate Pituitary (pituitary support, which also supports the thyroid)
01/11/2010 ~ WEEK ONE LOSS = 12.4 Pounds (this large of a loss is completely normal for the first week on this protocol)
01/18/2010 ~ WEEK TWO LOSS = 3.8 Pounds
TOTAL LOST IN 14 DAYS = 16.2 Pounds
