Weekends are most difficult
Weekends when I'm trying very hard to stick to the program are just plain difficult. If I'm not running around busy doing things, I'm sitting around at home, wanting to eat. And when we're out, it's not easy to go to a restaurant and get something that's on the program. Insane how it's difficult to get just plain meat and veggies at restaurants ( Read more... ) -
Going out to a Mexican restaurant on stimulock.. bad idea.
Last night my brother-in-law wanted to go out for dinner at a Mexican/Chinese restaurant. They are in the same building, and you can order from either menu. Weird, I know. But anyways, we decided to go eat with them. It was pretty difficult to figure out what to eat there. I decided on fajitas and asked for mushrooms in the place of bell ( Read more... ) -
Oh coffee!
Oh coffee, how I miss thee!
I'm having a cup of caffeine free coffee this morning. For every cup of it I have, I have to drink an extra cup of water. Frankly, I've had enough water! I need a bit of flavor. I miss coffee so much that this caffeine free black cup of coffee is tasting damn good this morning. -
Back on track
So, I'm done with the antibiotics as of Friday of last week. I had to re-do the load days and start over. I did the load days over the weekend and am now on day 2 of the weight loss phase. Happy to be back to seeing the pounds disappear. :) Fortunately, I didn't gain too much when I went off the snake oil, as my sister calls it. I'm hoping ( Read more... ) -
Getting better
So, I'm feeling much better now, and I am almost done taking my antibiotics. Because I was on them for more than 3 days, I have to start over with the stimulock system. I've been working hard to maintain my weight this week so that I'm not put too far behind. I had lost 12 pounds since the start of the stimulock program. Unfortunately, I gained ( Read more... ) -
Figures..
So, I've come down with an upper respiratory infection. What does that mean? That the drops on the stimulock system are not effective while I'm taking antibiotics over the next 7 days. And 7 days on antibiotics means I have to start over with the two "load days" when I'm done with the meds.
It's a set back, but not a huge one. Still sucks. -
Oh weekends!
As with any other change in eating habits I have ever tried, the weekends on the stimulock system are just difficult. The goal of stimulock is to eat and take your drops at as close to the same time of day as you can every day. I was pretty busy this weekend, and I wasn't able to take eat on my usual week day schedule. I managed to go out for ( Read more... ) -
End of week 1 on the Stimulock System
So, I'm down 5 pounds since Day 1 of Stimulock. I initially went up 3.5 pounds after the two loading days, and then down 8.5 pounds since the beginning of the weightloss phase ( Read more... ) -
Today is difficult.
I'm really craving junk food today. I've slacked on my water intake today, so maybe that's why I'm still feeling so unsatisfied with the food I've eaten ( Read more... ) -
Why did we have to make food enjoyable?
Today has been okay. I'm not feeling overly hungry or like I'm starving myself. Still trying to get used to all that water. I pee ALL THE TIME! I already miss eating delicious, tasty food. When did food become something to be enjoyed rather than just a fuel supply? Why couldn't we just leave it alone being something that gave us the energy we ( Read more... )
