We're trying something a little different this round. On a quest to loose more, we are going the old fashioned Dr. Simeon's route.....no recipes. We are only going to eat grilled meat with raw or steamed veggies. Jon came home at lunch and we grilled all the meat up. We had steak and sliced tomato (From the farmer's market...pretty good tomato). That's all either one of us ate today.
On another note, if you don't already know, we're moving. I'm trying to trust God in this process, but I'm the kind of person who needs a plan. I don't even care how crazy the plan is, I just need to know the end game. Right now, all I know, is that we are moving sometime before September to an undetermined town in a general area of South Central Oklahoma. It's getting to me and by the evening I had a headache. It hadn't turned into a migraine so I went to bed with it, cranky and hungry.

We had Krispy Kream for breakfast and went to a friends house for lunch. They had salad, pasta, fresh fruit (including cherries which were AWESOME). They also had the best Ghiridali cupcakes I've ever had! They sent us home with left overs so I think we're good for loading today. I am soooo ready to get this show on the road. We are going to try not to use any recipes this time around and go for grilled meats and fresh veggies. Let's go!!!

Did you miss me?
I took a little break but........here we go again. I'm not excited. I am however incredibly nauseated and determined. Notice I don't have all our stats? Charis' 9th birthday sleepover was last night and I've had very little sleep. I also forgot to weigh this morning before I ate chocolate chip pancakes....yum!!! That was about the extent of my food bliss as the HCG started kicking in. After a pizza lunch and many cookie, chips, and cheese snacks, dinner was an afterthought. I HATE loading days now. They are not fun anymore. They are torture! I never thought I would have to force myself to eat ice cream. I never thought I would turn down dinner at Ted's, our favorite Mexican food restaurant. I'll have updated stats tomorrow. We got new scales that weigh us a pound heavier so our goals changed by a pound. Jon has maintained wonderfully. Me? not so well. I went up and down and had multiple steak days. It's really hard to maintain when you're not home and at the mercy of others to feed you. I'm only a pound or so over my goal weight, so it wasn't too bad.

Day 130 - Little chocolate donuts, Steak Days, and the Biblical Flood
Day 11 Maintenance
Emily: 164.0 lbs, 1 lb over goal
Jon: 219.8 lbs, .2 lbs under goal
Both of us have maintained our weights! Yeah! although we have both had steak days. Jon lost almost 4 lbs on his steak day....men.... I lost almost two on mine and I cheated like crazy on that day I was so hungry. I but I cheated on only good food....except for the mini 3 musketeers....and the baskin robins hard candy. I obviously don't do well with temptation. I'm not at home so it messes with me having all the goodies around.
A question has plagued me though. Is there a time in ones life in which eating a little chocolate donut is acceptable? I've determined the answer as I see it as, yes. I think when you get up three hours earlier than usual, pack your van, and leave your house with three kids at 7 am to travel from Oklahoma city to Dallas, get one mile from your house and traffic stops and you sit there for 3 hours because there is no exit and your not moving, and the kids haven't eaten yet and are going stir crazy and the rain is pouring down, that's a start. When you have finally crept forward enough that you can see the emergency vehicle lights are actually blocking the next exit and behind the emergency vehicle the exit is under water, and then the emergency vehicle is slowly creeping backwards toward you and you realize that it is because the water is also creeping toward you, and when people like refugees began walking down the freeway abandoning their flooded cars covering their head with whatever box or bag they had in their cars to protect them from the rain, and the cop car is now only about 8 feet in front of you with the water cresting it's tires so you decide it's time to go....somehow....and do a three point turn and begin driving the wrong way down the freeway, the stress MIGHT just call for a bite. When after the three hour drama and you still have a 4 hour drive to go and you never left your neighborhood and you pull into your driveway to see water cascading from your garage and run inside to see that a river is pouring from the back of said garage down through the front of the garage door and the only boxes in the garage left unpacked but in the torrents flow are your books and photo albums and you spend your morning, or rather what's left of it, and part of the afternoon dragging water logged boxes in and covering your living room floor, dining room floor, and any other dry surface with wet books and pictures, to discover that your favorite wedding picture is one of the only things not salvageable, THEN it's ok to eat a little chocolate donut. But only one.
We're fine. We lost very little and my mom has a copy of the wedding picture I love. AND we finally got to unpacking those boxes.
P.S. That was not the day that caused the steak day.

Day 120 - PICTURES!!!
Day 1 maintenance
OK, it wasn't too bad. We both gained a pound, but well within our goal weights. Nothing can stop us today anyway. We've posted our before and after pictures. Just click on the links above. It's amazing to me the change in my body this round. Although I only lost 17 lbs, the change is even more pronounced than the change from the first round. Round 1...I just shrank. Round 2.....NEW ME!!! Check 'em out. They speak for themselves.

Yeah! I was perfect yesterday and I lost .4 lbs. Jon only lost .2, but he is so happy to be in the teens he didn't really care. We were both very cranky today. We were hungry and needed FOOD!!! If your marriage can survive dual HCG withdrawal, it can survive anything!
Jon had fish and broccoli for lunch. I had grilled chicken, melba and OJ. THEN I got hungry and came back and ate a couple of pizza bites the kids had left over. THEN Jon started moaning about being hungry. THEN I ate more pizza bites because I was still hungry and Jon started feeling weak and light headed. We made a decision. We needed more food! We made our breakfast scramble. Eggs, sausage, mushrooms, and onions. The kids had it in tortillas. We had it in a bowl with cheese and washed it down with milk. It was exhilarating!!! Oh food! Where have you been?! We were both delightfully happy and content for the rest of the evening. I tried not to think of how bad it would be in the morning. Hopefully the HCG is out of our system enough for it not to be too bad.

Well, I gained .2. Guess I need to go induce a .4 loss :). Jon lost .8 and is ecstatic. He made it to the teens!!! We went to the zoo today for a couple hours and then came home and played in the back yard all day. It was a pretty leisurely day.
We had the last of our good melba at the zoo and I had the last of the crab bisque for lunch. Jon had chicken fajitas. I had nasty melba and OJ for dinner. Jon made some broccoli. We both REALLY wanted to cheat. We can definitely feel the effects of the HCG leaving us. Tomorrow is going to suck big time.
