Slowly, Slowly the Scale Goes Down

I am averaging a pound lost every 4 days. That is REALLY slow. However, my husband reminded me that my medication metabolism is totally different than most people's. If a doctor wants to kill the pain for me, he/she has to give me at least double the pain meds they would normally give to someone my height/weight. They never believe me at first. Most people are completely conked out with the 'normal' amount. I, however, feel no effects and they are astonished and proceed to believe me and give me more meds.
I did up my dosage this week after he reminded me of that, but no change. I did, however, fit today into a pair of jeans I couldn't get into last week, so that's awesome. I just have to say though, that I do NOT want to have to do Phase 2 more than 2 times! I have a goal, and I intend to reach it, but I'd like it to be this summer, not fall or winter...
I got an oil free moisturizer at Whole Foods yesterday and it feels great, but I am being very frugal with it. I am going to only put it on when my skin hurts during the day, and then I will put it on before going to sleep. Thanks, Toni for the ideas. :)
I cleaned out my 'fridge yesterday...how do those things get so scary?!?! It looks beautiful now, but I recommend cleaning out your refrigerator if you are hungry. One whiff of moldy whatzit is enough to curb the appetite!
I then rewarded my self for a 'job well done' by going to a movie. "What Happens in Vegas" was the reward and it was way better than I thought it would be. Very cute. It's good for a laugh (or 2), and if you go to the late show, you don't get tortured as much with the sounds and smells of food, hehe.
I've been PMSing...(should start tonight - ish), and I've been craving pickles. I am so glad we can have apple cider vinegar. I have had several tablespoons of it every time I have a craving and it really helps! I made a salad dressing using it too, and it really hits the spot when I need something tangy and salty.
We have a friend from NY staying with us for 3 weeks. I feel bad that I am not fixing her meals, but I forewarned her that this is my priority right now, and she has been really supportive. Not that she has EVER had to think about her weight. She is SUPER tiny, but she is sweet. I haven't told anyone except my husband and son about the shots, though. Everyone else thinks I am doing another cleanse. And I am in a way...I am cleansing myself PERMANENTLY from fat, right? =)
