Round Two, Phase Three!

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted on here... Unfortunately NASA decided that blogspot should be a banned website, so it makes posting a little tricky.

To summarize:
I ended Round Two, Phase Two weighing 233. I was pretty happy for my weight loss considering my lack of commitment this time around. I really could have done a better job, but the fact of the matter is...I didn't. I'm now finally down a pant size. Holy moley did it take a long time to drop one freaking pant size! Just a testament to the fact that this protocol "reshapes" you. Once finishing this round of phase two, I did an absolutely awful job of transitioning to phase three, and I gained about 8 lbs back, which is where I currently am in terms of weight. Disappointing? Yes. The timing was just not good in general this time around. I had a super stressful project coming to an end, and we really had to deliver. Not to mention this project required me to travel, which was simply awful for following phase three guidelines. My project went absolutely fantastic! Could not have gone ANY better and if it was possible I am loving my job even MORE now than I was before :0) At the completion of this "project", which happened to be guiding NASA through a National Level Exercise with all of its senior leadership (I realized I was being vague and cryptic by calling it a "project" repeatedly, haha!) the design team I led went out for a major celebration..... And celebrate we did!!!!!!! :0) Not good for the Simeons protocol, but it was completely necessary.

Looking forward:
I'm not happy with how I've left things, and ideally I'd like to lose a bit more weight. I'm considering starting another round of phase two in July, however I realize that may be pretty difficult considering the summer parties, BBQ's, Snowball Stand trips, and of course summer libations :0) I'm going to have to really look at the calendar and decide what I can, and cannot handle. I'd like to get down to 200 on this next round, so I can't afford any screw ups!

I've noticed that I really don't have much muscle tone anymore. I don't have much time to get to the gym and lift weights, or even to do body weight exercises at home. I'll have to figure something out though because it doesn't help to lose a bunch of weight if you still look sloppy! haha!! *sigh* I'll have to work something out with this crazy commute to DC every day....

So that's where I stand! :0)
