Went yesterday for an appointment for energy healing with Marley. She runs 'bars'. Energy lines in a person. We talked about weight and money. Basically I'm still working on those two things. They are my most challenging issues. Went well.
Comes down to loving self. Really can't say much more then that, or on it. Loving self, loving body etc is the best way to heal self and issues. Will continue on with that.
The guys working on the siding have been busy. They are now at having most of the siding done. Only the front needs the siding, then all the fiddly things and window trim. It's dark. Looks like dark chocolate (hum...delicious) but it's really eggplant purple. When the sun hits it, and you look close you can see it's purple. I love it! It's like me - look at it, and it's one colour, but when you look closer you see the true colour. 😄😺
Today I ate:
B - oatmeal (IP type) rhubarb, coffee 8am
S - chips (so hungry and still early) 11am
L - 1/2 shake, egg white, bit (3/4 cup) of cauliflower/broccoli, cucumber, tea 1pm
D - port mushrooms with turkey burger, pickle, jicama fries, tea, chayote, and then my chocolate bar (IP) 530pm.
I'm so full after dinner - feel I ate too much. Isn't that funny? There is no snack tonight as I'm 1/2 over IP. The oatmeal was ok, but I think I like more the pancake or muffin or bread kind of meal at breakfast. The veg at breakfast is good - I use 1/4 cup, seems to be just enough to make breakfast comfortable. I need though to work at a balance between breakfast and lunch, and then not have all the food for dinner. I feel fat tonight. I'm not, but still, I have this fear to weigh in tomorrow morning. I was down .9 lb this morning. Sigh. Still have work to do on that weight issue/weight thoughts......

Sunday Thoughts
Today was a beautiful day. So was yesterday. Got a bit - very bit - done in the garden. Have decided once the house is done with the siding, we will get gravel and then river rock to put around, 1 foot out. To make it safer from critters that like to dug and live under the house. We tried with mulch, but that didn't really work. Will probably take me a month to do around. I worked a bit in one of our gardens today. Just put down 5 bags of dirt. Still need about another 5 bags for that garden.
Tomorrow is suppose to be a little rainy in the morning, but better in the afternoon, so that means they will probably come and start the siding. We had to cancel the foaming under the house as there was ant/water damage, and that needed to be repaired!
Years ago we tried going to T-Zone. It's a Vibration machine place. Suppose to help with weight loss, muscle strengthening, and blood flow. We did 10 sessions, was ok. Problem was the cost and it was winter, and for 10 minutes... it wasn't something we continued. A friend in the community here that AJ knows better, found out we were going there. Years later, this morning she sent AJ an email and asked if we wanted her machine. She decided her and her hubby were never going to use it, it was sitting in the corner, and they were re-doing their sunroom and needed it gone. Offered it to us: for free, if we wanted it. YES!
With not exercising, other then walking, and very limited weights... I find I'm not doing enough exercise. And on IP, I struggle with being tired a lot. Though to be fair, I have chronic fatigue, so it's not exactly IP doing it. With the machine, I can at least try to do something, it's only 10 minutes about 5 times a week. Now that it's in the sunroom, I can get on it and watch TV for 10-15 minutes. And if we don't use it that much...at least we didn't lose any money on it. Maybe even try selling it? I suspect it will be here for at least a few years.
Last couple of days, much better eating/starving/hungry wise. Not as hungry. I'm also adding a bit of veg in the morning meal. Like today it was 1/4 cup rhubarb compote with 2 muffins, and coffee.
Hopefully the T-Zoning won't add weight, but help lose inches, and the less hungry feelings will lose the weight!

Possibles
So this week I have been dealing with hunger. I've found out a few possibles of why:
A) I'm close to my goal weight.
B) I'm not having enough / having too much protein.
C) It's just my mind and not my body.
D) It's spices.
Damn spices.... I suddenly noticed for some reason, that the 2 mixed spices I have been using (found via Poon facebook, and having been using a lot since on IP) actually have sugars in them! I stopped those immediately. One is a PC garlic mix, other is Clubhouse Parm & Herb. How silly of my not to study them, and just assume because others on Poon were using them, they were ok.
In regards to B... I don't know, just have to continue.
With A... I realized, as of today - my IP weigh in yesterday resulted in 3 pounds down - that I am at 191.4 lbs, and really, I'm only 11or 12 pounds away from 180 lbs, which my body is use to being the last few times. WOW. I'm so far down! I still want to aim for 160 lbs, with a possible 150 lbs. Would like to settle between 155 and 165 lbs. If I take it as 10 pound goals, it's not that long! I'm stunned.
And C.... THAT one I need to deal with. I do think there's some validity to it. I know at times I feel I'm hungry, but after 30 minutes I'm doing ok. I just never seem to have that really full feeling. It makes me also plan for 'when I'm finished' and eating. Not a good idea. There is no when I'm finished and eating - going back to old habits. I just don't want to do that. Some how I need to let go of those dreams/thoughts, and figure out how to be comfortable with less foods, and maybe even accepting never feeling all that full. I wonder though if once I'm eating protein at lunch and dinner if I will feel fuller. Another thing, I need to remember to use oil. I tend to forget to add my 2 teaspoons of oil to my food. I try to cook a bit more with oil as I forget adding so I at least have some oil in me.
Today I made a pot roast in the slow cooker, look forward to dinner! Will have it with cauliflower. Tonight we are going to a comedy night at the rec center here. I have decided to save 1/2 protein shake with spinach (which I made a full pkg yesterday and had 1/2 already), and 1 pkg of potato chips to bring with me. That made:
B - 1/2 brownie with 1/4 rhubarb compote, coffee, bit of protein vanilla, and 1/2 pancake muffins
L - 1/2 of pancake muffins with 1/4 rhubarb compote, salad - lettuce and cucumbers, coffee, bit of protein vanilla
D - 3 cups veg, 6 oz cooked pot roast, tea
Will bring water and a few cucumber slices along with 1/2 veg, and shake/chips as my snack at the show.
I'm still a bit hungry, but not as bad or as crazy as I have been. So glad.

Rambling Along
Not much happening today. Except outside! They are working away at the house. They found yesterday some boards that had been wet, years ago. From the bathroom window there must have been a leak, good that we had replaced the windows the first year we bought the house. The wooden beams are mush. Thankfully the house is standing and it's an easy repair. So glad we are replacing the siding. Another spot was in the front window, but not as bad as the other one.
I am still semi-hungry all the time. I am beginning to think it's not so much that my body is that hungry, it's more my thinking/mind that is. My body is just reacting? I am trying to do the packages better - as in doing one full one instead of breaking them in half etc. Today I'm just down 1.5 lbs. Will see tomorrow what the weigh in will be. And it's a day earlier too. (Thursday instead of Friday).
My face is breaking out horribly. Welts like crazy around my nose/forehead. They hurt at times. Using a bit of apple cider vinegar to cool them and dry them. It's the dairy in the packages. I will continue as I want the weight off! I will work at my face as best as I can.
This early up is too much. ha ha. It's only 1030 am and I'm ready for lunch! Oh well, guess I will have some tea.

Starving
This weekend I've been starving!! Even ended up getting up at 3 am to sip a bit of my protein shake as I couldn't sleep. Not the first time since being on IP that I've done this. I really don't get why I am SO hungry on this plan. I eat and then I could still eat. But I don't.
I've been tired too. I feel weak, and have been careful on doing any exercise. Today I did do 2 sets of weights - gently. I just feel I need to do a bit of exercise. I did the weights at home too so it wasn't that hard.
Ended up eating a total of 5 packages today. A lot of 1/2 packages that ended up equaling 5 in total. I do feel better, and I'm having a tea now. Something I don't tend to do so late at night. One of the other things this weekend, I wasn't drinking a lot of water. Kinda slowed on the water intake. Funny thing was, the water didn't taste good. I know, weird. Water is beginning to taste better this evening. I checked my weight this morning....still the same as last Friday. Sigh.
I am surprised though that I have been so hungry and I continue to refuse to cheat. I know I ate a bit more packages, but I have not touched to my mouth any of the other food in the house. Especially since I have to buy food for AJ. Like big delicious (he says they are juicy and sweet) strawberries. Or my soft protein bread and almond butter that AJ is also eating..... I will not cheat! I have no desire to gain weight or hold back on my weight loss. Which makes seeing my weight the same a bit sad.
I had to check last night at my numbers. Hoping it would help me. Sorta did, but not enough to make me feel good about it, yet I am grateful. Since starting Poon, I have lost 47.5 lbs and 24 inches. On IP I have (in the last 3 weeks) lost 13 lbs and 9 inches. The Poon numbers include IP numbers. I realize both numbers and timing are good. Just wish I had a bit more. I am working at accepting I will not be 180 lbs by June 15th. I just don't see that happening....though anything can happen and there is a tiny spark hoping inside me.
I know it is an every day, every moment work at it plan which will only truly show the bigger amounts as a past. Which means, I need to wait another 3 months from now to truly see how great (?) my results are, but it is only today's work that I can focus on. Well, doesn't that sound confusing? It's like me looking at the numbers and realizing I have lost 47.5 lbs since I started. I remember thinking way back then - would I ever get under 200 lbs? Now I wonder - will I ever get to 150 lbs? I'm basically at the half way point. Wow.
Gave all those clothes I bagged away this afternoon. On facebook in the community there's a boy collecting clothes for the Scouts. PM'd the mother and said he could have mine. They came this afternoon. I got a skort from Costco yesterday, in medium. A bit tight. But I really liked it. Going back tomorrow to get another (in medium) different colour. I have goals! 😻
Got a call from Bill tonight. They are coming at 730 am tomorrow to start the siding, YES.

What?
Was a good daughter.... we went to see my mother (and aunt) this morning. Takes about 2 hours to drive down, and 2 hours back. Basically stayed just over 2 hours. It was her birthday yesterday. Brought her the usual present - flower. She likes flowers, and really doesn't want anything else.
We go for a semi-breakfast/lunch. She made AJ pancakes etc. I brought my IP meals with me as I am not willing to cheat! My aunt has reached her goal weight of 165-170 lbs, and still continues to bring her snack over too. I brought 1 vanilla pudding shake made into 2 containers and frozen, 2 muffins (equals 1 pkg), some lettuce/cucumber/ celery and dressing, and lastly 1 cup jicma with some WF caramel/chocolate syrup.
When we got there, I pulled out 1 container of the shake, some lettuce - put some in a small bowl and put the rest away, and my 2 muffins. It wasn't much. My mother looked at it, looked at me and said: "You are eating SO much?" Me: blank look, uh? What? I truly didn't know what to say. I looked at my bowl of lettuce - a SMALL bowl, my 2 SMALL muffins, my thin container of shake, and my now made small cup of tea. Seriously???? She repeated herself again, stating was I going to eat all that. I kinda thought, go back to not noticing I have lost weight. I really didn't know how to respond.
Later, before we left, I pulled out my jicma as I knew I was hungry and didn't want to be nuts driving home or nuts at home. She looked. I ate.
I asked AJ on the drive home about my food. He said it was fine, I didn't have a lot. My mother ate 2 slices of raisin bread with butter/jam, a pancake with some strawberries, a few slices of turkey and coffee/cream.
Years ago, statements like these would have made me want to eat. Now, I just am sad..... and I want to go clothes shopping. But then, the shopping is probably because last night when I was trying to figure out what to wear, I ended up bagging 2 green garbage bags full of clothes that are too big on me. YEAH! Guess it didn't help my mother either when my aunt asked for a sweater because she was cold, and I asked for one too. She gave me the smaller of the two - and it fit me. FYI my mother weighs 165 lbs today, per her report.
It just brings on sadness, and I know it doesn't have to do with me personally. Or that I need to take it personally. Unfortunately, I still end up thinking about it, and working thru it. I'm better when I don't see her too often. Kinda makes me really want to weigh 145 lbs! 😁😄😜 Ok, ok, I know - I need to find my weight because of myself - not because of her.
Onward!
Today's rest of my food: got home and had the rest of my lettuce/dressing, 1 egg scrambled with a bit of egg white. Put my 1/2 container away for tomorrow and had 1/2 broccoli cheese soup loaf that I made yesterday. (equals: 2 == 1 pkg loaf/shake, along with the 1 pkg of muffins I had already) Means I can still have a 1 pkg tonight as snack. Dinner will be bison stew (4 oz cooked, made last night: lunch egg makes up my 8oz meat for the day), and 2 1/2 cups of cauliflower with 1/2 cup chayote. (ate 1cup jicma already for a total of 4 cups veg) And water.....tea....water......tea....water......
Yesterday's weigh in with Laura was 1.8 pounds down, and another 2 1/2 inches. I was aware I might have a little weight loss as the last two weeks were 7 and 5 pounds. I'm hoping my next one will be better. But then again - as long as it's down! I started back with my weights yesterday too - but only doing one set of everything and no cardio - other then walking Jax. Figured that would be a good balance between not over exercising yet still doing some exercise as I don't want to get too far off of not exercising and then not ever getting back to it. Especially since we planned Josh for every third week instead of every week.
I bought a regular XL top, and shorts at Joe Fresh yesterday. AJ says I should go to Winners and look as I will now fit in there, and since we are holding off going to Boston. Not going anymore in October. I feel too stressed, and I want to be stable with my weight before going. At this point I don't know if we will ever go. Maybe I will visit my friend in Windsor instead and cross boarder shop then. Just a thought.

Hot..hot..hot
I'm so glad it's warm and sunny out... but I'm not one for the hot and humid. Ugh.
Will be nice for me when the weather breaks back to more comfortable heat. Funny thing is with all this humid/hot - I don't want to drink water. Not that I want to drink anything else, I just don't want to drink. That makes getting the water down trickier.
Laura says I'm not to weigh myself. But we know that's not going to work!!! At this rate, tomorrow's weigh in with her will be around 2 pounds down - give or take. How do I feel about that? Well... 2 pounds every week will add up. I really would love to be at 180 pounds for June 15th. My birthday. Today I'm weighing in at 195 lbs. At least, God willing, I will be close. I really don't believe I would even of had a chance with Dr Poon. Not saying Dr Poon isn't a good plan, just needed a bit more weight loss visual for me. Dr B was pleased and wanted me to move to Phase 2 with Poon....uh, yeah, not going to happen at the moment. I have decided my goal is 145-150 lbs. But will accept 160 lbs. I'm hoping I will stabilize at around 150-155 lbs and be able to maintain that weight. Right now the interesting thing will be getting under 180 lbs. (since my body does know 180 lbs, and I've never really tried that hard to get under it, and just settled there.)
Last few days I've been hungry. Really hungry. I read facebook about people not able to eat all the 4 cups of veggies. What the &(#)$??? I could and then a bit more. Thankfully, the other day there was a post asking if people were hungry and a lot posted yes. Well, that's good to know!
Today a breakfast I had 1/2 mug cake cookies, and 2 muffins = 1 package. And coffee with a bit of shake in it.
Lunch worked better for the first time in days - I had lettuce with WF dressing, and 2 cups broccoli. What did it was I had ONE whole vanilla pudding package with a bit of water and ice whipped up into a frozeny drink. That was so delicious. It really helped fill me.
Dinner today will be - salmon (get a total of 9 oz as it's fish), 1/4c choyate apples, 1 3/4 c other veg (haven't figured out what), plus tea.
Snack either a bar and jello, or some chips... and maybe jello.

Well... 2 pounds every week will add up. I really would love to be at 180 pounds for June 15th. My birthday. Today I'm weighing in at 195 lbs. At least, God willing, I will be close. I really don't believe I would even of had a chance with Dr Poon. Not saying Dr Poon isn't a good plan, just needed a bit more weight loss visual for me. Dr B was pleased and wanted me to move to Phase 2 with Poon....uh, yeah, not going to happen at the moment. I have decided my goal is 145-150 lbs. But will accept 160 lbs. I'm hoping I will stabilize at around 150-155 lbs and be able to maintain that weight. Right now the interesting thing will be getting under 180 lbs. (since my body does know 180 lbs, and I've never really tried that hard to get under it, and just settled there.)
Last few days I've been hungry. Really hungry. I read facebook about people not able to eat all the 4 cups of veggies. What the &(#)$??? I could and then a bit more. Thankfully, the other day there was a post asking if people were hungry and a lot posted yes. Well, that's good to know!
Today a breakfast I had 1/2 mug cake cookies, and 2 muffins = 1 package. And coffee with a bit of shake in it.
Lunch worked better for the first time in days - I had lettuce with WF dressing, and 2 cups broccoli. What did it was I had ONE whole vanilla pudding package with a bit of water and ice whipped up into a frozeny drink. That was so delicious. It really helped fill me.
Dinner today will be - salmon (get a total of 9 oz as it's fish), 1/4c choyate apples, 1 3/4 c other veg (haven't figured out what), plus tea.
Snack either a bar and jello, or some chips... and maybe jello.
