Car Accident

I fell asleep at the wheel driving home from work over memorial day weekend. I don't remember much about the accident. But I know I'm really fortunate that I'm still alive and didn't hurt anybody else when I crashed. I have been discharged from the hospital and am recovering from a mild concussion, dislocated shoulder, broken ribs and a punctured lung. I still weighed 189lbs upon my discharge which I'm kinda proud of but needless to say I have stopped dieting for the moment.
My days are filled with physical therapy and pain medication. I have always been the caregiver never the patient and its definitely difficult being on the other end of the spectrum. I feel so helpless. The tiniest tasks from: dressing myself, picking up my children, or even a laundry basket for that matter are now all extremely hard and painful. I 'm blessed to have a loving and helpful family and I know that, but I've always been independent and I'm used to doing things for myself. So this all really sucks!
Well I'm done babbling and feeling sorry for myself. I'll post again when I get back in the swing of things.

Another real quick update

Ok well I have officially made it to the 180's only 189, but Ive lost 11 lbs. which I'm extremely happy with. Thanks for all the postive encouragement guys and keep it coming.

Real Qwick Update

Almost a week into phase two and current weight is 196.2 so I have been steadily losing. Haven't really had the urge to cheat and Ive had next to no hunger pains so far. Really wanted to exercise more then I have but either I cant find the time or don't have the energy. However I have been offered another incredible deal. Bodywork's Fitness has asked me to participate in a 16 week free program for 25 women as a testimonial profile. They provide supervised training and a fitness and body fat assessment. Not sure if I'm going to except though. Seems like most of the gyms here are filled with the tan fit supermodel type and I'm not sure If I would be comfortable with exercising in front of other people. We'll see.

1st injection

Day 1
Weight 198.4
Body Fat% 42.1

Well I waited till one day after my menses and I gorged like instructed. I started my day off with an SQ injection of 150 Units of HCG. Then had a cup of Wu Long Tea and some chocolate chip cookies. For lunch I had a ham and cheese sandwich, and broccoli with velveeta cheese. As an afternoon snack I had some carmel crunch and munch. For dinner I had a 12 oz Prime Rib, Garden salad, dinner roll and mashed potatoes with a giant Raspberry Daiquiri.

Quick Question

OKay I know its been a while. I havent quite started my injections yet. I have been very busy at work. Now I'm working 12 hr shifts on midnights. I didn't want to start the HCG and mess things up cause now Im not sure when to take my injections or weigh myself. I know everything I've read it says the morning but my mornings is when I go to sleep. Will this effect things should I do the injections in the afternoon when I wake up? Does anyone know? I really would like to get started.

Its Here!!!!

I was sent my confirmation of shippment on April 1st so it took 10 days to arrive at the door, but IT'S HERE! I don't have any IM syringes though. I guess I thought those would have come with package. We'll Im off to get me some needles so I can start the injections ASAP.

Anxiously and Excitedly Waiting

Still waiting on my HCG and cleansing away. Been drinking plenty of tea and water and eating my organic apples and grapefruit. I even bought a food scale. I'm excited, maybe too excited. I jump at the site of the mail man and want to follow every UPS truck I see to ask if they are carrrying a package with my name on it.

Anxiously Waiting,
