Journey to myself

Bye Bye Nuviva
I am now starting my workouts. I am starting out with Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I am on day 4 today and it is getting a little easier. My body is still sore but I am pushing through the pain. Now if I can keep my calves from cramping "jumping rope" and be able to do all of the bicycle crunches I will be well on my way. I am just hoping I can stick with it when I am working. I already have such little time for sleep but this is so important to me I just have to fit it in. I also need to get back to strict counting my diet. I just needed a break for a bit. I have been watching my portions but no strict counting. Time to get back to it if I want this last 20lbs to go. Thank you to everyone that has been so supportive of me during this journey. Your encouragement and kind words are really helped and meant so much.
Now for the Before and after Pictures.
They are terrible pictures of me but you can really see the difference.

Week 10
Today is 10 weeks since I began this journey. Went for my weigh in today and after only losing 1.4lbs last week, I did much better this week with a loss of over 4lbs. This brings me to an official weightloss total of 30lbs!!!
I was so excited to see that number! The told me I am have an average loss of 3lbs a week. They look for a loss of 1-3lbs a week. They told me I am above average in my loss especially for women. I am so excited to hear this. Makes me realize that I should be able to reach my goal. I have about 8 weeks left. I hope I can keep up at this pace and maybe exceed my goal. 20lbs to go!
I decided to see if I could fit into the next size down that I had in my closet. I did and got them buttoned! They were a little tight but they were on. That is 3 sizes from where I began just 10 weeks ago. I am doing it and feeling really good! Now if only the camera can start being a little kinder to me.

Week 8

20lbs!!!
I have hit a snag with the HCG shots. I was doing well with giving them to myself and now my mind is getting the best of me and I am having a hard time. They do not hurt one bit so it is just foolishness. Thank you to my friend Tina for giving me my shot yesterday. I thought maybe If I had someone else do it to reaffirm how and that it doesn't hurt that I would be ok. Well today I still had a tough time. I did finally stick myself and as with every other time, I hardly felt it. I hope this mental block goes away soon. I will be a long 10 weeks if I can't get over it!
I am feeling great and energy level has not changed at all despite not eating many calories.
I get a cheat meal tonight and will be enjoying some delish sushi and I can't wait!!

HCG
I weighed into day and had a great week. I am now down a total of 17lbs in 5 weeks!! I am in a size down very comfortably from where I was. I think in a few more weeks these will be baggy too. This phase is really supposed to take of the inches fast!
I am really starting to feel good and get a little confidence back in myself. I am really tired but I know that is due to my crazy schedule. Looking forward to more loss and different food!

week 4
My pants are to big now. I can pull them off without unbuttoning them. I hate to buy more though since I will be losing even more! I have no in between sizes though. Just ones before Rylan and the sizes after pregnancy. I think its about a 2 size difference.
I have only been getting in about 2 work outs a week. Monday is my last day of class and I am really hoping to kick it into gear and try to get at least 4 work outs in a week. I can't wait to lose this baby belly!!!
