Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: catfish creole
S: apple
D: bison steak (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
4 L water, 2 c tea, 2 c coffee (E: 2 L water, 4 c coffee) 2 bottles of Pellegrino’s
Well that's LAME! It puzzles me how some days I lose NOTHING...whatevAAAAAAA!!! Ed of course is still losing like a BIG LOSER!!! I have a little trick up my sleeve today so we'll see if it works!
I ordered a little "stock" of flavored Stevias which arrived yesterday! We drank so much coffee, tea and sparkling mineral water just to try them all out! YUM! The vanilla cream in the mineral water takes just like cream soda and the lemon drop takes just like Fresca. We have to go to the store today and stock up on more Pellegrino’s and coffee! I think these little treats will help us get through these last 11 days!!!!
So nice to see some of my long lost buds-in response to your comments:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz- Thanks for stopping by. I thought about you last night and I need to head over to your blog to see how you are doing! Thanks for the early birthday wish! Oh goodness I'm really, really, really hoping to get to 115 and Ed's goal is 215-we're getting cloooooooooose!!!
Becca- You always have my "back" don't ya! "Yeah ED, let me do what I WANT!" Actually we think we have come to a "compromise!" We'll see how it turns out! No worries, I always get what I want!!!
Shelley- Oh you're back! Girl, this feels like it's taking forever!!!Thanks for checkin' on us and always cheering us on....I'll get there (if it kills me)!
Lili- What's up stranger?! You know it really isn't nice that all my buds bailed out at the same time-I've been missing you! You better have updated your blog! I know, those water bottles must have been invented by a MAN! LOL
Ya'll we got through the week! Happy freakin' Friday!!!

VLCD #39- The water bottles...

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: 1/2 can (low sodium) tuna, 2 T cottage cheese
D: grilled chicken (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
S: 1 square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate
3.5 L water, 2 c tea (E: 2 L water)
See these are the losses that Ed usually has when he is a "good boy" but these losses are also why he is a "bad boy!" He knows how easily he can lose when he deviates. This morning after he realized he lost over a pound (again) he said "oh yeah, crawfish for your birthday!" LOL
I'm not exactly sure who's birthday it is...his or mine! He is so bummed that I said I don't think I want to go out! I would be happy staying home enjoying my birthday with some wine and seafood! I would rather celebrate after our LIW when I've met my goal weight!!!!
Ed came home yesterday with a new chain for himself so I'm assuming he got me some jewelry for my b-day (and of course he had to pick something up for himself). He is begging for me to let him give me birthday gift early and I keep saying "NO, you always give me my gifts early-you need to wait until the day off!" He is so funny like that!!!
Speaking of gifts for BOTH of us! Ya'll I'm not so sure about the water bottles. They have this really unique straw that you have to bite down on and suck at the same time. It's really strange and I don't like it! I also noticed you have to suck kind of hard in order for it measure the ounces correctly (I don't want to have to "work" to drink). I'm thinkin' I like my old water bottle better! Actually we got online and found some different ones called "Kleen Kanteens" http://www.kleankanteen.com/. The stainless steel alternative to plastic. These should be better-I'll let you know!
Onto to comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Mary Moe- Thanks for always commenting, you're such my girrr! Yeah, stick to your regular water bottle for now! Ed and I will do the "testing" and let you know if it's worth the upgrade! You ready for P2?
Becca- Yay, what a pleasant surprise! Welcome home! Great to see the update and pics, you cute thang you! And did you say I'm close to the 110's......what?! NOOOOOOO!
Monica- Seeing the 110's seems so....CRAZY! I'll think I'll make it to 120 for my b-day but I'm really hoping for 119-we'll see!!! I know, I thought the water bottles would be so cool! We always joke that we need to be the "testers" for every company because we are really good and picking things apart! The water bottles are a great idea it just needs some tweeking!
Alrighty, I guess that's all for now! Today is Pauls birthday (Imago Embraced) Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: 1/2 can (low sodium) tuna, 2 T cottage cheese, 1 celery stalk
D: 4 oz Bison steak (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
S: 1/2 orange w/ 1 square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate (YUM)!
4 L water, 2 c tea (E: 2.5 L water)
YES! We are both very happy today! Maybe we should copy exactly what we ate yesterday to see if we can pull another 1 pounder tomorrow...hmmm!
Maybe the loss is from all the water we drank from our new, nifty, handy dandy water bottles Ed bought for US yesterday (for MY birthday)! Now these aren't just any 'ol water bottles...they are the "HydraCoach" Intelligent Water Bottles-whoo! They track how much water you've drinkin' including clocks, water goals, percentages and a 27 page mini manual to go with it (sheesh)! We had no idea drinking water could be so much FUN! Ain't technology great?!
OMG, I'm so close to being under 120....I can't believe it!
In response to our peeps:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi'ya Marrrray- Thanks for your input on the fruit! We did get our fruit and all our cals in yesterday and look! This whole thing is just a "crap shoot" (as Biz would say)! Who knows! YES, we are both going till March 11th (unless my body begs me to stop-which would be AWESOME)!
Monica- I am very excited to almost be at goal! This has been a 7 month journey and I can't believe I'm at the tail end of it....it's a great feeling!!!! I've almost lost 50 freakin' pounds-crazy huh?!
Shelly- What's up Mrs. Athletic? Thanks also for your input on the fruits and getting in all the cals. Ahhh, a size 0...NO!!! Enjoy P3 girlfriend!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

D: mock pasta sauce (w/96/4 beef) over lettuce
(count 'em) 5 L water, 2 c tea (E: 2 L water)
We're happy to see the scale moving down...phew! You'd think with allll that water I drank yesterday I would've lost more-I know I'm never happy am I?! I really, really hope to get under 120 by the end of the week which seems "do-able!"
Question for ya'll! Do you eat all your required foods each day? We hardly eat our second fruit and we're wondering if we need to! Also, we don't always get our 500 cals in-do you think it matters?
Onto comments:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becca- What's up ski bunny? So good to hear from you!!! Sounds like ya'll are having tons of fun in all the snow and crazy storms! I really hope to get to that point Dr. S talks about when all the fat is used up. I still don't have any hunger so there's still plenty of fat for my body to live on.
One day at a time....
Monica- Aww, I'm always here! Good thing we all didn't go on vacation at the same time! So today is your LIW...woo hoo!
Mary- I know...MEN! Thanks for your good vibes, give them all to me (not Ed)! LOL
CB- Thanks for the info! Don't ya get sick of always weighing and thinking about it? I always say we are all going to need an "intervention" afterwards-LOL! Love ya girl!
That's all for now...hope all is well with my buds!

Sheesh, another gain of .4 today (and I was such a good girl yesterday)! I guess sometimes the deviations can take a few days to show up....whaaaaaa! Look at my stud over here....2.6 loss!!! Ed is all pumped up and "determined" to get to 215 this round-he can do it too! We have 15 days left so we really need to buckle down and do this right! Positive affirmations!!! We always start the week so strong and then by the weekend we seem to go downhill huh?! Life is just too fun to be on a "diet" ALL the time! LOL
Wow our little blogger community sure is quiet! Thanks so much to Mary and Monica-ya'll are always here for us! Monica it's almost P3 time for you....and Mary, I don't even want to go to your blog to see what you're eating...I'm just going to live through ya'll!

B: coffee w/stevia
L: 1/2 c tuna salad, 4 strawberries, 2 glass of champagne
D: chicken fajita pizza (toppings only) E: 3 beers J: 2 glasses of white wine
1 L water
Well as you can see by the GAIN we had a great day yesterday!!! Like I mentioned I had a baby shower to go to which was on the other side of Houston where we used to live. We don't get around that part of town very often so after the shower was over we just "had" to stop at our favorite pub and have some gourmet pizza and drinks! Ed ate one entire piece (with crust) then we just picked off the toppings...it was delish and worth every ounce (or pounds) we gained! It really is crazy how much Ed gains in one night-he doesn't care! LOL
Ya'll are so funny asking if we went shopping for "naughty or nice!" So sorry I have nothing exciting to report other then I bought some slacks that are a size 3! It's really interesting because in my mind I think I'm a certain size (bigger) so when I try on clothes that I think will fit and they are too big, it's shocking! I am so pleased with the sculpting that has taken place on this round (even with all the deviations)! I'm smaller now in size than I've ever been (in my adult years) and yet I'm still not under 120. It really doesn't matter what the scale says! If I could I'd just keep going until all the fat is gone and I get "ravenously hungry" as Dr. S explains. Ed wants to go 2 more weeks and I have plenty of HCG so we are thinking about giving it a shot (pun intended)! Also I found cheaper flights to Mexico if we leave on the 15th of April. So even if we ended around the 11th of March we'll be in P4 by the time we leave. This is like the never ending round!!!
I'm looking forward to a "chill" day today! Ed loves to go to garage sales and flea markets and he's trying to talk me into going today...he's so funny!
Have a nice slooow relaxing Sunday! Is it really almost Monday again?!
