Hi everyone - thanks again for all the support!

I decided to take the full dose at 9 am, I had a fundraiser to go to in the evening so I knew I needed to be full on for a long evening out.

Fuel:
B-fast taco - egg some low fat cheese and picante, orange juice

Coffee

Lunch - lean cuisine meal

80 oz water throughout day

Dinner - a few slices of brisket, iced tea

split a hot fudge sunday with hubby

white wine - 2 glasses and boy oh boy did i pay for it - I'm thinking wine and phen dont mix - horrible hang over!

Stats:
Weight : 138

Measurements:
Breast - 36
Upper arms - 11.5
waist - 29
tummy "pooch" area - 33
Hips - 40
Thighs - 21 ugh!!!
Calves - 15

Before kids I was 34-24-36 - would love to get those 36" hips back but I really think my bone structure in that area changed after kids.

Darn kids...they really do a number on our bodies!! hahaha. You are doing great, keep up the great work!

Yes, the kids do a number on our bodies and sanity (at times). The weekends are always so busy, and yesterday I had a sick child home. So, here is Tuesday and I forgot to take phen yesterday. Weight loss is still just at 1 pound but I have not been excercising. I could name a hundred great excuses but thats all they are and I need to get serious about this if I really want to be in a bikini in Hawaii.

When I took the full phen the other day I was up until around 3am, heart racing etc.. So, today I am back to taking 1/2 a pill.

Oh...the good news is that I received my acceptance letter to the Tx A&M nursing program this weekend!! I am so excited, I have worked really hard, I have a 4.0 so (not to be braggy) I though I would get in. But, you never know, so having the letter in hand felt good. Now, I have to do a drug screening and I am worried about the phen showing a positive for amphetemines. Ugh --- what a nightmare that would be?! I have a RX, so I guess I should just tell them from the get go, or stop taking it for a few days.

Well, thats all I have today. Maybe I will get my head out of the books and excercise today. Then my post tomorrow will be better

Congrats on your acceptance into the RN program! That is so great! I totally agree about the phen and wine thing. My doctor told me not to drink, but ofcourse I tried it anyway. . .big mistake! Although it is really swee that your husband does that for you You are doing great on your weight loss. Don't get frustrated. The first 10 pounds are always the easiest to loss. Stay focused ~ you can do this! I don't know about the drug screen. . .it will depend on what the look for. I would be honest up front ~ phen is a regular prescription (that a real doctor gave to you). If you were doing it on your own online, I might be worried. You could also call your doctor and ask what they think is best. . .Keep up the good work!

Wow awesome on the RN Program...Im a Paramedic for about 12 years now, so if you have any questions about anything...Im here to help!!!
During drug tests they will ask what prescriptions you are taking so just be upfront and bring meds with you...

Hang in there you are doing great and definately headed in the right direction!!!

Woo hoo!!!! Congrads on that nursing program...I am sure you are proud of yourself...I am too! Wow! I know that felt good..have a great night!

Thank you for the congrats on nursing - I am so excited The past week has been pure craziness with school.I was able to get a student loan so that took a great deal of pressure off. I dont think I need to get a job for now. We booked our volcano helicopter tour for Hawaii - OMG - it better be worth it - nearly 1000 for our family of five.

Phen stuff: I haved started taking full dose, and I find if I take it very early (5-6am) I can sleep by 10-11 pm. Otherwise I have a hard time sleeping.

Weight loss - overall is 4 lbs in 12 days - I think I need to start getting up around 5 to make time to excercise, I used to do this and I loved it. But its a cycle, if you dont go to sleep early, you will not want to do. Tomorrow - I am making it official - I will start at least 30 min of elevated cardio in some form or another every day OK since I wrote it - it better happen - right? You ladies can kick my as* if not!

Fuel report - well since I have been bad on reporting this - I can tell you that I have been good about watching what I eat, although there are plenty of days I forget to eat enough and I know thats not helping in the weight loss. Need fuel to burn calories. Breakfast is usually a Light and Fit yogurt and half a cup coffee, yesterday lunch was rice and shredded pork and dinner was small cup of homemade chicken tortilla soup. And lots of water.

Have a great ladies - you are awesome role models and support!
