Day 12

9/15/10
I hit my goal for today. Today wasn't hard at all. No hunger pains...I just felt tired because I've been going to sleep later than usual. It's all the reading!
I think I know what does the trick in the morning...that melba toast does wonders! I had a glass of wine instead of my fruit for the day. I'm not realizing that I was totally over eating before! Like CRAZY over eating! With the food choices that I've been making I am staying full much longer than I did before. I know that once my maintenance starts that I'll be hungrier, but I'll still know what healthy choices I can snack on or choose to eat that'll fill me up. I still have a few weeks now left of this portion of my "diet", and i'm confident that I'll hit each of my goals that I set for myself. I'm much for confident now. I have my mind set and I know exactly what I'm aiming for. My mind is also so much clearer now. Strange.
Anyway....here are my tallies for today. =D

(they will be completely updated tomorrow when I can log on to see what they were exactly)

Day 11

(9/14/10)

Today was a good day!
Even though I cheated this weekend, I've pretty much lost what I gained. I think by tomorrow I'll be back to where I was. I have been feeling pretty good. I cleaned the van out today at the shop and it was HHHHOOOOOTTTT! I have a new found respect for what my husband does everyday! I can't believe he's in that heat all-day-long! Like the sun beating down on you. It's horrible! I feel so bad for him! I'll be more appreciative from now on...
So since I sweat my butt off I'm hoping I'm going to get down to 178-177 for tomorrow. I'm really trying to as best as I can. We shall see.

Weight- 180

Today is Monday and what a Monday it's been! My van's engine blew! So I sat in the heat and sweat my butt off for a while....which I guess could be good. =D So my weight today is a follows.

I guess this weekend caught up with me...ugh. I'm gonna get it off though! I'm determined to look damn good in my bride's maid dress! I want the pictures to look wonderful! Not only for Prissy but for me too! I want to look like I did when Q and I first met. =D I'm sure it'll happen with time! I'm working my butt off so I should get some return!

Day 7

(9/10/10)

I didn't do to well with dinner because it's our anniversary and I wanted to "celebrate" with no restrictions.
It was a good night. I had steak and steamed broccoli....but then had a Jack Daniel's pie!!! We went to Texas Land and Cattle which was wonderful!

Weight - 178

Day 5

(9/8/10)
So far today has been pretty good. Between classes I had an apple. I was able to eat out with Q for lunch. I had a grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast with nothing on it and also a salad with a few slices of tomatoes. For the "dressing" I just used lemon juice over it. It was surprisingly pretty filling (and good). Although, what the guys had looked so much more delicious I still wasn't really tempted to give in. (Craig had some spaghetti and meatballs and Q and Les had chicken strips with gravy and toast)(I have to note that the spaghetti & meatballs looked absolutely beautiful the way the had it set up on the plate)
It felt great. Les gave me a compliment today and said that I seemed happier and asked if it was the diet. I'd like to think so. I have a lot more energy and I'm not so lethargic. I can also think a bit more clearly. I like that.
I am glad that others can see the happiness that I've been feeling the past few days. I hope it continues.

5 lbs down since Monday. Not bad. At all!

Day 4

(9/7/10)
I know this blog is a little late. I'm going to try to do it at the end of each day, but that may not always happen because of the mommy, wife or student duties I must tend to.

Day 4 (Tuesday) was pretty good. I started cleaning like crazy somewhere around 7. Not sure why, but I just started feeling good! I got a little hungry between lunch and dinner, but I ate a small salad and drank lots of tea and water to suppress it. I had a few sugar cravings but I managed to keep my will in check. =D
Overall, not too bad of a day.

Day 1-3

I have become so overweight it's just ridiculous and depressing. I have now started a new diet called the hCG diet. I know a lot of people are very skeptical about new "fad" diets, but at this point I'm desperate enough to try pretty close to anything.
I've heard a LOT of good about this diet, including that it has actually proven to reduce the risks of breast cancer and that the side effects greatly out weigh the side effects of being obese or overweight. I have been battling with my weight since I've had kids. It's now going to be 5 years. I have wasted 5 years of my life worrying about how I look because of the weight I've gained. I'd like for once to forget about how huge I am and just live and love life. I have my friend Tracy to thank for introducing me to this diet. She works for an office in Phoenix that sells the product and that also gives great support to its clients. There is a nutritionist and doctor there at the office as well.



The first two days were just "loading days". These were the "stuff your face until you can't anymore" days. I guess I should have weighed myself but I didn't.
So we're starting today with the measurements. I was completely shocked when I weighed myself. I haven't weighed this much since I first got out of the hospital with each of my boys. I'm disgusted. So here goes nothing.

The only side effect that I have felt today is a headache in the morning but was easily cured with Tylenol. I don't know if this was a part of the diet or not, since I frequently get headaches. I haven't really been hungry at all today. So far I am impressed with the way I am feeling. We'll see how tomorrow goes!!
