Day 32 @ 155.6

:( I don't know what my problem is this week but I just can't stop cheating! It's so crazy! But I was thinking today and actually I think I'm going to start my period next week! Blah! Usually the week before I start I can not control my eating and I'm lazy and don't want to exercise or do anything... and that's what I'm doing. And if it's not because of my period then I don't know what's wrong and it probably won't get better! The other thing that may be the problem is that I haven't been that busy at work with the economy the way it is, so that leaves a lot more time for me to be bored and therefore I think about food! It's horrible! I have a real problem! I just love food! So any encouragement would be great! I only have about 1 1/2 weeks left which isn't long enough for me to lose 5 more pounds especially if I start my period. So I've completely lost hope and I am pretty sad. But the good side is that I have lost 15 pounds and I need to remember that and be happy for that! So Yeah I lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks! That's amazing!

Day 30 @ 155.0

So yesterday I tried to eat good all day and I did for the most part except I had macaroni and cheese! The good part is that I didn't gain anything like the last couple of days... I lost .6 pounds which is so awesome! I am also having an apple day today so that I can get a jump start to my week! I did really bad over the weekend, as is mentioned in my other posts. This weekend I cheated and I ate till I was completely full and sick! That's not such a good idea! But that's what's bad about unhealthy food... you are never satisfied! I've realized that healthy food is satisfying and it makes you feel so good... especially if you're trying to lose weight and you actually are dropping pounds by the week! So I am going to recommit and do the best I can so that hopefully I will be in the 140's next week!

Day 28 @ 155.4

Yes I did gain just under a pound but that was to be expected. Today I had an apple day... which really isn't that bad! But by the end of the day... apples aren't that great tasting. I haven't gotten sick of them yet but I'm sure in the next couple of weeks I will be. So I did pretty good with the apples and then dinner time came around and I had this random craving for Quiznos. I didn't even see a commercial or picture or anything... it seriously just popped up in my head and so I told my husband and then he wanted to go so it's technically not my fault... actually I have the choice not to eat it but I did and honestly I feel great! I need to not get so down and depressed about myself. It's okay to enjoy food every once in a while like this instance. Usually I would eat stuff like that at every single meal and that was my problem. My other problem is weekends... so if I do really good during the week, which I usually do, then I don't feel so bad to go out to eat once or twice! We'll see how tomorrow goes. Usually when I eat bad food then the next couple of days are hard for me not to be hungry in between meals!

Day 27 @ 154.6

Today was a hard day for me. Like I've mentioned before... weekends are so hard for me. For a long time, especially with my husband, weekends are our time to go out and eat so I'm just in the habit. All day today I have felt hungry in between meals and really tired so I felt like a big fatty meal to make me feel better... not! I totally over ate! But this is the first... okay second time in almost 5 weeks that I've over ate! So not too bad for me! I'm actually really proud of myself! I'd rather do that than crash all of a sudden and never get back on track! So I went out to eat tonight, I'll have an apple day tomorrow, and then Sunday I'll hop right on to my diet! Hopefully I don't gain too much... but I do expect to gain a pound from tonight! For the future I think that if I have one meal a week to eat whatever, then I need to eat the right portion size and not over eat and get so stuffed that I don't feel good... for example... tonight! So I told my husband to please remind me to not order as much food as I did and just get something a little smaller! That's the whole point of this diet is taking control of what you eat and how much to eat! Although I'm not doing it exactly... I am getting a lot better than where I was before!

Day 26 @ 155.6

Yeah I'm at 155! It is so good to see that number! Well today has been a great day! It's just one of those days where you feel good in your clothes, your hair turned out right, and I got plenty of compliments which I am so grateful for.I pretty much ate the same thing as last time but because of my workout schedule I thought I'd drink a protein shake! So here's my menu for the day:

Breakfast: Protein Shake
Snack, Lunch, Snack, & Dinner: 1/2 apple, chicken tender, handful of grape tomatoes

Pretty boring I know. Someone brought in cookies at work but I resisted. It's really hard to resist delicious cookies but the more I resist the easier it gets. For me food is such an emotional thing. If I can't have a cookie and everyone else around me is enjoying them, I seriously get angry and really sad inside but like I said earlier, it is getting easier. A couple of weeks ago a friend told me at work: "The first bite is the easiest to resist" And it's so true. That phrase has helped me alot to get through tough times. I'm not saying it's easy but it helps! Well until tomorrow... goodnight!

Day 25 @ 156.4

So I only lost .2 pounds today :( I was hoping a little more because I ate so good yesterday! Monday I cheated and the next day I lost a pound! So it's kinda confusing and depressing but whatever! I still have about 2 1/2 weeks left on this phase so hopefully I'll make it into the 140's but if not I'll be happy! So for today I ate similar to yesterday but a little different! Here's the menu:

Breakfast: Tea, chicken tender
Snack: 1/2 apple, 1/2 chicken tender, grape tomatoes
Lunch: 3 strawberries, chicken tender, a few radishes
Snack: Tea, 1/2 apple, 1/2 chicken tender, grape tomatoes
Dinner: 3 strawberries, chicken tender, a few radishes

So pretty boring but easy. The radishes are a little hard for me to eat, one is good but more than one is pretty strong. I am still a little hungry in between meals but overall it's pretty good and standable!

Day 24 @ 156.6

So today I started the Dr. Simeons protocol and it's not as hard as I thought it would be! It's actually easier because you don't eat that much food and there's only so many things that you can eat so it's easy to prepare. I'm still a little hungry in between meals but that's normal when you start any diet! So far so good and I didn't have any jellybeans today! I tried to look at others blogs and get an idea of what people eat and I didn't have much luck! Even on Dr. Simeons website I didn't really find anything. So to help others out in the future this is what I ate:

Breakfast: Tea (Good Earth, Sweet and Spicy... really yummy) w/ little bit of stevia, a chicken tender, and 1/4 apple
Snack: 1/2 apple and 1/2 chicken tender
Lunch: Chicken tender and 1/2 apple, handful of grape tomatoes
Snack: 1/2 chicken tender, 1/4 apple, handful of grape tomatoes
Dinner: Chicken Tender, 1/2 apple, handful of grape tomatoes

Usually a couple hours later after dinner I get really hungry so last night right before bed I had another cup of tea! It was amazing! I wasn't hungry and it really relaxed me therefore I slept really good last night! You should try it! I felt so good that I told my husband that he needs to do that before bed! It's just really soothing!

Okay so it looks like I pretty much ate the same thing for every meal just different portions. I don't know if I should do that or if I should switch it up! May be tomorrow I'll have an orange instead of two apples and eat a different vegetable! But we'll see!

Day 23 @ 157.2

Wow I know it's been a long time but I've just been busy and when I'm not busy I'm lazy! But I've lost 13.6 pounds! Woo hoo! I'm still not having to go down any pant sizes but that's okay! I have about 3 weeks left on the hcg diet and hopefully I'll lose the same amount in 2nd half as I did in the first half! But I've been doing pretty good except this weekend I just blew it! I would eat good during the day but then Friday I babysat my nephews and I didn't have time to bring my food over so I had some pretty bad food. I'm not going to name them because I don't want to put it on your mind! And then Saturday I gained a pound so I had an apple day but then we got invited over to my in-laws and I was so hungry and they ordered food and so I had some of that! And then I ate really good yesterday but then my mom brought over this amazing vase with jellybeans in it! I couldn't resist even though jelly beans aren't my favorite but it was just so cute! So today I woke up and am feelin good but I did already have a handful of jellybeans :( I'm so bad! So I put them out in the kitchen and told everyone to eat them so that I wouldn't! So this week I think I'm going to switch over to Dr. Simeons protocol and see how I do because my stepmother-in-law did that and she just looks so amazing! So we'll see how that goes and I'll try to keep you posted!

DaY 10 @ 160.8

Well I didn't lose anything but thats okay! I ate dinner at like 8:30 and I'm usually done with eating by like 7:00 So I think that's why I didn't lose anything! But who knows! All I know is that I'm excited to get up in the morning and weigh myself again! Yahoo!

DaY 9 @ 160.6

Ya so it's been a couple of days! I've been lazy and haven;t wanted to record anything! But I've lost 10 pounds already... that's if my scale is accurate! I have a feeling that it's not but I'm just going to go with it! I feel really good about myself but I still want bad food! The weekends are hard for me no matter what diet I'm on! This weekend I did the best I have ever done but I still cheated a little bit... I had a snickers and I had like 2 other pieces of chocolate! I loooove chocolate! And I snacked on some banana chips that had never tasted better in my life! Anyways, I still lost weight which I am so thankful for! So this week I am going to try to do even better! I am going to try to not cheat at all! And hopefully I'll lose another 10 pounds or at least even 5! This diet is so amazing! I've never lost this much weight this fast ever unless I was not eating! So I am definitely pleased and excited for more weight to shed off!

P1 DaY 5 @ 163.4

So today was so much better than any other day on this program besides the load days. I was hardly hungry in between meals and I haven't had any headaches yet! So hopefully my body is adjusting to the shots and its working! I get to weigh myself at the doctor tmr and so I'm excited to see how much I weigh since last wednesday on a scale that actually works!

P1 dAy 4 @ 162.8

Well the weight is definitely dropping. I don't feel like I've lost weighed but my scale says that I have so I'll just take it! I am still pretty hungry all day but I'm going to see my doctor on Friday so hopefully they can help me not be so hungry! Yesterday was a really bad day! I almost had a breakdown because we live with my husbands grandma and a neighbor brought over broccoli soup, homemade bread, and homemade brownies! OMG it was soooo hard not to eat that! I almost gave in. Everyone was sitting around the table eating this delicious food and where was I? I was sitting in my room eating a 1/3 of a chicken breast and a salad! Yuck! My husband is so sweet... he said that it wasn't that good. So that made me feel a little better! But all night since I saw those brownies I wanted cookies, brownies, ice cream... something really bad! But I didn't and today I got on the scale and was down a pound! So I am a lot happier now!

P1 DaY 3 @ 164.4

Well the pounds are just commin right off so I think that the shots may be working but I still woke up really hungry and all I want is a bowl of cereal! I know I won't give in... actually I have no desire to give in which is good but I still want to eat normal food like nuts, wheat toast, a banana. Maybe because I know I can't have them makes me want them more... why do we do that! Anyways hopefully today will be a little bit better than yesterday? Was anyone hungry on the diet the first couple of days?

P1 DaY 2 @ 165.8

Well today was really hard for me! I was hungry all day! I thought that the shots made me not supposed to be hungry! I did leave them out for almost 2 hours... it was more like and 1 1/2 hours so that scares me that the shots may not be working and I'm just putting myself through misery! But I'll try again on day 3 and see if I get any better! All of the meals were pretty good though! I had chicken tacos! It was super delicious! I'm excited to have them again!

P1 dAy 1 @ 166.2

Today was my first day on the actual diet and I did pretty good! I haven't been too hungry after meals. The good thing is that I ate like every 2 to 3 hours so there wasn't enough time to get hungry in between meals! Now the real trick is to stay like that! I was wanting to eat like Macaroni & Cheese and Ramen because I ALWAYS have at least one of them or both on Sundays, and they're my faaavorite, so I was missing those but I wasn't craving them! I think most of it is because it's my first day and it's not that hard to miss the bad food. But I know that someday I will have my hard moments! But I just got to hang in there because I'm going to look smokin' hot after this program!

LoAd DaY 2 @ 166.4

Okay so I know that there is a big jump from 170.8 to 166.4 but the 170.8 was weighed last wednesday at the Doctor like in the middle of the day with clothes and shoes on and the 166.4 is from home on a new cheap scale from wal-mart so who knows if that's accurate. And... it was first thing in the morning with nothing on. So I'm just going to go with the 166 cuz thats a lot more pleasing than the big 170! So Load day was good! I just ate normally and I had to get my favorite ice-cream cuz I know I won't be able to have it for a long time! And actually I was kind of sick after I ate it! So it was good but I'm not missing it yet!

LoAd dAy 1 @ 170.8 :(

First of all I have to say that typing 170.8 as my weight is a very scary number. Never did I think that I would get that big unless I was prego. On a good note, I just started the HCG Diet about 1.5 hours ago!!!! Yeah! I'm on my way to be skinny! It's my load day and I'm feelin pretty good. My Doctor that gave the shots to me said that load days are days where you eat normal. I know that most people think that load days are days that you try to eat as much as you can. But for me I don't think you need to eat as much as you can. I think that if you want to go out to eat, thats okay. Or if you want dessert, that's oaky. But buying a dozen of donuts and eating the whole thing in a day or even two days is not what a load day is! Well all I can say is that I am really excited today... my husband said that I'm glowing already! :) So I am just sooo ready to lose weight and feel good about myself!

On My Way To Starting the HCG Program

So ya I went to Body Solutions today and I am going back on Friday to get THE Shots!!!! I'm can not wait! They wanted to schedule me for Monday but I was like no way... I can't wait any longer... especially over the weekend!!! Woo Hooo I'm going to be skinny.... er skinnier!!! Anything will help tho!

My HCG Appt. with the Doc

Soooo I made an appointment with the Body Solutions MD, where they can give you a 6 week supply of the HCG shots. Not only do they give you the shots to use but they give you a diet that is specified for your body! I am so excited! My appointment tmr is just for a consultation so I probably won't be able to start till next week cuz I need to wait to get money before I can start, and take a blood test for the doc. So far the place seems really nice and they have a lot of information that is good to know for this HCG Program! I can't wait to start this program and be not only skinny but healthy aaaand keep the weight off!!

Pre-HCG

Well I haven't gotten anything for the program yet but ever since I've talked about it with my stepmother-in-law, I can not wait to start it! As of the last time I weighed myself I was 167! That's almost 170!! Yikes!!! But I know with this program I can get down to 135... or 130! I'm 20 yrs old and 5'6, so 167 is way over my BMI! I think for my age and height my BMI should be 135. I have always been a little over weight for my age but i don't want to wake up one day and see that I weigh 200-300lbs :(. I think when I was 13 i weghed 135 and each year I put on about 10 pounds. I got married a little over a year ago and ever since then I've put on about 15 pounds! I don't know what it is about being married, but it seems like a lot of women...and men put on weight when they get married. I'm sure some of it is from stress but I think most of the time I'm just lazy cuz I don't want to do anything else besides hang out with my hubby! Not to mention all of his sisters have these amazing bodies and they can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound... same with my husband and right now I weigh more than my husband and that is very depressing. So I'm ready to join the family and be skinny like them! If anyone has any good advice for where to get these HCG shots at... I'd love to know! I know that I need to get the Kevin Trudeau book and read that! But that's all I know! Hopefully I can start soon! Wish me luck!!!
