Ok so today was my official two week weigh in and for me that is the first weigh in ever with the Dr. and yes I was very nervous, I did ok for the past two weeks but I was having a hard time with breakfast and changing things up a little.
Anyway so lets get to the good news so my total weight loss for this weigh in was 11.8lbs now first of all let me say my eye almost fell out of my head, I have never seen this kind of weight loss before on any other health plan I have followed other than on TV on The Biggest Loser haha and I was sure happy. I also know that 4.4lbs of this weight loss is water but that still leaves me 7.4lbs of pure and total FAT :) either way I am very happy and hop that I can get another weight loss like that in the next two weeks.
So now for the bad news I had a bunch of stuff and running around that I had to do today as well as some family dentist appointments to attend, well I didn't get everything finished on time and cooking was going to be too late for the kids so my husband took us all out to dinner. First of all I have not eaten out for two weeks and have not learned what I can eat and can not eat fully on this plan yet. But anyway we went, and the kids wanted to go to this buffet that is close to our house, I almost freaked out I had no clue what I was going to eat to stay on plan. At first I was doing good but then this sweet chicken threw my whole plan off, after that you can say the rest of the night was a right off.
I don't know why I do this to my self my husband said to me not to worry one day is not going to ruin everything. I really want to believe him but for a man who does not have one ounce of fat on his body and is ripped with muscle and has never had to watch what he eats I can't really count on what he says. All I know is that for the next two weeks before my next weigh in I have to be 100% perfect when it comes to eating because if I don't lose anything or worse if i gain i only have my self to blame. (oh and my husband too) LOL

Phase One on Dr. Poon
Well this has been a heck of a week (well a little over a week) and I have had my ups and downs. The one good thing is I have not been hungry like I thought I was going to be I can eat as much as I need to in order to be full as long as I am eating the right thing.
One problem I am having is have to cook "old food" for the rest of my family and then me eating something very different, that has been hard. For example the kids wanted french fry's/onion rings and burgers so I had to make that for them the other day and it just smelt so yummy to me, I just wanted to eat one. But I knew in my heart if I ate one I would not be able to stop there so I held my self back and made my self a salad.
Then it happened again on Saturday we had spent most of the day out and I woke up late to start off with and didn't get to eat my usual egg white omelet, we had to leave as soon as I got up. Then after getting everything done of course the kids and my Hubby were all hungry and wanted a old family fave Burger King so off we went and they all got there usual and we went home. As they were all sitting around the table eating I was in the kitchen making my dinner and by the way I was starving by then. It took all my will power not to sneak over to the table and eat a few fry's but I didn't.
I am very proud of my self because since I have started this weight loss journey I have not cheated even one time. :) (**pats self on back **) By now on almost every other thing I have tried I would have given up and cheated once or twice. This just tells me that I am in this for the long haul and I can do it.
So I guess you can say I have grown a little this week and for me that's huge, little by little I am going to be able to do this and I will be happy with my self again because I did it for my self.
So I have 4 days left until I have reached my official 2 week mark and my first weigh in ever on this plan I'm doing good and can't wait to get my print out from the Dr. I will say I am happy to have a way to gauge if I am doing well or not with the ketone strips it has been helping me for example this past week at the start of the week the strips were very purple and then they went back to white I found out I was not eating enough or drinking enough water so I love my strips they are a great help.
Any way I'll post again in 4 days with my great results **fingers crossed**

One Day at a time
Well I am not too sure how often I plan on updating my blog I was thinking only every time I go to a weigh in but that may end up being down the road as for now I am just going to blog as I need to.
Today is about my 4th day on the Dr. Poon diet and it has been ok so far nothing too crazy hard and I'm not starving like I though I was going to be. Although I am already bored and that is not very good at all. I don't want to turn into a salad queen and I don't want to fall of track and eat what I am not supposed to.
I also just wanted to put out there that I know I shouldn't weigh my self every day but I just wanted to see if I am doing what I am supposed too and good news I'm down I'm not going to post the number right now because I am only going to enter it when I get weighed in at Dr. Poon's office.
So I guess from here I better take it one day at a time because if I think too far ahead I am going to stress myself out I find when ever I try to follow a diet or make any small life change all I can do is focus on it and stress about it making my self crazy and now all I think about every day is food. Man oh man I hope I can do this.
Thanks for reading :)

Day One Dr. Poon Diet
Hey all,
Well today was my first office visit at the Dr. Poon office and let me tell you I was a bag of nerves it helped a bit that I was with my mom as we are on this journey together but not that much since she was more nervous than I was haha. We were both a bit stressed because everything we have been reading says that it is a very hard diet and that in your first visit this does not mean they will take you on as a client.
So first off when we got there we had to complete a 3 page consent form that said if you don't stick with the program you'll get kicked out of the program as soon as we seen that we both looked at each other and said wow, and not wow bad but wow good we need to have some one be tight with us so we stick it out. The consent/contract also says that I can't disclose the specifics of the program but I'll try to explain as much as I can along my journey.
So after all the papers were done we were taken to another part of the office to wait again but this time it was to do the deed and get on the dreaded scale that by the way you have to get on bare foot and its cold metal (Note to self always wear clean socks haha) after you get on the scale they take a measurement of you neck don't ask why I'm really not too sure and then the little box spits out a bunch of numbers that made me want to cry oh and turns out I shrunk : ) Any way needless to say all my number are bad and I really need to be there.
Then after all that we got to meet a Dr. he was great and answered most of our questions and gave us our little handouts and told us to follow it to the best that we can for the next two weeks. My mom and I again both looked at each other and said is that it? The Dr. said yep that's it as long as you follow the plan it will work. He even told us not to stop in the store in the office for the first 2 weeks and said our first goal is to lose 15lbs as my mom and I left the office we were talking to each other and said hell if we knew we were going to be eating most of the foods as we did before just cutting out a few things here and there we would have done this a long time ago.
But we also did think to our selves is this a test? Because I thought that the first visit did not mean that we were taken into the program? So our plan for the next two weeks is stick to the plan as much as we can and do our best and see what happens.
We have our next appointment booked for two weeks and I will post again. : )

First Post Ever
Well this is my first post ever first blog ever. I am going to tell you a little bit about me and why I started this. I am a 29 year old mom of 4 great kids I'm married and entering a phase of my life where I see that I need to make some changes.
I'm going to start by saying my blog is going to be all about my weight loss journy and just my thoughts as I take my steps. I just want to put that out there because I find some times that you start reading blogs and think they are about one thing and they end up being another.
I have an appointment in the next few days to see a weight loss Dr. his name is Dr. Poon I am sure many of you know who he is and what he is all about I myself just found out about him and what he is about. I have my first appointment with this Dr. soon and I have been told it is to see if he is even going to take me on as a client or not. I am also going in with my mother who I am sure he will take on for sure as she has many underlinging medical conditions as from what I understand you must have sever conditions to be taken on. I myself have a few health issues but not as many as my mother does but I am sure I will if I don't get this problem under control from now.
My whole family on my mother's side is large and it seems that we have all just been going from one diet to another. I myself have been on Nutrisystem, Weight watchers, Atkins, Jenny Craig just to name a few and not to mention all the crazy bad stuff I have put my self through so here I set out on my new journey with myfingers crossed that I can do it this time around.
I have been starting to go to the gym a few days out of the week at least 3 but I try for more I figure start small and the little changes can make a big difference.
Well I'm going to leave it at that for now and I will let you know what happens at my appointment :)
