Ok, so I am so not a blogger, but I feel that I need something to hold me accountable and to keep me on track. If noone reads it, that's ok, but for me, to know that it's public and someone COULD stumble upon it, is huge!
I guess the first thing to do would be to decribe "the diet" that I do and love...when I can stick to it, that is. It's the HCG Diet. I first heard about this diet from my friend Stacy. I thought she was NUTS when she told me that she injected herself with the pregnancy hormone HCG and then only ate 500 calories a day. And this isn't just any 500 calories, it's 500 calories of food from a very strict list. So, like I said, I thought she was crazy, coo-coo, out of her mind....UNTIL I saw her at Collin and Brylie's baptism and she was TINY!!! We have battled weight together since 9th grade and when I saw her, I knew I had to have some of whatever it was she was doing! So....last year, I started the HCG diet and lost 50 lbs. HA! I know, it really looks like it now huh? I have pretty much gained all but maybe 15-20 back and I am miserable! I do not like the way I look or feel and it's time to do something and get SERIOUS about it. I like to think I have lots of will power but here lately, I am not sure what is up. I really think being alone alot (the life of a coach's wife) has alot to do with it. I am bored, so I eat....sad, I know. OK, so back to the description: I thought I would type it all out but instead I found a great youtube vid that decribes it perfectly! So, I would encourage you, if you plan to follow me through this journey, to watch the video in my previous post.
Ok, so hopefully you have seen the video and understand somewhat about the way hcg and a vlcd (very low calorie diet) works.
Last night I decided that today was the day! Since I had not been on the injections in a while, I went ahead and did a load day where you eat and eat and eat. I am really good at that. This helps you get through the first couple of days without starving until the hcg is in your system really good. Tomorrow will be my first 500 calorie day. I have already prepared food for 4 meals and I am very excited about restarting! I will do 3 23 day cycles before we leave for Disney and worst case scenario, that should be close to 70 lbs. We shall see.
I am not posting my weight here but will post my losses and gains, food that I have eaten during the day and how I feel. If you are following me, thank you! It means alot to me. I really hope that this is the key to getting myself moving and away from my ridiculous obsession with FOOD!
