weigh in: 165.6 lbs
YES! I have no idea why the drop in weight. I didn't especially eat to lose yesterday and even had some Oreos for the first time in forever! They just didn't taste the same, but you know when you eat something because you are bored, and it is there and you just do it. However, I didn't inhale ten or more. I had control and ate reasonably- if eating Oreos can be reasonable in any way. :)
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your weekend! Until next time!

Practice some patience
All week long my weight stayed so stable even while adding a cookie on occasion, half a flatbread to a sandwich and some delicious chocolate. I stayed within a pound range of 165.8 and 166.8 pounds. However, this morning I weighed in at 168.0 pounds. And then it dawned on me... that good ol' time of month. So I am not too worried about it and am going to try and not stress about the gain. And so begins my 5th week of maintenance. How time flies!
I have now altered my plan and I am going to practice some patience in this area of my life. I am going to start my 2nd round next Saturday.
I would also like to write about a little observation. I have noticed that wonderful effect from HCG during maintenance. For instance, one night we ordered pizza for our visitors and ourselves (not in the mood to cook) and I ate the toppings of 2 slices and felt full and quit eating. Typically, I would eat 2-3 whole pieces and still feel hungry. I love that feeling and trigger: "I am full. I don't need or want to eat anymore." So nice! I did not gain from that dinner and even lost a bit.
Anyway, hope all are well and I am off to catch up on your blogs. Thank you so very much again for the input and readership on our new business blog! Oh, and thank you to the new followers of this blog! I love it!

Pretty darn good! I have been so pleased with maintenance this round. It just goes to show with a little extra research and effort success is sure to follow!
Other than that I have just been busy on our business website and would like to solicit your thoughts once again: Are you a raVing fan yet?
I just wrote a post about the persistent beetle kill in our neck of the woods:
So, I know it is a lot to ask, but please, please help me out here and let me know your honest opinion and/or comment/follow. I would desire nothing less than complete honesty! I really need help on this and like I said I am feeling a little nervous about it and would love to have your support and constructive criticism! I promise I won't dwell on this subject for long on this blog. :) Thank you so much!

Are you a raVing fan yet?: The loss of a tree: "I had been in denial. Last summer and fall I watched with anxiousness as our beloved evergreen started showing signs of beetle infestation..."

Shameless self-promotion :)
Hi, guys! I am stealing a line from my friend to describe this post: Shameless self-promotion. :)
So here it is: I have been working on setting up a blog for our business, Raving Real Estate. If you wouldn't mind, check it out here, and let me know what you think! I know it doesn't have anything to with weight loss, but just thought I would start spreading it around to everybody and anybody. :) It is not only specific to our area, but hopefully will be helpful to many in regard to Real Estate in general. In all honesty, I am pretty nervous about this venture. As you all know, I have just blogged for my own amusement and staying connected and supported to others trying to lose weight. I guess the pressure of writing coherently, precisely and carefully is a little scary. I just really have written what it was I wanted to write in really any form I desired and now I have to be a little more cautious and professional.
So, I need to step it up a bit. I need to start figuring out all the ins and outs of blogging and start getting serious! :) I would love to figure out how to get a crazy following like Jack Sh*t or Bitchcakes or Prior Fat Girl, etc. You guys are awesome and I guess you got to be pretty interesting to start off, right?! :) So anyway, I would so appreciate your input first and foremost and if you want to follow, subscribe or share- that would, of course be wonderful too! :)
Thank you all so very, very much! You all are an incredible network of people and I respect and appreciate you all!!!
PS- I have replied to several of your comments on the post you commented on and have realized I probably should have gone to your blog and commented. :) Can't expect people to come back and check if I replied or not. :) So I will try to be better about that... Thanks again!

A simple thank you would be nice...
weigh in: You guessed it! 167.4 pounds :)
This is so nice, because what I have not posted is that I have had M&M's, a little ice cream last night, half of a pancake a day ago, apple juice and some yogurt (at the beginning of P3 dairy was giving me trouble). I am so pleased with maintenance this time around. I can do this! Thinking about starting round 2 next week. We will see...
Anyway, I would like to discuss the art of thankfulness. So, I have posted my success on Facebook for all my "good" friends to see and without fail a couple girls will ask me to give them further information. I gladly do this, because I get really excited about sharing HCG and like to be the one to introduce it as- "Even though it worked for me, be aware that it may not work for you. It is not easy! You really should get a doctor's okay (how many people really heed that advice- I mean I didn't). It is not an easy fix, regardless of looking that way. Read Dr. Simeons' Manuscript and then I will help you from there." Sometimes I even give the person a link to my blog, which takes a lot of guts sometimes because I am pretty transparent here- and most people don't even have the decency of saying anything. I have quit doing this, because I have found it is far too generous and not appreciated anyway.
That is how I started out and therefore believe it is wise to not just jump headlong into something that you could very easily screw up. Anyway, some read it and research and go for it and these people have immense success... others don't read it and do one of two things: do it anyway (very, very bad!), or dismiss it and go on with their lives (perfectly acceptable). Some are successful, some find it not to their liking and others fail miserably and wonder why?! Really pisses me off, if you couldn't tell. :) These people are usually just looking for something that will take the fat off fast (a vain venture). These people do not think about the fact of however you choose to lose weight it requires a lifelong commitment and lifestyle change.
Okay, what happens after I give the information is not really my point. My point is, "thank you" seems to be out of fashion. I mean whatever a person does with the information is their business, but a simple "thank you" for your time and all the links and experience pointers seems to evade people. What is up with that?! That is why I quote "good" friends, because I am sorry over half the people listed as your "friends" on Facebook are really not your friend. Stupid Facebook! Okay, I really don't mean that, but you get my point.
Just yesterday I asked Jack Sh*t about tabs at the top of a blog and am very grateful for his time and effort on helping an aliterate person such as myself. :) Thank you again! So, start looking for a blog face lift in the near future! :) Here is the link he gave me just in case anyone else is interested: Blogger Buzz
I am gradually learning- it is only taking a couple years. lol!
Anyway, just a little annoyed with people who don't feel the need to thank a person. I am not asking for a handwritten, fancy thank you note... just a reply of thanks, I got the information and appreciate your time.
I am sure I will continue to respond to "these" people, because I just can't be rude myself. Just want those of you who have cared enough to say a little thank you- that I am thankful to hear these two little words and so happy HCG has been able to help some of you!
Take care!
