Birthday Plans

Ok, so the 29th is my birthday...no, please, no Happy Birthday messages. I didn't tell you that to get a response, but to let you into my thought process. (Hang on - you're in for a bumpy ride!) Ok, so what do I want for my birthday? Well, I want more weight loss. I should be moving onto Phase 3 by the 27th and we had plans to go to my favorite bar for cheese fondue (with steamed brocholi dippers), but what I really want is to get down to the 150's - even if it's only 159 - by the time I move to the next phase.
So, here is what I am doing...I haven't had a shot for 3 days (time of the month - it's been REALLY whacked out this month) and I am hoping to not need one tomorrow either. Then I will start back up with the shots again on Monday and see how I do. Dr. Simeon said that we know that we are building an immunity to hcg when we start getting ravenously hungry, so I am going to use that as my guide.
I'll just keep on as long as my current bottle lasts and I'm not hungry. So, hopefully, happy birthday to me will be more weight loss! :) I'll keep you posted, of course.
I got a nice comment from someone at Zsweet. It sure wold be nice to get some kind of discount for all this free advertising I'm giving you guys, wink-wink. hehe But seriously, in the past my biggest sugar no-no has been a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. I am seriously addicted. If I could figure out a way to make sugar free caramel with the Zsweet, that tastes similar to theirs, I would be in heaven. (Because, as most civilized people know, java is the nectar of the gods.)
I'm going to see if I can find any bulk Zsweet locally so I don't have to have it shipped. But no hurry, obviously, since I'm going to continue with Phase 2 for a bit longer. Gives me time to search for recipes and maybe someone with more candy making skill than I, will have ideas.
I am off to Lincoln City on the Oregon coast tomorrow for some outlet shopping with a friend. I will be packing a chicken salad and a fruit with me, and told her she can have whatever she wants. I'm getting used to people eating yummy things around me. I just tell myself that 'Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!' And it's sooo true! Besides that....we will be shopping for jeans, and the only thing more motivating to weight loss than jean shopping is swim suit shopping, hehe. I'll let you know how it goes. Tootles!

Vonda - Here's hoping that you find your weight in that new decade for your birthday! What a terrific gift you'll be giving yourself when (not IF, but WHEN) you do that. And I hope you enjoy that cheese fondue - it sounds yummy! You're doing great!

Hi there! It's Briana at Zsweet again. We do love that you are talking about Zsweet and I'm going to make it my goal to find you a delicious caramel recipe for that macchiato you're craving.

I personally love the Starbucks white chocolate peppermint mocha... oh, but it's so sweet and full of sugar. It's just not right. But it tastes so good.

Ok, I'm off to find you a recipe. ")
