new update

Well, here I am....I have gained a few pounds but I am not too terribly worried about it. I know how to get rid of it.:) Really I am not fretting about it. I am excited to return to P2 for another round. I still have a long way to go and I am just taking my time. I fixed chicken ala king for dinner Sunday. It was wonderful..... I served it over spaghetti squash. I thought, I could get used to eating this way. nothing in the chicken that is not P3 friendly and so far, it seems that the squash didn't add to my weight. It was the candy bar that I grabbed that got me..........and the sad thing is, even though it didn't taste as good as I remembered it tasting, I still ate it.....oh well, we live and learn.......I am leaving for my last convention next Monday........and then the plan is to start up with P2 around the 5th or so of August.......I have 2 birthdays this week.......my son will be 18 on Saturday and his girlfriend will be 16 on Monday. I am thinking a birthday party on Sunday, that way I am only facing the sweets one day instead of 2. Well, I am off to get my hand checked.......still bothering me a lot.......
until next time, take care

Update

Hell0 everyone. Today I am just dropping a line to update you on what is going on. I am still on the P3 and holding at 250. I will start P4 tomorrow and will remain on it until August 3 and then I am going back to P2 and injections. I thought that this summer would be a great time for me to lose more weight, but with all the issues that have come up, I have not had much luck with losing more, just maintaining. As soon as school starts back up, I think it will be easier, because then I will be more on a timed schedule. I wanted to be down to 200 or less by the time the summer was over, but I think that I was way too 'hopeful' in my thinking. It was very unrealistic to think that way, and then disappointment sets in and then.........well, then I have trouble. It will come off, but I need to set some more realistic goals, so I won't be disappointed when I don't meet them. Well, gotta run........take care

challenges

Hello everyone. I haven't posted for a while, because life has gotten in the way. It has been a rough and challenging week. I have been maintaining my weigh at 248-250, but I have not been doing the injections and I have been on a P3 type eating. It has been a busy and emotional week for me. My horse has had to have stitches twice in 4 days, my son's car has broken down and my husband is struggling with work issues and we aren't sure that he will have a job for much longer. On top of that, I broke my right hand just above my thumb (good thing that I am left handed), and I am still fighting with cravings and not doing so well at winning. On the other hand, I have been doing a bit of exercise, (walking up and down the hill to get to the horse, to take care of bandages and other things) making sure that I have the water on and get the garden watered and weeded. My oh my, I sound like I am whining......maybe I am just a little. Sorry about that. Today I have to run some errands and that is about all. It should be a calmer day. Hope everyone is doing well......Until next time, take care
