R4VLCD6 - 163

Weight: 163

Down another pound, and reminding myself this isn’t new territory.  Why do we need to learn the hard (and expensive) way?

Also enjoying how I’m feeling.  My stomach isn’t sticking out so much and my pants, which are my new, smaller size, are beginning to fit comfortably again.

I’m also trying not to count how much I will weigh by such-and-such a date.  That’s a bit hard, being excited about the transformation, figuring out how much more of this sort of effort will be required for this duration, as well as trying to schedule events into one’s life.

I forgot my water bottle at home yesterday, so I didn’t get my full amount of water in, and I was hungrier than usual, too.  Not gonna make that mistake today!

R4VLCD5 - 164

Weight: 164

Good, I’m down .5 pounds today.  That makes a total of 6 pounds so far, including the load weight (which I hate including).

It’s hard to say if I would have lost more if I had eaten a different dinner last night.  While I wouldn’t recommend eating lamb on a regular basis on the diet, or even again, at least I didn’t gain!  And in the overall scheme of everything, no harm done!

R4VLCD4 – 164.5

Weight: 164.5
My hubby made me a surprise dinner….a lamb steak, with cabbage!
It smelled wonderful as I walked through the door tonight, and he was so proud to have gotten me a surprise….and I was hungry, too!  Today was the first day where I was a bit hungry during the day, but not even close to any of the other rounds.
In case you’re wondering…lamb is NOT on the list!  He got it mixed up with veal…
I counted up the calories, and I’m within my limits, so, I ate it, and we’ll see what the scale says tomorrow.  I don’t plan to make a habit of deviating from the approved food list, but sometimes you just gotta go with some love!

R4VLCD1 - 170

Weight: 170
I started my 4th round on Saturday, doing injections again.  Today is VLCD 1.
Why another round?  Well, I had 10-15 pounds to get rid of at the end of round 3 and I haven’t gotten rid of them.  I have been exercising, but not what I think of as a consistent routine like going to the gym 3 times a week.  I’ve been walking at lunch, but sometimes I can’t. 
I have eaten pretty normally in the meantime.  Actually, I pushed the limits, with the food sensitivities and allergies I have.  It’s been interesting on the one hand, but I haven’t felt as fabulous as I could.  I’m still getting used to the “new” me, at a size 12, too, although, I gained 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks.
That started with a weekend trip that included a ton of food; that should have been my load weekend, and, in fact, was going to be, but I decided to put it off since our anniversary was 2 weeks after that.  Then I hurt my back and couldn’t continue my walks.
Frankly, I’m tired of waiting, I’m tired of loading and can’t wait to get this weight off me!
