P3 Day 15 - painting and re-decorating what fun...

LIW 151 on 2-21-08
Yesterday's weight 153.2
Today’s weight 153.6
+ .4
2.6 lbs over LIW

I haven’t been working too hard to bring my weight down closer to my LIW and it’s starting to creep back up there, so today I’ve been towing the line and cut out the extra nuts and cheeses. I’ve been drinking lots of water and have stuck to raw veggies and protein today. So let’s see how my weight is tomorrow, and if necessary I’ll do an egg day to bring it down.

I checked out the new forum that Biz and Jennifer were working on. And who are all of those people that signed up? They must be from another forum that I’m not familiar with. It’s amazing to me to think that there are possibly hundreds of other groups out there that are all trying this protocol and are already in their own small support groups or even trying it on their own or through clinics without the support of a virtual community. I like that we have our own small community that is linked through our blogs, but I am also excited about the new perspective and experience we can gain from a whole new group of people who are using HCG. So once I get familiar with how the new forum is set up, I think it will be fun. My biggest concern will be finding the time to read and participate.

Because time, hmmm. Where does it all go? In addition to all my recent traveling, we’ve been doing some re-decorating on our house to get ready for a visit from my husband’s mother and brother in-law. In December we got a little closer to being empty nesters when one of our adult children moved out with her two kids and we suddenly had two empty rooms! So we are repainting, cleaning and trying to furnish those rooms to make our guests comfortable during their two week stay. So that’s one of the reasons that I haven’t had much time to spend on my blog (or yours!)

So thanks for being patient and checking in even when I just post a line or two...

Happy losing!

To my commenter's from today and yesterday:

Mary, so you used to snore and wake yourself up? LOL. I bet your toenails always look pretty now...

Biz, I'm glad you're back and posting. And I actually like to paint. I've even done some pretty successful faux painting in some of our rooms and in the treatment rooms at my daughter's spa. I'll have to send you some pics sometime...

Marlene, I'm glad you liked my post from Tuesday. As you know by know I did find your blog. Good for you! You're doing great with a whole new spin on the HCG diet.

Jenn, you and Biz have been busy girls haven't you? You'll have to give me all the inside scoop on the new forum! And you're right, when I think about having to CARRY an extra 45 lbs with me where ever I go, well no wonder I was always huffing and puffing and struggling to get anything done!

Hazel, where did you go skiing this year? We went a couple of times in Arizona in addition to our Utah trip. And there are some fun things to do with kids in Vegas but unless you bring along a babysitter you won't get much adult fun stuff in. Kids are NOT allowed in the casino gambling areas. And chicken broth, try to find fat free and low sodium.

Monica, believe it or not, my hair is paint free. My husband and I have a system, he paints with his electric paint roller that sucks the paint right out of the can and I go around and do the trim which actually takes longer than it does for him to do the walls. Then he cleans up... Works for us!!!

Thanks B! I like painting too. I'll let you know how it all turns out...
