Not-So-Creative November

I really wish I had something creative to blog about, but I just can't seem to find it in me so far this month.  Nothing bad has happened,  just been feeling so run down lately.  I officially lost 19 pounds on my diet!  I wanted to lose 25 but I think my body was telling me otherwise because I just kept hanging onto those last 6 pounds and started feeling AND looking bad.  Not a great feeling when people start telling you, "hey, you look so skinny!  But you look bad, too!" :)   Pale & exhausted just weren't worth it anymore.   So I am moving into the stabilization part (phase 3) which means no more HCG drops, and increasing my calorie intake to around 1500-1800 a day.  I also get to have dairy and good fats back which I cannot express how happy that makes me.  Cheese please!!!!!!!  Oh, and NUTS!!! :)  The exciting part is that because you are still eating so healthy and low cal, that people often continue to lose a little more weight and inches.  Plus I am ready to start working out again.  I've missed it and my body has really missed it.

I would have to count this diet as being very successful.  It was tough and took a lot of self-discipline and contrrol but I was able to accomplish the 2 things I wanted:  losing some weight and reducing my blood pressure medicine (down to a half of a pill now!) and just feeling better in general.

It is Friday afternoon at work and it is so incredibly boring that I have been doing absolutely nothing productive.  In fact, after finishing today's blog, I may just take a little nap :)

Have a great weekend!!
