Quick update – Sorry I didn’t get to write as much as I wanted to the past few days, for some reason my days have been filled with busy work. I did update this blog (all the behind scenes stuff you can;t see like WorkPress) and now I need to clean off those dead links from the home page and try to organize it. I’m not too sure if I like the home page layout yet but I wanted to have something new until I can find something better.
So last week I attended my HMR maintenance class on Thursday, it was rather small showing but overall a good class. I won’t write about class this week but just wanted to update everyone about where I am. As I was saying last message I gained roughly 40+ pounds since I returned from my vacation in March and I am working hard to return to my previous habits and my goal weight. My behavioral educator at HMR (Isn’t there a better word for them than that?) is very supportive and said that even that I gained weight back I kept 90 pounds off and being in class getting is the right was to deal with it. She is great!
Well I spoke to her about going on all shakes again (liquid fast) to get myself into a groove and I didn’t want to have the blood work done and all the other expenses especially since I am without a job so I agree to stay above 1200 calories and continue so I have having roughly 1200 a day. My day consist of six HMR 800 chocolate shakes made as hot chocolates and 2 HMR70+ puddings as my snack.
So far I have been on this for 8 days and feeling good, feeling better than I was medicating myself with food. Mentally it is much harder now and I was told it is tough to go off shakes and back on them but I would like to stay on the fast until I get to the 220’s. I have not decided how long I will do shakes for, I originally intend to do shakes again for a week or two but I think that I will go for a few weeks and maybe a month. I’m exercising again and back into the gym and growing into my new routine.
I will make some more updated and I have a few things in mind to add to the site including my past vacation photos and more about me…
We must be thinking along the same lines. I was getting ready to update my blog with the latest and round 2 of my attempt at HMR and thought – “wonder if Ken ever updated his”… lol.. here ya are.
I’m getting ready to go out for sugery for my foot, but plan to read your blog to help keep my motivated. I’ll be doing the shakes while working from home for a while since I can’t do ANY physical activity becuse of my foot.
BTW, I like the format of your new page & backgorund.
