HCG

Today I start the HCG phase. I gave myself the first HCG shot. I was so nervous but it wasn't so bad. One shot every day for 6 days then one day off. I now have to count calories which I have not had to do. It will be a little more work to keep up but thanks to the great apps on smartphone, it won't be to bad. I can now eat whatever I want. However its only 200 cal per meal so I really can't eat whatever I want. :) Now I really need to start doing some menu planning.
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

Today I weighed in and was measured. I lost 2.2 lbs according to their scale, mine isn't showing that. But I did great in losing inches. I lost 1.5in around my bicep and thigh and 4in off of my waist and 4in off of my hips! This is my last week on phase 2 and then I start the HCG. She said I should still lose 2-3lbs a week with that but the inches should really start to fall off. I am right on track though and doing well and happy with my results so far.

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!!!

AHHHH!!!

Almost finished with week 3 and it is just now starting to get to me. I have been doing so well and I am not getting burned out! I know I have to keep going and I have not even had a small temptation to cheat. I have even skipped out on going to lunch with someone because I wasn't sure what I could have there. But it is starting to get the best of me. I just want for once a quick easy meal. I am so tired of cooking three meals a day! I just want to make a turkey sandwich and be done with it! I just want to throw a bagel in the toaster and have breakfast! I don't want to make an egg every day and a chicken breast and veggies for lunch and dinner. I just want something fast and easy that I can grab and go! Its not even the eating the food that is bothering me its the cooking and cleaning so much. I am tired of all the work involved! I just want to pop something in the microwave and have lunch in 5 mins and only one plate to wash, not 30 mins of cooking and then 10 mins of cleaning! Ugh why does eating right have to be so much work!!! I would love to be a millionaire, then I could have someone do all my cooking and cleaning. Oh what a dream!!

On a good night I did the 30 day Shred again yesterday. It was much easier then before and I am not as sore. They asked me to only do it a few times a week as they really only want me walking but it is so freaking hot outside and I don't mind the extra workout. Especially if it works! I weigh in tomorrow. So far it looks like I may have lost 1 lbs last week. I would love more then that but a pound lost is better then a pound gained. I will update tomorrow on the total lost. Oh and I get a cheat meal next week. I can't wait. I need it so bad!!! Carrabba's here I come!!

Plugging along

So just finished week 2 and I am feeling pretty good. Had my weigh in this morning and I am down another 4 lbs from my last weigh in so my total loss is about 9lbs in 2 weeks. I am quite happy about that. The whole point of this phase is to get your body into Ketosis. Well I am there and my breath is showing it. She said today probably about 2 more weeks of this which makes me feel a little better because I though it was going to be 4-5 weeks. I have not been great about working out because my schedule is so crazy right now with work, kids and my nigh classes. Only a couple more weeks and the class will be over and will lighten my load just a bit.
I have to admit, I am quite tired of vegetables! Two cups of them twice a day is just to much for me. But its working so I will keeping choking them down.

Today is one week since I began Nuviva and I have lost 6 lbs. So happy about that! The No Carb, low fat low sugar started yesterday and its ok so far. I think all the supplements are making me feel ok eating this way. This phase should be 4 or 5 weeks. Can't wait to see what I lose in that time!

New Phase

So I had my appt today to get the next phase of the plan. I was weighed again and lost 5lbs in 5 days. I have 2 more days to complete my detox phase then on to the ketogenic starting Fri. I started the vitamin B12, B6 and amino acid injections today. Hoping for a great boost in energy. He was impressed with my working out and told me not to over do it. So since I am sore today. He asked me to not do the 30 day shred and just walk. He only wants me to do the 30 day shred 3 times a week. Really all the diet is looking for is low impact cardio. Since the calories and carbs are down he doesn't want me to push it to hard.
This next phase is really low carb and also watching the fat intake too. So still not butter or mayo! But this is where the weight should really start to fall off. I sure hope so.
I have 4 supplements that I have to remember to take with my meals. I have a hard time remembering one so I need to find a good system to get them all.
I have been off of work since Fri so I am a little nervous about how I will do when I go back. I have been so good at home keeping track. He assures me that it should be even easier at work since you tend to be busier at work. He must not have 2 small children. Work is a breeze compared to home.

30 Day Shred

Today I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I had a really hard time making it through the whole routine but I did it! I am going to stick with it every day and hope each day gets easier and easier. I think I may have a hard time walking tomorrow though. I am dedicated to this and I am hoping I see big results.
