This blog has journaled my weight loss experience since 2009. Starting with HCG, leaving HCG, coming back to HCG and then leaving it for good. Other various topics are strewn throughout: pregnancy, home birth, life and soon new ways of living I would like to explore. I am now using "The Diet Cure" principles, to get to the place I want to be: healthy and happy about it!
I am doing it!!! I just ordered my HCG and I am going to start Friday!!! I am so excited, you guys! I can't wait to do this thing. :)
Here is my affiliate button with DIYHCG. I have bought two bottles of HCG from this company and this will be my third! I have received my HCG within 3 days every time and I am even more excited for this third bottle to arrive than even my first!!! YAY!
I was down 1.6 pounds this morning after a steak day yesterday. So, I am just working on getting down in weight for Friday!!!
Hope you all are doing well and I am so excited to join you all who are on the protocol! We can do this!!! Jeez, there sure are a lot of exclamation points in this post. haha! :)
Yes, it sure is! I have always been so disapproving of most pictures taken of me, but that is changing. :) So, here is a picture of me to commemorate my entry into the 140's! It has been a good 5 years since I have weighed this much and I feel like celebrating! Not with food- just a nice picture of myself I can be proud of (no Photoshop- see post Good Riddance, Girdles! :)).
Let me start with catching up from yesterday: October 1, 2009 Day 12 weigh in: 150.6 pounds loss of: 0.6 pounds
Now for this morning! As you can see I am pretty excited. :) I am in the 140's, YIPEEEE!!!! weigh in: 148.6 pounds!!! loss of: 2.0 pounds! total loss to date: 13.2 pounds!!!
Yesterday I was not pleased at all and didn't want to share my disappointment. I felt like something was wrong and I was never going to lose more weight than I already had. This morning I feel back on track. So, to all my readers- if you're in a rut, try and keep your chin up. I know that sounds silly and basically impossible, because I am suggesting something that I couldn't even do. However, we need to try and see, that although we may be frustrated at the moment- there will be a morning when all that frustration is dispelled and you are renewed and ready to take on that fat by storm. HCG is AWESOME, and although we have been told a million times how it works and what to expect sometimes we forget and it ultimately takes a decrease of the scale reading to snap us out of it. We are fickle creatures, I tell you. :)
Anyway, here is what I ate yesterday. I apologize, I can't remember what I ate on Day 12, isn't that awful?! It was just regular protocol foods- nothing out of the ordinary.
Lunch: lean ground turkey with sliced onion on top (I don't know if this is allowed, but I tried it anyway. The taste wasn't all together that great- kind of bland, but it seemed to work! :)) 4 strawberries
I was quite full and due to poor scheduling and a hectic day I did not eat dinner yesterday. I had an apple about mid afternoon.
Good day of losing or maintaining to everyone!
Oh, and I forgot to point out another milestone I have reached besides hitting the 140 pound range. I have passed a total of 30 pounds lost since I started HCG in late July with a loss of 31.6 pounds!!! Look to sidebar. :)
A couple nights ago I started a yoga regimen. I used to do yoga many years ago when I was in high school. I remember feeling amazing and loving it. I tried and tried to "stretch it out" when I was 24 pounds heavier and still ended up not feeling so great. It wasn't that I lost my flexibility, but rather I had too much fat which prevented me from getting into many of the positions! I didn't realize it before, but fat holds stress, if that makes sense. I don't hurt when I stretch, and if there are a few aches and pains they dissipate more easily. What an amazing feeling to be able to do the things that will keep me in shape and not have to struggle and fight against myself!!! I can run now, too, but greatest of all I have the energy to keep up with my little girls! Just love it! HCG is amazing in that regard. It allows you to lose weight quickly so you bypass the extreme frustration that can come with many other weight loss plans. It allows you to take control and get to a point where you can do physical activities you once thought arduous or just plain impossible!
I have gained a greater respect for my body. I remember now what it was like to run and be active! It is funny. Sometimes I still wake up and look into the mirror thinking it is all a dream and I will look and feel the way I did before. But it is not a dream! This is the new me. A new me I can maintain! It has been a couple weeks and I am holding steady around 155.6 pounds! I can't wait for my second round and residing in the 130 pound range!!! Yipee!
