Long time no see!!

I've been gone for a while now... from the blog at least.  And i'm back.  I have never been a good blogger, but I know I need to pick back up. 

So i've been doing maintenance for almost two weeks now.  I went into maintenance weighing 207.2.  The first few days into maintenance I lost another pound or so and got down to 205.8.  I teetered around that weight for a few days, went up and down, went WAY up to 210 and then the horrible happened.... I got the stomach flu.  I was violently throwing up for about 12-15 hours and ended up getting back down to the 205's! I know it's not the best way to lose weight, but it happened and I can't change it now.  This morning I weighed in at 205 even and have been that way for a couple of days. 

Maintenance has been a lot easier than i thought.  I was worried at first about hitting all of the calories and didn't actually do it correctly at first.  I gained when I didn't eat all of my calories, so I learned quickly that you really do need to eat them!

I've pretty much eaten everything I want to and have even treated myself to ice cream, cheeses, pizza, and a few others.  I've been surprised at the outcome!  I figured out that if you stay primarily gluten free that you can remarkably eat what you want! it's great.  After this maintenance round, i'm going to be starting Round 2 of HCG.  I'm actually starting a 40 day Round this weekend, with loading days on Saturday and Sunday.  I'm pretty excited about it!

I think that I learned enough in round 1 to know what my body does and does not like.  I'm excited also because I purchased a kit that has protein powder, gum, and other fun things in it to help with my second round.  I'm going to get below 200 this round because i won't have several tempations getting in my way. I can't wait

i'm so proud of sabrina for losing 25 lbs in round 1!  I know she's going to do so great in maintenance.

Im going to do better about blogging... especially when I start Round 2!!!
