oh wow!!
Increasing the water really made a difference I lost 2.4 pounds in one day.. I have now lost 6 pounds since last Tuesday.. I can't tell yet, but I'm totally stoked about the end results..Yesterday I worked out in the pool, today I am going to do a toning dvd and maybe the pool again or the eleptical.. Sam is treating me to the movies today. We are going to go see Bridesmaids.. I hope its still out.. Jeff has lost 9 pounds since Wednesday.. You should see the smile on his face. He is so happy it is working.. The only thing is he is getting tired of salad.. we are going to make some of the recipes that came in the book, but I have to order some of the sugar free products . Our health store here doesn't have them. I should go back in there and see if she would order them with her next order.. hmmm? I was able to get the coffee Jeff wanted and I discovered so many new flavors of coffee.. I think I'm going to get me some mud slide that sounds yummy.. I'm really not having any food problems at all. I'm not hungry like I thought I would be. I like alot more veggies than Jeff so I'm not tired of just eating veggies and meat.. My only complaint is my dry skin.. you can't use any lotions or creams or moisturizing shampoo's. You have to use all natural stuff. So my skin is really really dry. They recommend using mineral oil to moisturize your skin which I do, but its just not the same as my lotion.. My hair feels really dry too, but that could also be from all my coloring..In all I'm very pleased with the HCG , I just hope the weight continues to come off..

oh you know..
I am finially down to below what I weighed before L.A. left us high and dry... I'm loosing about a half a pound a day. My cousin sujested I drink more water so I'm gonna give it a try...We cooked up a bunch of meat yesterday so Jeff would have food on the truck.. Its really kinda neat doing that cause now I don't have to cook until Thursday...which is great for me cause I hate to cook.. Jeff did try squash last night and he liked it grilled so thats good..He is sending me to Decoty coffee today to get him this coffee flavor that we had at my cousins.. He loved it and we can't find it in the stores here. We have a kureg coffee maker and they don't even sell it in the k-cups, but luckily it came with a little filter thingy that you can put your own coffee in it. Its really messy like that , but oh well the man wants the coffee..I really liked my cousins coffee maker you just put your cup under a spout and pressed down on a lever..... I am so in the shopping mood since I got a little taiste over the weekend.. Its been so long since I have bought me anything.. but i will wait ...Jordan spent the entire weekend with Austin , he called me at 11:30 yesterday morning asking me to come and get him. Everyone was still a sleep over there.. I don't think he will stay over there again.. He said the house was messy and they smoke in the house so it stunk.. (he stunk like a stale bar) I can't believe Mandy is still smoking , when she even made comments about Temple smoking when she was pregnant.. Not only that, but to be told you have one stage before cerivacle cancer. I just don't get it, if you wanted to get pregnant like she said she did why still smoke. She quit with the other two..Plus smoking in the house thats just gross..okay enough of that...I think I'm going to take a break from walk/run out at the koa. since I saw that one snake and then Tia posting the snake they saw and then the news talking about 5 pets being bit by rattle snakes. I just don't like the feeling I'm having about being out there.. So I am going to go with Rachel tomorrow night to the stadium or at least find out why she said the gates were open when they were closed for us.. And I'm just going to work out in the pool and here on my equipment for a little bit.. I was going to use my kinect this week, but now Jeff's xbox is acting up..figures!

Holy Cow!!!
Jeff lost 4 pounds in one day!!!! The turkey has almost lost 10 pounds in 4 days!!!!!Tree cutting did him good... oh and I forgot to tell you earlier I have decided that if we stop to get tattoo's I'm getting a lady bug on my big toe, and if we still have time I'm getting the baby feet on the back of my ankle to finish my tatt. Only if yall are still getting yours done will I get the feet, cause I can have that done anytime.. and I don't think the lady bug would take that long to do .
our busy day
oh boy was our day busy.. we started with hauling off a lot of dead tree branches that we have needed to for over a year. I know were bad.. Then we cut half of a mesquit tree down... It was hanging over our neighbor's house almost touching the roof so we had to do something.. I thought we were just going to trim it back like we had before (hinc dead tree branches) , but nope Jeff and Cole cut it down.. You should have seen Jeff up in this tree and Cole with a rope pulling the branch away from neighbors house . I should have taken pictures, but I was in momma mode. This is very dangerous work.. These branches were huge..We now have to cut all the branches in to small branches so we can haul it all off. Except for the good part of the wood. Jeff uses it to cook with.. I don't know if we will do that today or next weekend.. The guys do need a day of rest before the work week.. They call me a slave driver, but come on I'm not an evil slave driver..Friday I bought me a new dress from Sam's .. It is a meadium. I haven't wore a medium in so long I don't even remember.. I also got me a new necklace and earrings at the chicken farm on Saturday morning ( before tree cutting) Oh and I also got me new sandals on Friday.. Not the ones I saw online that I wanted , but they will work for now.. I 'm thinking about getting some sandles with a slight wedge to them.. They say heels make your legs look better.. I haven't bought myself anything in such a long time. I didn't even feel guilty this time...I lost another pound as of this morning.. Jeff is still in bed so I don't know what his is..When he weighed yesterday he had only lost 2 ounces... So if he hasn't lost anything today he will have to do the fasting.. Thats where you don't eat all day , just drink water then at dinner time you eat a 10 ounce steak.. So far I haven't felt hungry.. My mind plays tricks on me sometimes cause I'm a bordum snacker so I think I'm hungry , but when I get up and start doing something it goes away.. Jordan stayed all weekend at Mandy's hanging with Austin.. It was very quiet around here.. I miss the little turd...

So far so good
I started the HCG drops on May 31. So for two days your suppose to gorge yourself. I did and of course gained 1 pound for doing so. Well this morning I weighed and I have lost the one pound I gained plus 1 more pound. So I'm down 2 pounds, but really just 1 pound from first weigh in. Yesterday was my first day of strict eating. And I really didn't feel hungry until late in the evening. Then I realized it was all the stupid food commercials, I really wasn't hungry. So I would just change the channel when a food commercial came on. which is all the fricken time.. No wonder Americans are so over weight...As far as the eating choices I'm good, its basically what I was doing before. Meat and veggies just alot less . One thing I'm having a hard time adjusting to is no creamer for my coffee..You can't have any dairy, you can have 1 tablespoon sugar free creamer in a 24 hour period. So I drink 2 cups everyday. One cup taste like shit , the other taste like half shit...I have never used sugar in my coffee just french vanilla creamer. So now I have bought the french vanilla flavord coffee and stevia... Not the same, but I can do this .. I can sacrafice 21 days of no creamer if it will mean I will lose the weight... Already jealous of Jeff he is on day 3 which means today is his first day of the strict diet.. He lost 3 pounds on his pig out days... So not fair.. He got to pig out and lose 3 pounds in two days...Just found out that we are allowed to go to the bobcat stadium . I'm going to start that today. I may only be able to do one set of stairs , but its a start...

house info.
So my cousin the Realator came over today. I was so nervous for her to see our house. To me its a fixer upper. She said our house was not a fixer upper, it just needed a few touches here and there. She gave me some great idea's and in all would only cost us about $100 to do them. I know I would feel better with them done, I just thought it would have cost us more than that. Its stuff that I can do , so summer projects here I come.. This is actually good , cause it will keep me busy and not think about food..She ran the comps. in our area and we only gained $7000. Well after closing cost, realator fee's , and paying off the house, we wouldn't walk away with much... Not enough to put down on a new house.. So we are gonna wait.. I'm gonna do my projects and maybe Jeff will get started again on his storage building and we will just be happy here... I said if God wants us to move then it will work out smoothly and its not , so were staying put... Odd thing is I really feel good about it. I think the reason I wanted to move so badly is because it would be some place new with lots of new things to do. Once I got to thinking about packing and moving and all the deposits and truck rental and gas money , that kinda made me think twice..We are leaving it in Gods hands . If Jeff does get transfered up to New Fairview then we will deal with moving... So day two of my drops has been very different. I still had to pig out today, but oddly wasn't hungry.. I know mark it down thats a first.. I ate a egg and bacon burrito at about noon, then at about 4 I stuffed myself with 3 slices of Digorno pizza.. I'm still bloated like crazy.. So thats all I have ate, I'm gonna eat a chocolate cookie here in a bit, cause if I don't then I will think about them tomorrow and I can't have them..Tomorrow I will began my very strict eating plan .
It came
Our HCG came in the mail yesterday!!! I'm so happy. I actually took my first drops yesterday. The first two days your suppose to eat lots of fatty foods while on the drops. So since I made enchilladas for supper Monday I just ate left overs for lunch , then ate chicken and mashed potatoe's . I haven't had mashed potatoes in such a long time. They were soooo good. So today I don't know what I'm gonna eat. I want something good since its my last day to eat good for a while.. hmmm , gonna have to think about it...My cousin Brendy is a Realator and she is coming by the house today to look at it.. She said right now its a buyers market so that may hurt us on selling the house , but really help us in buying a new one.. Just gonna have to wait and see what she says. I didn't sleep good last night thinking about her coming over and looking at the house. We have so many unfinished projects, its embarrassing ..Some things Jeff said he would finish others not so much...
