Great few days AND Curves and diet update

Cover of Curves

 It's been a pretty good few days for me.  First I went to see Wade yesterday.  I always love the 2 hour visits we have.  Even though he's been in prison for a year I don't think that it's fully registered with me.  I'm not sure that it ever will and I don't think that I want it to.  Nobody wants to face the fact that one of their children are behind bars for now and years to come.  I always wish we could go back in time and surely enough I find a way to blame it on myself.  I shouldn't do that because mothers with children in prison are already frowned upon.  But I do get to see and talk to him and that's more than Tammy can say.  He's learning a lot there, good and bad.  He's starting to weed it out too and I'm happy for that. I wish his dad would go visit him, I don't think he realizes how important that is for Wade.  We have our "busy" lives but we have to put our priorities in line and live by that...period. Wade has plans and they are all good ones....at least the ones he lets me know of.  It's kinda weird but through the entire process I've been worried about his life afterwards and what kind of life he is going to have.  He will have to have twice the amount of diligence than any other person to get where he wants to be but it can be done.  Anything can be done.  I know that for a fact and I always have faith, especially in my kids.
Today I weighed in at Curves and lost 11 lbs!  I was so excited! I told Sondra that I feel like I'm on the biggest loser and I'm going to win the competition! hehe.  That's pretty good because I'm in my 3rd week there and I can feel major changes.  The circuit training is one of the best things for the body and my 1200 calorie diet has been working wonders and I don't have any problems at all except for late at night sometimes.  I ate a whole baggie of celery last night.  Not a bag from the store but the left over cut up pieces from Easter.  Man, they tasted good haha.  They really did.  I wanted more.
Another lady at Curves told me about Hydroxycut.  I've of course heard of it before, it's a diet pill basically.  It's suppost to burn fat and give you energy.  She said that it worked wonders for her.  When I get a word of mouth tip like that I usually jump on it. So on my way to see Wade yesterday I picked up a bottle.  I'm glad I did because they were on sale for $10.00 off.  So I've been taking them for 2 days now.  I take one before I eat.  The directions tell you to take 1 before each meal for the first 3 days, not to eat between meals and not to eat after dinner.  Then after the 3rd day you can up to 2 before meals.  I haven't noticed a difference in my energy level yet anyway.  I may notice it when I increase to 2 pills Friday.  I will take all the help I can get! But I'm so happy because that 11 lbs is long gone.  I lost it in a way that it's not going to creep back on overnight...I fought hard for it.
I think I got my mom to start drinking protein shakes in the morning now.  She is going to buy some this weekend.  I told her that it's real important to get those 30 grams of protein in within 30 minutes of waking up.  She is also doing good with the Zoloft, she says she has more energy which makes sense since depression sucks the life and energy out of you, and she's only been taking it about a week if that so she should still see more improvement up to the 2 weeks.
