P4-Weekly update!

Jennifer:
LIW: 115.0
Today: 122.2
LIW: +7.2

Ed:
LIW: 222.0
Today: 225.0
LIW: +3.0

Well where have ya'll been? (hee, hee) Wow, it's been a whole week since I updated last?! Time flies when you’re having fun! The weather here in Houston is absolutely B-E-A-U-tiful so we've been out as much as possible.

On Sunday we took a wonderful drive to go see the fields of blue bonnets. We took food for a picnic and had our pup Jackson with us-it was a very memorable day (especially dessert)! I was looking through the bag of food that we bought and I noticed a suspicious food...I pull it out and ED had bought a Moon Pie (OMG, the last time I had one of those was when I was like 10 yrs old-him too)! Well the Moon Pie was the start of "gimmie more, I need more...gimmie sugar, any sugar!" After our picnic on our way home I was begging for another one and then Ed suggested Dairy Queen...oh yeah! Ed and I shared a blizzard AND a banana split PLUS a small fry (I will blame Ed for that one too)! Needless to say we were fearful of the scale allllllll week.

It's been a week since we weighed and guess what? We both only gained .6 from a week ago-not bad! I've been walking 60 min or jogging for 40 min each day and that along with my strength training is tightening me up! I used to work out (pre HCG) and I would feel how strong and solid my muscle was but I wasn't seeing much definition (too many layers of fat) so now it's a totally different experience to actually see my muscles and watch them change. I never really understood what overweight people meant when they said that they "hid" under their fat. Now, as I see my body as I'm meant to look I realize how "exposed" I am-nothing to hide behind. It's taking time for me to realize that this is for "real" and that I did get to my goal and that I don't need to diet anymore and most of all that I won't wake up and suddenly gain 50 lbs-I AM IN CONTROL! I think that's why Dr. S says to weigh everyday-to keep you in check and never let our weight get out of control EVER AGAIN!

In 4 days from now we will be in MEXICO!!!! We have been having so much fun shopping and getting ready to go. I bought everything I need except a swim suit (the item I need most)! We plan on going shopping again this weekend. We've been busy with work trying to get everything handled and the days are just flying by.

Thanks for checking on us ya'll-we appreciate your comments! Hope all is well in Protocoland!!!

Much love!!

I love Mexico. And to go with your new georgeous body is so cool for you! Hope you find a fantastic bikini, but you can always shop for one there if you can't find one here.
I bet you've had such a great time shopping for clothes. So much fun to do when you're thin isn't it?

Hey Jenn...
Sounds like you and Ed are having a blast. I bet the blue bonets are really beautiful! You will have so much fun in Mexico! I was just looking at flights for a trip we are planning in November. But Tim and I aren't sure yet whether we will go to Mexico or Panama. I'm thinking we may check out Panama.

I bet it IS really cool to see your muscle tone without being hidden. And you are right.... you aren't going to wake up and have gained 50 pounds. Dr. S is the bomb....wish I had known about him about 15 years ago! :)

OMG you are both JUST TINY.

Well Ed is not "tiny" but he is amazing. You both must feel so incredibly great.

You are going to be tan and fabulous.

I am jealous as it snowed AGAIN yesterday. They promise it will stop soon.

xoxoxo Be safe and congrats!

I don't know if you will get this before you get home, but I hope you have a fantabulous time in Mexico. Drink a margarita for me, will ya?

I hope Ed really enjoys himself because he is going to be back on track when he gets home, isn't he? Or is he happy where he is? He certainly looks great!

Enjoy yourselves!! Know that we will be thinking about you and wishing we were in your shoes.
