WIW: Hey at least it keeps me posting once a week
So, here I am again it’s Wednesday morning which means time to post this week’s “progress” hehehe. Well, thanks to my old Nemesis BEER, WINE and LIQUOR I did not progress. In fact I had a slight increase in my weight.
Last week 158.8, this week 161.0 so that is an increase of 2.2 lbs (if my early morning math is correct). ICK, well onward ever onward.
If anyone is...

WIW: It's been a week already?
Gosh folks. Life can sure sometimes get in the way of my blogging. I am spending more time in the barn than near the computer so I apologize for my lack of participation around here.
I am once again in the midst of a horse “rescue” with the outcome hopefully being better this time around. I got the owner of Fast Lassy a 12 year old Off Track thoroughbred to surrender her...

WIW: the Thursday edition?
Not to fear, not to fear…I did indeed weigh myself yesterday as I do every day. Yesterdays weigh in saw me at 162.2 lbs. Down a mere 1.4 lbs officially this week. Although my hubbys birthday party this past weekend didn’t cause a huge gain, it did very effectively stall my losses.
No problem though. Stayed on track all week so far and today I am down again. All is well here in...

Moving toward a Strong Finish...
After a full weekend of party madness, I am finishing the last 2 days of hcg shots today and tomorrow and moving headlong into maintenance. As of this mornings weigh in I have to say that I am thrilled my husbands Kick Ass birthday celebration didn’t devastate me as much as I thought it would.
It was a hell of a party and I wish I hadn’t misplaced my camera so that I could share...

WIW: Thoughts and Ramblings
Getting right to it, my weight this morning came in at 163.6. That is a reduction of 4.4 lbs since last Wed. Not a very stellar loss considering I am on hcg again and most everyone is way beyond my mere 10.8 lbs lost, but then again I have to admit I have a daily “cheat” of coffee with cream in the morning. Cream is definitely NOT on this plan. This morning I reduced the amount of...

Quick check in...
Yep, still alive. Still on that darned hcg vlcd, had a brisk 30 minute nordic trac session with 4x20 second sprint interval this morning. Checked in with the horses, they’re still alive too and enjoying the 50 degree day.
Currently enjoying a non-hcg beverage of 1 shot kaluha/1 shot pinnacle whipped cream vodka. I suck at this vlcd thing, can’t wait to be back to low-carb.

Half Way Through!
Was just doing my morning calendar and noticed I am just over HALF WAY through the vlcd phase of the hcg plan. Only 13 more days then on to maintenance. I never thought I would be so happy to be just plain old low carb!

Non-White (but not really black) Russian
Enjoyed a lovely coctail last night comprised of a shot of Kaluha and a shot of Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka. I’m not sure if it is an actual drink with a given name, I just used what I had in my liquour cabinet. Tasted very much like a white russian without the added cream.
It may have slowed my pace just a bit in the weight loss side, but saved my sanity. A fair trade in my opinion.

Thursday Ramblings
Just finished my lunch comprised of chicken broth sauteed chicken and apples served with steamed broccoli. YUM.
During today’s work out I had a less than stellar attempt at Ab Ripper then finished up with 15 minutes of Nordic Trac Cardio with 3x 20 second sprint intervals.
Now feeling much better than I did yesterday. Yesterday proved to be a stressful day with some finance/banking...

WIW
Shark attack this week but still making positive progress. Last week 173.0 this week 168.0 a net loss of 5 lbs. A good week, all things considering.
As for my dinner posts I have no idea why my phone is posting every pic twice. Sorry for cluttering up your dashboards with superfluous pictures of dinner :) But the food was yummy!

A Boring Little Post
Getting ready for the week and I am sore all over! Did 30+ minutes of the plyometrics dvd yesterday. I am taking today off and probably going back to Ab Ripper on Tuesday.
The eating is pretty much as mundane as the vlcd gets. Had chicken and Brussels sprouts for lunch and chili for dinner. Made a bad choice to have a small glass of red wine during the Steeler game and paid for it on the...

WIW: The Do-Over Edition
Well, part of being back in the saddle here at tumblr is WIW. For the past couple of days I have been pondering my recent weight situation and it would be very easy to adopt a negative attitude about it.
But I am choosing not to go there. Instead of deciding that the last four months of my life have been a complete and utter failure, I will instead focus on the positive aspects.
Positive...

What Day IS this?
I was in the midst of writing a WIW post and just realized it’s TUESDAY! Wowsers, All these 4 day weekends have me so dazed and confused I can’t even remember what day it is.
The good news is I can postpone the dread and embarrassment of WIW for one more day, the bad news is, it really isn’t going to change much in the way of what the scale says.
Oh well, onto bigger and...

The Ugly Truth
Ok, looking back over the last couple of months I REALLY blew it. I literally gained 15 lbs in about 2 1/2 months…ouch. Why oh why does it take months and months to lose and only about a minute and a half to gain? Well, obviously it took over 2 months to gain all that weight but it seems slower when it’s coming off than when it’s getting packed back on.
Alas, now the...

I'm back....again.
Need to collect some thoughts and write a meaningful post. Oh please as if anyone cares about meaningful posts anyway.
Right now I am working on a project for some family and friends so my thoughts are rather scattered.
Lets leave it as the last 3 months of 2011 were an epic FAIL in my world of nutrition and exercise. 2012 will be better. I am sure of it!

Not so much an EPIC fail....but
I ate the remainder of my son’s ice cream cone on the way home from soccer practice today. It reminds me of my first and maybe (?) only steadfast rule…always plan ahead to avoid starvation.
Darn it I let myself get hungry and I was stuck in traffic…whine, whine, whine.
Definitely will do better tomorrow.

Meet the horse that does Yoga! →
This is a cute enough article; and you all know I love horses and I love yoga…however it is not lost on me that the woman is holding carrots to encourage this horse to stretch. Using treats to motivate a horse into “poses” is not so much a horse doing yoga, as manipulating your horse into healthy stretches. This strategy has been used by competitive and recreational riders for...

WIW: The long anticipated, post summer, train...
I guess I should make this short and sweet. Today’s weight? 156.8. This is up a full 10 lbs from my lowest weight of the summer which posted on 7/1 as 146.6. Even though I wasn’t blogging at all this summer, I have still been keeping track.
Oh well, back to the grind healthy eating, yoga posing, getting fit and slim Judy!

Getting geared up to go.
Starting to think about the weekly WIW ritual. I have been weighing myself regularly throughout my summer of debauchery and know exactly where I stand. Of course me knowing this is in chilling cold contrast to me sharing this with all of you.
I must say this weeks WIW is going to be an ugly, but necessary step to the rehabilitation of my healthy lifestyle.
The above statement just made me...

How I spent my summer -- By Judy
My excuses for not tumbling this summer:
Home PC was freezing up every time I switched screens and made posting a living hell
Working actively to rescue/rehabilitate 2 horses in the barn in which I board taking up tons and tons of time
Drinking Beer with family and friends, making for a fun but definitely NOT a low carb/fit summer
Drinking shots of cherry vodka with husband from ice luge (see...

WIW: Wine (or Whine) update
Nothing very exciting to post about lately. Eating very little food, although I thoroughly enjoyed that Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte. I very rarely drink something like that as in my normal world I would NEVER drink skim milk…but the hcg protocol makes me do silly things.
So todays weight? 147.8 lbs a reduction of 3 lbs since last week. That’s not a lot of weight for a whole week of...

STARBUCKS!
Oh Starbucks, why must you taunt me so….
I just had a skinny vanilla latte iced. It appears to have approximately 96 Calories. I’m not sure how that fits into my hcg 500 calorie VLCD day, but I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Nearly 1/2 Way Through
Very excited to note that I have only 10 days left of injections and 13 days of the VLCD.
Except for 3 days (in a row!) of wine consumption I have been doing pretty well. I think I have been feeling more hungry with this round, but I am not sure. I need to go back to my beginning posts to find out.

WIW: The hcg version
Well, folks my hcg restart program has been moving along nicely this past week. I am feeling a bit hungry now and again, which isn’t such a bad thing; but most importantly I am regaining the control over my “compulsion” to eat. It’s funny how I forget, when I am eating good food and maintaining my weight, that I am a massive compulsive eater.
Now for the WI part. Todays...

glad you’re still posting! im cheering for ya! :)
I’m still here, just going through some non-fitness related challenges. Thanks for checking in on me and helping keep me on track!!

Moving Right Along
My food has been pretty dull, my exercise practically non-existant and my life filled with work and kids. Not so much fun to blog about. I am still adjusting to a 3 day work week. I am treating patients M,W, and F and let me tell you they are turning into L-O-N-G days, but it is worth it to be able to hang with the kids all day on Tues and Thurs.
I thought Tues and Thurs would be the idyllic...

VLCD day two
So far so good. My daughter is having a birthday sleep over tonight but only 3 extra kids. The eating is moving along nicely, not even thinking of a cheat…except maybe for that bottle of Bacardi that is in my cabinet :)

Feeling a little hungry...
And after the last two days of “loading” I must admit it is a good feeling. I have all my food packed and in the work fridge for the day. It should be an interesting day one of VLCD.

Load Day #2
I am so sick I feel like I could puke. I haven’t eaten like this is sooooo many months that my body is rebelling. I could go into details but I fear it would be TMI. Just suffice it to say that I am looking forward to the VLCD days….although I know I will be crazy and bored with it in about a minute and a half.
Trying to regain my focus…….
