My ongoing weight loss saga

I know I haven't written much about my weight loss. I didn't gain any weight, so all of you hoping I fell off the wagon and gained my weight back can just tough it out. I have been at a stand-still for the last 7 days and I can easily explain why.

I did not use the Cheat on most of the food that I ate. The majority of the time, the food appeared in front of me (really it did...) and the Cheat was either in the motor home or locked in the trailer. I did remember to continue to use the Flush and Accelerate daily though and would like to believe that my weight stability is due to that. I would also like to note that I ate very badly near the end of the rally.

I ate French Creek French Fries nightly (that is at least for 6 days..) and drank regular soda several days running also. Hamburgers were the fare for a couple of days, as was donuts in the morning. The good news is that I still have only one notch left on my belt and my now "fat" pants are still my "fat" pants. I did not gain any inches, but did not lose any significant weight. The good news is that my appetite never did increase, so my food consumption was still reasonable.

Today I have managed to use the Cheat on all that I ate and am back to drinking the Lean at least once daily. I think I am going to look for a little belt holder for my Cheat so that it will be with me all the time. I found that without a purse, and then end up eating when you least expected it. If I put the Cheat in a holder like my cell phone holder, I will be ready at all times... Hmmmm, I have an old cell phone holder, perhaps the Cheat bottle will fit... hmmmm...

One brief note on my ongoing Weight Loss

So far this week, I have not gained, nor have I lost weight. I would like to report that I have lost another half an inch around my waist. I have only one more hole in my belt before I run out of notches. I have been very good about taking the Accelerate daily (one tablet) and pretty darn good about taking the Flush (one tablet at night - missed taking that only one night). I keep forgetting to use the Cheat (since I don't carry it all the time) and I have been taking the Lean as a replacement for breakfast.

Not too bad considering how long it took for me to put this weight on. I am still very pleased with my results, I would rather lose the weight slowly so I know it will stay off. I am really enjoying getting that belt smaller and smaller. I can't wait to finally get back to my version of an ideal weight, I really want a new belt...

Update on Weight Loss Saga

Well guys, here I was, planning on getting on the scale yesterday morning and boom, I get distracted. To explain better, since we are in the motor home, the bathroom scale can be used best right by the refrigerator (poetic justice?). Sooo, I place the scale by the fridge, notice the throw rug seems a tad damp so I touch it, trying to decide if it was really damp or just very cold from the night before.

Unfortunately, the rug was damp so of course, I have to investigate. Well, as I started feeling around the throw rug, I noticed the carpet was also damp. I then start moving all kinds of stuff (including my laptop case, boxes, papers, etc.) only to find not a damp carpet, but a sopping wet one. I would like to note, this is a great way to assist in any weight loss program...start stressing about where a leak is in a motor home before either breakfast or a shower...

After a good bit of swearing and moving of stuff (it is truly amazing how much stuff accumulates on the floor of a motor home when you are stopped for more than one day..) it was determined that we have a significant leak somewhere. It was not the fridge (goodie) but we did finally find that the sink was leaking fresh water like a sieve.

By the time we finished moving stuff and moping up the mess, I barely had time for a shower and was not even remotely interested in breakfast. After begging a cup of coffee from a neighbor, we went to the booth to work. It was then I realized that I never did get on the scale to weigh myself.

Does feeling thinner count? My clothes are really getting loser, the shirts I wear are not as tight, and I purchased jeans an inch smaller. The cool thing is the jeans fit, they are not overly tight. I only purchased 2 pair of jeans since I do plan on getting thinner than where I am now.

It is exciting to discover the small changes that your body makes when you finally start losing weight at a steady pace. I have not felt as tired, when I run with the dogs, it doesn't feel like I am doing more bouncing than running and I don't feel as jiggly as I had a month ago. I can't wait to drop another few inches and start getting back into my original "skinny" clothes. It will be really fun to see some of my friends, whom I haven't seen in several months. They will be able to see any changes in my shape better than me, they don't look at the flab in the mirror daily.

It is hard to see changes when you see yourself daily. I am going to start weighing myself every other day from now on, it looks like the weight loss is stabilizing slightly, and I don't want to have to report a day or two of no weight change. Even if there is no weight change, it is not demotivating, the fact that clothes are now fitting looser is a great motivator.

Good night for now, talk with everyone later tomorrow.

Continuing Saga of Weight Loss with CNI Core4

Today there was no significant loss of weight even though I was diligent in using all Core4 products yesterday. I still consider this a good sign. I believe that if the weight comes off very fast, it will come back just as fast.

What I have discovered is that by taking Accelerate (part of the Core4 product offering) in the morning, my energy levels have been way up. I am not inclined to really desire a nap by 3 pm. I also have had more desire /energy to do a lot of walking, I find I am not as tired after a long brisk walk as I used to be (now up to almost 5 miles a day). My pants are now getting baggy which is really cool.

I discovered today what the primary ingredient of the Cheat product is. Cheat is the product that you literally shake or sprinkle onto your food before you eat it. The main ingredient of Cheat is Konnyaku root.

Konnyaku root has been consumed in Japanese dishes for over 2,000 years. When taken with food, it reduces the speed of sugar intake. Konnyaku forms a jelly-like material and expands about 30-50 times in the digestive system which then gives the feeling of being full. It also cleans the digestive tract of toxins. It also is high in fiber and rich in minerals.

This root has been a staple of the traditional Japanese diet and is available in all supermarkets in Japan. Typically, Konnyaku root is consumed as a fiber-rich vegetable about once a week by most people in that country.

There are many articles on this root which can be found in all the major search engines. I have found no negative articles (so far) on this root. If I find any negative articles, I will research and post that on this blog also. I do not want anyone thinking that I will only provide positive information. I want to provide fair and honest information. My only agenda is to inform and educate. This is a tracking of my personal weight loss journey and hopefully documentation of my final success in losing that unwanted weight. Now back to the subject at hand...

By incorporating Konnyaku into your daily diet (using Cheat) you can still enjoy eating what you have in the past while maintaining good health and better weight control. Using Cheat along with some moderate exercise will help you to discover that slimmer you.

As I mentioned before, Cheat does not have any specific taste associated with it. I have used it in everything from hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, cookies, funnel cakes, sandwiches, and steak and did not notice any unusual flavor. It is not recommended to use Cheat in soups as it will expand quickly and look like a gelatinous blob in your soup (ewww..). I have yet to put it on ice cream, but will when the opportunity arises. I strive to keep a bottle of Cheat in my purse at all times so that when an eating opportunity arises, Cheat is there to help me reduce my caloric intake.

To find out more about Cheat and the other Core4 products, go to http://www.hawgwash.irepcni.com/. If you have trouble navigating around the website, please feel free to contact me at hawgwash1@yahoo.com and I strive to answer your questions.

I will continue to keep everyone updated on my personal weight loss journey. I look forward to getting back into my "skinny" clothes. It will be so neat to get back into the shape I was in while in college (and NO round was not my shape then...)
